Holiday

tere — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 02:18:08 +0000

It is a holiday today and I wish to relax and enjoy this day. The little boy is still fast asleep and I will let him sleep more since they have no class anyway. But I’m getting bored waiting. If only we have those xbox games I would not be a little bored right now waiting for hubby to come home a few hours after lunch. Yes they work even on holidays. No complains it’s just that they do indeed have work on holidays.

If we have those games right now, I bet the lil guy is wide awake by now. But the school has limitations when it comes to that but since it is a holiday and there’s no class, maybe we could have those games if only we have those games. It will be a fun holiday!

Panasonic LX5 Firmware Upgrade

tere — Wed, 14 Sep 2011 17:05:18 +0000

Hubby is doing the Panasonic LX5 Firmware Upgrade that he saw online tonight. I have been using less of the Lexy which I have allowed to rest while hubby has been carrying around mostly the D7000 his latest toy. Hope this firmware upgrade on Lexy will make me use it more once again.

Though I still bring Lexy with me often since it is still far more convenient to carry wherever and not as intimidating or attention catching as the D7K. Hubby’s new toy capable of taking nice videos has been very useful during the little boy’s soccer class. We can take still better photos and videos at the same time. Maybe in time I will still get back to the convenience of being easy to carry with regards to using Lexy.

Weekend is Here

Weekend is here indeed and we have a rather busy one that is. There is a lot of work for me but we have to give time for bonding time with the boys even if it just means malling and looking at those plasma tvs once again and wishing we can buy one. I also wish to look into that small aquarium I wanted to show hubby for him to decide if we can have it for the lil boy or not. We also plan to dine out for our food trip weekend.

It need not be an expensive weekend for us. We do plan to visit the computer exhibit at one of the oldest hotels in town that started yesterday and will end tomorrow. Computer geeks out there, see you at Apo View!

We will attend the anticipated mass later this afternoon because hubby will have work tomorrow. Then there is also that children birthday party tomorrow that the little boy is really excited when he found out about it. Well we wish everybody a great, safe and fun weekend with your loved ones!

Never Get Lost Again

tere — Mon, 20 Jun 2011 14:12:04 +0000

My friend was just sharing to me how it meant to her when they would never got lost again during their recent trip to her college friend’s house whom they visited in another state. Good thing there is something called the GPS that is a cost-effective way to ensure you never get lost again. Even he hubby who plays golf sees the benefit of using the Garmin GPS.

Though I am not sure if the GPS is already widely used here in the local area, it is already widely used in the US where my friend lives now. They can easily rely on the GPS and that they cannot make an excuse anymore that they got lost and it will almost make sure they never get lost again.

Excited for iPad2

tere — Wed, 27 Apr 2011 16:44:08 +0000

Are you excited for iPad2 tomorrow? Yes tomorrow because it is just a little way past midnight her of the 28th of April which happens to be the arrival date of Apple’s iPad2 in Japan! Just as two of my techie gadget friends who love Apple’s gadgets were trying to convince and tempt me to buy one a few hours ago.I understand the excitement. I was excited myself but I have other financial priorities now and health-wise concerns that need to be put above this beautiful looking gadget to be released today (in Japan) and tomorrow here!

And so you might have heard so much about the iPad2 Release on April 29, 2011 with List of Stores and Prices in the Philippines.

What I can just do today and tomorrow about it is add it to my wishlist! Practically should not be buying it though it could be so tempting I have to say. In the end I will just have a new beautiful tablet if ever but I have to remind myself we already have a table with a cellphone and a front and rear camera. Hey I am not excited about it ha! I just made two post relating to iPad2! LOL! Yes maybe that is one thing I can do about this just blog only about it because I when should not buy it unless as I have said in my other post, someone would give it as a belated birthday gift. LOL!

Canvass for a New Laptop

tere — Wed, 30 Mar 2011 05:14:27 +0000

Yesterday I started to do a canvass for a new laptop after I noticed the past few days that it been having some problems. Just in case it breaks down though I still am being positive that hopefully it will live months longer. I also found these refurbished laptop computers of the same branch as my lappy and some of which are of a lower price than how much we got this about two years ago.

I am going to hunt for more cheaper options of a laptop in the next few days just to be ready for any emergency. Yet as I have said, I hope this lappy will work with me longer than I can imagine. I will also look into their in store deals in a clearance outlet I found last night. Hope I find a good deal there indeed.

Remains in My Wishlist

tere — Wed, 16 Feb 2011 17:29:32 +0000

The iphone 4 remains in my wishlist still as I still hope that one day this year, I will be lucky enough to have that Apple phone in my hands. I wish it would become a lot more affordable but that might not happen soon. It remains out of stock in the authorized Apple dealer that we go to every now and then. Come to think of it, there are already rumors on the iPhone 5 yet that won’t be out this year I think so I will be wishing still for the latest until the new version comes out. I am going to sleep thinking I am going to get that phone I like as I believe on the power of our mind. Oh well sounds more like wishful thinking!

Watch TV

tere — Wed, 12 Jan 2011 15:50:25 +0000

I wanted to watch TV now but I still have a few chores to finish before finally calling it a night. I have not watched TV so often for years now. But after seeing those plasma tvs at the appliance store in the mall a few days ago makes me wish I have all the time in the world to watch TV and just do that whole day. There are a few brands of TV to choose from when it comes to plasma such as LG, Samsung, and Panasonic. These TVs can allow you to browse the web on your TV.

I have tried watching YouTube on our 32″ TV before. It’s kind of overwhelming at first when you’re used to a small monitor screen but you’ll get used to it. Technology these days have made so many things done possibly through your TV connecting it to the internet. For now though, I just want to watch a few minutes of TV before finally calling it a night!

I Want This Pink

tere — Mon, 13 Dec 2010 11:46:58 +0000

I want this pink ipod shuffle! I don’t know but out of the blue, I suddenly thought of wanting this. Hubby is using my iPod Touch most of the time and though I have my music express mobile phone, I just seem to like having this cool pink music gadget. I’d like to store all Glee music and songs in here. My little boy would want to use it too if and when he will see me using this.

Santa, can I also wish for this pink iPod shuffle, please!!! Aside of course from the good health for us that I am sincerely praying for this Christmas and the years to come.

Mobile Phone TV

tere — Sat, 27 Nov 2010 02:39:13 +0000

My two sisters who lives on their own have no TV at their home. They just rely on my elder sisters mobile phone television. She said she will put on hold any plans to purchase a real TV as of now until her house has been finished. She is at work whole day and she is content with her iMac and her mobile phone TV when she wants to watch certain local TV programs that she cannot watch through the internet or other means.

When we go to her house, we usually bring our own TV if not watch movies in her iMac. But for those who want a mobile phone TV this is a good technology solutions if you want to watch TV at any place at your own convenience and any time you want. My sis can even watch TV while lying in bed in her own bedroom or when my other sister wants to eat while watching TV, she brings along the mobile phone TV. Just great how technology has evolved to suit our own respective convenience.
