Last week:

I bought a new phone.  It was a 5310 China Music Express phone.  Me and my sister paid  2.5k worth of 100 peso bills.  What made the experience hilarious was that it was a bit warm on the top floor of Farmers and my sister made a fan of the bills.  She was helping me haggle like some rich matron flapping a bunch of crisp bills to her face.  The middle-aged saleslady kept looking at her and was smiling.  Maybe crispy bills brought a little luck?  I wouldn’t know. :p

The phone itself sucked.  The keys were too crisp and it took me an hour make it into something I could use.  I took the advice of a friend to go back to the store and sell it.  They slashed 500 pesos off of the price. (the cheaters… Wasn’t it illegal to have a no return no exchange policy?)  I gave up and had them reduce the price for a 6300 Nokia Phone which was around 5k.  I was happy with the upgrade and I considered it my basic phone.  Although it was a bit of a rip-off because the micro SD card didn’t work, I don’t really mind.  It will be my basic phone I guess as nobody really sends messages to my sun sim anymore save for one person. (himitsu-desu!)

I opened up a checking account with BPI.  I turned over my personal stash of 10 peso coins worth 4.5k.  I took a picture of it but my cable isn’t cooperating lately so you’ll just have to wait and see how 4.5k worth of 10 peso coins looks like.  It was a minimum of 10,200 pesos with the 200 pesos as the checkbook fee.  Heavy as hell I tell you. Two weeks later; I have 500 pesos worth of 10 peso coins again.  Hyuk hyuk.  Happy hoarding. :p

I watched Transformers 2 finally.  The movie was pure eye-candy and it did nothing for the old hasbro cartoon canon but I still enjoyed it nonetheless.  The two huckleberry redneck autobots were funny as hell. (i love rednecks, don’t you?)  Jetfire was reduced to an old and rotting SR-71 Blackbird.  I thought he would look cool or something but he was an old geezer in the film.  Still nostalgic I guess… the magic of names and wondering how they would look in the film was enough to keep me interested.  The best part of the film was the fight scene of optimus versus Starscream and Megatron and one other decepticon.  Cool as hell.  I even wondered if Robot Jox was as cool. (memories of some movies are still overly exagerrated especially if you haven’t seen the film again, believe me.) Optimus towards the end of the film suddenly looked like the GP02A Gundam when he absorbed Jetfire’s parts.  Awesome, a little bulky and still cool to boot.

I am suddenly wondering why I crammed all of these in one article.  They all suddenly looked clunky and disorganized to me.

That’s me for ya.

:p  I’ll post the pictures later on. (And all the other pics I promised various people that I would print/scan/post.)

Life is beautiful.
