Dell Inspiron Zino HD Desktop

2009-11-18T03:48:00.003+08:00

I’ve been browsing for a good brand of external HD (hard drive) since I’ve been planning to have a 1TB that is portable for the reviewers and other stuff that I’ve been downloading. I added a 320GB HD recently but I don’t think that it would be enough since there are a lot of software, videos & PDF reviewers that I’ve been compiling almost half of it is occupied already. I came across this DELL Inspiron Zino HD; it is actually a mini computer that is very stylish and compact yet powerful!

The size of it is just 8 inches by 8 inches square with interchangeable colors and designs, it supports up to 8GB of 800MHz memory DDR2 SODIMM and up to 1TB SATA II hard drive so lets you enjoy quality graphics via the integrated ATI Radeon HD3200 and optional ATI discrete graphics, store images, listen to music with Conexant CX20561 2.1 Channel, connect wirelessly via the mini PCIe WLAN card that supports 802.11b/g or a/b/g and you can also put a DVD-RW or Blu-ray disc drive.

It’s like giving you everything you need in just a small box! How cool is that? Well, it may be expensive but I think it’s all worth it! I can’t wait to have that pretty gadget!

Giving Thanks!

I’m really happy that the start of the week is getting better and better. After I did a major cleaning yesterday, rearranged my stuff inside the room and just now, my dad replaced the light bulb and installed the TV back here! I’m actually using my brother’s room since he is overseas but before I came back a year ago, they removed the TV and put it outside so my mom could watch TV while cooking or taking a rest in the garage, our dirty kitchen is next to the garage since it is a bit of an open space my mom would always stay there and would sometimes take a nap on the hammock. Anyways, after more than a year of not having TV and just using my PC to watch movies online (I guess it’s also one of the reasons why it got busted recently, OVERUSED), I am really glad that I have a TV again! YEHEY! Along with it is the cable TV connection, so I will get to watch my favorite programs and my PC will have time to rest. These things may be simple or can be considered just a little thing to be happy about but I know that it’s God’s work for me and I’m thankful for that. Oh, happy day!

Enjoyed Weekend!

2009-11-16T10:11:00.002+08:00

Last Friday I was on a holiday but went to the office anyway because of Banchetto, it is an every Friday ritual when the clock strikes 12 midnight half the street of Emerald in Ortigas is closed, caterers and non caterers set up food stalls for them to sell different foods from a full meal to pastries, Mexican to Italian and of course native Filipino food! I went with my friends Grace and Ron. We had a very nice meal! I enjoyed the Blue Marlin Steak… YUM! After a great meal I stayed a couple of hours more just to be with some other friends in the office and since it’s Friday not too much work for them so we get to chit-chat. I went home around 5am since I still have to meet my friend JR Saturday morning for a little shopping spree in GreenHills and a basketball game in the afternoon, we joined this sort of basketball league along with other companies within the area just for a little extra-curricular activity but I’m just part of the audience… HEHEHEH! I felt great because again after a couple of months not going out it was the first! I get a chance to buy my mom what she has been asking me since September, I know I know! You may be thinking that I’m too lazy or whatever but I just don’t feel like going out alone, I like being with friends and enjoy sharing funny stuff. So we left for the game around 3pm as we still have to drop by the office to pick up Rye and Meg. I really enjoyed watching the game, Meg and I really pissed off the other team… HAHAHAHA! Even with just the two of us cheering, as if there’s a group… You can really hear our voices distracting the other players, and even our own team-mates were laughing at us and told us that we were crazy. It did pay off as they won the game! Yippee! I’m looking forward for another enjoyable weekend! =)

Friday Madness

2009-11-13T06:45:00.001+08:00

Just got pissed off this evening or should I say morning when these new guys suddenly put up a loud sound, I don’t know whether they don’t want to hear us talking or they really want to catch our attention. I really don’t understand what the heck is going on, why they get all the special treatment. Our account has a lot of people and yet they are getting our PCs! And now all of us would adjust our schedule and give way for them to have enough computers. Are they expecting us to share 1 computer among 2-3 people? That’s really insane! At least tonight will be my rest day and I won’t be too problematic where I would log on to work. I just hope that everything that they are doing is worth it, because as I can see it, those people are too arrogant for newcomers. It really annoys me seeing their faces! GRRR!!!

