What a funny this Spilled Lustre

Kids, don’t use Coffee Cup FTP. It drank this and this site’s cool beans. In fairness to Coffee Cup, it left the photos here in Spilled Lustre. The entries, like Pass The Sauce’s, are gone. I’m guessing it didn’t kill the photos in this blog because they’re not yummy.

Just before I sleep

Why you didn’t see me last Friday at the Oktoberfest kickoff party:

Yooohooo…ysiad! *mmmmm*

*sniffs big brown box*

My pseudo office set-up:

What’s keeping me up:

Trying to shut down. On shift in less than 6 hours.

Live Blogging from Wordcamp Philippines 2008

7:37 Jayvee and I made it to my alma mater, De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde. *wipes sniffles*

7:52 Secured a sweet spot here in the Augusto-Rosario Gonzalez Theater.

8:03 Okayyy now am feeling really nostalgic!

8:22 Greattttt…I ran out of battery! Just found out that there was brownout last night and laptop didn’t charge. At. All.

Oh and I just saw two beautiful Janes come in.

Not a good combo: Neozep and 10K

There are 365 days in one year. Why do I have to deal with colds today? Heck I haven’t even had colds in 18 months til the other day!

I only managed to run this much cause I was sneezing the whole time!

Frustrated

BUT BUT BUT before we burn that really fat lunch we’ve had, let’s road test my new pair of shoes!

FINALLY!

heeeheee thank you

This baby will rotate and burn with my other workout shoes:

dance - run - run
pole dancing - ballet

Yes, I do need another pair of pole dancing shoes (and no, I refuse to wear lucites!)

Since this is an entry about running and I think you won’t believe me if I tell you that I run, do checkout Jayvee’s post for more info on this year’s The Nike+ Human Race 10K.

Feeding My Geekthusiasm

I have this little theory that beauty bloggers have the sweetest and (ahem) most generous lovers. I think it’s just us them being painfully adorable that the men in their lives can’t resist but get them pretty stuff for their doe-like eyes and cushion-y soft lips. I’ve naturally shared this theory with him and:

HIM: But I never got you make-up…
ME: Mweh. Don’t bother. I’ve got too much to last me five lifetimes!

So yeah. When he flew off to my could’ve been work land, I asked him to grab a couple of MAC goodies for me. Am glad that he forgot my theory and actually let me pay for my MACgasm cause if not, I wouldn’t get these:

As mentioned, we’ve been popping by every so often in the Crumpler store in BHS and well, no sight of the yummeh camera strap yet. Before he left, he asked if I wanted one from SG if there is but it’s $25 online and well, that $25 can easily go to my “Pink Kitchen Aid” fund. So no go.

Ok this is me talking really loud with a migraine. I reckon I was complemented as a good photo essay person so here’re photos instead:

I can now camwhore with ease…THANK YOU!

The mandatory before and after shots:

McKoko AFTER

*sigh* These babies are WAYYY better than a palette of 15 MAC e/s (for me at least who again, has more than enough makeup to last 5 lifetimes)!

What A Girl Wants: A Shiny HP 2133 Mini-Note PC

Remember this face? Compare to the face I made last night when I met the HP 2133 Mini-Note PC at BHS (just ignore the huge arms):

I got to play with it for about two minutes until the guys swarmed on me us. Initial impression: it’s a must for someone like me who’s looking for a UPC that’s affordable, stylish, and durable. The super affordable tag price (only P24,950 for the 1.0 GHz, 1GB memory, 120GB drive capacity, Webcam, b/g, Linux model!) has already got me gushing but these are the feats that blew me away:

Weight
Only 1.19kg. That’s good news for someone like me who lugs a massive make-up kit, DSLR, and a speedlight.

Scratch-resistant 8.9-inch WXGA (1280×768 pixels) display
2 YAYs here: no eye strain and no ugly screen protectors.

SD Card reader
Look Ma! No USB cables! Shoot-Transfer-Blog!

Large keyboard
It’s just 8% less than the average keyboard. That’s good news for folks with not so small hands.

HP DuraKeys
It’s got a clear coating applied over the keyboard that protects the finish and the printed characters. Also, HP claims that its keyboard is spill-proof. No need to fret when your coffee spills on the keys!

HP 3D DriveGuard
It’s shock-proof, thanks to its 3D digital accelerometer motion sensor. Very commuter friendly.

Aesthetics
It’s got HP’s signature killer curves and sleek lines. I can totally imagine the “ooohs” and “aaahhhs” I’ll get from my galpals when I whip it out of my equally sleek bags!

Jayvee said that the sound quality’s a killer too! *sigh* Am afraid am gonna go brown bag mode again at work!
