I can't decide on a blogger template...

And since I still haven't found the time to learn CSS, and I'm too lazy to update my tagboard settings, I decided to stick with the Dots theme (as is with my friendster profile).

So Dots it is, until further notice. :-)
I'm going back to Bora!!!




I really was planning on going back with my aunts this May, but they moved it up to March, which is why I'm beside myself with excitement coz it's just a month away!

I plan to take up my 2nd OCA exam before that time... so right now, I'm busy reviewing for the test, which seems so much harder than the first one. Aside from that, I'm keeping myself busy with work, badminton and *ehem* developing my skillset/s.

That's all I have to say for now. :)

I've never been a doughnut person...which is why I was apathetic to the news that Krispy Kremes would be opening in Manila. I thought to myself, it would be like another GoNuts craze and sooner or later, the lines would thin out and the people would realize that it's just another sugar-loaded, empty carb fix.

I first had a taste of Krispy Kremes during our last US trip last 2004. We stayed with Tito Emmy and his family for a while, and they brought us 2 dozen assorted Krispy Kremes for breakfast. Granted, they were delicious, but like I said, I wasn't a doughnut person, so I didn't crave for it, not even once.

Then, two years later, Krispy Kremes opens at the Fort, and I bought a box of six Original glazed from my friend just so I can relate when people talk about it at work. They were yummier than I remembered, or maybe it's the Original flavor that I liked, I told myself I'd come back once the lines got shorter.

A couple of weeks later, (thanks to the SAS new hires), I had another Krispy Kreme, this time with a chocolate topping and custard filling. Sweet... maybe even a little too sweet, I told myself I can live without the empty calories.

Fast forward to the first week of January. Tere, mom and I were at the Fort and on a whim, we decided to drop by. Apparently, whenever you're in line, they would treat you to a free Original Glazed Krispy Kreme hot off the conveyor. And all I could say was... 'Mmmmmmm.....'

Diets be damned! This sugar-coated morsel of soft dough was delicious! So soft it almost melts in your mouth, with a slight crunch because of the glaze. I'm not sure how long my craving for this sweet, sweet treat will last, but until then...

Wow, it's 2007 already!

I've neglected my blog for the past month or so because it took forever to post new updates when I was still using my old dial-up account...But now, I've finally jumped in the WiFi craze and subscribed to Smart Bro. It was successfully installed at our house last January 10 (after four tries, no less!) and I can't believe how I could have ever settled for dial-up in the first place.

I owe a Boracay blog, and I'm already in the process of completing it, jsut picking out some decent pics to go along with it. I plan to put up the post this weekend (provided I don't have to go to work).

Till then!
