One eventful day

I suppose it's been a while since my brain has been challenged this much. I was on a UNIX based course today and I am even surprised I enjoye dit so much. God knows how I avoided using vi in my college years, yet there I was trying to rack my brain with the ways to edit and save a file in the damn editor. Anyway, I only retain things when it is absolutely necessary so for the next 2 days I will almost act as if I knew my way around that UNIX (s)hell.

After a morning that breezed through, an afternoon trying to understand a Solaris based sytem configuration on a full stomach and a drowsy head, I was back to my housing area...and on an impulse to buy something for a cute litle girl (Kenzah), entered a kids' clothes shop. After some difficulty, I found some cute clothes, but then after 5 more minutes I found everything cute and ended up with 7 outfits! Imagine if it were for my own kid! I was shocked. So I put everything back on the rails, and started from scratch. I seriously am not fit for this kind of things. It is much easier to buy clothes for myself. These are clothes she will grow out of in a couple of months too, so it seems like an expensive investment. Without being a parent, I now understand the tight budget they have/had to juggle with.

I got sick of trying to make a decision so ended up buying the 2 things I picked up first...I am a gut feeling person after all.

All that is elft is to be pretty for my passport photo tomorrow.

Thrills down my spine

The guitar version is what'#s in my mind but th epiano interpretation of this Albeniz piece is also quite awesome (Granada, Spanish suite).

What I ended up learning

How I love the 'IT Crowd'

It's amazing how the outtakes, bloopers or NG are making my day
