Tommy Kane
Posted on October 31, 2006 by Ching under Flickr.
Okay, I just have to share this because it’s the biggest thing to ever happen to me in a while. This is the coolest birthday gift ever and I don’t even think he knew it was my birthday. Tommy Kane just added me as a contact on Flickr!
Of course, I don’t just reciprocate anymore because my list has gotten completely out of hand. So I checked out his profile, which led me to his web site, which led me to realize this is THE Tommy Kane! Holy cannoli! I hit a gold mine! As you would have guessed I reciprocated by friending him.
He is so good, ya’ll! You just have to check out his work and see for yourself. You will soon be converted into a fan like me. 🙂

Just for Spam Lovers

Check it out! A Spam restaurant. Now, I can honestly say I have seen everything.
Thank you to Flickr, an online community that makes it possible for us to browse photos from all over the world, and also to Tin who shared the link on her blog.
P.S. I love Spam. Brian has never understood why I like it so much. I’m beginning to realize it might be a Filipino thing. What do you think? Have you ever met anyone else who likes Spam? Were they Filipino?

GIVE ME THE RUN AROUND!
Posted on October 24, 2006 by Brian under Reviews.
Yesterday I wrote to a company that manufactured my drive enclosure for my portable Hard Drive. I have been using this thing for like almost a year. I wrote to them and clearly explained my issues, my actions and what I needed (see below).
Question: I have purchased one of your enclosures that has recently failed. I tested the HD in another computer and it worked just fine. I found another HD and tested it in the Enclosure and it would not work either. I want to know how I go about getting an exchange for this product or if I can even get an exchange for this product. I was told by NewEgg that it had a 1 year Manufacture Warranty on it and they only covered it for the first 30 days. Please advise.
Today I go to check out my e-mail and they send me this (I will not edit it so that you can see how it was composed). (more…)

We have four new babies. There are two girls and two boys just like our first batch. They are so cute!

Ching Wants a New Camera
Posted on October 21, 2006 by Ching under Life, Toys, Wishlist.
Besides I still have my two cameras (the Powershot G3 that I paid $700 for back in the day and then Powershot SD10 that cost me $400 six months after I bought the G3) and my handy, dandy camera phone.
The funny thing is, four years ago I probably wouldn’t even flinch at ordering this stupid camera. It was just a matter of a mouse click. It’s amazing how so much more responsible I am now about spending. No more extravagant, frivolous, flamboyant expeditures. Gone are those days. And good riddance! The financial freedom I feel now (of not having credit card bills looming over my head) was totally worth the sacrifice.
As for my birthday… In keeping with our more pragmatic, minimalist new lifestyle, Brian is getting my car windows tinted on Monday. No fancy jewelry, no new camera, no shopping spree. We opted to go the practical route. I am going to get so much more out of tinted windows than I ever would any kind of birthday trinket. Anyway, Bebot deserves it.
