Photo Scanning

Before the external hard drive being introduced to me, i used to store all my photos to cd. That's the only way i can save them and not to load up my computer. And besides they are not as big files like what i have now since i am using a DSLR and takes big file in just one picture. But when i got my very first external hard drive and when i about to transfer all my pictures in it, the computer could not read the files that was being stored there and i panicked because i really thought that i would lose all those pictures i got in it. Good thing i was able to retrieve it and finally transferred it to my external hard drive.

Anyway, i also thought i could not trust cd anymore. But when i happened to stumble into a website that does the photo scanning services, i am again happy and gained trust to the cd. In fact, just to make sure i have to back up my storage from my EHD by doing the photo scanning. You can never tell what's gonna happen and if ever i lose or break one thing where i saved all my photos, at least i still got some cd to the rescue.

Packing And Unpacking, So Exhausting

One thing that my friend didn't like about her husband's job, is moving from one place to another. Not to mention they also got kids who's in school and their school surely gets affected because they cannot stay in the same school when they move again. She said that she felt so sorry for her children because they start to make good friends and later on, they will have to leave those dear friends because they have to move again to another place.

Right now they are looking some Calgary apartments for rent so they can temporarily stay there while they are still looking for a house to buy. She said, she is hoping that it will be the last move they are going to do. It's not that she didn't like the place, but the fact that she alone has to do the packing and unpacking soon as they get to the place they are going to move in. That surely is very exhausting for her.

It's already tiring whenever she thinks about organizing everything in the house or apartment they are going to rent. I can only imagine how hard it is for her, i don't think i would like it either. I am glad that my husband don't get to be assigned from one place to the other. That's the least i would want, is to pack and unpack things, and organize the furniture and everything in the house again.

Cool Medical Scrubs

My niece is now an official nurse! And i of course so proud of her! She mentioned to me when we chatted the other day that the clinic she was working to needs a new medical scrubs design. So she asked me if i can suggest her some styles of it. I gave her couple of link of the websites where to find those cool design scrubs. And i am so glad that she liked them. She will surely suggest all those websites that has the color and style they like. Right now, they are wearing the plain colored scrubs which they find it boring and pale.

New House For The Couple

I am so happy for my dearest uncle in California because they finally got the new house they have been dreaming of. Now they are currently shopping discount furniture stores in los angeles so they can beautify their new house. He invited me for the house warming but i am afraid i could not come to celebrate it with them due to my obligations and responsibilities to my kids, especially to my eldest. He goes to school and i have no one to replace me if ever i go there for at least a week. Too bad! Anyway, i am also excited to see the place by just viewing the pictures he will post soon.

Love Birds, Not Angry Birds!

Have you guys played angry birds? Or have you heard about that phone application? Anyway, i became addicted to it for awhile but later on i realized i have to stop playing with it. It's a fun game though, in fact, my son also got hooked up to it as well. So i had to stop him from playing with it too because he keeps on borrowing my phone haha.

Anyway, mainly i opened up this topic because i took a snap of a love birds last spring. We went to the zoo and i was able to take some good shots of the animals out there. Of course the kids had a blast visiting the animal place and was so excited when they saw different kinds of animals. So here's the love birds i was talking about, they surely are love birds, aren't they? Not angry birds! LOL!

Laser Distance

Sure that the technologies are getting better and better everyday. It is more convenient to use and more higher quality performance. I love to see how the world is adapting to it. Mostly everything is already operated by technologies. Just in the store, before, they only have scanner right on top of the cashier's counter. But now they do have the Laser Distance already for them to use whenever they can't use the top counter scanner to scan the items due to the size of it.

When we went to the wholesale store with my friend last weekend, i was just so impressed how the technology can make things easier for us. The laser that the lady used was just so impressive because my friend's cart was way far from her counter. But then she was able to scan the items no problem. She doesn't need to carry the items on top of her counter just to scan heavy and bulky items, all she has to do is point the scanner to the items and it's all good to go.

Pacman Arcade Machine

There will be another fight of our very brave and worldwide champion boxer Manny Pacqiuao again this coming November 12, 2011. And we are all excited for that. We are hoping and so certain that he will win this game again. And for sure there will be lots of good foods again that everyone will prepare while the fight is going on. And because the kids doesn't really care about the fight, the owner of the house (our friend) where we watch the show, bought a pacman arcade machine so the kids can have their own fun thing to do as well.

I am sure the kids are going to have some fun just as good as the parents while watching the fight. This time, i know that my two boys will not ask me to go home early like they always do. Since there will be a machine that will entertain them while we are there, it's rest assured that we all will be going to have a fun night in there. I just can't wait! I am too excited because it has been awhile since our last gathering to that house.

Wedding Industry

Thanks for the guest post by Donn Schroeder

Weddings are a huge industry and when I got out of school I knew I needed to capitalize on it. I was big into graphic design at the time so I started playing around with things like placecards and invitations and save the dates. People my age really love all the cool graphic design stuff you see when you go on Etsy and other sites – it works well for me because I’m not all about the traditional stuff anyway. So I got hooked up with bank card processing so I could take credit card payments and I started making my friends’ wedding invitations and stuff like that. I can’t imagine why people pay so much for these things but they do and you know, at the end of the day I’m only here to make a product. It’s great because I pay my bills and I get to be creative, too, so I don’t really feel bad about charging a premium. Weddings are a rip off no matter where you cut corners so you may as well go all out!
