Playing online billiards is fun

I have always loved the game of billiards. And honestly speaking, I am a fanatic of the world-renowned game. Now that we’re in the new era of gaming, playing online billiard is just a simple click away. Just recently I came upon a website that allows gamers to compete with other players online. Billiard Magic offers a range of 3-D ball games such as 9 balls, 8 balls to online snooker. Their user-friendly and well designed site not only allows you to browse over some interesting games, but you can also even play pool tournaments with other foreign players. What could be more interesting than that?

Wishful thinking -- Dell XPS M1330

Thursday, February 07, 2008

This post is entirely attributed to all my personal and material longings in life. Nah, maybe not! But still it is... Anyway, I was thinking a while ago on what to buy on my birthday as a present, of course, for myself. What if I bought a brand new car for my birthday? Mmmm too expensive. Or maybe buy a Nokia Xpress Music phone? It's already on my wish list so I'd still probably buy it one of these days. Ting! I knew it what I need for my birthday is a new laptop just like this -- a Dell XPS M1330 laptop or rather a refurbished macbook air would also be perfect. Wowowee! This is probably it, I can already feel it in my senses. Imagine me using this kind of cool gadget and bringing it with me in the office. Oh yeah! All desktop users please proceed to the laptop department and buy yourself a laptop. Lol I was just joking about that, I might offend my friends who are into the desktop frenzy. Enough about that and back to the main topic, which is buying me mucho eh laptop si senior. But how on earth can I afford such stuff? It'd probably cost around $1,300-2000 bucks. Cool! A gift for myself on my 50th birthday, yeah I'd wait for another 25 years for that gadget to be obsolete and affordable in the market, until I can buy it for myself.


The end is near!

Experience the thrill

The best casinos in the world are found in Las Vegas; that’s a fact. But what if I am interested in gambling, but do not have the luxury of time flying into other countries just to play casino? Do you know what I do to experience the same thrill of playing casino just like in Vegas? Yeah I think you’ve already guessed it, I play online casino. Because of the hectic time I have with my job and my personal life, I can no longer spend extra time to indulge on the things I want to do. So to spare me from wanting, I sit in front of my computer and gamble online. It is indeed a stress relief if you enjoy what you like to do best. With an online casino review site, I will no longer have to choose what casinos are best when you play online because they list mostly all high-rated casinos there is on the web. Looks like I’m going for another slot game during my break time. Catch you later.

Home Sweet Home (with warranty)

Saturday, February 02, 2008

Buying a home is like a dream come true. There’s nothing more special than having your own perfect place where you and you family can call your own. It’s definitely a goal, which one can achieve despite all the hard work. More and more people nowadays are considering home warranties. It’s one way of insuring homeowners that they are covered from expected costs of major repairs and appliance breakdowns. It is definitely renewable and cost effective so there’s no more hassle in re-applying the warranty of your homes. American Home Shield is one of those companies dealing with home warranty service. As a trusted home warranty company, they have already served quite a number of homeowners in the United States. So if you’re planning to purchase a new home and you want your house to be insured, why don’t you try to give them and call and see if their services fit your dire housing warranty needs.

Itsy Bitsy Ratty Business

My girlfriend’s mom was complaining about the rat problem they have in their house. The rats are having the time of their lives ravaging all the things they find around the house; devouring every little piece they could put their mouths into. Even the house’s electrical wirings were bitten which caused a whole day blackout. Those pests were really causing a lot of trouble already and they can’t be stopped. It’s very alarming what these pests are capable of doing. Just last month, I had to repair their home stereo because those unforgiving rodents ate the components wirings leaving only the copper wires. I personally advised her mother to seek the assistance of a pest control expert since they are able to handle these kinds of situations. While surfing the net for some late minute pest control research, I found my way into this pest control service site named Terminix. They actually help homes and businesses through their integrated pest management services. I’d probably recommend this to my soon-to-be mother in law. And I hope their pest problem would soon be solved.

