Aircon! Aircon kayo jan….

Saturday, September 29th, 2007

Nice…tagal na naming walang aircon sa shop…halos nakalimutan ko na nga ang pakiramdam nang may aircon e. Electric fan madness kami since 2 weeks ago.

For some unknown reason, our aircon technician is having a tough time(?) fixing the damn mainboard of our Shinco-brand split type aircon. When I call for a follow-up this is what they say, "Ser pasensya na po under observation pa po e…pero malapit na matapos." That follow-up is repeated everday and its always the same line. I called again early today and this is what they said "Ser sure na po sa lunes…sobrang busy po kasi e…pasensya na po…sure na po yun!". It really makes it almost believable but I’m not buying it. I estimate the time of repair to be 1 or 2 more weeks.

Catchy ba ang "Virtual-On Internet Cafe & Spa"? Surf the net while losing weight? Free back massage? ^___^

Yey! A new PC!

Woohoo! A new personal kick-ass (for me) computer at last!

Processor: AMD Athlon64 X2 4800+ Dual Core (asteeg!!)

Mainboard: Asrock AliveNF6G-VSTA (supports upto 8GB DDR2 RAM)

Video: Inno3D 8600GT 256MB DDR2 128bit DVI (DX10 baby!)

Memory: Transcend 1GB DDR2 800

Harddrive: 160GB Hitachi SATAII (fasty fast drive)

Optical Drive: LG 18x GSA-H42/44/54N dvdrw black

I topped it off with an Astone casing (500W) sporting a panda white/black glossy finishing (just like with cars) with built-in thermal controls and a vacuum that sucks out hot air….sweet! ^___^

I had originally planned on pairing the system with an LG 19" LCD  monitor but I already had an available 15" CRT monitor at home. It’s not really practical to buy it……….for now. Hehehe…

Well that’s that! I already bought myself a copy of some high-rated games in the market today like CIV4, Colin McRae:DiRT, and Test Drive Unlimited. ^___________________________________^

Music

Monday, September 3rd, 2007

I’ve yet to encounter a person that doesn’t know what music is and how to enjoy it. Interestingly, nowadays introduction to music starts as early as when the baby is still in the womb. When the parents sings hymns or the like to the unborn child. But, I don’t know much about it except that it proves that music plays a large part in a person’s life. ^__^

So, there I was preparing to go to work one morning and I heard music from my parent’s room. It was fairly new 21st century music sporting songs from Black Eyed Peas, Simple Plan, and some various OST songs from well known series or movies so I thought maybe my younger was using the computer and playing some mp3s while browsing the web. But when I checked who was playing music so early in the morning, I saw my dad listening to the music. And I thought, "there’s something wrong with this picture". ^__^ Anyway it really surprised me and was still in mild shock even as I arrived at the shop and start the day. Thus the blog item. Hehe…wouldn’t anyone be surprised when you find your parents listening to Eminem or Snoop Dogg??? ^_________^

Well, it just proves that life can still surprise me sometimes. Maybe I’ll start listening to carpenters, beegees, and the beatles….hehehe….
