Wishlist: DSLR Camera

This is my entry to the Week 23 of Techie She Weekly Giveaways. This week’s lucky blogger will win $10 Paypal credits from Borris of Snapshots as They Happen.

A snapshot of myself holding my sissy’s camy… I’m dieing to have my own DSLR camera. But it’s not my priority. Anyway I can borrow my sissy’s camy.

Actually I paid part of the cost of the camera as my gift for her on her birthday. I wanted to really pay the whole price but my savings were not enough and she was too eager to buy one…

We purchased it last boxing week, so we got it in a very good deal with two lenses and flash as package.

I am now starting saving for my own… I’m thinking of Nikon but I can’t decide yet. Gadgets are upgraded from time to time so my decision will vary when I have enough savings and depends on model and brand that are really of good quality.

Facebook Timeline

Facebook Timeline is not new to FB users. I bet some of you are using it when it was first introduced. But as I can see not all loves it. Most of my friends are still in its old profile FB page. And I’m not using it either in my personal FB account. However I tried it in my other account which I used for connecting bloggers.

What I love with timeline is ONLY the header, the rest seems not appealing to me. Especially the side by side update which is confusing and looks overcrowded.

As the king of social networking sites, we are left with no choice when they will mandatorily replace our profile with the FB Timeline as circulating in the web. Perhaps eventually we’ll learn to love it.

Puto

It tastes like heaven when you taste a food that you are longing for a long time. Thanks to my future BIL who cooked puto for us. Pinoy foods are still the best!

Malware Attacked (Files Indexation Process Failed)

I was browsing different sites yesterday about polymer clay projects. Suddenly my laptop crashed; a message pop-upped that no matter how I click the “x” button it won’t go. So I decided to shutdown it forcefully.

But when I turned it on I got notifications that my hard disk was crashed. Their are many cascaded messages that appears and the start menu was empty. It says that Files Indexation Process Failed and it recommends to run file checker. It appears real and so I followed the instruction. But everytime I tried to fix the error it will lead me to a site that ask me to purchase something. Which I didn’t take the risk since I know there are lots of frauds in the internet.

I’m worried ‘coz my laptop is new and I don’t want to spend for repair for the PC. So I did research and found out that it’s a false message and my laptop was attacked by a malicious malware.

There are many ways to fix the problem but some requires you to purchase a software. But there is a way to fix it that even a non IT expert can fix and you don’t need to purchase anything.

If ever you’re PC is attack by this kind of malware check this Anti-Spyware/Malware & Hijacker Tools from Mcafee.com.

I’m not paid to link this site. I just found this site [worth linking] very helpful ‘coz it works with my laptop.

Confuse with Page Ranking

My other blogger blog, Life Ascending, has been long neglected since I migrated into a self-hosted blog. I cannot delete it because of some paid posts that I made. It would be unfair to the advertiser if I will remove it.

Surprisingly, the page rank remains 1. That somehow I am tempted to update it. But I opt not to because it would be like having two blogs with “lifeascending” in the URL and discussing same topic into different sites.

I cannot understand how Mr. Google ranks sites. This site is more updated but the rank remains zero. When it comes to linking, I’ve got more link exchange here than the other blogger blog. Perhaps I’ll visit sites in my blogroll and check if they really do exchange link with me. This is a big issue that some bloggers do ask for exchange link but they don’t actually link back or some change domain that’s why link are no longer working.

Anyway, I’ll search and study about how Google page rank. Maybe there are still factors that I need to check to improve this site ranking.

Enjoying the Beauty of the Sky

It’s January, yet it feels like spring according to my sister. They said it’s very unusual; the temperature should be on –20 to –25 by this time.

Last Christmas in fact was not a white one which I am expecting. Honestly, I’m lovin it given that I came from tropical country. I’m just concern what would be the effect of this condition to our nature.

According to my sister during winter time the sky looks gloomy but the picture below which I took last Thursday is the exact opposite – a very colourful and lovely scenery.

Tatay’s 72nd Birthday and Hello 2012!

I am so thankful that God gave my father another year to celebrate life. Today is his 72^nd birthday. I and my sissy were not there to celebrate his birthday but he’s always in our hearts.

Happy birthday Tatay!

I love you...

 

By the way, it’s new year! I’m praying that this will be another prosperous year for all of us.

Christmas 2011: Missing My Family

Christmas 2011 - no stress.... no gifts to wrap... no panic buying.... no foods to prepare.... no kids screaming – all I can hear is the clock ticking in my room….

Christmas is a big celebration in our family. We do celebrate it by attending a mass on the evening of the 24^th of December then party at house over night. We don’t sleep until the dawn breaks; even the kids. We do partying all night. Then we’ll have late breakfast at my sister’s house.

But prior to that is the huge preparation. Last minute shopping, gift wrapping, preparing prizes for the games, set up for the house, balloons, preparing foods, pleading my stubborn nieces and nephews to prepare a dance number, etc.... So much noise and sometimes it stress me out! But I’m totally happy with it.

This year would be a different Christmas; I’m spending it with my sissy and some friends. I can’t feel its Christmas! My heart is crying and screaming – ‘how I wish I’m home. I miss the stressful Christmas; I miss the loud noise, the crying and laughing around our home, I miss my family.’

Perhaps looking at this old photos will ease the loneliness inside me.

Senior Citizen’s Christmas Party

There are lots of memories about parties that I can post here but there are two precious memories that will always linger in my heart: our family Christmas celebration and the Senior Citizen Christmas party last year.

For this week I will post about the Senior Citizen Christmas Party. Unfortunately I don’t have pictures of last year’s party but lucky enough ‘coz my sister uploaded photos of this year’s party in our family FB page. Looking at the photo brings me back to last year’s party...

My father was the Baranggay President for Senior Citizen Association. It was a very simple party held in the Baranggay’s covered court attended by more or less 50 members. You can see the excitement in their faces. Although they moved slowly they still participated on different games. I remember one old man walked out because he loosed in the game. They are like kids but are harder to please. Anyway the whole party was fun and ended with ballroom dance for everybody.

For this year, the president is my mother (my parents are both active in our community). I was not in the party to help her. But my sisters and my nieces and nephews were there to assist them.