I want this -- Nokia 5310 Xpress

Photobucket

I wanted to buy a new cell phone. So I searched for it on the net of course, since it’s more reliable if you’re seeking for the phone’s specifications. While surfing for new releases of Nokia, my eyes suddenly couldn’t resist not looking at this particular phone. Before it was a Jansport Elefunk bag that I want, but now I’m craving to have this phone, a Nokia 5310 Xpress. Although I’m not particularly into “what’s latest” or the “IN” thing, but I definitely follow my own needs and wants. So there it is a new phone for my not-so-luxurious lifestyle. Its actually very convenient cause it’s slim and very handy, not like my Nokia Engage phone, which is quite very bulky.

Please Santa, can I have this phone like a month from now? I know it's still early to ask for Xmas presents but I really really wanted to have this phone. Can you please make its price lower in the next month so I can afford to buy one? Lol

For those of you who are interested in buying this phone here are some of its specifications:

My dad and his gardening frenzy

Just this morning I saw my father working in our garden. He usually does his daily routine of taking care of his precious plants; cutting all the weeds that grew around the garden, rearranging the plants and of course watering them. His day would never be complete without his daily morning rituals and he does it day by day for the whole week. My father is really interested in gardening and I bet if he’d be working in a landscape and lawn service company such as Tru Green, he’d probably be one of the best. But as far as I know, gardening and landscaping is just part of his past time so I would never even think if he’d be interested in such a company anyway. Last week he bought a bunch of ornamental plants, I don’t know why he bought them but I definitely think that he wants to redesign his garden and add more to his plant collections. I bet next week he’ll be redesigning again and I don’t know what he’ll do next. Buy a lawnmower? Maybe?

Better care for your loved ones

When we reach the peak of our adulthood, our body gets tired and weary. It’s like an engine or a machine that breaks down as time passes by. Usually, we see our grandparents live most of their old aged lives and that’s what happens when we ourselves, in the right period of time, will also live our fruitful existence. I’ve come to think of it, what will I be 50 years from now? Though I’m worried a bit that I might end up being alone, but if that is my destiny, then so be it.

I would probably prefer being in nursing homes rather than die alone and left out in the world. Good thing there exists today some facilities that cater to old aged people. So if you have a loved one who needs proper attention and care, they have already found the place where they will fit in along with other old aged folks, who also need the care of certified and devoted caregivers. If you’re doubtful about the services they offer then try visiting this website about care homes. Bettercaring.com is a resource guide for those people seeking the right care and attention for their old aged parents, relatives or themselves. Choosing the right care and attention would then be very easy since they are dedicated to provide you with all options needed to definitely have the service that you and your loved one’s will deserve. So if you love your family, you should not hesitate to give them the best possible care solution there is available.

Itinerary for my future travel

Saturday, January 19, 2008

If I were to go on a vacation, I would probably choose to go to Barcelona. With its historical and magnificent attractions, busy central streets, and frequently visited and oldest beaches such as the Sant Sebastià and Barceloneta; Barcelona is on my top list of places that I would like to visit when I go abroad.

When it comes to accommodation, the second largest city of Spain offers the finest suites and amenities for travelers and tourists alike. As for my future itinerary, the first trip would be to walk down the streets of Las Ramblas and stay at one of the Barcelona Hotels. On the second day of my visit, I would probably visit the Picasso Museum, walk up and down Passeig de Gràcia, and take a ride on the bus and stroll around the area. As for my third day, I would probably try spending one night in one of the cheap Ramblas Hotels in Las Ramblas area.


It would also be nice if I learn a bit of Spanish so that I can talk to some local people in Barcelona. So if I would ask somebody about Barcelona Hoteles, they would surely understand me. And for my last day in the second largest city of Spain, I’d love to go on a day trip in Montserrat by train, yeah, that would be very interesting. And before I would leave one of the Barcelona Hotels I have checked-in to, I would really appreciate it if I’d be given a discount for the duration of my stay in their lovely city. (Winks)

Beware of fake Nokia handsets

Friday, January 18, 2008

I recently read an article from the Inquirer which actually warns consumers from buying fake handsets sold locally.

