Holiday season is really just around the corner (Part 2)

This holiday break (nakiki-holiday break naman ako!), we are thinking of doing movie watching marathon at home. But we wanted a superb experience, so, we are thinking of buying something that will make the "event" wonderful. I think epson projectors are on sale but I don't think I can find a screen big enough where I can project it and really appreciate the output. We have a small house in the province (but a big home at that, hehehe), so, small walls.

Something like this would be nice, don't you think?

But in any case, I think this holiday break will be great -- minimal workload, maximum fresh air and gentle countryside breeze! Hehehe.

Holiday season is really just around the corner

December is probably the busiest month of the year. Traffic is everywhere, mall sales happen almost everyday, and bazaars can be seen almost in every street corner of the Metro!

I went to the mall yesterday to buy a disc and it took me almost an hour to get there (I used to take the bus and get there in a matter of minutes... 15 min max). But well, yesterday, the traffic is sooooooo irritating, to say the least. I wanted to get off the cab and just walk but the sun was directly above and the heat might cause me to experience heat stroke or something. Anyway, when I got to the mall, I saw so many items on sale. And believe it or not, so many items are being sold half their original price: barcode scanner, aircon,  LCD TVs (oh, yeah!), laptops, PCs, and so many more. Oven toasters are actually sold at buy 5-take 1 promo. Hehehe.

I am contemplating if I'll buy something for myself. I'm thinking of buying a laptop as a Christmas-slash-birthday gift for me. Hmmm...

Thank You, Ninoy and Other Heroes, Not just for Saving Our Country...

Guys, did you know that two long weekends (well, for those who are working in the corporate world) are fast approaching now? August 21 is Ninoy Aquino Day (so, Friday to Sunday) and August 31 is National Heroes Day (so, Sunday to Monday). This means you should already be planning your trip to that very beautiful beach up north or down south as early as now. In fact it might be too late already.

Well, actually, it's not yet too late. I mean, you still have at least two weeks before the first long weekend, and more than three weeks for the second long weekend. And if you have your own car (unfortunately for me, my budget/savings is only good for a car seat), going out of town is really not that complicated. You just fill your car with gas, choose a destination, and whoala! You're on your way to your destination.

As for me, I am planning to spend those two long weekends watching 24 and House! (Remember that post for Patricia? :-)) Hehehe. But if anyone of you would like to invite me for a joy ride, please, please, do not hesitate to do so.
