Future Computer, PC or Laptop?

1 comment
While I`m doing one of my favorite hobbies which is to search, surf, browse and read friend`s and other`s blog, I`ve come to encounter a certain post or article that had surely caught my interest again. Yes my dear, there are a lot of stuffs that interest me, and new and advanced technologies are just one of them.


Just like the author of the certain article, I was not taken aback too when I have seen this pen-sized PC, I mean I am not surprised after all since I and my friends in college have thought of this one before. But honestly, it still amazes me. We know for sure how technology works nowadays, and I surely won`t be surprised anymore once another advanced technology will be introduced in the market for I am certain that technology is always on the move! But then again, technology still amazes me.

But could this really be the future of Computer/PC/Laptop? My answer could be YES, it is POSSIBLE since I always believe that in a human`s mind, the possibility is really endless.

As of this writing, I am not just sure about the current status of this stuff but certainly this could one day become feasible when technology is ripe and upon the revolution of future computers. I`m not just certain though if when would that be or if I would still be here when these stuffs come to its existence and reality.

Truly this is something for us to look forward to, but for now just enjoy looking at the images and try to imagine how could and how comfortable this gadgets might give us in the future. Just hope that the realization of these stuffs would be very soon. LOL!

Eat All You... Can`t?

6 comments
Just wanna share one of my most unforgettable experiences this year. Whatchutink mommy burns?
------

Almost two weeks ago, I and 10 of my officemates headed by Mommy Burns planned for a certain get-together weekend party for the purpose of strengthening our bond and sort of a team-building for us. Of course, the plan is set after our payday on the 20th of September - which just happen to be yesterday.

Originally, the plan was to eat dinner at a certain restaurant here in Cebu City which offers seafood meals for a cheaper price, then bar-hopping, videoke, and drink drink drink... but due to some important reasons and important appointments, we just then decided to do the first one which is to eat dinner together.

Everybody agreed to have dinner at TONG`S, a certain 'eat all you can' Filipino restaurant located at Cebu City [just near PASEO] because accordingly, they offer seafood meals plus the price is right. For only P170.00, you can already eat all you can eat... much cheaper than what I thought of. And the set time was 7:00 PM sharp!

I`ve always liked seafood meals since I`ve grown up in Zamboanga City where seafood is in abundance. And I never had bad things to say about any 'eat all you can' restaurants until recently during our get together dinner party. I can`t speak for my officemates who were in my group, but surely I`ll speak based on what I have experienced.

The idea of eating at a certain 'eat all you can' restaurant for me was very good. Of course it`s a fact that `twas not my first time eating in such kind of restaurant since there are plenty of those in Zamboanga City. But never did I realize that my thought about 'eat all you can' restaurant was perfectly wrong. Especially if you`ll be asked or worst, be forced to eat those foods you can`t already consume...

`twas 7:06 PM when I, Carol, and Mommy Burns arrived at TONG`s 'eat all you can' restaurant. We were surprised to see our other officemates to have been there on time plus the fact that almost everybody was there except for AJ who accordingly can`t really make it since she had a more important thing to do [more important than us, AJ?]. And I was even surprised when I`ve noticed that Bubbles was too quiet that night [not the usual Bubbles I`ve known for a year who`s talkative and noisy] only to realize the very fact that she`s already drunk. Haha, now that gave me the idea how to zipped her big mouth. Please remind me to bring tequila at work, later [LOL]...

Since we`re too starved already and since my stomach is so empty [again, lemme remind you that I only eat once a day - too desperate to lose weight], we then rushed through the buffet table and look for what`s in store for us. Hmmm, it wasn`t all seafood meals after all not like what Kouka and Dit had told me. Anyway, it`s good to know that there were three dishes I can eat: Baked 'talaba', a certain shrimp dish, and a certain chicken dish... Look so yummy, and I can`t think of anything else but to put it inside my mouth.

To cut the story short, we then ate and ate until we got our stomachs full. And when almost everybody was full, Sandra then decided to ask for the bill... only to be surprised with what the waiter replied. We were asked to finish everything that was on our plates especially the rice. God knows how full our stomachs were that time and to take another spoon of rice would surely make it burst. But accordingly, we have no option but to do it since it`s one of the restaurant policy. Oh *uck! Then they should have told us about their policy right from the very start so we wouldn`t end up that as if they`re forcing us to eat what we can`t already take... It seems like a punishment to me!

I know and it`s a very fact that it`s obviously our own fault. Why in the first place we`d put too much into our plate if we couldn`t even take it all? But fellows gimme a break! Customer satisfaction and customer`s good should always be your first priority. Why would you demand your customers to still eat those left food on their plates when it`s obvious that they stopped because they couldn`t take it anymore? Would you rather let your customers suffer, than to just let it pass and give them some knowledge about your restaurant policy? God knows `twas our first time to eat at your place or should I say, your restaurant... and we`re so offended. Honestly I am suppose to say that your restaurant was good since you offer good delicacies plus the fact that I considered all the dishes I`ve eaten in your place yummy, but because you`ve let me eat all I can`t already take then I decided not give you good reviews! Next time, please let us know your policy before letting us eat what we can`t already eat. Intiendes?

And hey! Lemme tell you this... I know and I am very much aware of the fact that there are many people around the world who are starving for food. And I am not wasting either. I`m even one of the many advocates for humanity who asks for people to stop wasting foods, and stop wasting all the resources we have.

Just a bite of INFO...


For those who may not know it, 'EAT ALL YOU CAN' restaurants are for people whose hunger was often bigger than their budget. The deal with restaurants who offer such dining is an unlimited amount of food usually arranged as a self-service buffet with a fixed price which is suppose to be lower than you can imagine.

This type of restaurant dining had mushroomed in different areas here in the Philippines, most particularly here in Cebu City for obvious reasons.

Thank God It`s PAYDAY!

Leave a Comment

There are two days in a month that I usually look forward to, and it`s every 5th and 20th. Why? Well it just happen to be our payday! Not the usual 15th and 30th should I say, but it`s far more better... I mean, there is really no need for you to rush through automated teller machines and wait in line for hours just to get your pay, since there are less transactions done every 5th and 20th than the usual 15th and 30th, right?

Anyway, after getting our pay today, some of my officemates and I decided to go for shopping. We actually planned about it for about a month already and I am just glad that we`re able to make it happen. It`s not really the usual shopping where people normally go to malls and look for better wears. I considered ours to be simply different.

We went through a certain thrift store or a surplus store, whatever you call it [we normally call it "ukay-ukay" here in the Philippines] located at Mactan-Cebu, and then we managed to look for wears which are cheaper yet seem to look elegant and expensive. Who cares if it was already used or somebody might have wore it already for several times, what matters for us is the quality of those wears and the lesser amount of money it will cost us.

At the end, I managed to buy a shirt for P80.00, a short for P50.00 and a jacket for P95.00, for a total of P225.00 only! Wow! I was able to saved more. It`s my best buy ever! Haha. See the pictures below, and you`ll be the judge!
