Buying a Laptop

Buying a laptop is a big step for me because I am used to using my father’s laptop for a long time and I have never considered actually buying one for myself. All things come to an end and so last month I have decided to treat myself and buy my own laptop.

When I finally came to decide that I will be buying a laptop, there were considerations that I have to cover. First is the budget. No matter how you want to buy a high end gadget, you have to stick to the budget. As they say, less is more. Secondly, reflect on the performance. You have to consider things like, what will be my laptop for? Will it be for office works or for my hobbies? Will it be for storing photos and music or for gaming? So no matter what you want, you have to analyze yourself what you are going to do with your toy-to-be. Lastly, scout for the deals! Look on the sale and discounts, aim for some freebies if you can and start playing with your imagination.

Recently, I bought myself a Samsung R428 because it’s on a big sale. My friend from Qatar bought it for me because that’s where the sale was. Purchasing gadgets online has always been a no no for me because of experiences the other friends of mine had. Some packages were lost by the courier, if not stolen. I will be giving my review on this gadget soon as I will still be playing with it.

Let The Holidays Begin!

I know I am 9 days late but it's better late than never. Happy December to you my dear Reader!

A lot of parties are coming my way! Four days ago was my niece's 5th Birthday and today is my nephew's 1st Birthday so we will be celebrating lots of food as usual. See, most of our relatives are born on December and that explains the numerous parties, not to mention the Christmas parties, that we celebrate during this time of year. At home, there are 4 December celebrants alone so it's a month long feast.

However, no matter how busy I am this coming holidays I will surely have time to blog. And hopefully, digiscrap too.

December Rain

I cannot believe that it will already be December next week! I have always loved December because this is the time when we get to be with our loved ones and eat, drink and be merry. My December schedule is actually almost fully booked as most of the people in our household will celebrate their birthdays on December. And there will be other more extras this year too!

First, a relative of ours who we haven't seen for more than 30 years will be coming home next week. And then we will be celebrating one birthday after the other when they arrive. The first birthday on the list is my niece's Shobe who will be turning 5 years old on December 5. We are going to celebrate the event at a restaurant and the princess themed birthday party are still on the works.
But even though there will be tons of celebrations, I have to pass up for some so that I could make room for the others. For instance, I will not be able to join our faculty's annual out of town tour because I am saving up for something nice as a gift to myself of course. And then I have to plan my twins' 4th birthday party and my dad's retirement party as well, not to mentions the actual Christmas Eve dinner and New Year celebration.

This month is hectic! Goodluck to all of us especially now that the weather forecasters in the Philippines are predicting a rainy month of December.

And oh, Advance Happy Thanksgiving too!

The Gay Bar Experience

As I have mentioned in my previous post, we went to a gay bar the other night. It was not my first time to enter a club like that actually, the first one was during our cousin’s so-called bridal shower and I was with our aunts that time. The first experience was fun because we entered a hip club and the atmosphere did not feel any degrading.

However, during my second time to enter such type of club, the ambiance was different. I could literally smell poverty and I felt that the people working there have no other choice but embrace that type of job to make a living. There the guys are allowed to sit in the table of the so called spectators and when one “performer” joined our table (fully clothed, fortunately) we were so apprehensive to entertain him back because honestly, we felt disgusted by them. But a compassionate friend of ours exchanged conversations with the guy and I listened to them. At first I did not know what their topic was but then I heard the guy say in a Visayan dialect “I know that this is a sin, selling my own flesh, but I do not have a choice. There’s no other job for me out there.” Right there and then I felt a pang of pity and sympathy. I also felt a tug in my heart when the guy whispered to me to buy him a drink so that he will have certain income for the night.

I don’t care if you call me gullible or naïve because I know that in that line of work, those guys have to make up stories to make people feel sorry for them and give them money. But you know what, no matter what lies they tell us, the truth is there. They either spill some lies or they give pleasure and lie down on the bed (pun intended). But the bottom line is: they are merely begging for money because they have no other options to earn money.

It’s a fun night but the mark it left me was a scar in my heart.

Back Home!

I am back home!

The other night was so fun because the girls and I went to a gay bar, how fun is that? Of course we did not go there to fish for men although it was I who initiated the itinerary because the girls I was with never went to a gay bar before so I thought it would be fun to bring them there. When I told the elders about my plan, they were ecstatic and gave us cash allowance for the night. My cousin even drove us there to show his support to our crazy night. Initially, I had asked an uncle to drive us to the place but since his car was taken to the shop because of a broken timing belt, my cousin volunteered to do the job of driving us to the bar. I will relate the "gay bar experience" on my next post because I sure do have s many insights and reflections about it.

Anyway, so we arrived home last night. I hitched the ride home in my other cousin’s ford expedition that was almost filled with mud because we decided to drop by a piggery on the farm to pick the pigs that we would want to be roasted on Christmas Day. The other folks are arriving tomorrow because they had to wait until the water pump of my uncle’s starex van is replaced. I know, I know that most of my relatives’ vehicles are under repair – we travel a lot and that is normal. I will have to end my post now and continue my story next time because I sure do have to take my lunch *teehee*
