Games & Gadgets

In terms of shopping, nothing beats the time you can search better products online. I did this a few times and the convenience that I get just works for me. There’s no hassle to go back and forth in a store whereas online, you can just read the specifications of a product, read user reviews and articles much more than you can get in a store. I do recommend shopping online. It does save you on a gas, time and effort.

The one shopping site I would like you to consider to go check is Shopwiki. You can get articles on different products. It is really helpful when you get to read what you could get to a certain product. This site will give you details on which you can get benefit from. Other sites features 1,000 stores but Shopwiki has over 30,000 stores. Do you think others can beat that? It’s worth visiting when you know a site like this can give all what you are looking for.

Many of my friends online did receive a Wii on their birthdays, Christmas and New Years. I missed playing games. Back where I grow up, my brothers are fanatics on purchasing what’s the latest trend on the gaming world. It is so much fun to play the games with them. I miss those times. Though, they are too distant away now that I live in a different country, I would reconnect myself to them by buying myself a Wii soon. I have second guess Xbox+360 and Playstation+3. I know they are still the best one you could get. I just like the Wii. If anyone of you would like buying it online, make sure to visit Shopwiki.

Fresh bad start

Well, I guess you all know about how I worked with my boss. Today, it seems that he got into that spell again. He got a problem with me not communicating with him openly of whatsoever that is going on with my work and other stuff. I got so much pressure with that knowing if the phone lines are busy, it needed to be taken care of. If I don't answer it quick, he will got a problem. If there are problems that come up, he got stressed. His just too much to handle.

The economy is too bad right now that quitting your job is not an option. But how can you hold on to that job when you can't deal with the people you worked with. The saddest part, you did your best but the best that you give is not enough to the people you want to pleased with. It's tough to do your very best when it's not appreciated. All I can say I did my share and I had impart the best of me to help the company. It's time to move on and this time it will be for real. I had enough of getting myself with harsh comment and appreciation that I am not too sure if it's really true.

What I wish for my birthday?

I believe I had achieved what I wanted to get this year. The new place to live in, my new camera and rekindling a friendship. It's a blessing for me to have this all. I know there are things that I want that I don't think would be possible and it's a disappointment.

Lately, I have my downs on certain things but I just can't tell what it is. It's better to keep it to myself. I am undecided what could be the best thing to do. I guess in time it will just pass.

I sure hope that there could be unexpected things that could happen on my birthday but definitely will not be expecting more. I don't want to get disappointed. I rather stay on the positive notes that my husband is liking to do for me.

My morning face

Out of my friend's tag, though I really don't like posting my face without make up and no Photoshop. Well, this is me. My real skin, eyes, smile and nose and hair after getting up in bed. I looked terrible. But I guess, beauty is skin deep. So this is it! Me, myself and I.

Ornaments

These are my ornaments for the year. I had these since 2005 and I just used it once. So this year, I am using it again. For the past 2 years, I was using my gold ornaments. This time I switched back to these. It bring back good memories of me and my husband. It was my first Christmas and birthday in the apartment. We just moved recently too so I thought this could be the perfect decor for the year. I think my tree this year is a little bit bigger than what I had maybe I could add more ornaments to fill this tree. But definitely, I will add 1 more ornament that me and my husband already started every year to signify our Christmas together.

Brightstorm

I could recall on my days in High school where I suffered from getting all the materials I need for studying. I was resourceful enough to look around for friends who had other reading materials.
