Been sick for the whole week, I don't know if it's just me or the weather or the Mercury Retrogade but I'm not feeling in my usual 100%.
Last night I dreamt about Zara's Further Reduction sale. I went to the mall with my ofcmate and took all the clothes from the kids' line. Yeah, I even tried them on. While I was consumed with the kids' dresses my ofcmate got PLATES- yes plates as in microwavable plates from Zara. So weird.
Then there was a part in my dream where I suddenly alligned my molars, it felt so good. When I woke up I found 4 brackets that needs reattachment. Last Sunday I had 3. My dentist would be very pleased.
EDIT: This was supposed to be posted yesterday (friday) but I lost my connection. I went to the mall (alone) after office and found Zara on sale (was able to score 2 tops). And i made a personal shopping history- for 1 hr 30mins in the mall i bought myself 5 tops, 1 pumps and a belt..from different shops. I think that was the retrogade acting up on me or my own style of dealing with sickness. ;)

Angel is in America :))
The long wait is over...
I remember the first time (like more than 3yrs ago?) I smelled this from my boss, I had to ask the perfume she's wearing talaga and did all the research after. Hay. :)
Thanks Badong, you're the best! :)

What's next?
Totoo ba ito?
Apple Introduces Revolutionary New Laptop With No Keyboard
Truth or hoax, I think this won't work for me. Keyboard sound (especially when you type real fast) is one of the things that makes my day in the office. But I give Steve Jobs three stars for this (if true).

"This is what dreams are made of.."
Being a Psychology graduate, I became accustomed to people asking me questions / interpretation of their dreams as soon as they learned my degree. Truth be told, i have no ayja (idea) because 1: We didn't have Dream Analysis subject and 2: Di ako manghuhula. =))
This morning I stumbled upon an article by Molly Mann on dream analysis and I think I should take this by heart para di naman ako mapahiya pag may nagtanong ulit sakin. ;)
She listed Seven Common Dreams and their meaning.
1. Being chased. Candice Janco, author of the Bedside Dream Dictionary: 500 Dream Symbols and Their Meanings, describes this dream (the most common) as an indication of a felt threat in your waking life. This threat can take the form of a menacing person or a strong emotion with which you are having difficulty coping. Try to determine who or what is chasing you, where the dream takes place, and what your feelings are during the chase to understand what this dreams means to you.
2. Missing an important event because you are late. This can indicate regret over a missed opportunity, inability to make a connection, or desire to pull oneself together. In Dream Power: How to Use Your Night Dreams to Change Your Life, Cynthia Richmond suggests asking questions of dreams in order to understand what this common symbol means to you. For example: What are you missing? Who is disappointed by the missed event? Is it only you or are there others involved?
3. Finding yourself at work or school naked. Not surprisingly, Freud interpreted dreams about being naked as repressed sexual wishes. But the most important part of this dream is the feelings that are involved. You suddenly find yourself exposed, vulnerable, and awkward. What area of your life corresponds to that feeling? Figure this out by noting where you are, who notices you, what part of you is exposed, how people react to you, and how you yourself react to the situation.
4. Falling. Falling indicates feelings of insecurity and lack of support. What situation have you “fallen into?” Who has “let you down?” Perhaps not surprisingly, this particular dream is most common among professional men and women. The Illustrated Dream Dictionary authors Russell Grant and Vicky Emptage note the close relationship between “falling” and “failing.” They also note that the dream’s meaning is probably not so clear-cut. Grant and Emptage ascribe dreams of falling to feelings of isolation, the sense of being without the support and affection that success cannot provide.
5. Flying. Interestingly, Grant and Emptage interpret flying dreams as boasting about sexual powers. The important part of the dream is how you are flying; since the flying itself represents your ambitions, are you flying successfully, or trying and failing to fly as high as possible? From there, they make the leap to feelings of sexual inadequacy, but such feelings of low self-esteem could cover inadequacy of any kind, not just sexual.
6. Losing your teeth. This theme has a number of potential meanings because of the very different significances teeth have to different people. Our teeth are representative of our appearance because our smiles are one of the first things people notice about us. Therefore, dreaming about losing your teeth can indicate insecurity about your appearance, or even fears of sexual impotence, as teeth are often used to flirt with a desired partner. We also use our teeth to bite, chew, and tear, so losing them can mean a loss of power or fear of getting old. Interestingly, this dream is most common among menopausal women, perhaps for all of the above reasons.
7. Snakes. Snakes have been a fear in dreams for quite some time. The ancient Egyptians used to make snakes out of clay and place them at the doors of their homes to frighten away nightmares, believing that snakes were bringers of bad dreams and that the clay snake would keep real ones away. Dreammoods, an online encyclopedia of dream meanings, reports that snakes signify some hidden threat. This makes sense, as most of us fear the “snake in the grass.” Like most other symbols, though, this one has many meanings that depend on context. Snakes shed their skin, so they may signify renewal and transformation. This may be a frightening experience, as most people are uncomfortable with change, or it may be very positive.
Hope this helps!

Thanks 2008, Welcome 2009!
2008 has been very good year for me, it's my best year I think. I had so many blessings last year that even pours even at the end.
Who would've imagined me receiving a recognition from the office as the "Employee with Satisfactory Performance from January - December 2008"? I swear, I didn't expected anything or even thought of it to say the least..it was given on our last day at work. But it was a good surprise, I must say..and timing too. ;)
I made a post last year for my New Year's list and I think I was able to do most of it except for "excercising and eating greens part". Tomorrow I'm going to my dentist to have my braces and I can't imagine what torture I'll face afterwards. And so I pray: "Dear God, please help Dear Ugly Betty chew her meat..she was never a fan of veggies. Seriously."
For 2009 and beyond..let there be more books to read, movies to see, places to visit, beaches to bum, laughs to share, more conversations with a hot brewed coffee, lives to touch, unsolicited advice or just plain non-committal shrugs to give (read: kebs!), hugs to cherish and most especially better relationship with friends, family and love ones. Cheers! :)
