Together Forever With You

My Mac family has a new member: AirPort Extreme for my wi-fi needs, err, wants. (This is 100% a want since I'm the only internet user here in the house. I just need wi-fi whenever I would rather surf my heart out in my room or in front of the TV instead of in the horribly cold basement. Mina, there are starving kids in Africa!)

Despite my efforts of holding back on Black Friday, I gave in and bought a new one off of eBay recently for only $107.52. Yes, the price was definitely right. To much surprise, the seller sent me the newest model and not the previous version which I had bid on. Happy holidays to me indeed.

And the multi-million dollar question is: What's its name? It's Incheon, named after my favorite airport in the world. Tee hee! ;P

Papa, Kulay, Red, Tuchie, and now Incheon. What a lovely bunch...The Mansanas Bunch. ;P

I Want No Thing, No Thing, But You

Meet Candy, my new Canon EOS Digital Rebel XSi. I was thinking of naming it "Tr1llanes", "Magdal0", or "Gring0", but why take the sexiness out of naming your new Rebel. Candy na lang para sweet because I want to feel that life is indeed sweet when looking at the photos that I've taken with this. Naks!

I decided to make the leap from point-and-shoot to an entry-level DSLR because I'm so tired of horrible night shots when I'm on travel. They've been so bad that I didn't even try taking night pictures in both Korea and Japan last April. I hope that the new DSLR will bring justice to my travel photos...which actually makes me want to re-do all of my Asia travels just to take photos. Hmm...

Recession, employed part-time (at a non-profit no less), but the girl has a new DSLR. All I can say is: take care of your money and it will take care of you when you need it most. :)

Mac Attack

Christmas is around the corner and as always I already know what I want for Jesus' birthday. As soon as Black Friday hits next month, rest assured that it will be mine (not like the price is going to go down by much, but a discount is a discount). Abangan what my new alaga will be!

Actually, what I really want is the new 27" iMac, but I keep telling myself since yesterday that I don't need it. Afterall, I did promise myself that I'm not replacing Papa the Powerbook until the day that I can't install the latest software to make iTunes work. *SIGH. But should anyone want to buy my love (it's for sale, don't hold back!) this holiday season, the link is here.

...Nandiyan ka na naman...Tinutukso-tukso...ang akiiiiiiiiing pusoooooooo...

The Geeks Come Out at Night

So after a month of receiving Tuchie (the iPod Touch), I finally decided to take it out of the box last weekend and let it do its thang. But little did I know that I had to do more than just hook those darn cables from Tuchie to Papa (the PowerBook G4).

It turned out that I needed iTunes v.8, but I couldn't upgrade it because Papa has an older operating system which can't take iTunes v.8 (did you follow all that?). Sneaky Mac folks trying to make more dough. And stupid me for not checking the specs before buying!

After much stress and counting pennies out of my piggy bank the last few days, Allen came to the rescue tonight and upgraded my OS to the latest and greatest Leopard (rawwwwwwr) OS. We got to the library at 7:30pm, but the library closed at 9pm so us two geeks were outside of the library doors, cheering Leopard to hurry up and prowl Papa already. Empty library, locked doors, two geeks, and one laptop emitting light from its screen. Talk about the geekiest thing I've done lately. Ahh, but it was all worth it.

Tuchie is now ready for international travel and Leopard on Papa is just plain s3xy. I'm officially cool, people.

HD Headache

While millions of children are starving in Africa, I'm sitting here, freaking out about which LCD HDTV to buy:

Option #1: Samsung 46", LN46A550
Cons: Sound isn't so stellar daw

Option #2: Sony Bravia 42", KDL-42V4100
Cons: Smaller than 46" obviously...if I go for the Sony 46" mas mahal sa Samsung 46"

My gawd, ganito bang kahirap bumili ng boyfriend?!

Touched for the Very First Time

What's this box doing here?


I still can't tell...


Oooh, Amazon creating suspense with a white wrapper.


Self, you shouldn't have!

Meet Tuchie (pronounced "Too-chee"), my new 16GB, wi-fi-enabled traveling companion. Kulay has been all over SE Asia and the Philippines already and his battery is running too short these days after four eventful years that it's time to keep him in the office and bring someone else along on the road. Hence, Tuchie and she's a s3xy girl...like I am. LoL.

You know, it's things like these that empower me to be single. I keep thinking, "If I can get myself an iPod iTouch, who the heck needs a generous boyfriend?" (But then over the weekend, I found out that GabValenciano got RachelleAnnGo a MacBook for Christmas and that made me feel otherwise. ;P Note to self: Please don't advertise again that you watch The Buzz.)
