So a bunch of stuff happened over the last two weeks.

1. I went to The Sims™ 3 Launch Party and got the pre-order card for the Collector’s Edition!
2. The Twilight Saga Collection that Will bought for me as a Christmas present, finally arrived.
3. I finally got my MacBook Pro 15″. I’ve been pondering about it for about… forever!
4. My 6 months probation at work is over and I got confirmed. :D

Those are the highlights so far. Work’s been pretty stressful over the past week too. I guess the highlights are supposed to make up for the stress? I don’t know, haha. Only thing I do know, is that I can’t wait to collect my MBP. I had to pre-order, because Pacific City‘s booth at The PC Show ran out of stock. I got tired of waiting, and ended up calling them two days ago. Apparently, the stock will only arrive either this weekend or next week. :/ Man, I hate waiting.

Other than that, both my hosting and domain name got auto-renewed. I only paid for the hosting this time though, since I won money from Namecheap‘s Christmas Twitter contest. xD I wasn’t exactly planning on renewing, since I barely use any of my blogs anymore, but who knows… Maybe over the next year, I’d do something about this, haha.

On yet another note, Father’s Day is this Sunday. Since it’s going to be overcrowded as usual, the family’s celebrating it tomorrow night, after I get off work. Hopefully I won’t be too damn tired to be cheerful. I sure hate deadlines too. ><

[Update (20 Jun 09, 9.09pm): So my mother decided to, without my knowledge, call Pacific City this morning. Stock will most probably get there by Tuesday. That's without having it sent the outlet near work. -_- Darn it. I was already planning to take time off work on Thursday and Friday. It would be annoying if they called me to collect on those days. Hope not, fingers crossed!

Dinner with the parents went good too. Didn't eat a lot since I wasn't exactly hungry. Walked around Hokkaido Fair for a bit too and got some Potato Curry Buns and Salt Caramel Croissants too. Yummy!]

I finally made a new layout. I’d been procrastinating for months, and using other people’s layouts. I prefer using my own, y’know. Then again, the layout isn’t exactly done yet. Still a little more touch ups to go.

Anyhow, thanks everyone for the kind encouragements regarding my last post. :) I’m still trying to figure out what I really want in life. My long term goal is ultimately to move to the UK with my best friend, Reyna. However, before I do that, I need to get enough money. If I were to go for a degree, that would mean I’d take even longer to get enough money. Even so, I have no idea what sort of a degree I’d go for.

I’d love to go for a Creative Writing degree, but not only are there none here (only in English or English Literature), I read that it might not be right for everyone. I mean, not everyone gets published right after they graduate so that might be tough trying to get a steady income.

Gosh, so many things to think about, and not to mention, the economy is not doing as well in recent times. Sigh sigh, what am I to do?

Also, because I’m such a whore for Anberlin and loving it…
