Gusto Kong Gumala Pero Walang Pera

Pupunta ako ng Manila ngayong darating na April 25, kasi dadalo ng isang GetTogether ng Netbooks.PH. Meron na nga akong ticket reservation from Cebu Pacific at pabalik ng Cebu April 27. Pero gusto ko pang gumala sa Manila at sa Subic. Gusto ko sanang puntahan ang Manila Ocean Park at Mall of Asia. Dadalawin ko din ang mga kapatid at pamangkin ko sa Subic.

Kaya lang parang kulang pera ko sa panggala. Grabe hirap ng panahon ngayon, ang dali maubos ang pera dahil sa mahal ng mga bilihin ngayon. Pupunta ako ng Gapo para mabigyan nman ako ng pera ng Ate Carol ko kasi mayaman naman yon kasi negosyante. Ang tanong bigyan kaya niya ako ng sapat na halaga?

Pupunta nga pala ako ng Boracay at bayad na ako sa accomodation at fare ko. Ang problima ko talaga yong pocket money ko. Gusto ko talagang makapunta ng Boracay. Kaya nga kahit mahirap ang buhay nagagawan ko ng paraan naman. hehehe! Gusto ko makita ng mga artista don...
Gagala talaga ako iikutin ko ang buong boracay at aakyatin ko ang tutok bundok don.

Malapit na rin ang pasukan...putcha! Enrollment na naman ng anak ko. Ang daming kailangan bilhin sa pasukan...mga libro, uniform at mga gamit sa eskwela. Haiiizzzz!!!!! Walang na ngang natitira sa sweldo ko dahil sa lintik na tuition ng anak ko. Sa private school kasi nag-aaral ang mahal ng tuition. Gusto ko sana transfer sa public school kaya lang ayaw ng hubby ko. Bahala na daw nagdildil kami ng asin basta nasa mabuting school lang anak namin. hehehe!

Makagala pa kaya ako nito?

Easter Sunday Escapade

This is a late post but just allow me...

Easter Sunday, we planned to go to beach (but not the beach in Mactan) . I suggested to go to Island in the Sky so everyone agreed right there and then. We brought barbeque, poso (hanging rice) and softdrinks for lunch. Island in the Sky was just 45 minutes drove at it's 50 km from the City. Entrance fee of 50 pesos, children 25 pesos and cottage rent for 250 not bad at all. Here are some of our pics taken during our visit there. Para kaming nasa Tagaytay ang ganda ng mga view! Panalo!

The hanging scary bridge...

Yeeey I crossed it!

Here's my evidence I crossed that bridge ha!

Asus EeePC 1000HE

Here’s a quick rundown of its specs:

• Intel Atom N280 (1.66GHz)
• 1GB RAM (upgradeable to 2GB)
• 160GB 5400rpm SATA Hard Drive
• Intel GMA 950
• 802.11 a/b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0
• Windows XP
• 1.3mp webcam

The 1000HE has the same glossy fingerprint-magnet finish as that of the other Eee PC’s in the 1000 series. It also has roughly the same weight as the others at 3.2 lbs (this weight is already on the hefty side for netbooks).

The keyboard has improved its design that looks like Mac. They called it chicklet style keyboard, we can see the keyboard when typing in the dark. Galing d ba?

What's really makes this netbook so damn nice is that it uses a 6-cell 8700mAH Li-on battery that they claim can last up to 9.5 hours. Wow this is really truely amazing!!!!

I'm contempleting if I'm going to sell my MSI just for this 1000HE.

LIVE A LIFE THAT MATTERS

Whether you are ready or not, someday your life will come to an end. There will be no more sunrises, no minutes, hours, or days. All the things you collected, whether treasured or forgotten, will pass to someone else.

Your wealth, fame, and temporal power will shrivel to irrelevance. It will not matter what you owned or what you were owed. Your grudges, resentments, frustration, and jealousies will finally disappear. So, too, your hopes, ambitions, plans and to-do lists will expire. The wins and losses that once seemed so important will fade away. It won't matter where you came from, or on what side of the tracks you lived at the end.

