Think before you buy
The rise of Paypal in the Philippines brought so much opportunities to people like me who spend much of our time in the internet. My earnings are now sent through Paypal. It removes the hassles of other methods in sending money. It also made my online shopping a lot more easier.
Last week, I received my first parcel I bought from e-Bay. Of course, I used Paypal to purchase that item. But the question is, “Is it worth the amount I paid for?”

Ateneo Wifi AP List
While browsing for a good WiFi AP at the Ateneo grounds, my Wireless Connection Manager was able to spot the following access points in the Ateneo de Davao University Jacinto Campus grounds.
Most of these access points (or wifi hotspots) are free and open. Though the university president announced that these hotspots are only available on specified hours of the day, we noticed that they don’t follow these schedules. The hotspots are even available during weekends. That gives me a reason to stay in school on Saturdays and Sundays. *wink*
A day to remember
My friend and I was going to his place last week. I had a really bad headache so I told him that if he could stop by a pharmacy so I could buy some medicine. After we bought some medicine, we were on our way back to the car when an old lady came hobbling after us, whispering, “Can you spare me some change?” She tried her best to smile, but still she looked really sad. We gave her the change we had, though it weas not that much and she thanked us.
The situation of these old people makes me mad and sad and ashamed at the same time. Why were they spending their time outside, near a road, even if it’s raining to ask for change? What were the children of these people doing? Why weren’t they taking care of them? Old people should be cared for. Most of them have children and these children should take care of them in anyway they can. They can choose to place them in care homes. These homes are built for the caring of our older citizens. If you do not want to have older people in your household because of reasons such as senility, or taking care of them and small children is too much to handle, then care homes is your choice.
Of Brooms and Vacuum Cleaners
I’m not very keen in cleaning, that is cleaning a whole house. Don’t get me wrong. I clean what I can, but this is usually limited to my workspace and comfort zones (i.e desk and bed). Anyway, this holiday season forced me to the chore as our housekeeper had to go home to her family.
When my family went to do thier business elsewhere, I was left in charge of the house. I started it off watching T.V. but as we all know, there is only so much that one can see on T.V. I started arranging my stuff; folded my clothes, made my bed, throw unnecessary stuffs away. After all that, I’d made quite a mess with the floor: dust, small pieces of paper, staple wires, and bits of debris (pebbles), etc…. I was going for the broom when I spotted our old. rusty, falling apart, vacuum cleaner. I tried to handle it, but that was tough. It had to be held at such a position to keep it running. I gave up on it and used the broom instead. Had trouble with the bits and pieces that wouldn’t be swept with the broom and a harder time with collecting the dust with the dust pan.
When I was done, I surfed the net for vacuum cleaners. One really good site I run across to was Dyson. They have many different kinds of vacuums, such as upright vaccums, cylinders and handhelds. I am particularly intrested in thier handhelds. Their uprights and cylinder suction powers range from about 200 to 280 airwatts. The thing that really interested me the most is the Dyson genuine accessories that you can buy for all thier vacuum cleaners. Some of these accessories are spot cleaners, different kinds of brushes, extended hoses, extra batteries for handhelds, filters, and many more. *sigh* Read more
