Merry Christmas! (Gifting & Thank Yous)

The holiday season is definitely one of my favorite times of the year. Not only do I get to reunite with my family and friends, I also get to give and receive presents!

For this year, I was really on a tight budget because I’m currently surviving on my savings (long story). Because of this, it proved to be a challenged to find nice, useful, and budget friendly gifts. After tirelessly shopping all over the Makati malls, I was able to get a cool thermal pack for my dad, a Rustans gold pouch for my mom, a nice Warehouse top for my sister, a cute keyboard cleaner for my brother, Addidas jersey for my boyfriend, colorful hair elastic bands and magic wallet for my girl friends. (Shucks, I forgot to take their pictures!) I hope everyone loved their gifts, and use them one of these days. :)

Now for my gifts, I got these pretty cool stuff.

I want to say THANK YOU! I really love everything that I got this Christmas. A lot of them are really useful – actually, I’ve already started using some of these items. :) So happy!

Starbucks Planner 2012

Starbucks 2012 Planner

Starbucks 2012 Planner

After 13 days of collecting stickers, I finally got my Starbucks Planner for 2012. The race to complete the required number of stickers for the planner is one holiday tradition that I couldn’t get rid of.

Starbucks Planner 2005 - 2011

Since 2005, I’ve been gulping down Starbucks coffee to collect their planners. Some I’ve used, some I got for collection purposes. I’ve never really skipped a year because I don’t really like having incomplete collections. (Yes, I’m aware that I don’t have the 2004 edition. Too bad I can’t turn back time to get it).

Anyway, I can’t wait to use this one. It’s small, and it won’t be such a hassle to carry it around everywhere. Majority of you would probably tell me to just get a smartphone, but I still like doodling and sticking small memorabilia to my planner / journal. Yeah, I’m ‘old school’ and the Starbucks Planner 2012 is perfect for that.

How to Fix Apple’s Mighty Mouse Scroll Ball

My Mighty Mouse scroll ball hasn’t been working properly for several months now. I can only scroll up, left and right but now down. It was annoying but I adapted; instead of dragging the sidebar downwards every time, I start at the bottom of the page and scroll up. But just a few minutes ago, this Mighty Mouse was just too good to even scroll up. I was about to online shop for a new mouse when it occurred to me ‘google’ how to fix it. Apparently, it’s a common problem.

After a few minutes checking out several how-to websites, I’ve found that various people tried out several things. Well, I tried one that’s the easiest to do. I flipped my mouse upside down on a clean piece of paper, pressed hard and roll it around several times. And well, it worked! You could see how it’s done in the video tutorial below.
