Our crowning glory is, almost always, exposed to dust, sun, chemicals, and the elements. Factor in forceful brushing, frequent tying, exposure to high temps and improper hair drying habits, it's no wonder our hair tells a story of their own.<br />
<br />
<div>Can you imagine if every day is a bad hair day? One day, you wake up with dull and limp hair? The next day, you face the mirror with dry and frizzy locks? And on date night, your tresses test your limits by being unmanageable, prone to breakage and worse, split ends are in full attendance! It's a cycle of trials and errors, until we find "<i>the one</i>."</div><div><br />

January 7 was <a href="http://maver.wifespeaks.com/2011/01/2010-freebie-friday-1.html">Freebie Friday</a> - the first for 2011 for <a href="http://maver.wifespeaks.com/">Gossip Gehl Maver</a>. I missed it but I'm cramming to make it before it ends today, before the clock strikes midnight.<br />
<br />
I'm missing one entry so I'm writing this post. A <b>swag of Starbucks</b> is too good to be true. But I'd rather believe it and hope luck is on my side. I'd give the planner away, since I already have one in Wood. My feng shui says wood is good for me this year :)<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
But being the <b>coffeeholic </b>that I am, the rest of the loot would fit my bill. I do hope the odds that rule <a href="http://random.org/">random.org</a> will rule in my favor. Greeting Maver a Happy Happy Birthday! And lemming for luck.<br />

A fellow Atenean, <b>Abe Olandres</b> has been officially "Yuga" since 2005, albeit starting 5 years back.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_T9KJnxaw25E/TRmqkwi4evI/AAAAAAAAAKE/5xu_Oa_HQcU/s1600/yuga+app.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_T9KJnxaw25E/TRmqkwi4evI/AAAAAAAAAKE/5xu_Oa_HQcU/s200/yuga+app.JPG" width="134" /></a><br />
So Yugatech it is. And his updates can be yes-no-meh but it's still new news, hence, the update :) But no doubt, his is one opinion across the web that Pinoy techies adhere to.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
When mobile and craving for that IT tidbit, or wanting to know what's the latest phone to drool on, it's difficult to view <a href="http://www.yugatech.com/">Yugatech</a>'s full site. Enter the <b><a href="http://store.ovi.com/content/41660">Yugatech Ovi App</a></b>. I can now satisfy my reading wants in a mobile-friendly format on my Nokia. No chance for eye strain or damaging phone buttons because content is already mobile-ready, with automatic text wrapping - perfect rendering on my mobile.<br />
<br />
If you're a satisfied Symbian user with a compatible handset, check out this little app. And you'll never miss another Yugatech update again.<br />

If you've tried the planner from a popular coffeeplace, they've allotted spaces for December of the current year and January of the year following next, very convenient.<br />
<br />
Sometimes, we find that the planner we want is not available, may be too expensive, not in the color we like, the paper is so so, or maybe, we're just in the lookout for something more after our own heart. Do check out this <a href="http://dashashash.wordpress.com/2010/12/11/for-the-extremely-anal-oc/">planner featured by <b>Dash</b></a> over at <a href="http://dashashash.wordpress.com/">Pieces of A Wunderkind's Mind</a>. She's even <a href="http://dashashash.wordpress.com/2010/12/16/year-end-giveaway/"><b>giving out one</b></a>, and two more cutesy items, to make sure you're ready as a bee come 2011!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://dashashash.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/dsc05101.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://dashashash.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/dsc05101.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><a name='more'></a><br />
Dash is giving away a planner from <a href="http://planner.wedgienet.net/">Planner People</a>. Add button pins and a blank journal - that's the yearend swag from Dash. You might want to try your chances.<br />
<br />
<b><a href="http://dashashash.wordpress.com/2010/12/16/year-end-giveaway/">Check it out now.</a></b> You have until <b>December 25</b> to send an entry. Winner will be announced <b>December 27</b>. Philippine residents only.<br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal">In my white overalls, I'm on the road at 6am. I have to be earlier than my preceptor. By 6:30, I've clocked in. Inside the complex at 6:45. At the dressing room is Peachy, my O.R. alter-ego.</div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><br />

Case starts 8am and I turn into Lady Jade. Gory with blood splats on my sleeve and shoe - ahh, the perks of surgical adventures. A fainting spell looms in this 4-hour scrub, but my calluses remind me of my nursing duties AND my oversight of my pamper-my-footsy-day yet again. I miss <a href="http://www.getprettified.com/" linkindex="31">getting prettified</a> and going to <a href="http://www.hairsandnailssalon.com/" linkindex="32">Hairs and Nails Salon</a>.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Lunch is quick, with toileting and primping done. A stat appendectomy awaits. Yearning to snatch a little sit-down as my calves are killing me... No go! I scoot to scrub again, humming Happy Birthday twice in my head, with my best friends the betadine and sterile brush. I'll be scaling like mad post-shift, uh-oh. Read: Exfoliation in progress.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Quick stitch, transfer to PACU, clean-as-you-go, paperworks - check! I'm grabbing a stool to rest while filling forms for tomorrow. The whiteboard announces 4 cases! I really have to break my fast come morn!</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">A stat C-section held me up before 3pm, but was done in a flash. Great! Now I'm back to my whites sans the green cap and blue mask. Homeward bound!</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

Have to launder and hang Peachy tonight. I sneak glimpses of the soaps on the boob-tube while I press my other Peachy scrubs. Half a movie at HBO, some notes on my Belle de Jour and some chit-chat with family - that's socials for the evening, dear folks! I forgo the movie to snooze more hours and I'm in fluffy heaven by 9:40 post-kikay rituals. And I say a little prayer...</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt;">Rrriinnnnggg. Dreaming? I smell breakfast, so I MAY be awake. Four cases to table today and I'm jolted off my bed! Graveyard shifts next week spinning in my head while swiping some lipgloss and hairgloss. Hello undereye shadows, a possible skin break-out, difficult morning sleeps and a general bio-rhythm shift! A pseudo-closet rummage leaves me no fabulous choice but don my perennial whites. Fashion has a limited niche when you're inside the OR. But I'm smiling to what this day holds for me. 'Cause today, my lucky number is 4. Found the kikay in me yet?</span><br />
