I love my very Handy Pocket Camcorder!
Feb 25, 2010 Cameras
Kodak Zi8 is my new pocket HD camcorder. It was a Valentine’s gift from my loving husband. You have no idea how I’ve been enjoying it since the first day we bought it from Bestbuy. It is one coolest gadget I’ve ever had. If you can remember or if you’ve been reading my blog ever since, you will know that it was on the top of my shopping spree list this year. I’ve been dying to get a HDD-Handycam for years now but since the Flip Video became popular because of its being handy for a camcorder I’ve decided to wait for a while until the company releases an HD version. Unfortunately, Kodak Zi8 came out first and I am so excited to own a pocket HD camcorder. I don’t regret it cos Kodak is a legit brand. I’m not sure what’s the difference between these two brands. What I can only say is that I am satisfied and happy with my Kodak Zi8.
I’m amazed on how clear my videos are especially when I’m viewing it on our HDTV using the included HDMI cable. I can now fully enjoy watching videos of my kids’ recorded memories. I’m looking forward to all the special events of the family this year like birthdays, Yuna’s field trips and school events. I can no longer wait! Also, have I ever mentioned that I like to make videos? I’d like to try making some music and funny videos.

Excited to exercise
Feb 20, 2010 Worth Blogging
I’m very excited that there’s only a few more weeks of winter left. Spring is coming and of course everybody will start going out. As for me, spring is time for some serious exercise. I can’t wait to start running in the morning and in the afternoon just like how I did last year. My goal is to burn as much fat as possible before winter comes again. Maybe to speed up the fat burning process I’ll take some supplements. I don’t know which one yet so I’ve been searching online for top fat burners. Let’s all stay healthy and try to be physically fit this year.

My crazy kids
Feb 18, 2010 Worth Blogging
My kids are getting bigger. My baby is now almost two years old while my eldest is now six. You can just imagine how our apartment looks like when they play with their toys. They both love to sing and dance all of the time. So, again imagine how messy our apartment gets when they dance to the tune of Barbie Girl. Sometimes I’d think to my self that the kids are too much for me to handle. I might need some treatment for wrinkles if this continues. But also, I would remember that my kids will eventually grow up and will never be children again. So, it’s best to persevere for now and enjoy the happiness they bring to my life.
Thinking of going back to school…
Feb 17, 2010 Ideas
Would you like to change your career? Have a better job and a brighter future? Well, those of course depend on eduction. I would definitely love to do something better than what I’m doing right now so I always think about going back to school to get a degree and get the job that I want. Being a parent, it would not be easy for me to find time to go to school and study and at the same time care for my kids. After thinking about these issues, I thought about online universities. There are lots of online universities that will help you achieve your educational goals. Most of these online universities have different programs that regular universities offer.
Recently, I’ve been checking Western Governors University and learned about the programs the online university offers like online nursing degree, online IT degree, online management and much more. Online universities are so convenient for busy people with families like myself. Just think about all the time and money you’ll be saving as compared to going to a regular university. For sure, I have my mind straight about this. When I’m ready to go back to school, online school will be my choice.

Pills for your joints…
Feb 13, 2010 Ideas, Worth Blogging
With the technology we have today, we would be able to lengthen the span of human life in the future. It is very possible because look at what humans have done over the course of just a single century. We have invented and discovered more findings in the past couple of hundred of centuries combined! Now if you’re sick, you don’t experiment with plants anymore (though they still sometimes do). When you have join pains, you go to www.jointsupplementreviews.net and look for the perfect pills for your joints. When you want to see your baby, you just go get a 3D or 4D ultrasound. Oh the wonders of science!

I’m looking for surround speakers
Feb 6, 2010 Accessories, Appliances
Just a week ago, my husband and I picked up a new HDTV. We didn’t plan on buying a new TV but since it was on sale at Target we went ahead and made the purchase. It’s really not bad especially when considering how much we paid for it. Now, there are two things that we would like to buy to compliment the TV, a new TV stand and surround sound speakers. The speakers might have to wait a little since they’re a little expensive so for now we might just get a new stand. I’ve been browsing the web for affordable tv stands and fortunately they’re everywhere. Hopefully, soon I can find a good deal for some nice speakers. You all should let me know if you see some good speaker deals out there.

Some gadget shopping
Feb 5, 2010 Accessories, Appliances, Cellphones
As what I have said in my other blog, we went shopping last Sunday. I bought all the necessary accessories for our gadgets like this cute pink mini mice and a pink mouse pad for my laptop. Guess what brand I chose? Its from Microsoft, I did not know that they’re venturing to electronics. I also purchased 2 cans of electronic dust spray. I’ve been wanting that dust spray for like a year now. It was a nice feeling that you got all you need though I still need to buy a wireless USB for Yuna’s computer. We moved her computer table in the other side of the house which is away from the internet modem. Oh by the way, just want to brag a little, we finally got a new HDTV. Not a famous brand and the size is only 32″ but we are kind of contented and happy cos at last we have an HDTV now. Hubby said we are going to buy the big one with a nice brand next time. The husband is so happy with his new TV. He couldn’t stop playing all his PS3 games.
We have also tested the blue-ray disc of our PS3 for the 1st time. We watched the ‘Push’ movie and I can believe we’ve missed the quality of the blue-ray disc for such a long time. It was so awesome watching movie in HD. So sharp and clear. I’m loving our new TV ^_^x
On the other hand, I feel like changing my phone again. I don’t want a sociable mobile phone anymore. Right now, I only want a phone that has Mobile internet where I can blog and browse the internet. That’s it no other unnecessary stuff. Also, I want one with a bigger screen d(>w<)b
