Just like to take this opportunity to greet you a Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year on this coming 2010. Forget all those worries in a moment and thank God that we still have our being and good health. For those who are not on their best health, at least we are alive. And life is a miracle indeed. Honestly I don’t consider Dec 25 as the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ because history revealed the origin of this belief, which came from the Roman pagan religion that celebrated the birth of the son of virgin Nana named Attis. For more info you can check it out here.
Also, the Bible tells us the story when Christ was born and there are sheep outside the field and if we associated it with the month of December, it is obvious that the season is winter. Those sheep will freeze to death if the shepherds will let those sheep outside. Since we are so accustomed to this belief, I’m only telling about the reality of the true birthday of Jesus Christ just for information only and it’s up to you how will you embrace this. But as for me, I still celebrate it for tradition only and set apart religious belief. So one again just enjoy your Christmas and the coming New Year hoping it will be a prosperous one!
I was lucky enough to have an Acer laptop (Aspire 4720z) although not the latest model, at least one of my mini business plan came to a realization. Actually it was given to me by my sister-in-law who was working in Dubai. I guess she was fed up on all my whining about how hard it is to make ends meet because me and my wife are taking care of her son and my mother-in-law. I was not expecting anything from her, just to give what is due to her son and my mother-in-law so it will not be hard for me to make ends meet. So much for that. And about the laptop, I can say that it is stylish and doesn’t look cheap even though this is cheaper compared to other laptops I’ve seen.
Not really for gamers but most of the games like Yahoo! games can run with this rig. Maybe graphic intensive games can run satisfactorily but it might be slow and can overheat. In my observation, overheating causes this laptop to hang aside from Firefox that slows down the shutdown specially if you have Zone Alarm installed in Windows Vista. The trick is to shut the Zone Alarm first before hitting the shutdown button.
I assume that every Filipino is dreaming of winning the Philippine Lotto because this will surely change the lives on whoever the winning numbers have landed to. I’m not ashamed to admit that I’m an avid Philippine Lotto fan but not to the extent that I will sacrifice everything just to place a bet. It’s just my way of escaping from the reality of hardship. Specially now that I’m drowning in debts. Not because I’m luxurious and always buying every latest gizmos in the market. In fact I only have one child but I’m not only supporting my family but also an extended family. You know what I mean. So buying a lotto ticket is like buying hope. I remember when I was with my co worker which also became my friend when we were talking about cosmetics. He said women are not buying those beauty stuffs like make-up, lipsticks or whatever women put on their skin or faces for them to become beautiful but they are buying them to have “hope” on becoming beautiful. He he, no pun intended.
So people who buy lotto tickets, specially those who think like me are just doing it to buy hope. I always think the odds are too great to win the lotto, and only “hope” that luck will smile at me. I read an interesting post on zdiaz.com regarding the odds of winning and it was computed as 49 x 48 x 47 x 46 x 45 x 44 = 10,068,347,520 for 6/49 Philippine Lotto. You can surely win if you will bet every combination on that 10 billion and by multiplying it by 20 pesos, you need 201,366,950,400 pesos. If I have that amount of money, I don’t need to bet on any lotto!
Are you always late going to work and your manager or supervisor are always scolding you and giving you disciplinary actions? When I was still working I hate to admit that I always get to the office late because of the not so very good condition of our traffic. It was also very hard to commute and even if you have your own car you can’t get through the traffic jam because of the road condition (e.g. narrow highways, undisciplined motorists and pedestrians, unending road constructions etc. etc.). Not only that, when I imagine that I’ll gonna see my boss again in the office, I wish I could freeze time.
Now I found out what is the real reason why I’m always late. Look at the picture below……
Almost another year is over and 2009 is approaching…fast! And I’m gonna be one year older soon. So what are our plans next year? business plans? new year’s resolution? But one thing I suppose you are thinking about, it is for the better. Hoping that the economic crisis is over soon. So with that I wanted to greet you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! This coming 2009! Hope you like the Christmas card below.
