Old school still exists

I was strolling at a local mall and when I passed by a photo processing shop, I cannot help but reminisce the time when we used to have films in our cameras and have them developed at a nearby photo processing shop for developing. With a little curiosity nudging me on my side, I decided to stop by the said shop to see if there are still old school cameras and I was surprised to see that along with the digital fuji cameras, there are still traditional cameras that use films on their showcase.

The dream TV

Finally, after almost a month of getting drowned with the ward’s toxicity level, I came to get out with my colleagues to catch some movies. I felt guilty that I had to leave my practicing charge nurse completing her tasks but I already did my part lightening up her load. We need to run to catch the movie’s last full show. As we hit the escalators toward the cinema, I caught a glimpse of sony lcd tvs on a showcase in an appliance store. I just said to myself, I have been a Sony believer and one day, I will be getting that TV in my living room.

The replacement

I am thinking of getting a replacement for my hand-me-down cell phone. I am really loving its simplicity yet functionality. It has not given me any problems from the time it was given to me by my uncle, aside from getting the battery replacement. The only disadvantage of this cell phone is I do not get to enjoy the free WiFi at certain hotspots because it does not have WiFi feature. Come, November, when I am done with two of my deferred transactions on my credit card, I promised myself to get a new blackberry phone. I am considering BlackBerry curve. I hope it will also last me a lifetime.

A good vice

I really love the sporty atmosphere in the ward. My colleagues are into maintaining a healthy lifestyle amidst the sticky situation in the hospital. Since it is raining, I did not have the luxury of time doing my routing run. I offered my water proof MP3 to my colleague who plans to run 21k in the next leg of the Unliab Run. He politely declined my offer and said that he just need to find water proof accessories for ipod so he could have has MP3 playing even in the rain.

Sale anyone?

I have been to Singapore once and the experience was good . I have been wanting to get another opportunity to get there and I think this time of the year is the most perfect timing as it is the grand Singapore sale. I really wanted to check out their electronics sale especially the computers. I think having this laptop around for more than two years is enough to let it go. I need to keep up with the demands of my work and with my lifestyle. Geez, I need to get a very good deal.

Adapting to change

One of the signs of nation’s development is the advancement of infrastructural projects and architectural designs. We have learned so much in Japanese architecture making metal buildings that are proven to withstand the test of time and nature such as the killer quakes. It is good the third world country like the Philippines is adapting to the demand of our era. It might require some serious amount of financial investment but for sure, it will turn out to be practical in the long run.

The perfect replacement

I have my hand-me-down BlackBerry for almost a year now. I decided to stick with it since it does not give me any problems. But I guess, like any other thing on this earth, its battery has reached its wear-and-tear condition. I cannot afford to get an original battery for a replacement so I settled for what they call “Class A”. There are mobile batteries that really work compatibly with your cell phone. Just be patient in scouting for one.

Thank God for the techies

Our desktop computer has finally been repaired. Thanks to the handy manny brother-in-law of my sister. After some tweaking, its life has been revived. He just advised us to purchase RZR XP Accessories that will protect our computer and boost its performance. It is really hard when you do not know anything about computers. Good thing there is one techy relative that is always ready to lend a hand.

My dream TV

We were at a Sony store in Megamall the other day. My friend has talked me into buying the Sony Walkman W252. I have been dreaming of it ever since. While waiting for our order, we sat down infront of a huge LCD TV and I told my friend that when I land a job abroad, i’ll be getting one. I am just worried that since I have toddler and pre-schooler nieces, they would just break it into pieces. I did not know that he salesman was listening to our conversation and he immediately suggested to purchase tv mounts that will ensure that the pricey thing will be mounted high enough not to be used as drawing board by my cute nieces.

I am having trouble with my laptop. Well for a fact, I have been abusing err using this gadget for nearly two years already. I think the signs of constant hanging, problem with the audio are its loud means of telling me to start finding a replacement. I am now considering a NextBook that I hope would be at par in terms of dependability.
