It takes me approximately one day to get a hardware working decently, and about 3 hours of use to break it and attempt to fix it and fail, again.

The cycle never ends, really.

It all started with a scanner. I decided I want to start drawing, and process those drawings digitally via SAI Paint Tool, but I couldn’t get the scanner to work since I don’t have the proper driver for it.

I had to look for manuals online, and for a decent source for a driver without a virus (which I’m not very good at, to be honest)..

After a while I tried to see if my old webcam still worked. It took me such a long time to get it working only to realize that the lenses were broken and I could even hardly recognize my face from the camera.

I decided to get Royal Imaging document scanning services instead of having to fix stuff manually mainly because of two reasons:

1) I’m lazy.
2) So far, their services have never failed to make me happy.

You should try them out, if you’re as lazy as me. Five stars!

As early as now, I am already planning for the Halloween  party that I am hosting this year. It has been a tradition in the family to host these events. We have a rotation every year and annual events are distributed to every adult member of the family. This is a very good practice to keep the family ties. This way we will always have the chance to visit everyone’s homes once every year.

So here, I am planning my party starting with a theme. The theme is always the first thing you think about because it will set your goals plus you will know what design to use in your Halloween invitations.

This year, I plan to have a fairy theme. I have always been a fan of the Tinkerbell series. Plus I think that the kids would really look cute with fairy wings and not the traditional chain saw massacre costumes. Hmm… I wonder what I will prepare for dinner then?

There are a number of ways to slim down. Best way is to do sports. And when I sports I meant athletic sports (and not chess). For as long as you will sweat a lot, then it is good enough. Another way is to do some fasting. This is perhaps the hardest. This requires some powerful meditation and perhaps a jail to keep you from buying a quarter pounder from the nearest Mc Donalds. Another way, is to use slimming pills. I personally think of this as a desperate approach. For instance you have two months to slim down because you have a bikini pageant to join. I have never tried this approach before but my friends always suggest it to me.

Doing some research, I usually find the brand Lipofuze as a very effective pill. I want to give it a try but as a rule, I would consult my doctor first. One of my friends tried at and said it worked for her, but I want to be sure so I’ll have a consultation first.

Yesterday, my two-year-old Casio Exilim digital camera passed away. Actually I broke it. Left it in my pants then threw the pants in the washer. Great job huh. Our company outing is next week but I do not have a camera. How am I supposed to get candid shots of my drunk boss then?

So here I am, browsing through so many review sites hoping that they really tell the truth about the product. I normally do this first before I go to the mall and buy. This way I can have detailed information about the product I am interested in. I used to just ask the sales person but then they usually just lie to the customers just to sell. I learned my lesson, so better do some research first.

Since yesterday morning I have been reading reviews. I feel I have read so much information that I could probably sell better than a sales agent. Anyhow, I have narrowed down my results to about ten brands. One of them, a fuji finepix. It is time to see the cameras personally.

My sister will be visiting her optometrist tomorrow, because she’s having a lot of trouble watching a movie without tearing up involuntarily.

My mother started worrying and set up an appointment with our family doctor immediately. She also made appointments for all of us.

As we previously paid visits to our doctor, she recommended me to get glasses because my job requires me to get in front of a computer for a long period of time, and it’s not too good for my eyesight.

I started looking for cheap eyeglasses that don’t sacrifice the quality for the price, and I can say that google really is my best friend!

Do you have any cheap brands to recommend? Please feel free to comment on this post. :)

Out of all our basic needs, food and water may be the two most important. With that in mind, people have thought of so many ways to store food and water to lengthen the life of these needs, so as not to waste them.

I admit. I am currently taking adapexin-p. Well, who can blame me? Summer is fast approaching and all the fats I gained since Thanksgiving are still on my belly. Well I did do something I should not have done. I took the diet pill without any consultation from my doctor. Surely, if he finds out about this, he’ll be histerical. Oh by the way, my Dad is MY doctor.

Anyhow, it’s not that I did not consult him or anything. I told him about my problem and his advice was “Calorie out must be greater than Calorie in”. However my eagerness to always eat seem to be triggered by stress at work. Excercise is not an option either, all the strict deadlines keeps me stuck in my chair at work. But it seems the diet pill works for me. That is a good thing I believe.
