My Love-Hate Relationship with Ronald.

While everyone else is in the hype of collecting those highly coveted stickers from Starbucks, I was up one night Facebook-ing and I saw this ad.

Cool.

But then, this would mean another full load of calorie intake for my body. The Starbucks coffee I drink basically reaches 500 calories. Imagine coupling that up with a McDonald's value meal. (Now I'm starting to crave fries. Haha!)

So ladidadida, I clicked the ad and look what I found:

Why hello there pretty glasses. :)

My jaw dropped while my heart jumped. The Coke contour glasses are back! Yay! These babies first appeared last year as clear glasses with the Olympic sports logo. There were actually five released in the Philippines, of which I only got three unfortunately. Anyway, I saw this ad on 6Nov, around midnight. I was actually tempted to dial the 8MCDO hotline to get all six. But I was too sleepy to do that so I put it to rest and decided to start collecting when I wake up.

It's been two weeks since the ad was launched. I actually have five now. The blue one is technically not mine because I gave it to Pao on his birthday, but we have it on display at the house beside my Olympic editions. :)

The lime, on the other hand, was bought for me by Monique. Yay!

So this morning, before heading to the office, I stopped by McDonald's to buy breakfast. To my shock, the branch I went in had ran out of the glasses. :( Actually, I just figured that out since I remember the ad said the promo will run til the 22nd. I have yet other branches to check out. Haha.

Oh well. It's just breakfast time. And I still have four days left til the end of the promo. I'm praying really hard to get all six. If I don't get all, will someone please sell me their GREEN contour glass? :)

Dream of Me.

While I am having this huge problem of not getting enough sleep and basically falling asleep on my office desk during the day, my cat apparently has been getting more than the average share of zzz's.

And while we're at it, he never ceases to amaze me at how he can sleep throughout the day in random pretzel-like positions.

 

And if you're wondering, that bear is his. He always sleeps with it.

I wonder when will I get to sleep like this one of these days...

Caffeine Overdose.

Studies show that when a person lacks sleep, they tend to be cranky, have poor concentration, and at most of the time, disoriented. I know so, because that's what I read in Reader's Digest (they had an article wherein the writer did not sleep and observed how he would cope up with the world,) and myself is a living proof to it, as what my boss has observed in the past week.

Basically I slept for less than four hours today. Not the night before, because I was wide awake, busy trying to get myself to sleep. As expected, I was cranky. Maybe not to everyone, but it is evident to the rest of the world. On top of that, I have to repeat things over to myself before I can finally understand what is going on. And as of this moment I think my eyesight is suffering from all this abuse that my body is getting.

Anyway, my rambling for tonight can be blamed on my coffee fix. Really. I have no intention to blog tonight but when my lips touched the oh-so-creamy bittersweet drink, my thoughts poured out. Imagine how I looked like walking around in the mall, drinking coffee, staring out into space and deep in thought. (Now I realize none of the salespeople in the mall approached me when I entered their boutiques.)

So tonight, I am sleepy, a bit hungry, cranky, disoriented, and caffeine-shocked, and I'm now wondering how I managed to type in four paragraphs of nonsense.

And I'm not yet done.

Because I think my memory is coming back as I remembered why I wanted to blog tonight. So while I was a caffeine zombie at the mall, I dropped by Shopwise. I was actually done with my groceries but my system is still absorbing caffeine and it has been telling me to absorb information, I stopped by the pets' aisle.

A few weeks ago, I had this dilemma of having to choose which brand should I buy for my pet, and tonight, ladies and gentlemen, I went there to see if I can resolve things. The caffeine was definitely kicking in as I found myself arguing with myself about the two brands. The case: one has this cute kitty picture, the other was in an environment-friendly packaging, not to mention cheaper.

Okay, this is one wordy rambling. I'm pretty sure when I wake up tomorrow and read what I posted tonight, I will ask myself again for the nth time, "what?"

Any idea how I can decaffeinate my system?
