Yey for frowns!

I came across this from my Gullible Info section on my Google page.

While it takes 67 muscles to frown and only 17 to smile, the 17 smiling muscles must exert 6 times more force to maintain the configuration.

Funny, eh?

Gifts

D got me this for my birthday. It is SO COOL.

(he got me the speakers. he already got me my ipod a few months back.)

He also gave me flowers, a card and a poem he wrote for me. Ok, I take it back. He isn't clueless. He's still cute though...

He also took me out to dinner. I'll blog about it in my food trip blog.

Happy Birthday to Me!

It's my birthday today. Hmm, I don't feel my age. I hope I don't look like it too. =)

If I were back in Manila, I'd throw a party. But, as it is, I'm here in Melbourne with scarcely any friends and no family. Boo hoo.

D's here though. He's been stressing himself as he doesn't have a surprise for me (i LOVE surprises). He's so cute but completely clueless too. Oh well. Boys will be boys.

Anyway, just wanted to greet myself Happy Birthday!

I need to travel more!

I found this site (showing visited countries), which I found cool.

One, for showing me how little of the world I've seen (only 7%! although I could've said I've visited China, as Hong Kong is apparently part of it).



And two, for the comments! They're so interesting and very revealing. Some people are sooo ignorant.

Spring Fever

We went to the city last Saturday to go on this chocoholic tour. It was okay. Not fantastic but still yummy. Got kinda sick of chocolates after the tour though. Hehe.

What was interesting when we went to the city were all these people dressed up (really dressed up) for the Horse Races. Apparently, the Melbourne Cup is a really big thing here in Melbourne. All I know about it is we get Tuesday off (yey!) and that it's funny to see people dressed up to the nines, running to catch the tram (drink & drive rule). =) Click for more info on this bizarre Melburnian tradition.

Yup, they were dressed like that catching public transpo. Go figure.

I got some practice driving done over the weekend. D says I'm getting better but I still feel antsy. Oh well.

Yey, one day of work then a day off!
