Eye procedure

Jul 6, 2008 Worth Blogging

As I was checking out a website that talks about eye care and procedures to correct vision, I came across Lasik. You guys might think how ignorant I am for not knowing but I seriously never heard about it. Well, Lasik is a procedure done to the eye which uses laser to change the curvature of the cornea. Through this procedure astigmatism, nearsightedness and farsightedness can be corrected. It’s really amazing what technology had brought to the medical field.

It’s been a long long time since I last used my Zune. It was stocked inside its own box. I lost interest in listening to any kind of music in the past months, don’t ask coz I don’t know why… but this morning I saw the box of my boomer and suddenly missed it. I plugged it right away to our laptop and I found out that I need to upgrade Boomer’s software. I like the new interface and I’m starting to like it again hehehehe.

Capabilities of a new zuneware: WiFi syncing that will transfer music, movies, photos, podcasts, and other content from host computer to Zune without any physical connection. Also exciting is the announcement that Zunes will be able to sync with content recorded on a Windows Media Center PC, which means users who’ve got a capture card or tuner and are using their WMC-PC as a DVR will be able to transfer recordings of TV content to their Zune for perusal while on the move. Also, Zune now support all types of music and video file.

Just a quick morning update…

Jul 2, 2008 Misc

I woke up so early today and its another day for me to clean the house and wash the dishes. I just finished washing the dishes and I so hate our faucets because I’m having a hard time calculating the hot and cold running water. Even if I turn it into full hot its still cold and sometimes the water will suddenly turn into smoking hot. I wish our maintenance would change it or do something about it. It’s so annoying…

According to Chinese people, artificial flowers or fake flowers are not good. It can bring no luck in your house. As for me, there’s nothing wrong about it just part of decorating your house. Speaking of artificial flowers, I love those silk flowers that I’ve seen from the site I have just visited early this morning. I love it… I want one for the living room

I’m really surprized that there’s still a lot of big bike fanatics. I thought that big bikes and bikers are things of the past like way back in the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s. But recently, I noticed that everytime I go to downtown Chicago I always see a group of bikers. Along my bus stop [...]