Here's the rest of the article, read it and be wary:

MANILA, Philippines -- Mobile phone company Nokia Philippines is warning consumers about the proliferation of fake Nokia devices being sold in the local market.

A team from the Asia Pacific region is now coordinating with local enforcement agencies to conduct an investigation on the sale of these fake products, which is likely violating the company’s brand, said Nikka Singson-Abes, corporate communications manager of Nokia Philippines Inc., in an interview.

Singson-Abes said Nokia Philippines has received reports from its Nokia centers that have been receiving fake products from customers wanting to have the units serviced.

“We’re also trying to verify reports about those being sold in popular malls and in the provinces,” she said.

The Nokia Philippines executive said the latest Nokia phone models like Nokia Xpress Music Nokia N81, Nokia 5310, Nokia N95, Nokia N82, Nokia 6120, were being sold at half or a third of the original price, which is an indicator that the unit might be fake.

“They’re branded Nokia and sometimes even the packaging is made to look like the real thing. I am told the phones are lighter in weight than the original. Some are being brought to the Nokia Care Centers for repair and because they are fake, they are turned down,” she said in an e-mailed advisory.

Asked how serious the problem has turned into, Singson-Abes said this development has already prompted the local office to warn consumers.

China cloned Nokia N94 phone

Posted here are some ways which are helpful in choosing and differentiating fake handsets from the original ones.
a.) Price of a fake Nokia is almost half or one-third of its original counterpart.
b.) Abnormally lightweight phones can be fake, so beware, for humans light weights are in but not for phones.
c.) Fake mobile don’t have the blue colored 12-month warranty sticker. If the phone has the sticker then use the other ways to identify fakes.
d.) Unavailability of or poorly printed Nokia Care tamper proof warranty stickers are sign of a fake Nokia mobile handset.
e.) Genuine Nokia phones have a tamper-proof label at the back and they also have tamper-proof warranty seal.
f.) Original Nokia phone have batteries with hologram showing Nokia “Connecting people” logo and “Original Enhancements” written on them. If you slant the hologram left, right, down, and up you will see 1,2,3 and 4 dots on each side.

A gift for my mom on her birthday

My mom is the best! I never saw her get tired of doing all the household chores. Even though she’s just a simple and plain housewife, she has the best career in taking care of our family. One day, I saw my mom sweeping off dog hairs and dust from our floor, then I thought for a second and asked myself -- what if I buy my mom an electrolux vacuum cleaner on her birthday? That would definitely help her a lot at home and relieve her of all that stressful sweeping and dusting work. She could benefit from it since she does the entire spic and span job at home.

I would definitely buy an electrolux vacuum cleaner since it is very affordable, easy-to-use, light weight, and durable in the sense that it could last a long time. It is also highly recommended to all consumers and it has positive ratings when it comes to its durability and portability. It would be the best gift ever; my mom would never even worry if our pet dog leaves his hairs in every corner of the house cause my mom can just turn on the electrolux vacuum cleaner's button and voila cleaning is as easy as 123.

Running my own business with Ashop Commerce

A week ago, I have already started my own personal business. It’s not much of an online business actually, but I think it would probably earn as far as I’m concern. I have been designing t-shirts and stickers for bloggers. It’s like promoting what I like to do through personally designed shirts and stickers. So right now when customers will start inquiring and buying my products, I really have to acquire an e-commerce software for all my business transactions. Good thing I learned about Ashop Commerce, their useful shopping cart software helps a lot in dealing with online transactions for product or merchandise purchasing. With its easy-to-use features, customers would probably have no difficulty in transacting using only their credit cards for purchasing. Many American merchants have already used this product and are satisfied with how their business is going. So maybe I would also benefit from their offer; why don’t I give it a try and see how their product goes.
