It just stopped raining, so I decided to walk to the grocery store a couple of blocks away to get some things needed at home, and to clear my head at the same time. I had so many things going through my mind. I needed to shake off the cobwebs in my head.
You know the feeling when you have so many things in your mind that you don't know what to to figure out first? On top of that, you feel hopeless because you haven't started on one single thing yet? That's how i felt. It's like you're writing a blog and you don't know what category it falls into because you are writing about diverse things. Continue reading "Grinch Moment"
It was a let-down for me. I guess I expected too much.
I wasn't impressed with this year's Consumers Electronics Live Manila held at the Mall of Asia's SMX. There was nothing there that you wouldn't see at SM's Cyberzone, or in Gillmore. The only difference was that you didn't have to go in and out of shops and also the 'drop your card, pick a prize' gimmick which most of the exhibitors used as their come-ons to guests. And if you have ready cash, then you could avail of discounts on various gadgets.
Although I guess for the male visitors, even if there were no gadgets on displays, they would still enjoy the eye candies 'on display'. As the trend in conventons, tradeshows, exhibits, etc. nowadays, there were plenty of gorgeous ladies milling around - models and consultants - in sexy, some skimpy, outfits.
The bright part of the show, for me, was seeing the Philippines' first solar-powered car, which I heard so much about. Now that's something I don't see that Cyberzone!
Oh, yeah, I also spotted the new MacBooks, which are more elegant and classy especially with the silver and black aluminum casing.
Well, better luck next year. I hope to see newer and more exciting products - something that's not yet out in the market just to whet our gadget appetites and make the trip worthwhile.
About an hour away from Manila is as haven of butterflies. Thanks to my kids' school field trip, I discovered this really nice place.
The butterfly garden was a delight! Full of different kinds of plants and flowers with butterfly in bright colors flying around. I was very refreshing to see green all around.
I would like to go back there again, and try to feed the butterflies. I didn't have a chance to feed them because there were too many kids around. It would be nice to just sit there quietly and be with nature, even for just 10 minutes.
