HP currently reads


when i was in the island down south of luzon, i was quite intrigued when i saw my new friend reading the latest novel of Paulo Coelho, The Winner Stands Alone that when i got back here, i decided to drop by Powerbooks to buy myself one. the kind saleslady had such an enthusiasm to give me a preview of each book the same author wrote. it's not hard to tell she's a fan. upon her suggestion, i bought this book, By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept. i was amused by the way he wrote it. the approach was quite poetic which i believe was appropriate for the subject of the novel which is love. there are a lot of lines that caught me and were my favorites that i would love to share here when i finished reading the book. i think i'm going to get hooked up with coelho. hehe.

i also wanted to mark this date because it's the birth of my new baby. im excited to know every button and every feature he has. he will be the extension of my eyes and my hands. im also excited to take him to places. the adventure will surely be more enjoyable with him around. thanks, lx3, for coming into my life even if you made me broke (arrrrgggghhhh). now i can sing the line 'im broke but im happy...' with justice. hehe.

earlier, the intensity 4ish quake shook the metro. i was in UCC then looking at the menu when it happened. i thought it was just my altered level of consciousness due to lack of sleep (blame that to gray's anatomy series) but after seeing the worried face of the girl on the next table and the commotion of the waiters, i realized what was happening. thank God the quake was not that strong and thank God i wasn't down south because i learned from the news the intensity there was 6.2. i guess i have to sleep now. can't anymore bear to keep my eyes open.

have you seen the new mac?

when i first got a mac laptop not so long ago, i was like introduced into a new lifestyle and it's an addictive one. mac offers a new way of life and a better one. in mac world, it's virus free, battery life is longer, and it's more user friendly (o-oh hope i wont get a raised eyebrow for that. but it truly is more user friendly to me having used microsoft for so long and had it crash over and over on me while im in the middle of a deadline and an upcoming report. hayrettt!). plus the white exterior looks chic. that comes from someone who adores the absence of hues (aside from pink).

now, they have officially launched a new tablet, the iPad. it's adorable and it's not that pricey considering it is a mac (price starts at 499USD). i dont know if i will buy one (but if someone's gonna give me one for free i would gladly accept it heehee). i think i will wait until i have seen the reviews when it comes out in april. but just this instant, i have my comments/questions regarding this new gadget.

1. my essentials:

bluetooth? check
usb and card reader? check (is that via dock connector?)
battery life? 10h --check
dvd/cd player? nun hmmmmm.....
web cam? nun hmmmmmm.....
light weight? check (1.5lbs wifi, 1.6lbs wifi+3g model)


2. i dont know if the touch screen is long nails- friendly. is it scratch proof? well i don't grow my nails long because i'm afraid to scratch frail bodies accidentally with it. but i would just like to know that so ill know who i won't let to borrow it hehe (just in case im going to have one).

3. i so heart the iBook app. i can imagine reading my multi-volume books with this thing so light. plus, it lets me carry a whole library with me without breaking my back and damaging my bag (dies). i can carry a chic bag at any coffee shop or around the hosp and still have all the books within my reach. i can also read while listening to itunes or while searching for a journal in the net. a lot of possibilities there. also, it looks eye- friendly coz it's bigger than the ipod touch hence it can display bigger fonts.

hmmm... now have to make magic so i can have moolah to buy this. ugh. that reminds me im still saving up for a micro four thirds. hayay. i so wish im rich.


hello, iPad!
