a quick rundown of my life

afuna- Wondering what it would take to make a simple iPhone client to catch up to my reading list with ReadItLater integration (exor674 has the Android client well in hand so I'm not going there!)
It took me a week and a half to download 4.33 GB... and then the download failed and now it says it'll take me another 15 days to start from scratch D:
+ update page, chugga chugga chugga
+ a surprise, but I don't want to say anything about it until it's ready (more chugga chugga chugga)
+ getting the dog groomed, so he no longer looks like a rat with a mop on its head :-)
- dog's vet called reminding us that their vaccinations need to be renewed, but I don't feel comfortable with this guy because he doesn't seem to know how to handle the dogs properly...
+ dropped by Zentea again, tried out their almond milk tea (mmm). The naicha is still better, but this is good 'nuff
+ lots of mangoes and singkamas. SUMMER IS HERE
- perhaps too many mangoes; mom bought two kaing (big baskets) worth, at 60-80 pieces in each... :D
+ but this means that we can have mango float / refrigerator cake (layers of mango slices + cream + graham crackers, leave in the refrigerator for a couple hours so that the cream soaks into the graham, serve cold)
+ getting to sit down and talk with someone local who loves knitting, who is close to my age!
- only because she's moving to another country for a couple years and needs to sell off her current yarn stash
+ (from the perspective of my stash) buying said yarn stash off her hands
- (from the perspective of my wallet) buying said yarn stash off her hands
+ she's lending me all her knitting books while she's away! (needs someone to keep them who'll take care of them since they're too heavy for her to lug everything across an ocean)
+ she also recced the Fully Booked in Fort which has a full shelf worth of knitting / crochet / sewing books *_*
- having to leave behind some of said books because of budget
- having to drive at night on EDSA
+ overcoming my fear of driving at night
+ overcoming my fear of driving on EDSA (main thoroughfare)
+ remembering to gas up the car yesterday so I don't have to deal with it today
+ making plans to meet up with friends for merienda or lunch (some time in the future)
+ family stuff
- other family stuff
I believe that all leaves me ahead by a couple thousand ;-)
