Fwd: Saturday, 20-August-2011 :: Event/s of the Day & Twitter Log

Event of the Day: Brought the Avanza to the Toyota Pasong Tamo service center for its 10K km service appointment. Had to be there by 7.30am, which meant waking up early *moan* again; be sure we are thankful we live literally ten minutes away from the service center! Renovation work is going on at the ground floor, am wondering how they are going to reconfigure the area. Took a look at the showroom model of the RAV4 and was duly impressed by the number of buttons on the dashboard. *chuckle*

Ordered a new lock set while I was in the vicinity of the Parts Department, and will have to schedule another service appointment to get them installed. Given the look of my upcoming week, that will have to be on Friday.

Went home using the Innova, which Ramon used to follow me to the service center. Had time to catch my breath, freshen up, and get Ma moving towards our salon appointment. Ramon stayed home to catch up on sleep, Dad came along for the ride. The salon people were very happy to see us again, and I was in heaven while I finally got the head massage of my dreams, via the hair spa treatment. Emily works absolute magic. Jocelyn was kept busy giving first Ma, then myself, the foot spa with pedicure treatment; I am now possessed of a pair of decent feet.

Lunch was at Italianni's. Dad went into "Cowboys and Aliens" while we were at the salon, but he didn't finish the movie. Went home, had The Nap of Ages (TM), woke up with barely enough time to check that the Avanza was ready for pickup. Ramon drove me down in the Innova, then I sent him home - no use in letting him wait for me at the service center when he could do that just as well at home. Paid for the servicing, picked up the new lockset, picked up the Avanza and got home to a nice dinner.

Did some more bonding with my Tabbie. Discovering functions I never realized were there, and having light bulb moments every five minutes. Now to tweak my netbook settings a wee bit more, to improve readability. Am not sure why a 10in screen should be harder to read than a 7in screen, but I'll get there.
