If you ask me that question, it is very much important to me as I live far from my folks. Okay, that is just a minor reason. The fact that most folks now have computers and most transactions can be done through computers (take note "easily done") then it is important as in essential in our home. That is why we have to study about computers so we have ideas how to run and care of it. I have seen if folks cannot buy the brand new ones, they would settle for refurbished computers to respond to the demand. Some people evolve their lives on computer, we cannot blame them as many of them, their work is online.

What about you, how important is computer to you? How do you like refurbished computer?

A mobile phone (also known as cellphone or cellular phone) has different type like gsm, smartphone, and many others alike which  an example of smartphone are htc, desire, android iPhone and alike. Aside from its beautiful physical appearance, what is really great about those phones are just like a small netbook. It has many features which one can connect to a modern world or technology. One can then browse some more important thing for pleasure and of course for necessities.

When I think of the Fall, I think about Rugby. The best time for a little rugby is just as the leaves start touching the ground and the weather gets a little nasty. I've been playing rugby with my friends ever since I was a wee little tot and while I enjoy a spot of angling as well in the Fall, rugby is most definitely my favorite of all the fall sports. 

Nowadays, I often play with my roommates on the weekends. Since we all go out for the entire day, we make sure to set our home security alarm (ADT CA online offer) before we go. After throwing all our gear and a cooler in the trunk, we head over to the store for some liquor and grub. Once we reach the field at Skyline we flip a coin to pick the teams and get started with the 1st game. Afterward we all down some ale and then we get on to game number two. We continue on this path for as many games as we can go. It's quite hysterical once we're getting on to games number six or seven. By then most of us are well liquored up and not in our right state of minds. It really doesn't matter who wins or loses, its all in good fun. Although I'm not sure all my friends would agree with me on that one.

Electronics, how we love to have it! Well, talking about US of A, most folks here have their own cool electronics stuffs. One lives with a house controlled by it. That is the power of having one, can afford such and great smart skillful folks and laborers built such. With the power of technology, works become easy and tolerable. Love of such makes it perfect. What a life! As long as you have the will to work and get it by your own hard labor. Now, that would make it the fruit of labor. :-) Have a great one which is sophisticated.

Gimme money! Hahaha! Aright, you might think I have a lot of money or I am obsessed about it. You are wrong, either which it do not apply to me but if you give me without something in return (I know it is impossible), then surely I will accept with all my hands or 10 fingers with all my heart. Hehehe! How is that? *wink* ;-)

I am a product of hard-lessons in life and with that, yes am resilient and committed to what I want or should I say, I need. Money is nothing if it forfeit our souls. Of course it is important as it is the medium of exchange especially here in United States but that is all about it. Your truly is already determined of just have enough (I guess most of all you do, maybe, just maybe since you are the one who knows about it), yes average or more a little more than average but of course it is great being rich but then that will be hard for me, for my situation or maybe if we will win a lotto. Ha ha ha! Oops, it would not be possible. :-D Okay, but I am striving not going down since I know how hard it is. I can sense some younger ones just don't really care about it. I do not know their future, especially if being pregnant young. Well, I guess they made their fate and that is being down though there are also some recovered. Ahhh.. my maternal first cousin came up unto my mind. I am disappointed, I just knew days ago she was pregnant. :( Now back to the main topic, just being silly and played the pre-graphics of my SGH-A777 (in case you may ask, just evidence. ha ha ha) phone and did some putting-up my photo and so it came-out below.
How do you like it? Ha ha ha! Errr.. corny.. :-P

Before I retired, I worked a chef at this bistro downtown. I’ve always loved to cook, and, now that I’m not working, I feel like I actually have time to create more recipes than ever before!
I recently concocted this amazing pork marinade, so I decided to buy a bunch of pork loin and invite our friends over for a dinner party to try it out. All 12 of us sat around our big dining room table and enjoyed both each other’s company and the enormous amounts of food I’d made. 

Well, it’s hard enough to keep up with conversation when you’ve got that many people talking, but about mid-way through the party I realized that my hearing felt a little fuzzy. I couldn’t quite understand what my friends on the other side of the room were saying, and I started lagging behind in the conversation. The next day, I made an appointment to have my hearing checked. 

Turns out I actually needed hearing aids—badly. I chose a pair from Miracle Ear that I’d liked the best, and now I can hear great. I can’t wait until our next party, when I can actually enjoy our conversation!

