1) Take a picture of yourself right NOW!.
2) DON’T change your clothes, DON’T fix your hair… Just take a picture.
3) Post that picture with NO editing.
4) Post these instruction with your picture.
I hope my baby likes this photo. Am wearing a new shirt that we bought last weekend, and just sitting in front of my office notebook.

My New Wallpaper
Every now and then I'd also do some scrapping with pictures that I've taken. Of course they would be of my kids and my wife. And most often than now, the final product ends up to be my new wall paper on my work computer.
It's bad enough that I don't have a permanent desk to put a photo frame on; so it is very handy indeed to be able to have their photos on hand or on my deskstop. Here is the new wallpaper on my deskstop. It's some of the recent photos I took of the family. They're featured on my Flickr account.

To See Better is To Believe
It is never easy to find $ 8 Complete Rx Eyeglasses especially from online stores. You'd have to go crazy all over shopping malls to be able to get hold of decent eyeglasses that are also cheap. You can go ahead, and do a search for online stores; but The popular online eyeglasses shop is just a click away.

Zenni Optical is the best place to see better. You would really see better if you can get Holiday Glass Frames From Zenni Optical at really affordable prices. And you'd better believe it.

The Choices We Make
When I went on to start blogging, I've always been undecided with either going for the free hosting services available or would I establish myself in as a unique individual with my on domain name. The choice isn't as simple as choosing which movie to watch. Well even that could be confusing sometimes. Of course, this is one of those choices that we make that could make or break our existence in the web.
There are pros and cons on both sides. The first one being that the free service is free; but what do you really get from a free service. It's obvious that you have to be tied with them and your site would need to advertise them or their partners constantly. These of course are distractions from your sites' purpose, unless you were paid for having them there. On the other hand, you would need to spend on your own domain, but it's probably worth it. You can choose the name of your site, and you will defnitely have control over the content.
But the biggest factor for a paid service is choosing the provider. Web hosting doesn't come cheap, but you'd have to be sure with whom you pay for the service. Of course, everything is done online, you'd need to have both patience and trust to acquire the services of a website hosting provider. Well, to make your choice easier, you'd need to know who are the top website hosts out there. This is where web hosts' ratings or reviews come in handy. You'd get the information you need to make an informed choice on web hosts.

Little Big Thing
With the recent announcement of NAMCO to go for the multi Next Gen Console market with Tekken; I have tried to turn my attention to other factors that would make me go either way. Of course the choices are a PS3 or an Xbox 360. Can't really afford both, so I need to choose wisely.
I've heard and read about the pros and cons on both sides; and frankly, Tekken 6 was the only driving factor for me back then. I wouldn't really care about the other games, since my kids are content with the Wii; I needed to have something for my own. As a serious gamer, I find a lack of serious titles to go on with the Wii. It's probably just the difference in game play, since the Wii is more of a family or group oriented console. I've recently tried the new NBA Live 2009 on the Wii, and I got really bored with it. I may come back to it next time, but the odd thing is that I enjoy the Monkey Ball Banana Blitz game over it.
Anyways, I've recently caught a glimpse of something that would potentially tip me back to the PS3. Aside from the recent article that I read about ease of memory upgrade for the PS3, I also got curious about the new exclusive title Little Big Planet. It's a unique and new game where you can immerse yourself in your own world. You define the rules, and you define the gameplay. This I find interesting in that it could so much fun. Aside from a very high rating from IGN, this game looks like a brand new classic in the making. I'm now convinced that I would definitely be getting a PS3 soon.

Sensible Eyewear
During these times of financial crisis, it doesn't make sense to buy expensive things. I mean, let's face it. We will have to set aside the want for those luxury items or play things that we would normally buy when we have extra cash. We would also often choose the more expensive variety of things that we really need. Take food for example. We often choose a more expensive type of fish or fruit because they just seem to be better than the cheaper variety. But in these times, it wouldn't be sensible to do such things. We need to be smarter in spending our hard earned dollar.
Well, there are also decisions that we would have to make for our health. Take eyeglasses for instance. A lot of us need to wear them; but do we really need to wear one that cost heaps? There are always cheaper options, and functionality wise; they are all the same. Of course, you would also want something that will suit you. You don't have to spend heaps to see clearly, and still look great. Well, you don't have to look very far to get sensible eyewear. You can go to ZenniOptical.com to get an idea on how much you could save, and maybe have to spend on other important things.

Top Entrecard dropper of the month


Random Thoughts of an insoMIAHThis is the first time this blog have to acknowledge entrecard dropper. I forgot last month and you know I don't usually open this blog because this belongs to my man. You heard me right. This is not the owner writing this post. Guess who? I just registered this blog to my ec account since I'm given access. The owner of this blog is very hardworking and busy with his programming work at Oracle. He rarely post article as well. He's inconsistently blogging for three years. I'm just the one forcing him to get active. I have the right lol! Enough for this because I'm just an intruder here. Thank you very much for dropping you card guys and HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
