Long Baths
Posted by admin on Oct 22, 2009 in shopping
I was looking for jacuzzis when I came across walk in tubs. I liked the idea that our elders can still enjoy a long luxurious bath on their own. It has its own inward opening door so you can enter and exit the bath without climbing on it. No need to have someone accompany you when you take a bath. Just imagine what this small pleasure of being able to bath independently can do to parents / grandparents. I hope more innovative products like this will reach the market soon.
TCP#11: 1408
Posted by admin on Oct 19, 2009 in entertainment, movie
This week’s theme is Supernaturals. If you have seen a movie that is all about an existence beyond the scientifically visible universe, miracles, angels and demons, ghosts, magic, or even the paranormal, then come share it with us this week.
I’m not one to watch Horror movies because the scenes always stay in my head no matter how many years it has been. The last horror movie I saw was The 6th sense and after sleepless and terrifying nights due to my wild imagination, I never watched anything that’s remotely close to that genre ever again.
But I gave 1408 a chance because my husband told me it wasn’t that scary. I’m all for paranormals and the inexplicable after all. It’s the look of the dead, evil and what-not (the ring, the grudge) that really scares me.
What I love about 1408 is that I didn’t get scared of the “ghosts” but the fact that something so bad can happen to you in a room in one hour. There’s no escape, you are tortured by your own past / thoughts, and that even if you thought you’re safe and away from that room, you’d be surprised that you’re still inside and realize that there is no going out. EVER. The room will do its best to make you want to end your life than suffer another 60 minutes inside.
Makes me wonder what I will see if I was the one staying there. It plays with what’s in your mind so it’s different for every person. Glad it was a happy ending though because I wouldn’t be able to bear it if nothing good ever comes out of that film.
Career in Health
There are plenty of jobs in healthcare. This is one area when you’ll never run out of opportunities. Which is why before I graduated in High School, everyone around me kept telling me to get a career in the health industry. It’s just not for me though, but my friends who did are now doing well in their careers, stability and money-wise. My brother-in-law was going to enroll in Nursing as a matter of fact but when I asked him if it’s really what he wanted to do, he said he’s just following what others are doing.
Thinking about it now though, I would’ve gone for Medicine just so I would know what to do whenever my daughter is sick.

Goodbye To My New Point & Shoot
I just bought my Canon Powershot a480 three weeks ago at a 0% promo discount. Why? Because I want to buy a new business phone on a 0% plan too and don’t think it’s practical to pay for two gadgets at installment basis. The total is ridiculously high and it makes me nervous that I need to pay that amount every month for one whole year.
I sold it to my brother-in-law who fell in love with the camera at first sight. Can’t blame him because I loved this digital camera a lot too except for a few shots taken inside our room. Either there’s too much noise or the shutter speed isn’t enough to take steady photos without flash. That is the most important thing when taking photos of kids.
It’s still a very good camera especially if you think about the price. Some of the shots are DSLR-worthy. I compared it with my shots with out Canon 40D and they are almost similar IF you’re shooting with plenty of light.
Other features: multi-face detection, several scenes to choose from including super macro, program mode – set up ISO, white balance, etc, high quality video (my favorite)
If you’re looking for a cheap but reliable cam, I highly suggest this one. In fact, if I stumble upon some extra cash, I’ll get a Canon Powershot a480 again.
Shopping for School
Posted by admin on Oct 16, 2009 in shopping
Now that I’m a working adult, I miss the excitement of buying new school supplies every start of a school year. I still remember the smell of new notebooks and books, the scented erasers and various shapes for paper clips and sharpeners. I have tried re-visiting that experience by purchasing new office supplies for my “home office” but it just wasn’t the same. There are no matching Hello Kitty pens and pencil case. The erasers look boring and dull and doesn’t smell good. Even the pens are neither fun nor colorful.
So you know what I ended up doing? I shopped for my little girl even though she’s not really in that stage where she’ll need a whole new set of pencil case, notebooks, scissors and what-not. They have perfectly good set of school items in school (they provide it to avoid kids fighting over cute things) and don’t really give parents a chance to hoard school supplies.
