Jeanne got these little toy LED lights from Jet’s birthday party. We were playing around with them when I noticed how bright the yellow one is. I took out my trusty Photon Microlight and indeed it pales in comparison to the toy! So I swapped the LEDs and now my Photon Microlight is brighter :D

I didn’t really get kiddie parties. Jeanne was too small during some earlier parties. And though she had fun at Megan’s birthday party, she slept through much of it. But today, Jeanne, Michelle, and I attended Jet’s birthday party and the look on her face when she was mingling/playing with the other kids, seeing Jollibee, and gathering around the birthday cake for the candle blowing was priceless. I think I now get kiddie parties.
Michelle cooked up a wonderful dinner of fettuccine with tomato sauce and meatballs. All covered with cheese. Unfortunately, we had run out of parmesan so we we had to make do with grated cheddar. Yum!
Google’s predilection to default to Tagalog even when I’m already logged in irritates me to no end. Alex tried to invite me to Google+ and I clicked the “Join Google+” button. Unfortunately, it didn’t work. Already miffed at still not being in, I got more so when I saw “+Ikaw” and the rest of the page in Tagalog (“Palagi Akong Balitaan”, etc). As John Malkovich’s character said in the latest Transformers movie, WTF to that! And then it gives me an option to translate it to English like it’s an afterthought. Also, is there anything more awkward than “+Ikaw”? How do you read that anyway? “Dagdag ikaw”? “Karagdagang ikaw”? I generally mislike Tagalog on the web but I just hate this stupid behavior of Google’s. I expect it to be smarter. And before anybody starts preaching about loving your own, Tagalog is my third language. My first and second are either of English and Cebuano. So there.
