disconnect
Will be off for a while as we move to the new place. I thought we’d have the phone and the connection up and running by next week but as it turns out our current broadband provider put in a wrong address on the new application (we decided to bundle our phone with our current adsl provider) for the phone installation so instead of this saturday the installation would be next week. So that would also mean a delay in our application for the broadband to be relocated. Anyways hope we’ll be back online by the end of next week. Happy valentine’s everyone!

I was thinking for the longest time what to get Ichi for Christmas, was initially wanting to purchase a dslr lens for him but those don’t go cheap and even with the discounts it was still way out of my budget. But I was still determined to get him an accessory for his camera. So this is what I got him, it fit my budget (what little it was from my blogging money) – The Puffer, a pop-up flash diffuser. I ordered it online from one of the local distributors here and got it the day before we went to Canberra to visit friends. Just in time to test it out. I had to make him open his present as soon as he got home from work.

Speaking of Christmas, I’m sure our families in Manila are busy preparing for Christmas eve dinners and pre-Christmas gatherings with friends. Hopefully they’re still mindful of their diets so that they won’t have to look into fenphedra or the likes to slim down after the holiday season.

With a lot of people owning digital cameras these days, it’s not surprising that flash memory cards are getting cheaper and cheaper. I saw an ad the other day for a 4GB SD card that went for less than $20. We’ve been planning to get one to add to the 2GB we already have, so that we don’t have to worry about running out of memory for pictures when we’re away for a trip. Too bad the type of memory card for my point and shoot is different for the dslr that Ichi has or else we could just share the cards.

Along with getting a car, this is one gadget that we think we really need to get around. Though having a map will suffice, we thought it better to have a GPS to make life easier. No more trying to figure out how to go from point A to point B, with just a few clicks our little friend will tell us which way to go. Hopefully, the car can be released this weekend .. am soooo looking forward to the road trips to come!
