Particularly because I intend to take the bus tomorrow to office. But I guess that's not about happen. The rain has been pouring nonstop all night. My car's parked outside tonight of all the nights...pretty worrisome, especially knowing that the roads are so prone to flooding.
Anyway its 2.20 AM now and I've been wasting my time applying for listening to music, playing games and applying for digital signatures(weird...). So when I ran out of options I decided to read my fave RSS feeds. BTW, I use Google reader as my web aggregator. One of my favourite blogs has been cheese and beans. My reader is cluttered is feeds from mostly technology and mobile blogs, and this comes out as a fresh exception in the mundane tech list.

Sounds pretty sophisticated...Just imagining that I'm going to indulge in a cup of Trimethylxanthine makes me feel powerful..Lol..
I really don't have much to write about so early in the morning. But I want a cup of coffee....
