Delayed Gratification
I have an itch... and I have been fighting real hard not to give in and scratch this fucker.
Hehehe.. sabay pasok ng..
The urge to buy and build a new PC is getting harder to ignore. And to further prove that fate has a twisted sense of humor, I have had several people around me buy theirs just this past few weeks. I gave them the specs I had in mind for my build. I even helped them pick out most of the components. And this weekend, I might even assemble one as the parts will be available by then.
Arghh.. I could, but I won't... not yet.
I had a consult with my financial advisor with this proposal hoping for a signoff... the answer was a simple but terrifyingly firm "NO". Quoting the great Oprah in saying that I should clear all debts first before acquiring new ones. Besides, it's not as if I don't have anything to use, there's my 5yr old lolo rig, and a heavily molested work laptop.
So, my HTPC/Gaming rig will have to wait...

Inner Peace
Get it? In-ear peace? Hahaha. Ok, that was bad... but a good way to start the post.
Tamby auditioned my recently purchased earphones, I know, germophobes look away, we swapped ear waxes! He is currently thinking of upgrading his own set. Asking me for recommendations, feedback, etc..
As with most things, more expensive translates to better quality.
So first order of business, what kind of ears do you have? Are they sensitive enough that even minor sound artifacts drive you insane? Or are they of the average type?
If you have demanding ears (audiophile level), better save up first as you will not be pleased with the mid-range options (mostly priced 3K-6K). Acceptable sets will set you back 10K minimum (Etymotic, Ultimate Ears, Shure, etc...).
But if you have normal ears and if you are on a budget, the not-so-low-end options should do.
I am pretty happy with my set, I tested it alongside other earphones I have (the cheap ones of course), and I was ok with the balance it had. Bass is thumpy, highs are somewhat present but the mids are a bit lacking. With a price tag of 1.6K, I couldn't complain.
My advice to Tamby, line up the cheap ones first... the important thing with noise isolating earphones aside from the drivers are the tips. Make sure it fits snugly on your ears as this eliminates the ambient noise (it should also be comfortable enough for extended use). Then, listen to the sound, being somewhat enclosed, it should have been tweaked to compensate for that natural muffled sound. I know this doesn't help much, but listening is purely subjective... what may sound good to me may sound terrible for you.
Here's what I got:
Philips SHE9700
Specs are HERE
While choosing from the Philips line, this stood out because of the angled acoustic pipe design which supposedly results in better fidelity and less distortion.
Good luck on your hunt for your great sounding budget earphones!

Bee-Time
Need to take a break from work and wind down before I go to sleep. So here are some viral vids...
Without the music video, I wouldn't have taken interest in this song.
Here's the gay version.. (it's amazing how he timed and mimicked her moves and finished the entire thing on one take, no cuts in a cramped space!)
Here's the original by Gwen Verdon using the trademark Fosse moves.. (mute this and play it over Beyonce's)
Here's the spoof/skit done by SNL...
And finally, since the holiday season is fast approaching and we just did a Timberlake on SNL... (this one still cracks me up, classic!)
Wait, SNL... Classic? Then I'd have to throw this in...
This could go on and on but for now..

Mobility
Ahh, the wonders of technology...
Right now, I am currently on a place with no wifi provisions, no LAN cables for broadband, and no phone jacks for dial-up... so this is the perfect opportunity to try out mobile internet using my cellphone. Yep, this has been around for a long time but I have just recently got my hands into one of those phones with 3G plus modem capability... so indulge me. Hehehe.
After setting up the required software and config for both the laptop and the phone,
I just hook up my phone to the laptop (through bluetooth or usb) and hit connect.
Once connected, the first site I visited was...
SPEEDTEST! hehehe.
Not bad... for 10 pesos for 30 mins (that's the Globe rate according to my officemate, not sure about Smart), this is a respectable speed and price.
Another excuse for not being able to work eliminated.

Sidetrip: Baguio
Here was the plan:
- Wake up early for those who want to surf still.
- We should be ready to leave by 9:30
- Grab a quick breakfast at Midway.
- Be on our way up Baguio by 10:30.
Here's what happened:
- I woke up at 9:30. (Had some coffee and some chit-chat to go with it) Hehehe.
- Headed for breakfast at around 11:30.
- On the road to Baguio at about 12:30.
We got there at around 2:30 and headed straight to... where else, SM!
Waited for Rommel's friend, our tour guide at Koffia (yummy muffins!)
hmmm shots..
Pictorials...
Next stop...
Emotees
more people please... 1...2...3...4...5

Jump shots..
Dinner at Carlo's Pizza
After this we headed home. We left Baguio at around 8:00 and got to NLEX at 11:30 for a stopover and got back to SMPC at around 12mn. I had to shave some time off our travel down through overtaking and a wee bit speed. This is Ria threatening to hang herself if I don't ease up. I caved and it came to a point when I had to ask clearance first if I wanted to pass somebody.
'till our next adventure... Rose, does your offer still stand? Hehehe. Pagiipunan ko na?
