I have been eying for this gadget this holiday season. The retail price already dropped to its promotional price (52k something down to 48k something). What’s more, you’ll get a free 1GB RAM upgrade and a free cellphone (A Motorola W218). When we went there hours ago to finally buy it, the promo was already gone, except for the free cellphone. The free RAM upgrade was down to 512MB. The sales staff tried to convince the sortaf manager to give the 1GB RAM but the sortaf manager did not appease our cravings for more memory. But hey, there’s a compensation: They would be giving us a free Headset (which is apparently a cheapo one), a free 2GB flash drive, a free carrying case (which is btw a staple for all laptop manufacturers), (still) a free cellphone and a special offer: 2GB RAM upgrade for only 1.5k! Nice deal eh? But my parents insisted a free 2GB RAM upgrade. But the sortaf manager wouldn’t give in. So we looked in other shops hoping there’s a better deal. The one in Asianic has a loser deal: free 1GB RAM upgrade and a 1GB flash drive. We ended up buying the happy deal in Accent Micro. :D Yey!

Wake-up ALps

Amidst the cold morning, a text message woke me up. Actually, Vector (my mobile phone’s name) wakes me up whenever he receives a text message but I go back to sleep when I realize that those messages are sent in a group (More popularly known as a “Group Message”). But when I saw one coming from Marvin, I am back to the world of the awake. Marvin is not fond of sending GMs so I know it’s a personalized one. He greeted me Good Morning and said that he is bound for Lawton to fetch Lanie. Lanie is going to Marvin’s house because she is invited to the birthday celebration of Marvin’s father. We had a little conversation until all of a sudden, I was already texting Lanie. Of course, she teases me about Marvin. Oh yeah, I am (We are) already immune. LOL.

Live! Journal

A couple of minutes later, I got myself online and fixed my Friendster profile and LJ account. Wee, I love both of them. For my Friendster profile, I used an pre-made layout then just edited it so the color theme would be dark green and olive green. Halovit! For my LJ, it seems to be pretty simple but I guess complexity is not so me. Although I concede I am a little sophisticated at some times :P.

Stroll at the Mall

I, my sister and my mother decided to go to the Festival Supermall. My sister would be meeting her classmates and my mother would have her bag repaired at Marithé et François Girbaud. And I? I just want myself out our house. I and my mother first went to the department store to buy a gift for Ivan. My mother decided to buy a toy robot for him since it’s his favorite toy. Then off we went to some bag and fashion stores. My sister also came by after while. I hate mall strolling with girls, Oh well. But I am a little happy when my mom bought me a top from Solo. Haha. But geez, its size is XS! I decided to return it for a S size on Monday. Tsk. Anyway, we ate at Chowking for some hot stuff then we then went to have buy some groceries.

That Timepiece!

I am so in-loved with the Casio timepiece I saw! Woot! It costs PhP3,000.00! I want to buy it! I hope it wouldn’t be gone until the 30th! When I got home, I am still thinking of it until I fell asleep :P.
