Christmas 2005 has just brought me lessons too expensive to bear. I was victimized by what appeared to be a female Salisi Gang member who took all my valuables while I was taking a shower inside my house on the morning of the 25th. Her stash included money, all my jewelry and my gadgets (including an expensive one I was reviewing for MB). The only survivor of the incident was my iPod which wasn't discovered by the Evil Bitch as it was in one of my old bags. It shudders me to think how I could have welcomed this woman who applied as a nanny just because she was a ... Continue Reading...
‘You Make Me Believe In Christmas’
family Originally uploaded by annalyn. To My Beloved Paolo, Dianne & Dionne, Did I ever tell you I really don't like Christmas .... all the traffic, the impatient drivers, the pushing and shoving in public areas, the frantic search for perfect gifts, the exorbitant prices in most shopping centers, the pressure to cook for noche buena, meeting relatives you don't like in family reunions etc etc? By some twist of fate, your Mom is also at her lowest in Christmas this year because I have lost some very valuable things. This is exactly the reason why I can only ... Continue Reading...
Ajay on Instapundit
I am just lazily surfing while on my shift in this dead hour of the morning when I noticed my stats counter.... 39 peeps online?? Shucks, this can't be true. So I check my Wordpress control panel to verify the culprit and find a direct link to Instapundit which is just like ... one of the most famous blogs in the universe :D Here is Prof. Glenn Reynolds' short mention about me which was enough to drive up my relatively pathetic blog traffic: "ANNALYN HAS A CELLPHONE with a built-in flashlight. Great for power failures. In Nigeria, actually, people favor phones ... Continue Reading...
Present perfect
My creation Yay! I didn't expect to get my super-special present a week before Christmas and now I am a happy owner of the Sony Ericsson W550i, otherwise known as "the other Walkman phone." All I can say is that it's damn good ~ well, at least better than the basic phone I had before this. What I was thinking before buying: "Oh gee, these unscrupulous merchants have jacked up cellphone prices just because it's Christmas. But since I might spend the money on something else, sige bilhin na nga! (Go ahead, I'll buy it!)" Total damage: 15K at the ... Continue Reading...
In search of a new cellphone
MSS has promised to give me a new cellphone for Christmas and in the meantime I've been busy scouring the shops to fit the $200 budget. Cellphones are quite expensive to have - the good ones would fall within the $300 to $500 price range - yet it's amazing how people would splurge their entire bonuses on these gadgets. The wise among us would surely find this appalling (as opposed to appealing, hehe) A money-conscious geek like would rather invest in jewelry which appreciates over time than a spanking new mobile phone which depreciates after two months (!!!! - note ...