I watch NASCAR every now and then with my friends but when I think of Daytona, I think of Daytona Beach, not the huge race that takes place there every year.
My family always went to Daytona Beach so I just love going there each year for my vacation. This year when I was sitting on the beach with my wife and kids under one of those rental umbrellas I was telling them about my summers there with my parents before that but I was having a hard time hearing their part of the conversation. After asking "what" so many times and for them to repeat themselves my wife suggested that I look up Miracle Ear and go to one.

So I did that while I was still relaxed after my vacation. I'm glad that I did because I think that's going to help me create and fully experience even more memories. I think that we're going to go back to the beach during our kids' Christmas break for the shopping, putt putt, driving go karts and other fun things because you can't really swim in the ocean then because it's too cold.

If you could remember the post about my ultimate wish this year then you will know how hungry and thirsty (what a words huh! :D ) of a digital SLR though there is that second thought (aside from it is kinda heavy for my light pocket) on the other side of my brain because of its heaviness. Just a personal thought but the bigger reason is the bucks (LOL).

I just then realized after scouring the pages of such brands, the research, reviews and chasing (*wink) I came to realize it is not practical for me to have it this time. But instead I have my wish before I thought of that DSLR, it is something that makes it sophisticated or for the soon-event that would happen. I would just let it remain just a mystery for that stuff and that planned event to happen for now. I will just then reveal if I have it already. Hehehe! Ting..ti..di..ding... ;-) I thought I would enjoy it more than DSLR yet. For DSLR, it would just still be a wish-a-wish but not that I so dying to have it for the moment. Waaaa.. Guess? It is still just a digi-camera. (LOL) but not "SLR". Perhaps I could just wait for a lightweight DSLR. :) Just a personal thought, not against (actually I so love to have it as I said) of course. :)

iPhone is one of the very popular phone nowadays. Aside from it has a lot of features, offers a fast wi-fi Internet connection, a lot of memory and sms, mms, video call, email, chat and many more fun it gets one can have. In return, it also gets a monthly maintenance for those connections. I could say it is only practically great for businesspeople, investors, occupied students, for middle-class family standard or others who just wanted it. Well, all I can say is good for them! It helps them a lot. Good thing, many (if not all) of them got iPhone warranty if there is something will happen to the gadget beyond man's care. Circumstances like that could happen and it is great to have a warranty. If you have an iphone and do not have yet, you may like to get it to be protected at any circumstances. All the best!

Momentarily, oops! I mean for this year or before November, my only ultimate wish is digital SLR camera either of the brand Canon, Nikon or Sony. My DH and I do not have a brand Canon or Nikon yet but for Sony, we have our video cam already of this brand that is why it is my third choice if ever I could own one. Momma Ench and Dhemz suggested to have the first and second choices and made me to realize and comprehend it is also great to have knowing those brands are already tested for how many years. Just days ago, Sony sent me email and mail (after I subscribed and put-up the video cam registration) that Sony have now a lightweight DSLR unlike the traditional heavy one. I got curious and made me wish to have one. Well, you could not blame me for wishing to have a DSLR camera for I love to take photos which I could think I began to love it when I was nine years old after my mother brought one home which made me broke it without her knowing. Whoa! Bad me! But she knew who made to broke it after I told her afterward. *grin* Oops I am not that stubborn, okay? It just made me realize how I love to pose and take pictures. Ha! ;-) Okay, that is all about it. Not the very high-end but above the average. *wink* I am saving for it but I guess it will take me 148 years to get all the accessories and main DSLR. Ha ha ha! If one would offer as a gift, why not? Paging DH (or any of you?)! Ha ha. Am just kidding Hon. I understand how it is tough to get bucks and just have it for a want. Whew! ;-) It is my wish but there are obstacles from surroundings which made me not to get it because they also wanted my savings for that DSLR. Geeezz! I wonder what can I get when I will give what they wanted in exchange of soon-reward for myself. :( My DH is outside with that. Anyhow, I just lay down my hands to God with it. Wish-a-wish!