Walking On

2009-11-04T11:31:00.003+08:00

This is a point in my life that I need to lay on the things that matters. I know I should have done this long before but sometimes we linger to the pain we feel with no apparent reason and this day comes when we feel that time has left us behind with nothing to hold on to aside from memories…

A Prayer - Letting Go

Dear Jesus, I come to you now with a broken heart and a weary spirit. I don't know how I can carry on each day knowing that a part of me had already gone, never ever to return. Can I ever be complete again? Can I ever smile again at the coming of a new day? Day after day I miss him more and more. Day after day my longing grows but it can never be fulfilled. How can I possibly live my life again? How do I overcome this feeling that I am now all alone and I shall always be alone or the rest of my life? How do I let go? The places we’ve been to, the celebrations we had together, they will never be the same. The emptiness in my heart is so big I can no longer breathe sometimes.

Help me O God! The pain of separation seems more painful to me than death itself. I don’t know how much longer I can carry on. Help me carry on this day Lord. Help me to let go, I pray. Though I may not forget, help me to remember how you have always carried me through. Though the pain may not yet go away, assist me in carrying this cross with hope in my heart.

Let me not forget the people who love me and assist me in this hour of need. May I find strength in them, consolation in the generosity of their hearts. And whenever I’m afraid, let there always be a hand to hold on to, a smile to brighten up my path. Send down your angels Lord and may I recognize your hand upon your every gift and blessing. Give me something to do that I may not feel useless, yet teach me also to rest knowing all will be well after the long dark night.

You are my Rock and my Provider, Savior and Defender, Friend and Lover who will never ever let me down. You will lead me through this day. You will fill my every hour with peace, my every moment with thoughts of your love. I cannot bear the burdens of tomorrow but I will offer you all that I have today. Today is yours O God. This moment is yours. Embrace me and take my hand. I am in your heart. I am safe. I am loved.

Going Down Under...

2009-11-01T08:58:00.003+08:00

I like to travel as much as I want to that I made a list of the countries I wanted to visit. So far I visited 2 from the list and still planning of completing the rest. One of the countries I wanted to visit is Australia, why? Well, really can’t say if this would answer the question but because I wanted to see a Koala… HEHEHE! I find them really cuddly and cute. Some of my friends told me before that it’s really nice there to live because of the cold weather, people are nice and life is simple. Alright back to travelling… What I always do when travelling is to get souvenirs in every place I’ve been to; it makes me feel fulfilled because of the new experiences to look forward to so something to remember is a must. I remember a friend who went there before for training told me that it’s normal for them to have a bottle of beer during lunch, how cool is that? They would walk around and feel the cool breeze of the wind; most of the shops there are closed at 5pm in where they stayed so when I asked him to buy me some stuff he does it during weekends. So since I planned of going there as well, I do some research over the Internet and get across this souvenir site where I saw a koala plush toy with a boomerang, so cute! Aboriginal souvenirs collection like road signs coasters, key rings or key chains, travel bags and the cool kangaroo art wooden notebook and pen that I consider great stuff. They also have handmade souvenirs like hand painted Australian native art canvasses & boomerang. Hopefully, I could visit Australia soon but of course if not I can always get that beautiful work of art through online.

