I was very contented with my non-smart (thus, wifi incapable) phone for a few months, until I went to Kuala Lumpur with friends. One friend has an iPhone and the other one has a Samsung Galaxy Tab. Every time we got into a place with wifi, we stop talking to each other because both of [...]
Having read all those posts at Yahoo! News about a body found in a water tank and a body found in a reservoir, I’m now kind of wary about drinking tap water. I know I maybe overreacting but while the news is fresh, I will drink bottled water. Well, when I was still in Japan, [...]
When I was already entitled to upgrade my mobile phone after a year of subscription, I gave my LG phone to my mother. It doesn’t have keypad, all interactions must be through its touchscreen. It also has a decent camera, it could play music and videos, among other things. Yet, after a year of having [...]
Even without reading gps reviews, I have seen how helpful navigation systems are. Many taxis here have GPS navigators which prove to be very helpful both to the drivers and the passengers. These devices might now be as common as portable media players but they still never fail to amaze me. Well, for one I [...]
I received a flyer months ago about ITalkBB. It caught my attention because it was stated there that I only have to pay 14.99SGD a month for unlimited calls to the Philippines! I do admit I spend a lot for my long distance calls and I desperately wanted to cut it down. We do have [...]
My father loved buying electronics stuff. Most of the appliances at home were bought by my father when he left the last company he worked for in Saudi Arabia. He bought some flat-panel CRT TVs and all are still working fine. That was more than 3 years ago. In a way, I’m really glad that [...]
Before I came to Singapore, I thought electronic stuff are cheaper in Japan. Surprisingly, after visiting some electronics stores here in Singapore, I was proven wrong. Famous LCD TV brands are often sold at half the original price that it is so tempting to indulge in one. That is why many Filipinos buy LCD TV [...]
A few weeks ago, our team leader approached a teammate and me and asked what physical “features” of a work laptop we prefer. I tried using one of the company’s 12-inch notebooks. It was very light but it gave me a headache because of the small screen. So I said I prefer a notebook with [...]
The photos I post here are mostly taken using my mobile phone, some I got from friends. I still love my mobile phone when I was still in Japan but I could no longer use it even its camera, because I need to buy a transformer to be able to charge it! The one I [...]
Three years have already passed since my manager in the previous company offered us a laptop computer, payable in 3 installments, interest-free. She (my laptop) is Dell Inspiron 1300. Although I have heard bad comments about her, I had no choice because she was the cheapest option. I was told her lifespan should be around [...]
I don’t want to expose Shaynna to kid-unfriendly TV shows and computer games. But I guess she also needs to be exposed to such things. I am just so glad that she has learned self-discipline on her own. I visited XBox website and found some family-friendly games like Ice Age! I still have no plans [...]
My parents had a wireless broadband connection installed at home more than two years ago. Because of that, I was able to cut back on my long distance call expenses. At least I get to hear them almost daily. They could also see me through my web camera if I am up to it. But, [...]