It won't matter whether you were beautiful or brilliant, even your gender and skin color will be irrelevant. So what will matter? How will the value of you days be measured? What will matter is not what you bought, but what you built; not what you got, but what you gave.

What will matter is not your success, but your significance. What will matter is not what you learned, but what you taught. What will matter is every act you integrity, compassion, courage, or sacrifice. That enriched, empowered, or encouraged others to emulate your example. What will matter is not your competence, but you character. What will matter is not how many people you knew, but how many will feel a lasting loss when you are gone.

What will matter is not your memories, but the memories that live in those who love you. What will matter is how long you will be remembered, by whom, and for what. Living a life that matter doesn't happen by accident. It's not a matter of circumstances, but of choice. Choose to live a life that matters.......

iPod Shuffle 3G

Apple sent in a review unit of the new iPod Shuffle 3G. Though obviously lacking the usual control buttons, I’m still a bit amused at how small this iPod is (compared to the older generation Shuffles).






In the box: earphones with controls, short USB and iPod Shuffle. The cable of the earphones are a little different from the old ones (this one is more rubbery).

What was the yellow ribbon all about?

To welcome back Mayor Tomas Osmeña, his supporters and friends placed hundreds of yellow ribbons around trees, lamp posts, fences, and even street signs all over the city. According to his supporters, it is their way of welcoming the Mayor who recently flew in the from the United States of America for a short rest here in the Philippines. He will fly back to the United States soon for the removal of his bladder. Get well soon Mayor Tomas Osmeña!

The Top 9 Tips For Extending Your Netbook's Battery Life

For any netbook user, battery life seems to be an issue that just won't go away. Indeed, while netbooks may be ultra portable, their batteries can only extend up to a certain number of hours: 3 hours with a 3-cell battery and proportionally higher with a 6-cell battery and 9-cell battery. Here are some ways to extend your battery life.

Here are some ways to extend your battery life.

1. Demand less from your hard drive.

One of the ways you can do this is to defrag regularly. By defragmenting, your hard drive performs better because it repairs the bad sectors in your hard drive. But of course, you do not defrag your netbook while it's on battery mode.

2. Dim your netbook screen

Cut your netbook's resolution and lighting to the lowest performance to increase battery life. Some netbook's allow you to modify your CPU and your cooling systems, so you might want to set them to the lowest level.

3. Close non-important programs

Some unimportant programs that you might want to close while your netbook is on battery mode are Windows Media Plyer, iTunes, and desktop search. All these programs (substantially) cut down your battery life. Also, if you have an external CD/DVD drive, do not use it while you're on battery mode.

4. Minimize external devices

Plugging USB devices like your USB mouse drain your laptop. So does using Wi-Fi and charging other devices like your iPod. (Charging USB devices while on battery mode is actually the surest way to drain your netbook's battery in the shortest time possible.)

5. Increase the RAM

Increasing the RAM allows you to process more with your netbook's memory rather than relying on its virtual memory, which demands more from your hard drive. Take note that adding more RAM actually consumes more energy, so you only have to do this when you use memory-intensive programs that would otherwise heavily use your virtual memory.

6. Keep your battery contacts clean

Make it a habit to clean your battery's metal contacts every two months with a cloth moistened with rubbing alcohol. This keeps power transfer from your battery more efficient.

7. Take care of your battery

Do not leave a charged battery dormant for long periods of time. When a battery is charged, you should use it every two to three weeks. Do not let your netbook's Li-On battery completely discharge because it will affect the memory.

8. Clean your netbook

There's a lot of sense in periodically cleaning your netbook; your netbook will operate more efficiently because it becomes cooler. Clean your netbook's air vents with a cloth or keyboard cleaner.

9. Do not multi-task

Do one thing at a time on your netbook while you are on battery mode. Do one thing at a time. Set your mind completely on one thing rather than opening your email client, listening to music and typing at the same time. If you do this, you will only drain your battery without getting anything done.
