Getting Confucius on Ophiuchus

Yesterday, I woke up as a Saguittarius but slept last night as an Ophiciuchi. Funnily enough, it sounds like Kalachuchi [Plumeria rubra].

Well if you’re wondering what the hoopla was all about, then this excerpt from ConPost very much summarizes my view in this matter:

I don’t know how I’m going to break this to my fiance.

“Sorry, I am supposed to be with a Gemini,” I will explain. “They are adaptable, versatile, intellectual, and lively, and apparently I crave this. I know, it’s a surprise to me, too! I thought I was supposed to be into stability and consistency.”

“Also, you are an Ophiuchus,” I will add. “I have no idea what that means. Apparently, you like to hold snakes, which is something you should have delicately broken to me before we reached this point.”

According to TIME.com, Ophiuchus is an interpreter of dreams and vivid premonitions. He is envied by his peers and favored by his father and authority figures. Lucky him. The Asclepius and the Caduceus, the medical staff, are also based on this constellation. Remember, snake holder?

Now, could someone please hand me that Sorting Hat? Annnnnd..Slytherin it is!

Also, the second longest word at 29 letters is floccinaucinihilipilification, which is the estimation of something as worthless. In short, ze hoopla.

Hold On To Your Sun Screen

A friend of my mine recently gave me as a going away present a pair of bikinis, sun dresses & a hot black number as I was planning for a vacation. It’s like fate is giving me the go signal to grab some R & R. I can’t believe Puerto Princesa is only FIVE freakin’ days away! Whoot!

Check!

ROSEMARY: Olive, sweetie! There’s a young man here to see you. He said something about asking for your hand in marriage.
OLIVE: Oh happy day, Mama! I thought I was going to have to spend my dowry on booze and pills to numb the loneliness.

I love this scene! Oh and btw, it is considered good manners to say check when one checks ones opponent.

Track It!

The next time the device is accessed, the iPod will send identifying information you can use to track the stolen device like IP address, host name, computer name and geographical location through the internet connection of the device to which the iPod or other gadget is attached.

Twenty-Eleven

Ah yes. Another year, another day, the possibilities seem endless. 1 Jan 2011 was quite a relaxing day for me. I have spent most of the day catching up to several important necessities:  

1. Sleeping in – until 1pm. No need to wake up at 3am for a 12-hour duty. Yes!
2. Reading a good book. I’ve recently purchased a number of books on my last trip from Powerbooks -Glorietta to tide me over for this 3 day weekend (the equivalent of a Christmas Holiday, in my case).
3. Deeply conditioning my hair. A job that requires 2 shampoos, 1 nourishing conditioner and a shower cap. Tying my hair up in a ponytail every time I have duty is starting to take a toll on one of my favourite assets.  Sigh.

I was actually supposed to visit my Aunt with my whole family but thank god my mom took one look at my eye bags, which is now almost receding back to its original form, and decided to let me off the hook. This time, that is. And now, to finish book number one.

Happy Holidays, everyone!
