Mobility Reliability

Amidst the booming market of tablet computers, I still want to get myself a good portable computer. One might argue that tablets have features that laptops does not have but the same applies vice versa – Photoshop and MMORPGs to name a few. So I plan of scouting for hp netbooks similar devices in the market. Hopefully, a good gadget sale will happen in the near future and I can finally own something I have long wanted ever since I saw the movie Hackers.

What brand of laptop do you own? Would you recommend it to a friend? Share some pros and cons.

Striking A Yoga Pose

When 2012 arrived, I promised myself that I will do my very best in order to be more physically fit. The first thing that I know I got to do is to bring my weight down to a running-friendly number. I have grown a few pounds lately and I know that if I try to run, I will definitely hurt my knees in the process.

Sadly, my efforts to shed those weights were futile. It seems like simply reducing my food intake is not enough. So last Saturday I decided to shop for yoga mats. I think yoga might do the trick in achieving my desired weight before doing jogging. Crossing my fingers thats this plan will actually work.

Step Out and See Places

It is important that a person engages himself with one or two physical activities regularly especially to those who spent most of their working hours sitting in front of a computer in an air conditioned office. Walking is a cost effective activity that requires very few “devices”. The most important thing you need here is a comfortable shoe and your good to go.

For those who have a few dollars to spend, biking is another possible activity that takes you places. Step down from stationary bikes and see places on your very own bike. If you have an suv bike rack, you could even go to another state then hop on to your bike and do some exploration.

The world is a big place that is truly worth seeing.

Mild Shock

A seven year old nephew of a friend recently got mildly electrocuted. The kid had this habit of plugging in any devices from Portable Play Station to mobile cellphones. Apparently, when he plugged in the device, he accidentally touched the terminal of the plug. Luckily, it was just a mild shocked but enough to send out the lesson never to play with electric outlets.

In order to avoid similar incidence, it is best that electric outlets have a plastic switch plate covers especially those not frequently used and are reachable to small children. This will prevent electrocution, mild or severe, and other electrical related incidents.

Free Flowing

Living in a city where the water supply has a schedule may have it’s own perk – water is conserved better as compared with a free flowing faucet. However, the latter may something everyone desires. For one, it is more convenient. You no longer need to have containers to fill your reserve and dish washing is a whole lot easier with a running water.

If such privilege is not available, one could always rely on good gusher pump to bring in that flow of water. Choosing the type that fits your need will be advantageous in saving energy and water.

Cigar Is Power

There is a certain class in smoking a cigar. Not a cigarette but a good old cigar. It evokes authority and power, class and might. I’m not just sure if such feeling is universal or I’m just used to seeing the former president of the Philippines always carrying a stick.

I am definitely clueless on the “art” of cigar smoking and have no idea on the leading brands in the market. Though, I’m willing to explore the options starting with Cohiba. The important thing here is that you do not lose yourself in the exploration. Class as it may seems, smoking is definitely dangerous to your health.

Garden Therapy

One of the things mom would love to have in our residence is a spacious garden. She loves plants and would definitely be a lot joyful if she could grow tall trees in the yards aside from planting in pots. I miss the days when tall trees are not that hard to find. You could enjoy a lazy afternoon under it’s shade watching people passing by.

Having garden bridges seems to be a cool idea too. I would love to have a good number of koi fish swimming in the water running under it. I would definitely want a lawn where I could walk bare foot late in the afternoon.

Ah.. the joy of having a spacious garden.

Sun Protect

The sun can be a little harsh these days even without directly looking at them. If you are constantly out in the street when the sun is at its peek, may I suggest that you make it a point to wear Native Sunglasses. You may reason out that you are not used to wearing one but give your eyes a favor… wear one. Also, protect your skin by wearing a sunblock and walk under a shade whenever you could. A sun burn may be tolerable but a skin cancer is not.

Emotional Assistance for Calamity Victims

Our world is experiencing so much natural disaster these days ranging from heat waves to flash floods. In Cagayan De Oro City, one victim of the recent flash flood even committed suicide and several others are in a state of depression. Indeed, losing almost everything in one snap is too much for anyone to handle.

It is only right for the government to seek depression rehab treatment centers to assist such victims in recovering. It is hard to start life alone. A good support system will definitely be of great help to stand on both feet again.

Dreaming of Aurora

One of the things included in my bucket list is to see an aurora. I’m just not quite sure whether thing might even be possible considering that it’s occurrence cannot be exactly pinpointed and that it can be seen on countries quite far from mine.

But one can’t simply give up one’s dream. I’m hoping that one day I’ll have that chance without me exactly spending for the trip. Until that day, this will remain in my bucket list.
