Blogging Frenzy

I just love my notebook planner and my desktop planner!  Because I took time to buy both last year, I am now able to keep track of my activities, appointments, tasks, errands, and even my expenses.

I scanned the entries in my planners earlier and I was all smiles because I was reminded of all the things I did in the past 20 days- the movies I watched, the places I’ve been to, the books I read, and even my mood when I wrote the entries.  It’s like reliving the experiences all over again.

Update as of January 10, 2009: I think that I wasted Php3590 on the Torque DL85.  The phone won’t let me make calls using my Sun Cellular line even if I have loads of credit left.  And this is on top of the problems I have experienced with the Torque DL85 as mentioned below.

Like most of you, I have a number of gadgets that I can’t live without.  So whenever I leave the house, these gadgets are in my bag:  a netbook, a point-and-shoot camera, an iPod Touch, and two Nokia mobile phones.

My Nokia mobile phones have served me well but bringing both with me whenever I go out can be quite troublesome.  So I decided to get myself an inexpensive dual-sim phone when the time came that I really NEED to buy one.

My best buy for 2009

The year is almost over so I decided to devote another blog post to what I consider my best buy for 2009.  Last year, it was the  iPod Touch but for this year, the Wise Buy Award goes to my netbook, the HP 2140.

I bought the HP 2140 last April and I have been enjoying it immensely.  Of course, despite my fascination with it and netbooks in general, I am still able to objectively point out what I think needs improvement.  I may be a netbook aficionado (ahem!) but I am not blinded by this netbook love.

Plurking with the HP 2140

If I were Korean and the HP 2140 is my boyfriend, then last July 29 would’ve been our baek-il or our 100 days of being together.

I bought the HP 2140 last April 20, 2009 and now, more than  100 days of using it, I feel that I need to blog about it from a non-techie user’s point of view.

As a  birthday gift, Lyle gave me an orange Timex IRONMAN Triathlon Sleek 50-Lap wristwatch. It is my second Timex watch, the first one a   Timex Reef Gear in stainless steel I bought in 2006.

The Timex IRONMAN Triathlon Sleek 50-lap is designed for the weekend warrior who enjoys sports and outdoorsy activities.  Not that I have an active lifestyle but I have plans of going to the gym so Timex IRONMAN Triathlon will be put to good use.