It is not me who longed for a mobile phone but my youngest paternal sibling. Actually, she already has a cellphone but it is not camera with USB capable. That is why she wants one. She already works but not related to her finished course, nevertheless since she will take a board this coming October or November. I hope she already saved for it from her salary or else she's in trouble. Well I understand, it is also a great feeling if one rewards for herself especially if she is doing great in her job. That is why I am not against with it. And she likes me to buy it here and she will be the one to pay for it. Hence, I am on look-out of the stores selling one for her and of course its cell phone reviews from former customers would make me feel well for I do not know if it is wise to buy it here than buying it there. The price and quality should have to be compared though I am chasing for blackberry or iPhone for her. After all, she is the one paying for it. Hahaha! Oops, I am broke she knows it because I am also supporting for our brother's tuition and she knew it, good thing she is not an spoiled brat. Whew! ;-) I wish her luck for her first personal stuff from her hard-earned money. :-)

Moving to a new city can be extremely overwhelming for anyone. Even the best planned out moves, often times have something go wrong. I recently moved to Texas from Illinois. Even thought I had about six months to prepare for the move, it was still an extremely stressful time. Between finding a new place, getting everything planned out for the trip and selling off items that weren’t going to make the cross country trip, those six months were packed full. After finding a home for my family and I, I wanted to make sure that it would be ready for us to move in as soon as we arrived in Texas I called and had a San Antonio home security system put in, so that we would not have to worry about that after we got there. Knowing that was taken care of, left me feeling slightly less frazzled.

The move across the country was long and difficult. The week before we left for the move, we called and had a number of different services turned on at the new home, so we would be as comfortable as possible upon arriving. Having cable turned on and the internet ready for our family was a great treat once we arrived in Arizona. Having all of these things hooked up made the process of unpacking seem not nearly as bad.

I got a tip about how to protect credit/debit card accounts from yahoo news. As I was browsing some relevant information (though this next thing is not from yahoo news but quiet interesting which worth a time), I got bumped with this RFID thing which can be found in identification stuffs like what everyone has in their wallets. Example for this are driver's license, debit/credit cards, state identification and many more which shows a personal information which is very much prone for identity theft. With this RFID which give info for whatever we want to have, in other way, "bad guys" are also wanting it, even if its inside your purse/wallet! Good thing, there's this RFID blocking wallet which is one way to help protect our information from this negative individuals.
In our life's journey, we know that "bad guys" are just in the corner. They are anywhere. Yes, they maybe happy of what they have come (if they win) but sooner or later, their conscience will haunt them down, rotten and fall them little by little. That is guaranteed in the name of goodness. But yes, we cannot protect of what we have if we just depend on that, we also need some action physically as of mixing them together could free us as their victim. May they will be enlightened that doing bad things to other would not make them happy (maybe not sooner, but later), ever!

My son Andrew is now three years old. The internet has been an invaluable tool that has aided in his reading skills and language development. Andrew was slow to speak, but he is beginning to pronounce most of his words correctly.

We have Hughes net internet in bozeman mo, and I bought Andrew a computer last Christmas when he was two years old. I started by introducing him to family-friendly TV shows that I enjoyed when I was a kid. He watches those old shows on via his computer. The word games that Andrew plays on websites like WordWorld have aroused his interest in words and reading. He also enjoys watching kids' videos and sing-along videos on YouTube. He laughs and sings along with the videos and even tries to repeat new words he's learned online.

The computer I bought for him is called a net-book, and it was only $300. It is his new favorite toy. I monitor what he watches using satellite internet Montana, of course. I feel that he's getting a jump start on learning. He already knows the alphabet and how to spell basic words by sight reading them. I recommend that any parent invest in a computer as a learning tool for their child.

This was taken on the 28th of May, that was more than a month already from now counting days back. She is beautiful, smart and big baby. She is American, I could say she is big because her body is not a typical body I used to see back home in my home country. And yes, she is pretty. By just looking at her physique now, her nose is tall already. Ooh well, her parents have tall nose. ;-) I am just describing what I see not because Danielle is my DH relative, close family circle but without bias. Too bad I cannot let you see clearly of her due to my blurry takes on my phone. If only I charged my digital cam battery and a good angle with a steady position, I can have a good picture of her.
Ooh well, I will save it for the next time. See how she smiles. ;-) She was sitting that time on my computer table chair and that is her favorite spot with her hands on my computer. And I love it! Look at her fingers! ;)
She knows I love to spoil her, positively. Every time she went into our home, she directly go on my table and do the typing! Oops, she is learning. :) With only more than year old (turn two years old on September this year), she can already maneuver the mouse and get on the "click" stuffs. We even talked and teased, she will become a computer guru one day. ;-) *wink* But we hope so. Aright, she liked to play on the computer and phone. She ran fast as she can, just a typical smart child, being weak is not her personality and the best is she is not a cry baby. I can say because there are times she stays in our house for a while during day time, nope, I was not the one taking care but her father who is the son of my husband on the other room -- just their bonding time. She is a happy baby, I can say. I hope she can see this once she already on her own. Whoops! -- for other family members and friends too. :) Lab yah baby Danielle. Aunt Cacai and Uncle DM loves yah.. :-)

