iPhone 3G in The Philippines

Apple iPhone 3G






















The news that Apple iPhone 3G will be available in more than 70 countries worldwide is indeed true. That's because Globe Telecom will bring the very much awaited iPhone 3G from Apple here in the Philippines.

According to Apple.com’s PR site, the 3G iPhone will be available for both postpaid and prepaid Globe subscribers.

The said Apple iPhone 3G will be sold from $199 (8GB) and $299 (16GB). That's around Php9,000 and Php13,000 respectively. Fair enough I think. Finally, after long months of waiting, drooling over information leakages and looking at its blurry images - the cool geeks can now grab their Apple iPhones 3G in the Philippines at a far better price.

Now I suggest before the stocks ran out, contact your friends working in Globe Telecoms Legazpi Center and ask them to reserve one for you. And you still have time to save,
because Apple iPhone 3g will be available in the Philippines next month – July 2008. Hmm, 2 more paydays to come, yeah!

The Bamboo Laptop: Asus Ecobook


Remember my post about the million dollar laptop? Well here's a new addition to the collection of such weird laptops - a bamboo laptop. Well, that my sound a bit odd, but what I am saying is, this bamboo is paneled with bamboo material.



And it's called the Ecobook from Asus - Asus U6 Notebook that is. This lappy features a
1GB RAM with a 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo T7700 Processor which highlight bamboo as trimmings matched with a glossy finish creating a very natural look. Ahhh, looks nice in the eyes. No?

It is worth $2,000.00...oops, not nice on the pocket. How much does bamboo panels cost here in the Philippines nowadays? I bet it's cheaper here in this side of the planet. Hey Asus, where did you get your bamboo panels supply? I suggest you buy it here and that Asus U6 will be much cheaper.Lol.

The Million Dollar Laptop

Do you remember my post about the effin $54 Million Laptop? Oh well, there's a bit of exaggeration in that post. Coz the millions is not the laptop's price, but the amount asked by Ms. Rachael Campbell for her lost lappy.

Now here's a real million dollar laptop - The Luvaglio. Last March, there was a rumor that Luvaglio will be released this year. Luvaglio btw, is a London based company owned by Rohan Sinclair Luvaglio, a young entrepreneur. Here's the official picture of the said million dollar laptop:




This Million Dollar Laptop are said to have stones like diamonds used as function keys. It is said to have a "solid-state storage, Blu-Ray, built in USB memory stick and MP3 player, integrated screen cleaning and functional jewellery." It is also said to be finished depending on the buyers' choice of precious metals, leathers and real woods.

Sadly though, the 'official image' does not offer complete view of the laptop. So I guess I have to speculate what's inside it. IMO, it's not so practical to combine diamonds with gadgets like laptops. It is just so prone to thieves and all evil forces. :D

Or maybe there are really uber-rich people whose gonna purchase this item. I dunno, Paris Hilton maybe? But I am sure, Jessica Simpson's not buying it, she loves her Macbook Air. :D

In Search For a Blog Money Maker


In search for a ‘make money through your blog’ opportunity, I searched Google hoping that I can find trusted “get paid to blog” sites for this Geek Girl blog. I hate scams, you know. And I know I did a good step because first in the search engines’ results is a site called PayPerPost.

I browse through the site, read the blog ethics, guidelines, the terms and conditions and all. After a few minutes, I decided I should give it a try. And I know I was in a trusted get paid to blog site because I have just been paid a whooping…$20. Lol. Ok, I know it’s not big compared to other probloggers’ income, but I can say it’s not bad for starters and newbies like me.

If you haven’t heard about Payperpost dot com, aka PPP, then go to the site now. I know this blog does not have a high PR, and a not so high Alexa Rank. But still Payperpost approved my application as a blogger. And this made me proud of this blog again. This time, I am more inspired to ‘pimp my blog’ in search engines and begin checking on my site’s traffic and statistics. If I do that, I might as well earn big enough like the other probloggers out there. And then I can buy my Olympus E420 :)

3 Things I Love in This Blog

All of us have several reasons why we love or hate? our blogs. Could be the search engine ranks, the templates, the traffic, the new online friends we just have, the popularity, and so on. Well as for me, I compiled the 3 things that I love in this blog.

