Wishing and Waiting

Uso ata ang mga wishlist ngayon kasi malapit ng magpasko. I’ve seen one from Mang Paul Deng Bed and maybe 3 others while bloghopping. I don’t really have a wishlist but there are some things I’m looking forward to doing in December.

1. Reading my books. Not my textbooks, I’m so freaking tired of them hehehe. But my novels, my stories, the fun books.
2. Watching Korean movies/series. Miss ko na.
3. Going to the movies.
4. Moving! Finally! Oi baka majinx hehehe.
5. Oversleeping, watching TV, relaxing, being slow and lazy, doing nothing at all, without the nagging guilt at the back of my mind.

What I really want is relief from the stress of school and TIME for myself to do whatever. Okay, so maybe I want material things, too…

1. Books and DVDs from my Amazon wish list and my other hidden wish list.
2. A big bookshelf. Para akong magtatayo ng library hehehe.
3. New computer chair. Yung gamit ko sira na tela ng upuan, tanggal na mga rubber na lining yata yun, tapos isa isa natatanggal mga gulong.
4. A good coffeemaker and a stove top grill.

Hmmm…that’s it. I would only allow myself to think of things that are possible (and practical) for me to acquire. My favorite shows will be back in January, too. Yay! Perfect timing. I can’t wait, especially for Burn Notice.

Amazon Associate Program

Hello. I just made a few, quick changes on my second sidebar. I joined the Amazon Associate Program so anytime someone purchases something from Amazon through my site, I get a little something something hehehe. So if you’re feeling generous… :)

I also added my wishlist. Wala lang.

I don’t really expect to earn a lot here. I’m just a big fan of Amazon.





Kindle vs. Books

I love technology but…

Amazon’s Kindle makes me sad. I know it’s convenient and the e-books are cheaper but I’m not convinced, yet, that this cold device can give me the same satisfaction that books can provide.

Just to be fair, here are features of Kindle that makes it attractive…somewhat:
- Simple to use: no computer, no cables, no syncing.
- Wireless connectivity to Amazon store without subscription.
- Long battery life. With wireless on, recharge is approximately every other day. With wireless off, more than a week.
- Your purchases are delivered in less than a minute.
- You can download newspaper or magazine subscriptions to the device.
- Access to blogs, Wikipedia, and a dictionary.
- Did I say cheaper books?

Naisip ko pa kung lahat ng tao gagamit ng ganito, masisave ang paper therefore masisave ang trees hehehe. It’s pretty convincing from a technical point of view but…nah…because I love:
- the smell of new and old books.
- the weight of a book in my hand.
- the excitement or suspense of the turn of a page.
- beautiful, scary, even embarrassing book covers and book art.
- looking at my cluttered room and bookshelf.

Call me old-fashioned. I’ll pick the stack of books over Kindle anytime.