When Abnormality Strikes

2009-10-30T07:18:00.002+08:00

I was thinking of what to share with you guys since last night and just this morning I came up with telling a story. HEHEHE… As I mentioned yesterday we have a Halloween party and supposedly all should wear costumes. So one of my officemate just came in for the morning duty, I saw him that he doesn’t have anything unusual with him so I asked, here’s how the conversation goes:

Me: Ei …. You’re not wearing any costume for today?
Badingky Winky: No.
Me: They said that if you’re not going to then you have to pay the fine of 200 bucks.
Badingky Winky: F*ck Them!
Me: …….
Badingky Winky: I don’t give a d*mn!
Me: ……
*End of conversation*

After his reaction, we all stayed quiet for a few minutes, even the sound of the keyboards as you type suddenly stopped. And then my friend sent me an instant message saying that he’s just like that because there’s no other people especially the managers can hear him but he doesn’t really have the guts to say it up front. I just thought of the word "sinto-sinto" it is one of the common terms pertaining to craziness or any kind of mental disability. That’s the word for today! AHAHAHA…

Trick or Treat or Nothing?!

2009-10-29T07:07:00.002+08:00

Glad to have finished changing the template on my website in one day. I searched for new templates yesterday and managed to upload it as well mid day as well. Still had the time to put some additional stuff like the “Twit This!” at the bottom of my posts , I’m really happy to have found Annie’s site because for an amateur like me in this coding stuff, I’m sure that I won’t reach this far. I got my template from Skin Corner and browsed my way in Annie’s site for cool tweaking guides that helped me improve my page. I haven’t really finished everything but at least I won’t be worrying of skipping the day because you can navigate within as the elements are in their right places. There are a lot of nice templates in Skin Corner, I downloaded a couple but decided to use this because I feel refreshed looking at it. So simple yet unique! I really recommend to everyone these two for all your blogging needs!

Also, I just heard an update here at work that we will have a costumer party this Friday! My goodness! It was scheduled supposedly on Monday but our new boss decided to change it because according to her it’s late already if we are going to celebrate Halloween on Monday. Really not sure whether she is thinking straight or what, so little time to prepare and look for a costume besides I am not into that kind of stuff. So I was thinking of not going to work on Friday and according to the organizers of the event, anyone who is not in costume will pay 200 bucks. Well, I’d rather pay than tire myself in searching those malls after office hours because it’s really hot outside during the afternoon. Not only that, there are so many moms are also buying costumes for their kids for “Trick or Treating” this weekend. I bet when I get to the stores there will be no more stocks. I’m really frustrated with this!

That’s it for now, still have to come up with a plan. HEHEHE!

Satellite Internet within Reach!

2009-10-28T03:14:00.003+08:00

How important is it nowadays to have access to the Internet? Do we consider it a necessity? Some may say yes and some no, I guess it is because of the convenience that they say it is a necessity. I do believe in this era we need to be fast in making efforts to excel in our own chosen path and of course in order for us to do that, we have to learn a lot of things. Alright, others would say you can search in the library or buy books depending on what you want to study. I understand that however, if having a fast and reliable Internet connection won’t you rather save time instead? Again, another concern will be brought up such as the cost. Well, if you would include the time in your calculation I believe that you would still save more in getting an Internet service and also, the Internet is not only for learning but also for business. It makes your business transaction way easier! And having said these, a reliable service that offers a fast connection almost the same as Home and DSL connection, Clear Internet!

Toughie...

2009-10-27T07:22:00.002+08:00

So tired because I wasn’t able to sleep yesterday before coming to work, I thought that things would be alright but turned out to be more stressful. Heard from him already and suddenly my brain stopped functioning and honestly right now I don’t know what to say to him. Just wanted to release what’s inside me right now. I want to burst into tears but I can’t because I should not allow myself to be once again hurt by the same people who never consider me human.

Sudden Moment...

