after a week of searching, finally found a black dress.
$75 at pacific. it's $25 over budget. just don't wanna shop for dresses anymore.
i'll be wearing this for the next 10 years in all the weddings i attend and concerts that require a dress.
yay!
the Desire is $580 on average at pacific. 1 week to order.
maybe it's better to get it with telus, since i might be switching phones again after 3 years. and if telus is good enough for me to stay, i'll just use the same locked phone.
apparently people aren't able to unlock the phone from telus, and it's a telus exclusive phone.
o well. we'll see what happens around december when my fido contract ends.

問題中女
decided on the HTC Desire.
it's not that big of an expense, if i join Telus.
i'm starting to do the right thing at shopping, especially these bigger expenses.
just walk away first and think more, weigh the balances.
thrown away way too much money this year already!!
sore throat is still there!
but the runny nose is subsiding.
what the hell is going on with sore throat these days?
lots of people got it.
flu? cold? change of weather? allergies?
maybe i'm just more puzzled why my antibiotic treatments didn't kill all the viruses.

decisions
it's that time again...
time to get a new cell phone.
it has been a wonderful 3 years with my current k810i, but i need a smarter one now.
in between the Motorola Backflip ($400) and HTC Desire ($450).
$50 price difference, with the Desire being more slick and more loaded with features.
however, i do like the physical keyboard of the Backflip. and Motorola does run quite fast based on my previous experiences.
Telus has both, but locked.
i'm gonna go touch them when i'm in Fairview tomorrow! XD
maybe Alberto can get a cheaper unlocked one for me from HK/Macau?
so nice to be able to not think about prepping gig music for sunday, since it's not my own gig.
i think my brain likes it so much more now that i'm not teaching in that school on mondays.
nothing depressing to anticipate during the weekend, so i can truly enjoy my weekends even if i'm working.
now work.
just applied for the music library shelving job to get more regular income.
$12 for UT music library per hour, 5 hours minimum per week. not bad.
it is repetitive work, but at least i don't have to interact with people. =P
plus i could get some exercise.
anyway, finally no more thunders tonight. i can fall asleep easier!
let's hope i won't get that weird dream tonight.
last night it was fraud, advancements, and porn. XD

need more rest!
the 6 antibiotic pills is now finished. my throat still feels sore =(
my tongue also feels very thickened and my jaw muscles are sore too.
maybe i just need to sleep earlier and drink more fluids, especially milk?
start to get this toothache too.
sigh.... i'm getting old. everything is busted.
can't believe i only used a few hours to fully copy Larysa's new piece.
but she has tons of corrections.
oh well, i'll do it tomorrow!
i travelled a lot less this year, especially in the summer.
maybe it's a weather thing?
gosh, feel so bloated lately.
getting so fat fat fat!

work and more work
half way there to arranging a slower version of Fly Me to the Moon.
i'm transcribing Nat King Cole's version because it's just so damn beautiful.
gotta make another fast but easier version of it for the trio.
so many arrangements to do, so little time!
i'm also looking for some latin quartet music.
and another reduced set for trio as well.
but that's for another day.

antibiotics it is then.

feeling fine
wanna get a wide angle lens...
guess that'll be my next year's gift to self, maybe next xmas.
budgeting at around $800 after tax.
i feel so accomplished this morning!
was able to get my Bell modem upgrade fee waived.
well, it's already waived when i first talked to technical support for that wireless problem, but they still charged me on the bill.
so i called - waited 15 mins. then i use the online chat - only waited 5 mins.
a nice rep re-waived the fee for me. i seriously think it's a Bell scam/trap.
and Piggie is back~ yay~
certainly put me into a happy september mode even though it's chill and rainy.

tv tv tv
this post is mostly a reminder for myself when shows resume =P
shows i'm currently following:
Vampire Diaries (resumes September 9)
House (resumes September 20)
Fringe (resumes September 23)
Dexter (resumes September 26)
Lie to Me (resumes November 10)
Doctor Who (resumes with Christmas special)
Primeval (resumes January 2011)
Being Human (resumes early 2011)
True Blood (resumes summer 2011)
just started watching Vampire Diaries.
i know it's a teen show, but it's vampires. there's no rules on watching anything vampires ;)
it's a pretty "new" show, only 1 season has been aired, so not too much to catch up before the new season starts next week.
plenty of time since i'm mostly home bound from allergies.
these puffy eyes... these very very puffy and sore eyes... and itchy sinuses!
sigh...
