Blogging Blues..

I am now blogging thru an ipad app. I have to admit I am still taking baby steps in maximizing its features. Even typing alone using a touch pad is already a burden for me as I was used to having my 10 fingers (not 2, mind you) comfortably tapping on a standard keyboard.

Also, nowadays, I rarely insert images in my posts. The office internet no longer allows it. And I still don't know how to save and edit pictures thru an ipad. Waaah!

Somebody help me, please...

Apple vs Samsung

Just few days ago, Apple was awarded with $1.05B in damages from an infringement suit against Samsung on intellectual property issues over multiple devices.

While I favor various moves to bring down prices of gadgets thru free enterprise, I still believe it is not justifiable enough to illegally copy one's ideas, that is, if it is proven to be true. :(

USB

Just last month, my kitchen faucet broke off which prompted me to take a leave from the office and run to Ace Hardware. Since I also wanted to replace my other kitchen faucet, I decided to buy two faucets at a time. :(

Few days ago, I already knew about the promo offered by Ace Hardware for a free USB with a minimum purchase of P3500. Hence, when I found out that my purchases has accumulated to only P3k, I went back to the shelves and looked for something to spend on just to qualify for a free USB. Alas, after 30 minutes of what I thought to be as an endless searching, I finally settled for two food containers.

When it was my turn to redeem the USB, the kikay in me chose the one with a bulky hammer design over that of a simply slim screw driver. In the advent of terabyte memory gadgets, I was still happy going home with a 4GB stuff in my bag as I know it could keep at least 6 movies that I long to watch about. ;)

Dealing With My Ipad..

After a year of having an ipad, it's only now that I get to enjoy it. Thanks to my recently-subscribed internet connection and recently-bought router, I am now exploring its features as if there's no tomorrow.

But then, embarrassingly ignorant as I obviously am, my exploration is limited yet to downloading free apps e.g., magazines and games. I have yet to discover where to find and how to download free movies, as well as, save my pdf files and pictures, etc.

As a preppy of this gadget, I still have a long way to go. I just hope my impatience won't get in my way towards my journey to learning the intricacies of technology. ;)

Not Another Ondoy Again...

An officemate just texted that work is again suspended, for second consecutive day.  I was ecstatic!  That would mean, I will wake up late again tomorrow morning.  That would mean also that I would just snuggle in bed with hubby while watching a number of movies all day through.

But then, just thinking of the plight of our fellowmen who are now suffering from the ravages of this so-called natural phenomenon, I felt a rash of guilt.  It was selfish of me to think only of myself in the midst of this crisis.  In fact, at 3 o'clock this morning, I witnessed my neighbors who kept on vigil at the possibility of floodwaters seeping through their units.

I felt so helpless.  For now, what I can only do is to offer prayers for the safety of everyone..