2009-10-25T17:01:00.002+08:00

Today is just one of my ordinary days where I would just sit in front of my computer and check new episodes for my favorite TV series, see updates on FB and think of what to write, slept around 5 this morning and woke up at 11… hehehe! The past few weeks or should I say months, I have been struggling on writing, and then a question popped in, why did I created this site? I sort of list the reasons in my head and well, crossed all the lame stuff which left me with these: I created this site because I was bored when I was abroad and since I don’t have anyone to talk to most of the time, I busied myself in learning basic CSS & HTML just to adjust and add those stuff on the sides. Next would be because I wanted to earn online by doing reviews and so on which is also a good way of polishing my English. Lastly, because I wanted to share things to everyone that could be of help to them & connect with them even in this cyber-world. But, why is it that I don’t update very often, you would ask? I guess because I tried to reconnect with my friends here and wanted to go out and enjoy myself by spending time outdoors. It’s been a long time since I thought of myself and be eager to enjoy my life. I’ve been through a lot and even at this time I still think and somehow feel the pain and it makes me sad so, maybe it causes my brain to shut down as well.

Anyways, that’s it for now… I’d take a nap… feel sleepy listening to my background music… hehehe!

Shop 'til You Drop!

2009-10-23T05:29:00.003+08:00

It is really unnoticeably time flies so fast, the holidays are near people are planning on what and where to buy presents. Having said this, it is expected that different stores are holding midnight sales or large discounts are offered by those big department stores. During this season most establishments are packed with moms, dads, aunts, uncle, etc. who are buying stuff for their loved ones which of course causes traffic to be horribly annoying and time consuming, that is why we unintentionally forget some stuff because we are busy ranting on the road blocked by all kinds of vehicles on their way to the stores. These are few of the reasons why we should be thankful for having the Internet. It gives us access to online stores not only locally but across the globe in the comfort of our home. We can purchase almost everything without us having to go through the difficulty of passing jammed roads, long hours of waiting for you to get a parking slot and most of all crowded corners of shopping centers from toys, books, electronic gadgets, kids’ clothes and so on. I know what you are thinking, buying clothes online? Are you serious? Of course! When you’re buying clothes for your kids especially for girls, we tend to be meticulous, why won’t we? And questions are raised, we need to know what it’s for, will it fit and most of all, the budget! And yes, an Online Shopping site should be of assistance. With this, a very useful link comes to mind as you can find everything here, from casual clothes, dress, ski wears, hats, socks, scarves, footwear that varies from athletic to formal even slippers and a whole lot more. It helps us find stuff according to our taste and needs. Furthermore, we can compare prices as it relinquish us plenty of rope.

The Becoming of What?

2009-10-19T23:09:00.004+08:00

Yet again… almost another month and here I am struggling for something to write… A lot of things happened and maybe I just can’t figure out which one to write about first. To start with, a very disastrous typhoons that hit the country, many people lost their loved ones along with their houses. Some areas are still flooded which caused people to stay in the evacuation centers in an indefinite time. Many were asking what has become of the people and why is it happening to us? Some would say it’s a wake-up call and that we must repent from our sins. There are scientific explanations as well from the experts. But, which one is true? What should we believe in? These are questions that could have many answers and explanations but I guess it depends on each one of us how we will see it. It’s just a matter of choice and importance. Good news though, that there are government and non-government organizations who are actively doing their part in helping the typhoon victims. Hopefully, that they will continue this charity work and may all of us do our share to help even in our own little ways. That's it for now, I'm just going to do a major overhaul of my brain.

