From GOT Till SIN

First of all, I would like to apologize for not visiting your blogs for the past few days. It’s because me and hubby have been on a long trip from Gothenburg, Sweden to Singapore. The countdown I was referring to on my previous post ended on Sunday and started a new event to share about. This is actually my first time to blog about a trip to my hometown, Davao. I was there two years ago but it was just the same time I discovered WordPress so I wasn’t active in the blogsphere then.

So here I am enjoying my summer trip to Singapore. Hubby and I normally booked a flight from Gothenburg to Singapore and from there booked another flight to Davao. Singapore has been our landmark before proceeding to our final destination. It is because of the direct flight from Singapore to Davao. And hubby worked here in Singapore a long time ago so he’s feeling comfortable here and he knows where to find almost anything. And I, too,liked the city the first I was here five years ago.

Anyhow, the flight this time was almost the same as before. From Gothenburg to Amsterdam took 1 hour and 25 minutes. Then we waited for more than two hours for our flight from Amsterdam to Singapore. That was a 12 hour-flight from 9:30pm and that gave me a little sleep on the plane, thanks to late snacks and late dinner.

We’re staying at St. Regis Hotel for 2 nights. We already did a little shopping today and geez, how time flies! We were’nt able to go to Sentosa Island after shopping. There are a lot of places which I would love to visit again here but 2 days are not enough. I have taken some pictures but I’m running out of time to resize them. Maybe when I have time in Davao, I’ll post some pictures and visit your blogs, too. Tomorrow, we’ll fly to Davao. I can’t wait to see my family again. :-)

SE-W995 Almost Has It All

WiFi ready phones are becoming a must trend in all mobile phones nowadays.  If I have to choose between 3G and WiFi, I’d prefer the latter best.  The foremost reason why is the cost difference between these two mobile internet connections.  I have been mobile browsing with 3G Turbo and there has been no problem with the speed.  But the cost for surfing is relatively high.  If I have to surf for 9sek a day for 30 days, that will add 270sek to my monthly bill.  But with WiFi that’s everywhere, it costs almost nothing.  Or nothing at all.

Anyway, here’s another WiFi ready phone from Sony Ericsson, if you’re into switching to a new one.  This Sony Ericsson W995 almost has it all in one package.  What’s missing is the touch screen feature and perhaps other top Internet phones features.  You may tell what’s missing with the specs below.

Sony Ericsson W995 features:
-  8.1 MP camera with flash, auto focus and image stabilizer
-  8GB M2 card included
-  MP3, Radio with RDS (Walkman mobile phone)
-  2,6 inch-screen
-  YouTube™ program
-  a-GPS
-  WiFi™ certified

Gone Too Soon

Incidentally, Michael Jackson’s Gone Too Soon song can now be dedicated to him. Life’s irony cannot be anticipated and it’s sometimes painful, sorrowful. Michael’s supposed to be concert tour in England in July could have been his revanche for the lost years. The 750,000 tickets were sold in minutes and with this huge crowd, his career could have been revived. He said it would be his last concert tours and then no more, but ironically, his life ended so soon and there would be no concerts, not anymore. May he rest in peace…

The tall and short, lol!

When I am in all spirit to sing any song and without thinking which, the songs “I Just Can’t Stop Loving You” and “Heal The World” easily get me into the tune. These are not my favorite songs, but the lyrics and the melody have been stucked in my head like forever. We all know that Michael Jackson had left quite a number of phenomenal songs. Which one do you remember well? Except the Thriller, everybody who grow up with Michael Jackson knows it’s unforgettable.
