Canon Pixma Solved My Problem

Hubby came home tonight seeing me work on my children’s practice exam papers. Since I was too busy writing questions in preparation for their quarter exams next week, I couldn’t pay attention to what he’s saying when he entered my study room. Then he left. The next thing I knew is his carrying a big box of Canon Pixma!

This photocopier-printer-scanner solved my problem in printing. Now I don’t need to wait and do all my stuff at school or ask hubby to print copies for me. Together with my Canon Selphy, these two will be perfect match in simplifying my work! Love it!

The World I am Living In

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of NMEDA. All opinions are 100% mine.

Looking at a different perspective, the world is full of uncertainties. I am saying this because not all humans have the same conditions in life. Some are perfectly normal but they do not have enough money to spend for their daily expenses. Some are ultimately rich but their physical condition is not normal, or some are just average and plainly living their lives. I am glad that I am in the middle. Not so rich and not so poor with a perfect health conditions. Blessed in many ways, because I can enjoy my life to the fullest. But that’s not what I want to discuss in my post.

As I go to work and see the surrounding I am living in, I see a lot of handicapped people here in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Most of them were injured during the Polpot’s war in the early 70s. I bet their lives are so hard during those times and food is scarce. The aftermath of the war is visible from the around, impaired legs, blinded eye, amputated arm, and more. Life is not normal for them anymore and I wonder how the government helps them to improve their way of living.

Conducting a short research about this, I have learned that there are organisations like NMEDA who is a qualified dealer who promotes safe driving and equipment for disabled people. No two people with a disability are exactly the same. Therefore they may have different needs especially in driving. Beware of adapted wheelchair vehicles sold over the Internet or through catalogs. It is good to have an evaluation first and you can be sure you are getting the right driving solution customized to your specific lifestyle and needs. If you need additional training or product refinements, your NMEDA dealer is there to help you.
Quality Assurance Program (QAP) is the only nationally recognized accreditation program for the Adaptive Mobility Equipment Industry. It is based on the principle that in order to satisfy customers consistently, companies must have a systematic and documented approach to quality. NMEDA and QAP works hand-in-hand in this one, rest assured the products that NMEDA promotes are of high standards and quality.

NMEDA is also highly recommended for home cares for elderly people. It is very useful to get them back in life especially in aiding them with their mobility needs.

For more information about this, you can visit nmeda.org and on the homepage you will be able to see a dealer’s locator and type in your ZIP code and see if there is a qualified dealer near you.
I believe they will be of great help and with proper sharing of information, many people will not suffer anymore.

Nokia C6 – Daddy Pong’s Post Anniv Gift to Mommy Jivy

I came home exhausted from today’s work at school. So after checking my emails and internet stuff, I hugged my pillow and slept in the living room, thinking that I could regenerate some lost energy from teaching my students.

Then a tap on my leg woke me up saying we’re going out to buy a new phone. It’s Pong who’s trying to annoy me in the middle of my sleep (mind you it’s only half past six in the evening) and that I have to change clothes fast or else the phone shop will be closed at 7.30!!! Irritated for being awake, I stood on my feet shouting that whatever his purpose is, it’s not funny! I know that our budget is quite limited these days with all the expenditures that we have and buying a new phone is not necessary this time. But he insisted. He always hear me saying how I wanted a Blackberry 9700, so he insisted I should get one.

After a few minutes, we headed to Hakse in Sihanouk (which is owned my by student) and browsed from their stocks. The model that I want is not available, so we chose between android and Nokia. Since I am still on my sleepy mode, my mind’s not working properly to which I will choose. Android’s nice but the one available only has 3mp cam, so I settled with Nokia C6, the white one so we won’t be confused with our phones.

Here’s the full review of Nokia C6

Daddy Pong,

Thanks for the post anniversary gift! I’m still lazy to personalise my new phone but in a while, you’ll see me working with it. Most of all, I am not only happy with the material things that you’re giving me, I am more happy and content with your never failing surprises to me and my family. Tama ka nga…di mo man ako nabigyan ng ring, nag riring naman yun natanggap ko galing sayo, hahaha! Thank you so much!!! Utang muna ang regalo ko sayo

Plants vs Zombies

New Year new game!

To keep myself out of boredom (is it really boring or I am just saying it to make an excuse to do something else? lols) I downloaded Plants vs Zombies a couple of nights ago. It was my sister Chele who mentioned and got addicted with this game first. She works with Dell in the Philippines as a Tech Support (where she gets good dimes every payday:P) and right after work she plays this game all by herself! She even mentioned that she only sleeps for a few hours so she can spend time playing, hahaha!

So what’s the game all about ey?

All you need to do is to plant as many peashooters and other kinds of plants to destroy the zombies coming on your way. Of course there are different kinds of armour that you can use and it all depends on the kind of zombies you’re going to destroy. Plants vs Zombies also has different types of games to play. It has the main game, adventure, mini-games, and puzzles. The last three parts can only be played if you’ve gained enough experience from the main game, so you’d better play well to enjoy other parts of it

Since I only have limited time to play this (hello, I go to work from Mon-Fri and does many chores at house), I try to keep things out of my way so no one can disturb me, hahaha! I even get nervouswhen I am being attacked big time by the opponents! I can feel the blood rushing through my face when I am beaten, hahaha!

At school, my students got hooked as well, a good number of them are playing it at home and whenever they get together, they always talk about the levels and experience they gained. One rule I have given to them which I hope they’re doing is to finish all their homework first before getting down with the zombies…it’s difficult to be blamed after their addiction.

To play, download the full version using torrent. Pop Cap is selling it and I’ve been a cheeky one not to buy follow this link and enjoy the game Cheers!

NASA to Bomb the Moon

NASA’s on full blast as they set to bomb the moon at approximately 4:30 a.m. and 4:34 a.m. PDT on Friday October 9, 2009 (and that is today ). NASA will also have a television coverage beginning at 3:15 a.m, so better stay tuned for the updates

The goal of this mission is to search for water ice on the moon . Remember they had set the Lunar  Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite or LCROSS on its adventure to the moon last June 2009.

This is going to be one big part of history again and there are many who are eagerly waiting for the time to capture this event. For all the photographers out there – prepare your zoom lens now and make sure you have your camera ready

BarCamp Phnom Penh

BarCamp Phnom Penh is coming soon! Yehey!

Chatzones

Nestle’s family is going to US very soon and of course they will miss us terribly. One way to enjoy their stay there is to have a good communication and eventually, find new friends. I found some chat zones that would be helpful for them to be familiar with places.  Ohio chat lines contains interesting topics you can join. This will be fun as there are a lot of new members in the site. This will boost their interest to keep posted on what’s happening in and out of the city.

Direct Satellite TV

What better way can you enjoy your direct TV aside from having more than 265 channels everyday?

Direct Satellite TV is in demand and there is a big percentage of consumers who are enjoying the benefits of easy access and non-intermittent connection.Many of them has switched from Cable to Direct TV Satellite. A wise consumer will automatically find out the advantages of using this new technology and will eventually decide to change for a more efficient service.
