2010: A Review

It's now 2011 and I want to thank the Lord for a good year it was tho, there were downs but ups were dominant. This would be more on what I got before the year ends, preferably, the gadgets I was able to own.

First, I'm a proud owner of a Nook Wifi. It's an ebook reader device by Barnes and Noble. Nook provides a black-and-white E Ink display for viewing digital content with most navigation and additional content provided through a color touchscreen. Now, there's a Nook Color which provides a larger, color LCD display. For more info: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/nook/index.asp. I was able to buy this because of my part-time job. Proud!

Second, cellphone LG GT 505 or LG Ultima. It's a touch screen phone from LG. It costs less than my stolen Samsung Omnia.

Third, since I sent our laptop to my husband, I have to procure another one for the use of kids. I'm using solely our desktop computer because of work. I was able to buy Acer netbook for 15k thru my brother since he's coming home from Saudi and electronic devices are cheaper there compared here.

Last but not the least, my Samsung camera. I also bought it from Saudi since it's way way cheaper there. I was able to buy one from sales from my accessories. Proud!

A different life experience and hoping for no part 2

It's May 13, an ordinary day for me...I was excited to go to Makati to meet some people for some business transactions but it did not happen. I was on my way to Makati riding a jeepney, those jeeps coming from Paliparan to Baclaran via Molino Blvd. I am a regular passenger of jeeps everytime I go to MOA, Baclaran or anywhere in the northern part of Metro Manila. I ride van if I am going to Manila. Yesterday, I told myself I will ride the van since I'm going to Makati and then I will just ride the MRT to Ayala but then when I go out of the subdivision, there was a jeep passing by and it's not yet full so I told myself, I will just ride it since I am in a hurry and I will be late for my appointment. If I will ride the van surely I will be late since I will have to wait for the van to be full before it leaves.

Now, while traveling, there was this one guy who vomited on my back (eeewwww) and there was also another guy who encouraged me to transfer in the opposite seat, which I did. Take note, he even helped me clean up the mess on my back not knowing their accomplice was already doing his best to take from my bag my wallet and my precious cellphone...Then, one by one, they alighted the jeep, 2 or 3 minutes apart. Since, I want to check if I have messages in my cellphone, I look for it in my bag but I can't find it including my wallet. This is my first time to experience this. I was in shock. My fellow passengers gave me part of their money for my fare in going home since I told them that also my wallet was taken and I don't have anymore money left in me. Thanks to all of them. Though life is hard there are still some people who are willing to give you money even they do not know you personally.

So to all fellow passengers, be watchful and if ever same thing happened to you. Always mind your bag...I really learned my lesson. I will not buy a high end cellphone in the meantime...Because I know in the future, I will buy one.
