This could be the iPod for me

Since the iPod came out, I've been saying that as much as I want one, I don't really need it. After all, I was very happy with my now outdated Palm Tungsten. But alas! My multimedia collection keeps on growing and growing! I think I need some help in the storage capacity department. Plus, my Tungsten's battery life has gone really crappy -- I can't even listen to music for an entire shift anymore.

One thing that has turned me off with the whole iPod thing is the fact that when it first came out, we were talking about 120G of storage! At more than Php20K, seriously, I didn't need that! That's why I'm very pleased when they started to release the 8G and 16G series. And now, I just found out that they have the new "nanochromatic" iPod nano, which includes, yes -- PURPLE!!!

I've been thinking a lot about getting an iPod and when I saw the purple one, I'm like, "This just might be the one for me!" With budget issues, I just hope I don't get an earful from my wife when I finally decide to get one! Yay! I'm pretty much waiting for the Mac Store in my favorite mall to open. When they do and they have a purple iPod nano readily available, I'll take it as a sign. I'll get that instead of the purple Sony Ericsson phone that I've been thinking of buying. Hehehe! For now, I'll just drool over this photo and wait...

My Favorite Things

Over the weekend, I began writing this really long blog entry. All of a sudden, IE had an error then closed down. Alas! My composition wasn't saved.

Mid-week Recap

Marikina is the one place I’d always, always go back to. I lived there for nearly a year after I was a born. We had a place of business in Calumpang until I was probably a toddler. My grandmother lived there and all of my best friends live in Marikina! My favorite thing about Markina though, is the FOOD.

Today, I went to Calumpang to buy my favorite Miki-bihon guisado, bihon con lechon for my Mom and wife, and of course, lumpiang shanghai. While waiting for food order to go, I walked to the nearest Mang Frederick’s to buy several sticks of isaw. I remembered Des… I figured, we have beer when she comes home and we’ll order some isaw. I bet she misses those already, so, I took note of their mobile number. (Excited???)

Oh by the way, I also bought a lotto ticket! It’s been a while since I got one of those, I had to ask how it costs now! Crazy!

So there, that’s my adventure for today… It was nice, especially since I’m not feeling very well with this stupid cough. I think I better rest more and stop going to malls after my shift! Since last week, I’ve been going to my new favorite mall – SM City Marikina. I don’t know, but for some reason, I always go there doing some errands and other random stuff like buying lots of bread from The French Baker. Hehehe! Monday, I went there for the bank and to buy a couple of bag organizers for my wife and mom. Yesterday, I was there again to buy some groceries and dinner. Today, well, I finally went to another mall… my mom asked me to buy food for my feline siblings. I ended up buying those plus six bottles of vitamins – also known as Carlsberg Chill. Crazy, eh? Oh well, my off’s coming, so let’s just I’m preparing. J
