Enjoy the little things in life

This is a true story. It is a story that made you speechless, laugh, and shaking your head at the same time BUT there's nothing you can do because it is done.
So enough prologue.
This happened some time last year, a friend of mine had a $18 office depot gift card that would expire at the end of October 2009.
He went to the store on the 2nd week of Oct and spent all $18 on chocolate! He got himself a small bag of m& m, and a couple reese's.
I was visiting him and saw all these chocolate on the coffee table and I asked him what's up with the sweets.
He said he was getting ready for Halloween. Yeah right! 5 small bags of chocolate for Halloween??? That would last for the first group of kids that showed up.
Then I saw a receipt and read it and that's how I found out he spent the whole 18 bucks on chocolate because he did not know what to get at the store.
O Lord have mercy :>

So there it is. I did not say anything. I just smiled and shook my head.

Moved!

I am officially the resident of town C! I moved yesterday. I have to thank the person(s) who is watching over me because the weather was great. It did not snow like they predicted. It was sunny and not too windy.
I was debating whether I should move this Saturday because of the forecast.
It was supposed to snow at 9 am till noon which was my exact moving schedule. I was looking out the window that morning and it did not snow so I called my friends that the move was still on.
i have to thank my friends too. They showed up and helped me move. the move started at 10 am and finished at 1 pm.
I don't have a lot of things but my new place is on the 2nd floor and the complex does not have an elevator.
So we had to go up and down the steps all the time.
It was quite a workout :)

Today is Chinese New Year and Valentine's day. I didn't do much. Unpacked and cleaned up the new place a little bit which I was not supposed to be doing because it is the New Year! Afterwards, I called my folks and friends to wish them a good year.
I am sooooooooo glad that I decided to take the international plan into my cellphone.
You had no idea how long I have been struggling to find a good phone service to call home.
I have tried a .50/minute calling card and it works just like the .02/minute one.
Go figure.
Ok, no more complaining.
I am just so glad I am able to talk to my family with no static and echo.