Undesirable Weeks

2009-09-21T23:03:00.002+08:00

The more I don’t get to update my blog because my PC died on me 2 weeks ago. I came home on a weekend and thought that I will be able to update my blog and perhaps do some task for my earnings but the moment I turned it on, after a few minutes it gave me a blue screen and thought that I just had to uninstall the software I then installed for my phone but it was not it… After a couple of attempts to make it work suddenly it won’t give me any display. I really thought it was just the power supply not giving enough power and never thought that it could be the motherboard. I called up Acer’s service center and asked for the prices and I was really shocked with the price of the board being Php 8,000, to think that with that price I can already have a quad core PC. So instead of taking my chances that they will consider it to be covered by the warranty I decided to just replace it with better components but less the price! This month is really full of unnecessary expenses and stressed. I don’t know if I should be proud and happy that by the end of the month I will be handling the team as senior. All of my friends at work will be transferring to a different schedule for a technical training, specially my closest friend, so there will be no more mall trips after shifts, no chit chats during shifts making fun of each other… I’m going to miss them all! I wish that I’m with them in that training, I prefer to learn than to be the shock absorber. *sigh* btw, I planned of buying a dog, Shih Tzu. I found a new born in Philippine Pet Finder she is so cute… I already spoke with the breeder and she already reserved one female pup for me! Well, I guess that’s it for now and hopefully my PC will be up next week as I need to still look for better parts to replace it!

Ergonomic Office Chairs

2009-08-29T08:40:00.005+08:00

When working in the office we spend more time sitting as we do our reports and specially, if we are working on a proposal for a very big project with this at the end of the day we experience back aches which we seldom notice that it is due to the chair we are using. So we have to pay attention and see to it that the chair we’ll be using is ergonomic. Ergonomic is the branch of engineering science wherein it focuses on the design of equipment so as to reduce operator fatigue, discomfort and injury. Alright, most of us would think, definitely that is expensive, the office won’t be able to afford it and so on but, there is one thing that we have to keep in mind, not all that sells or offers this kind of equipment are expensive besides if it’s for the sake of not having a back ache and be able to work efficiently, wouldn’t you spend for it? Of course you will. So what are you waiting for? Click here to see all kinds of ergonomic chairs that will suit your needs!

Boring Day Off :(

2009-08-27T11:14:00.002+08:00

It’s my rest day! Yippeee! Yeah I know! It has been almost a month since I last updated and didn’t even bother posting pictures from my last trip in HK. Well, sorry about that but until now I haven’t gotten the pictures because my friend Jayson is still busy doing a lot of things in the office so he doesn’t have the time to send it to me sigh! What else? Hmm... My friend’s wife just gave birth to a baby girl, she’s super cute even only saw her on pictures just congratulated him today... HEHEHE! My friend Gracie’s birthday is today which supposedly I’ll be joining them to go out of town this weekend but such a bummer I’m on a weekend duty in the office so I have to skip that. Also, last week Jeff and I planned of going out later or tomorrow since it’s my off from work but I guess he is too busy studying for his certification exam, so far I don’t have anything to do outside home, will sleep for a while since I wanted to at least rest my eyes from the monitor. Really what a boring day! Wishing that later will go out with friends.

Curl Up With Hair!

2009-07-29T08:04:00.002+08:00

2009-07-19T01:50:00.001+08:00

I often visit my site to update but every time I try to come up with something it just poof then nothing. There are a lot of things in my head that I wanted to share but I don’t know where to start. Just for recaps, I’ve been thinking of the past again and trying to come up with something that would completely disconnect from it. Then, I recently went to HK to have a vacation also to reflect on my life and now I am sitting here in the office composing this while chatting with my ex-BF’s sister who is complaining about the bad attitude that his wife has. Well, it’s just how life is, full of complications and unexplainable things. After reading the comment of his sister I laughed because I never imagine him the way his sister is describing him, so for some reason he is now experiencing his karma not that I prayed for it or whatsoever but it just proves that in every thing you do, whether good or bad time comes that you will receive what is ought for you. Well I guess that is for today and probably next time will share about my holiday trip in HK.

Health Care Affordability

2009-07-15T01:24:00.003+08:00

Health Care benefits are really important nowadays and we should really be careful to what we are looking for in terms of insurance. The government should really be looking into this as well.

Do You Care?

2009-07-07T10:38:00.002+08:00

I have a lot of things to care about right now and sometimes I get tired of thinking which one to prioritize but of course at the end of the day we should set our goals and make sure that we get things done.
