I recently upgraded my sassy pink laptop from Windows 7 Starter Edition to Professional with no sweat! Thanks to my good friend Mark for the seamless instructions that he sent me via email. In just a matter of minutes, I was able to complete the upgrade. Hooray!!!

Here’s a view of my desktop flaunting that cool Aero Desktop Experience while on standby. I chose the “bubbles” screensaver, which my daughter loves looking at.

*The Aero desktop experience features a translucent glass design with subtle window animations and new window colors.

With Windows 7 Professional Edition, my browsing experience is much faster, the pop up display and interface look so much nicer. Most of all, I can now change my desktop wallpaper and other visual styles without the need to use some third-party software like Oceanis.

My pathetic attempt at photography. Haha!

I love buying things online.

Why? Because imported items are way cheaper than the ones being sold at the malls. Plus, paying through Paypal is safe and hassle-free.

So far, I’ve had more than 15 successful transactions with online stores/sellers. I bought toys, a book, memory card, a DVD of the Christian movie “MOST” (The Bridge), clothes, feeding bottles, and a whole lot more! The items were delivered to me in good condition in just a day or two (except for the DVD because it came from the US). Sometimes I even get a freebie!

It’s cool knowing that almost everything can now be purchased online. (Yes, even home furniture, tiles and sport trophies!)

Three months ago during our tech training for All-in-One Printers, our Canadian trainer asked us if there is a laptop rental here in the Philippines.

And since we didn’t know that there is such a thing, we just gave him a “surprised” look as if he said something out of this world. Hahaha! He wanted to rent a Mac laptop so he can show us the interface of the latest Mac 10.5 (“Leopard”) operating system. He said in Canada, laptop rentals are  just common. Oh well…

It’s annoying when you’re in areas that have very poor signal. Especially if you’re waiting for an important call on your cellular phone and you’re inside the office building. I noticed that this issue is most common on the basement because it usually happens to me. I am not sure if there is a scientific explanation to it though.

Anyway, I’ve found out that the best solution for this problem is to use cell phone amplifiers! Ain’t that cool?