Sensitive individuals especially to those who have difficulty of carrying their steps in journeying to a sensitive places like going to a bathtub in order to do one's thing, for me, it is great to have a walk in bathtubs like below. I myself, sometimes has a difficulty of standing in our bathtub for it seems I gonna slid out of it especially when its "soapy" time. Soap adds the slide, so I have to be careful all the time.

And the time that I seen it, I uttered to myself of how I wish I could have such. ;-) Okay, am just dreaming or perhaps it's not that essential for me because I still have a lot of strength to hold on my body weight so I will not slide but still it's great to desire some stuffs.. you know.. ;-)

When it comes to buying and selling goods, either from manufacturer; trader; wholesaler; small businesses; from big to large ones --- a weighing scales, is the basic thing for it. As of today's status in the fast-progressing countries and places in its market, this stuff is necessary. And to think wholesaler uses big weighing scales and retail stores uses small ones, that is their bread and butter. And that is just the nature nowadays unlike years ago that businesses just uses their hands and mind to weigh stuffs. My late grandfather even said, they were just exchanging stuffs with no particular weighing scales. In short, there is no accurate information and a good technology. We are lucky now because we have this stuff and other high-technology stuffs, we just have to use it in a good way and take good care of it. Weighing scale is a basic thing a store have. Even some clothes now are sold per pound. And I guess you know others stuffs which scales are a must. Well, good luck on your shopping and retailing goods... as always have fun but also be sharp in looking at scales.. :-)

You can never say, women do not like to shop because as to my own opinion, women are made for it. It could be shopping for groceries, household stuffs, and other family things. It could also be needs and wants but basically it is for the needs especially if the pocket budget is just enough for the basic ones. Nowadays, most stores are into modern receipt printer or for the sake of easy and accurate print, perhaps the other stuffs to consider like ink and such (if it is economical), it is a more on a must for them or else a store is in a low pace and some things are uncoordinated because their receipt printer is not good or it is outdated. Busy days of buying like Christmas and occasions like that, need a fast transaction. And what will a cashier can do if he/she has no good receipt printer for the transaction? Is it a kind of hassle for both store and customer? What do you think?

I and my DH lives currently in an apartment and if there's a problem regarding the fixtures, we need to call the landlord first and if found out that it's our fault, then we have to shoulder the amount incurred by plumbers or any other stuffs broken that they repaired. Until this time (though it is not that so-problem now, it just have its time sometimes), our toilet have a problem of non-stop drawing waters from the toilet {Sorry this may sound absurd, gross or whatever you feel if you felt that way, but anyway it is just the word toilet and there's nothing else it may feel gross}. If only the landlord or the administration have modern toilets like Toto toilets or other cool toilets, perhaps we won't experience this way. Anyway, if the problem continues and arises that we can't handle it, we will surely call the landlord and let the plumber do the its thing. Toilets are very important so it need a good quality one. I cannot say that this isn't such a quality one but there's really a difference. We still keeps on going since it is not acting up for quiet how many days already and thanks God for that or else there's a possibility that DH will shield his bucks again. :( So then, be sure to have a quality bathroom fixtures like toilet and such. :)

An x-box 360, what year it became so famous by the way? I heard a lot of my friends and family circles about it and am somewhat like wanted it. Perhaps for my close ones or for myself but I have to see what my pocket can afford to. This is not just a cheap toy but surely, it is very cool to have one because PC gamers down from the kids to the adults, from men to women, single to married surely love it. I was told by my nephew that it is very "in" nowadays like any other "in" stuffs. :) Well, xbox 360 is really cool to have. For sure, it will entertain folks in family bonding time. I have heard that it is now only P299 which includes 120GB HD, Wireless Controller, 2 Games: PURE & LEGO: Batman and it is free shipping? How cool is that? This is surely a catch to those who are catching for a great price. Good luck PC gamers and all the gift givers.. :) Have fun.. :)
