I now believe that as we age, more and more worries sprouts in our life. I miss my childhood days when I agonizes over silly and childish things like lost toys or food that I don’t desire.

As I age and as my responsibility adds up, my worries grows too. Just some weeks back, I was seriously considering getting a health insurance for all of us in the family. I realized that when anyone of us gets sick, I am totally unprepared for expenditures it entails. None of us have a health card that would help ease the burden of having a sick member of the family.

I was also thinking of getting a funeral insurance plan. I’ve been to a lot of wakes in the last months and I’ve realized that death is inevitable as well as costly. It’s ironic that I’m actually thinking about these things right now when I grew up with parents who were not even members of the social security system or SSS. Both my parents do not have a pension, any insurance, any properties or even savings.

Apple Macbook Air. The thinnest and what I see as the sleekest laptop that is not just pretty but loaded with features.

In Wireless headphones

The Sennheiser MXW1 from Kleer wireless technology with earbuds and is considered as the best wireless headphone around today. I hope it would soon be available in the Philippines so I can take a look. Just a look because It is quite expensive for my budget.

In the range of Point-and-shoot Cameras

My son keep on badgering me for weeks now to buy him a new watch. I have bought him watches in the past but since those watches were cheaply priced, they were immediately useless after less than a month.

Since Christmas is close, I am thinking of giving him a quality watch as a gift. In my rounds to malls though, I have not yet found range of Seiko watches for kids. This time, I wanted to buy him a quality watch which he would be able to use for a long time.

What I usually see in stores are fashion and character watches for kids but I wanted to buy him something that is quite sporty and not too childish looking. I hope that watch brands like Seiko would manufacture that sort. My son is really a sweet boy. He deserves the best.

Christmas is coming and so are festivities to celebrate this special day. One of the practices during this season is gift-giving. Giving out promotional business gifts are expected from companies promoting their products or services. In many cases anyway, these promotional items are simply thrown to garbage cans because they are not useful or worth keeping.

It is very important to note that since these give-aways are meant to promote a product or service, it should be designed with functionality so the bearer would not think of throwing or giving it away.

Since the world is becoming more and more dependent to technology these days, it is significant to look at techno gadgets or equipment as a promotional gift idea. Here is a list of useful and inexpensive gadgets that may be considered as give away this Christmas:

• USB or flash drive or memory stick. Used to be very expensive. I bought my first 256MB USB at P1,600.00. Now, a 1GB stick only costs around P300 to P700.

• Portable LED Reading Clip Light. I bought one at Divisoria for only P35.00 but the quality of the battery is so poor the light dimmed after 15 minutes only. The pen light was so useful especially for night reading. If your company would be able to source out a higher quality clip pen light, this gift item would be a hit.

• Multi-function Kits like this mirror-card-reader in one. Very fashionable and truly a winner!

 My family watched the Halloween parade and contest in Marikina last October 31. We immensely enjoyed watching the horrible creatures from the dark as well as the beautiful creatures from the fantasy world.

Still a coward  at his age, my son still has to outgrow his fear of evil characters even if he’s assured they’re just impersonators wearing masks. Look at this photo and see how he looks uncomfortable being close to the “crab monster” as he puts it.

Everyday, my fondness for Google grows. Today, it’s more than overflowing.

Google announced the use of a new technology in their search engine that would allow users to search the world wide web for PDF files. Good news right! This would definitely make researching online easier as many credible authors and reliable documents are uploaded in the internet in PDF format to protect the source.

Using an optical character recognition software or the OCR technology, PDF files will be indexed and searched and may be used for Google Book Search, a helpful news for those who love reading ebooks in PDF format.
