The Genius MousePen i608 Graphic Tablet is available for around US$65. Let's see if I'm gonna be able to get my money's worth over the next few weeks. Surely I can do better than juvenile scribbles, doodles and stick figures...
I've been living off one of them cheap disposable phones for a few weeks now because I couldn't decide which sort of proper phone I should get -- a blackberry, an iphone or a new nokia. Well, the iPhone 3Gs won't come out for a few more days here in the third world and I've been itching for a new phone. After two weeks of deliberation (what deliberation), I bought myself a Nokia N97.
I love my wallpaper! Before you slam me, who else would I put there? YOU? Kate Moss? My mother? Your mother? Think about it.
I've spent the past three days customizing EVERYTHING. Changed the wallpaper, ring & text message tones (hence the Anna Wintour set), installed tons of software, email, facebook and twitter apps, uploaded some of my mp3s and videos.
It's a lot of work but a gurl's gotta do what she has to do... which is why I haven't done anything at all last week. Seriously. It took me a huge chunk of time "training" this thing and if some nasty French thief tries to steal my baby away from me (like what they did to my poor e71 in Paris), rest be assured a baby unicorn will die in her sleep.
Now the $64 million question is... am I gonna cover the thing with Swarovski crystals? The answer is no. I don't want my new baby to be the JonBenet Ramsey of the mobile phone world so no, no Swarovski crystals for me.
My new (public) number is: +63.927.350.7453.To all my contacts, please pop me a note with your name so I can put you on my address book. I don't have everyone's phone numbers on my (old) list.
Also, please disregard my previous 915 cellphone number. I do have a private number but that's for me, friends and family.
Thanks!
Would you pay US$1,120 for a 16GB iPhone 3G?
VOMITROCIOUS!
Have you seen the Philippine Daily Inquirer article? Globe Telecom is about to launch the new iPhone 3G here in the cesspit of the third world. If you are a pre-paid subscriber, the 8GB unit is priced at P41,899 (US$960) or P48,899 (US$1,120) for the 16GB model. The price of the phone drops (depending on your plan) if you're subscribing to a postpaid account.
Whatever happened to Steve Jobs' plan in making the iPhone more accessible to everyone? I've gone through god knows how many phones over the years and all but one had a happy ending. Surprisingly, the only working phone that I'm still using to this date is my trusty (and crusty) old nokia which I've had for what... 4 years? I don't know anymore.
Back to the new iPhone... I think I'd rather get a liposuction thanks very much.
Sushi USB
Speaking of sushi, check out this kitschy kitschy ya-ya da-da sushi USB flash drive I saw at Urban Outfitters the other day. For those of you out there looking for an eye-catching, portable storage space for files, dizz iz it!
The USB sushi comes in two types -- salmon roe and tuna. Aren't they cute? My friend told me they look disgusting (this is coming from a woman who spent a lot of her youth jetting back and forth to Japan) but I love them!
There's a massive sale going on at Urban Outfitters so be sure to visit their site. Clothing and accessories aside, I personally like browsing their "Apartment" area because that's where all the kitschy gadgets are. Go!
Canon G9 Camera
It's about time I put my trusty 2-year old camera to retirement. Everyone I know seems to have a Canon G9 Camera

I should get my new camera any day now and I hope I made the right choice. I've had Sony digital cameras for years. I think now is a good time to try Canon. We'll see. :-)
Technology Schmology
The universe must be sending me a sign when my ginormous 17-inch Sony Vaio died a few weeks ago. That ginormous baby is about 3 years old, which is pretty much geriatric -- a senior citizen -- in technology terms. I know I could easily go to the Sony service center here, get it fixed and give it an upgrade but the amount of time, money and patience I'm gonna end up spending is not worth it. Giving old computers an upgrade is like giving an 80 year old bitch a botox and a face-lift. No amount of nip, tuck, pulling and stretching can bring an old hag back to her former glory. I'd rather buy a brand new one. In fact, I have another HP laptop I got about a year and a half ago and I'm already sick of it.
Imagine my surprise when I saw the Olga Sherer of notebook computers at the mall a few days ago. I had to stop, gawk and admire that little skinny piece of shit like Michael Biserta's huge cockerel piece and the guys gone wild girl bitches who screamed OWWWW MYYYYYY GAWWWWWWD.
Sony Vaio
And OOWWWW MYYYY GAWWWD I bloody screamed indeed.
That thing is probably made out of cardboard... you never know. HAHAHAHA. I didn't go inside the store because I know myself and my spending habits. I'm such an impulse buyer! While we all buy fashion and accessories thinking about the short term, computers, on the other hand, require special attention. The way I look at it is this: buying technology is like trying to find buying a boyfriend. The same rules apply whenever we go out there and try to find ourselves a decent man. Not that I buy guys, I'm wayyy too gorgeous for that shit. Last time I checked, I still get cruised by old farts... I have a big market out there! Hot sex pays me not the other way around if you know what I mean.

Bang & Olufsen + Louis Vuitton
I got a message from one of my little birdies about the new Louis Vuitton MP3 player aka BeoSound 2 (in conjunction with Bang & Olufsen).
I know BEO launched Serene Mobile a couple of months back but little did I know about the new MP3 player.
Ugh!
Here I am thinking I'm gonna stay away from Louis Vuitton (and their temptations) for awhile but if they keep on coming up with stuff like this, I'd say screw it.
Gimme, gimme, gimme, buy! buy! buy!
