Thinking Out Loud

I think we can all agree that it is utterly frustrating to experience a power interruption in the middle of working. Am I right? That’s why in the office there are extra toshiba laptops batteries ready for power interruption. Every employee with an issued laptop has an extra battery issued to him/her as well.

This is the best setup as power interruptions happen every now and then. Might as well be ready for one, right? I remember a power interruption that took place for more than three days due to a typhoon that hit the country. It was so terrible that internet cafe shops did everything they could to cater to the people who were looking for an internet connection like me.

Have you had shisha coal yet? Have you had a puff off a shisha pipe? If not, I think you are already missing out on a lot! I have friends who enjoy this hobby, if you must call it. They go to this place, a diner, that offers an al fakher uk and other types of shisha tobacco after your meal. I personally know someone who frequents the place just for the shisha pipes and the relaxing feel after having one.

You know, don’t ask me why some people develop a habit. I think we all need one. We need one constant thing to do again and again. There are a lot of things that can develop into a habit. I do think that people who are so into khalil mamoon and other kinds of shisha truly enjoy it.

Did you know that it is fairly easy to buy shisha brand of pipes in the UK? And it’s cheap, too! I ought to tell three of my friends about this. They are going to be in the UK for a period of time. One will be staying there for further studies. He is being sent by his company to get his masters. Another friend will be staying there for more than 18 months for a contract. It’s work for her. And the third one will be staying there for at least six months for vacation. Her parents and two siblings are all living in the UK now and it’s only her here in another country. All three of them are big fan of shisha brand of pipes! I ought to tell them that in the UK it’s fairly easy to buy it and it’s cheap, too.

If you are looking for shisha brand of pipes as well, just go to www.ShishaPipes.eu now and go buy one for yourself!

Aubrey will be working for a big hospital as an intern starting January of next year. Since the money she has left after the board exams has been depleted applying for work in different hospitals and paying various fees, she is opting for discount scrubs from Marcus to wear for her internship. As soon as she gets her first allowance, she will buy some more scrubs she can wear to the hospital.

She is excited to start her first job. It might be an internship on paper but she will be working like a real nurse already albeit with supervision from the experienced ones. She doesn’t mind. She is actually looking forward to learn from them and she can’t wait to become a full pledged nurse after her internship!

We are teasing Jane, one of my neighborhood friends. She has this undying crush on a guy from the same neighborhood we’re in and we’ve seen the guy grow up alongside us. We don’t know why her crush on him doesn’t die even if the guy is clearly not interested in anything romantic. But it’s always there and she’s always willing to do anything for him.

Like they spent Friday night browsing the web to read the top 10 truck gps at the source. He will buy one and she knows Jane is a techy person so he asked her opinion on it. Imagine spending three hours at Jane’s den browsing the web and discussing technical stuff and Jane’s happy with it!

Anything for him!

I was browsing through hundreds of books that were on sale when all of a sudden I heard someone scream (not too loudly but enough to turn heads) and call out my name. Two of my long lost college friends were also in the bookstore browsing books just like me! I won’t bore you with the details of our trip down memory lane but suffice it to say that our mini chat in the bookstore turned into an all-night reminiscing in a restaurant in Timog. Good thing the restaurant furniture were the comfy ones or we would have gotten blisters on our backsides from the length of time we sat there talking, eating, drinking and just plain laughing at the past.

It was a very memorable night for us. We are still in touch and we will be seeing each other again soon.

My uncle celebrated his 50th birthday last week. Everyone had a blast at the party my aunt and my cousins threw for him. At the end of the party, my uncle opened gifts and his smile was getting wider and wider as he opened one gift after another. He got a fishing rod, a humidor, a couple of shirts, a golf club, and a vacation for two for him and my aunt from their kids! He was so happy with his loot that he kept on telling everyone about it, again and again even if everyone already heard of it. Hahaha!

He’s always been easy to please. But I think more than the gifts he got, it’s the presence of everyone he loves that really made him happier than he can ever be.

Aunt Hilda still have five more weeks to prepare for her annual Halloween party. She throws the best spooky party year after year and people, both family and friends, really anticipate getting their Halloween invitations. It’s a well coveted invite and one where guests also prepare their best spooky costume to use.

I am not much into partying but when I know there’s so much fun to be had, like Aunt Hilda’s Halloween party, I go out of my way to attend it. Anyway, it happens once a year and both young, old and the young at heart, love it!
