The Shopaholic In Me

It’s one of the husband’s gift(s) for me. Initially, I really wanted an Iphone but I just realized that a touch-screen mobile won’t work for me especially that I am used to sending sms messages even while driving. I’m getting the hang of this phone already. I love the freedom that I can check and answer emails, open attachments, edit word and excel files and now using it as well to keep track of all my calendar schedules. I finally said goodbye to my Tungsten W! (I just use it now as a calculator, hehehe!)

Since I was all affected with rankings and all, I decided to just let go and let loose last weekend. I spent quality time with family, with the kids and Dicky. I had an event last saturday and so Dicky used Amanda to download some mac games from Phelios. He then showed me a great new mac game that he got. So off to my in-laws place yesterday, Dicky and I played this new game the whole afternoon while the kids are asleep. It is one of the newest rpg games available from Phelios, which can give you a step-by-step procedure to download the game and even give a tutorial about the game itself. Now, that is bonding! lol!

We slept late last night. Instead of watching DVDs, Dicky and I tried playing Mac Poker using Amanda. This is actually one of the games he downloaded from the internet. It is sometimes hard to look for a site to play online poker but he found this Pacific Poker online.  

He even reviewed the Poker Stars which is laid out better than any other online poker available. This can be accessed just by hovering the mouse over the top of the buttons of the page. Everything is organized and doesn’t hog the memory of any computer. There is even Fulltilt Poker that has tied up with Mac Poker Online to offer readers some bonus code. We are actually getting addicted in playing different games with Amanda especially now that Dicky has some free time.  Dicky has been patient to teach me the rules of the game and I must admit, it is a pretty interesting one.  Although I still need to get used with the combinations, I need to familiarize myself about it.  It’s purely for fun.  No intention to do it as gambling though.

I cut-off already my Fitness First Membership last May since I have not been going to the gym for the last 4 months! Gee, I just wasted money! I blame myself for being such a slacker on exercising. The husband has not been exercising as well but we both need to get fit before December so we are making some deals around here. Gifts galore will be showered by Christmas if we hit our desired weights. We are making it a combined effort and I patterned it with Jacqui’s bet with Mike. So the verdict, the husband decided to buy a treadmill. Can anyone let me know what type of treadmill is a good buy? Where’s the best place to buy it? Been reading up from some treadmills guide from the treadmillsguru and the information there are very helpful. But I would also appreciate more inputs from those who really purchased already.

For those of you who doesn’t know yet, this is Amanda, my very sleek Macbook! I love everything about her. Although we had a love-hate relationship in our first few weeks, now I pretty know how to manage her already. They said that when you started to use an Apple, you won’t go back to a PC-based flatform anymore. I guess I am starting to feel that way already. I love every bit about her. The programs, managing files, photos, videos, etc and even playing free mac games that has been pre-installed to her. I enjoy playing the Wedding Dash mac game very much. And I love puzzle games so I have been addicted to Chuzzle for mac games.

I need to get a partner for Amanda. My existing printer is too old for her. I want to get a 3-in-1 machine. That is a printer, scanner and copier in one. My options are: big “Brother”, Epi for Epson and Hewlett for HP. Any one using any of the three? Will appreciate your feedback and recommendations.

(I’m pressured to decide within the week as Dicky’s been bugging me to dispatch my Compaq already. He is selling it by the way.)

Dicky and I are DVD fanatics. We do marathon watching for our favorite TV series like Grey’s Anatomy, 24 and now House. Dicky has been wanting to buy an LCD TV for our room to make watching DVDs a more wonderful experience. What’s a good brand for LCD TV that is worth its price? It could be our great gift to each other for our anniversary on May.

I have been thinking to get an Ipod. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to utilize its use to the maximum. But I’m starting to shop around anyway. I also wanted to check prices with different merchants selling it. So I started to browse and came across a good site to compare prices. SaveBuckets is actually a price comparison site for all your product needs. It would help you find great deals on almost anything. You just have to key in what you are looking for in their search box and it directs you to the best deals you can get. If you feel that the price isn’t low enough or is still not within your budget, you can email them and you will receive a notice once the product becomes available at your right price. They have wide categories from Consumer Electronics, Electronic Games, Home and Garden, Clothing, Computer Hardware and Sports and Leisure. I’m actually saving the site to my search bar now. I’m hoping to ge a best deal for an Ipod.
