The white 13-inch MacBook.
I’m in for an upgrade.
Sooner or later, I will trade my desktop from Jurassic age to a more trendy and sleek ready-to-go MacBook. This has always been one of my greatest dreams, and I think it is about to come true.
Look what’s inside:
MacBook White
2.0GHz
* Intel Core 2 Duo
* 2GB DDR2 Memory
* 120GB hard drive1
* NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics
* Standard keyboard
* White polycarbonate shell
Priced between Php60k and Php63k.
I’ve chosen MacBook over Sony Vaio for obvious purposes. I’ve always expressed inclination towards the arts. And I don’t like being harassed by viruses.
How I get to afford it is only top secret. But it is no secret that I will use the laptop to accomplish tremendous amount of workload wherever I am. Having a MacBook these days may indicate class or social structure but, hey, I am practically driven by more important things other than to show off. The landscape of corporate life has drastically changed so much these days that you can hold office even at a donut store.
I have to tighten my belt this year, postpone certain purchases like the new tv stand and a Sony Ericsson unit. Out-of-town trips will have to go on without me until I’m back on my toes financially sound.
Two books turned into movies, He’s Just Not That Into You and Confessions of a Shopaholic, top next week’s pre-Valentine film line-up.
Jennifer Connelly, Scarlett Johansson, Jennifer Aniston, Ben Affleck, Justin Long, and Ginnifer Goodwin star in the movie version of Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo’s bestselling book that tackles relational issues between genders. In the film, a woman confused by the men in her life pursues the advise of a columnist who apparently is on the same dilemma.
Sophie Kinsella’s bestseller “Confessions of a Shopaholic” takes the screen with Isla Fisher playing the lead role as Rebecca Bloomwood. Rebecca is a 25 year old who lives with her best friend Suze (Krysten Ritter), has a very boring job writing for a financial magazine and a shopping addiction that led to an ever-growing debt. Funny twists and turns happen as Rebecca tried to find ways to pay-off her obligations and cut back on her spending.
There are still more exciting films to watch out for like Australia and Valkyrie. (Hmm…turns out ex-couple Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman’s films are about to clash head-on.) I still have to watch Underworld next week and Fireproof movie on DVD that stars Kirk Cameron, the heartthrob from my high school years (hehe).
Currently on top of my read log is “He’s Just Not That Into You”. (I still have to finish Eclipse…ho-hum.) It’s on an e-book format I got somewhere for free. If you want a copy before you see the movie, you can now download it here and the required viewer to open an rgo file extension.
We all know that the Wall Street crisis has already reached our shores these days and companies have been either cutting costs or closing down. If you’re a blogger, here’s a little extra to keep you afloat.
My friend needs a number of bloggers for a market research project. You will be compensated for your time and effort. Here are the profile of bloggers we’re looking for:
- has an existing active blog, at least 3 months old
- specializes in any blog topic or category
- resides in the Philippines
- should be 18 to 29 years old
If you’re the person we’re looking for, please email me your links and a short bio about yourself to elyenita@hotmail.com or ellen@portraithouse.net. Understand that they have to screen bloggers first before they decide on getting you on this project. If you haven’t received a reply from us in two weeks time, you know what that means.
And also if you’re a food/restaurant blogger, I have a separate project in mind. No age requirement though as long as you’re in Metro Manila. Just send in a short bio, your site’s link and web traffic details.
