I’m indecisive to get iTouch or iPhone. Both have advantages and disadvantages. I have no problem with iphone warranty or the quality of both products. One of the factor I don’t like with iPhone is paying additional $30 for the data service.

Data service includes text messages and unlimited internet browsing. The cost of downloading software or extra minutes are not included yet. So doing the math of $30 a month will end up to $360 a year.. Money I’m not willing to spend on top of our phone line for that kind of services. Hahahah I’m really cheap.. no maybe just being practical ;) On the other side, iTouch is so good.. but then no phone function. Haaaay! I’ll just wait till iPhone will be offered to our service provider. Maybe the data service will cost cheaper by that time.

One of my friend is getting married few months from now. I can’t wait to see the slideshow they will show that includes photo from their childhood and years they’ve been together. :D

This is something I haven’t done for a while, creating a slideshow for my kids so they can watch it on TV. Hope I have more time to do these things. I know that I will not have time unless I really put it on my schedule and follow it. ;( Very hard! Because I have other things I need to prioritize other than their slideshow. :(

For some who doesn’t know, I work for the state of California. That explains why I have furlough Friday. ;) Having furloughs has good and bad effect. Big bad effect is the decreased in our monthly salary..imagine cutting off 13.85% from your pay. But the good thing about the furlough is spending more time with my family. My furlough Friday is the time to go for doctors appointment, shopping, park hopping and do some stuff for myself :D

Today my to do things includes:

- Mom’s routine blood work

- Check out epson receipt printer on the outlet

- Return books to the library

- Swimming for the kids

- Mee time on the gym

A friend is getting married in September and I love all the wedding accessories that she will wear on that special occasion. ;) A bride truly deserves to have a special or exclusive piece of jewelry that will be only worn on that special day. I’m looking forward for the more weddings I will attend in the future.. No I’m not hurrying my kids to get married but for kids of my friends who mostly are teens now. And also my mom’s wedding, incase she decided and find someone she wants to be with again.. hehhe ;)

We are undecided if we should get a wii or ps3 game console. Sometimes we said that a game console is not really helpful for the kids.. but we also think that they should have at least know or tried to play it and we just need to impose control when they can only play. And that’s the reason why we haven’t bought any game console for the kids. I’m glad too that they my eldest is not asking either.. well except that she wants a pink Nintendo DSi. Oh well, this game console is not our priority list, so it will go back, back, back, on the very far behind of the burner. lol

But look at this pink DSi, tempting mom to please her unica hija :D

The new most advance Nokia phone from TMobile is finally out, the Nokia 5230 aka as Nuron! I checked out my cart for a phone upgrade yesterday, this will be for my mom. I’m still not decided what phone should I get to replace my old Nokia 6682. I don’t want a $30/month data plan that goes with some of the smartphone and I’m still considering another Nokia phone. Few things I need to buy for my mom’s new phone – extra micro sd card, film/plastic cover, and a small pouch or case to hold it.

This what Nokia Nuron looks like from the website:

I am happy that my husband is not into motorcycles.. I’m scared that you can easily die when you involved in motorcycle accident.  You definitely need to consult a motorcycle accident lawyer to fight for your interest if that happened.  Your family needs to do that for you, this is something I don’t want to happen in the future.. to deal with broken heart, because someone you love died,  and deal the pain of finances at the same time. So motorcycles are really not for us.. just too much risk to take.

Another fun thing that keeps me busy lately. lol My Farmville! :) This is very addicting!

My husband is fond of watching History Channel and I never learned to appreciate in until today. :D The episode is about processing of sugar. I found out that sugar could be from sugarcane or sugar beet. Sugarcane can only be planted thru a clone and not from seeds. I also found out that sugar beet is a root crops that eating the root crops by itself is not ideal. See, I’m learning a lot of things from this channel. lol I also watch the history or how balloons are created. I spent hours watching tv today instead of helping my sister to find deals of Free People clothes. Just another Saturday wasted. Actually, we are all not feeling well today. I have sore throat and I feel like I have fever inside my body. I’m trying to get more rest now.

I’m looking for cheap Sony VAIO for my brother. He previously owned the earlier model and he wants the same brand but upgraded specs of course. I was looking at the prices and it is higher than Dell computers. He can get what he wants but he has to pay me back because it’s really expensive. I hope I can find a cheaper one so he does not need to reimburse me. lol Sony computer specs is really comparable to Dell computers and you can get it cheaper.
