21 Mar

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.

Expanding My Ebook Library with Stanza

2 Mar

Stanza

Stanza

I have Stanza on my iPod Touch and for the past few days, I have been expanding my Stanza library. And this experience of building, organizing, and accessing a growing electronic book library is pure bliss for a quasi-bibliophile like me.

For those who haven’t heard about this wonderful, wonderful application for the iPhone/iPod Touch, Stanza is a revolutionary ebook reader that allows users to customize font sizes and colors, background colors, hyphenation, page orientation, line spacing, justification, and even page turn effects. Customizing Stanza for a hassle-free eading experience is so easy, imagine changing your reader’s settings by simply tapping the Settings icon. I have tried experimenting with different fonts, font sizes, and font and background colors and it was fun.

Hana Yori Dango Manga on my iPod Touch

21 Feb

I have a copy of the first two volumes of the Hana Yori Dango manga because its strong cult following really heightened my curiosity. I am not really into this manga thing so after downloading it, I didn’t really know what to do with it.

And then I decided that I didn’t really want to read comics on my laptop so I uninstalled the manga reader altogether (might have changed my mind if it’s a netbook I had).

My Nikon Coolpix P50

21 Dec

I am now a proud owner of a Nikon Coolpix P50! Lyle gifted me with an 8.1MP, 3.6X Optical Zoom Nikon Coolpix P50 for Christmas.

After spending a lot of time of researching on the best value-for-money point and shoot for a newbie like me, it was a tough battle between Kodak Easyshare C813 and Nikon Coolpix P50. Eventually the Nikon P50 won him over. He then brought me to Funtronics (at 3/F Gaisano Mall) so I can see the camera first before buying it.
