2012 Projects

The last day of the month was quite a busy day for me. That is also the reason why I just logged-in online tonight. There are just a lot of plans and projects for this year. Despite some trials at the end of the year 2011, we are still standing up hoping to face everything. There are some good news for the past weeks and we are very glad and thankful about it. It is also time to continue little by little our projects. There are a lot of things that are lining-up. We need to fix our bathroom. We need a new kitchen. The dining floor need to be changed and we are planning to have laminate floors on it. Our garage/terrace still need some walls and tiles for its floor. We need a new oven. The storage at the back of our house needs to be totally fixed. What else? We are hoping to slowly start some of these projects when spring comes. Lastly we also need more budgeting and savings to make these plans turn to reality.

Goodnight folks and I hope that your last day of January turned out great!

Fold-up car of the future unveiled for Europe

A tiny revolutionary fold-up car designed in Spain's Basque country as the answer to urban stress and pollution was unveiled Tuesday before hitting European cities in 2013.

The "Hiriko," the Basque word for "urban," is an electric two-seater with no doors whose motor is located in the wheels and which folds up like a child's collapsible buggy, or stroller, for easy parking.

Dreamt up by Boston's MIT-Media lab, the concept was developed by a consortium of seven small Basque firms under the name Hiriko Driving Mobility, with a prototype unveiled by European Commission president Jose Manuel Barroso.

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!

Sounds like a song but sometimes girls just wanna have fun! Spending time with friends going out to a disco, attending a party or just simply having a get-together is always a fun experience. I remember when I went out with good friends last autumn 2011. We went to a disco in Fun Park Regensburg. The place is cool, jolly disco music, modern dj equipment and the sound system was awesome. I love watching people with different reactions and dancing styles on the floor. What is going to a disco or bar twice or thrice a year! and yes, girls just wanna have fun sometimes and I love it!

No More Friendster Like Before

Like facebook, friendster was once a social network that I really like. It's been a long time since I haven't visited this site. During my last sign-in in my account sometimes in September or October 2011, I noticed that it is already totally different. I can't even see the many photos that I uploaded in their websites. I don't know what happened to it. My profile picture was also gone. Friendster was once where I can communicate with my friends and family around the world. Since most people now are using facebook (imagine around 800 millions of users worldwide!), a lot of social networking sites like friendster, myspace, netlog and many others are becoming unpopular.

I am quite happy now seeing, meeting and communicating with friends, family and acquaintances in Facebook. Besides it is free of use. Lastly, when I visited friendster website lately, I found out that it is already a gaming site. sad to say, I don't have much time playing games in the internet. Goodbye Friendster! Hello facebook and twitter!

Chaos in my PC Room

There is a chaos again in my pc room. Travel books, paper cut-outs, pens, postcards are scattered around. I hope to fix and arrange everething before weekend comes. I also have another problem. One of the switch covers is broken. Someone need to fix this or else it can cause injuries when not repaired. I found some good wood switch covers online and would love to show it to hubby. I hope he can secure one of these to replace the broken switch cover. I also need another shelf for my books. This room need to be repaired anyway. For now, I will just see to it that all my stuffs here are arrange all the time. See you later folks. I will be out to meet some friends for awhile.

Enjoy the rest of sunny winter day!

English Wikipedia to be Blacked Out To Protest SOPA and PIPA

I was surprised as I read this messages on top of Wikipedia's site. It says that, "Please note: in less than 8 hours, the English Wikipedia will be blacked out globally to protest SOPA and PIPA". This simply means that starting January 18, 2012, Wikipedia in English will be unavailable for 24 hours. I believed a lot of people especially the students and even myself will be very sad about this. I love this site and it is like my encyclopedia.

Birthday Presents

There are always a lot of things to be thankful of in our lives. First and foremost is the gift of life. This is one of the greatest gift to be grateful of. Next month my sister and my father will be celebrating their birthdays. They always use to celebrate it together every year as thanksgiving for another year in their lives. For that reason, I already started to think of unique birthday presents especially for my father. My brother for sure would love cao cigars as presents but I guess my father won't because he don't smoke. For my sister, I already have something for her. Until now I am still thinking of what to give to my father. Any unique gift ideas you have in mind? Thanks in advance and till tomorrow again. Goodnight!