One, it's the munnies that I've acquired through it. Common, a $5 added in your Paypal account once in a while isn't bad yes?

Two, it's the shortest posts that got linked in some awesome blogs like Macenstein or in forums like this for instance.

And three, it's these funny keywords being searched in search engines that brought some insane readers to my blog. Take a look:

funny keywordI got it from mybloglog's statistic report. I didn't include the number of searches because it's really darn silly I tell you. You may wonder how that search reach my blog? Well I seriously don't know. This Geek Girl's blog is not even ranking in Google for that 'special keyword'. Not even in the first 10 pages at that. But I have a clue that this certain post of mine - the very controversial post about Angelica Panganiban's 2006 calendar was the reason behind it. There's this comment who used that term. So maybe, just maybe..that's how this blog was found using the naughty keyword.

I am not proud about my third reason, just wanna share some silly thoughts. Lol.

So, how about you? What made you happy/proud/ about your blog?

My Dream House

My dream house:

My dream house will be built in a 120 sq m lot. It should have at least 3 bedrooms, 3 comfort and bath rooms, a garage, and a veranda. And that's it. Even though it may look a bit small for some, it's still cool in the eyes because of its nice color combinations.

The outside should have a landscape design, some colorful flowering plants, and I will add a fence and a main gate in front, so that the kids can play in the ground without exposing them to 'road hazards'. I will also put a mailbox and other curbside decors in front of the gate to customize the 'entrance look'. Why mail box? That's because nothing else gives the plain steel gate some highlight like mail boxes do :)

I am not sure when this dream house of mine will be built though. Maybe in 5 years or so. But what's important is that I have a picture of my dream house to gaze at, inspire me and makes me work harder. How about you, do have your own dream house?

Moi Geeky Gift

I am not sure if my hubby’s reading my blog from day one. Last Mother’s day, he asked me again on what I want as a gift for mother’s day. And the question goes like, “so, as a geek mom, what do you wish for this mother’s day?” My last post was about the “Top 5 Gift Ideas for Geek Moms on Mother's Day” so that leave me into suspecting that moi hubby is actually checking on my blog, though I doubt his memory since he barely uses the PC and he’s bad in remembering URLs.

Moving on. Speaking of memory, his next question was like “do you want to get a 2gb Memory Upgrade?” Whoa, me loves the hubby more, lol. I know he grasp the right idea right then since he knows I have been complaining on how my desktop PC have been acting up lately. Excited I was, I took the specs of my PC and went to a local computer accessories shop and get the PC3200 DDR400 SDRAM Upgrade. The technician was kind enough to fix the new memory into my old and dusty CPU. I was happy for the mother’s day gift, and I am glad that my post gave my hubby an idea. My super old PC is now super fast. Thanks to the hubby and his gift. Next time, I’m gonna ask for an upgrade for my Apple Memory & MAC RAM. And this time, I will try buying it online, and install the memory myself. lol

Top 5 Gift Ideas For Geek Moms on Mother's Day

I've read over at Yahoo! Tech some interesting gift ideas for mother's day. The article says:

Flowers, chocolates, a greeting card? Sure... but tech-minded kids may want something a little more with the '00s to give to mom this year. Here are some hot ideas for computer savvy sons and daughters to consider as gifts for Mother's Day. (Reminder: It's May 11th!)
It actually gives ideas to kids. My kids are so young, so I guess my post will be more of a suggestion for fathers out there. Here are the top 5 high-tech gift ideas for the geeky mommies:






1.First on my list is a printer. A photo printer from Kodak that is. If you're going to ask why, it's because moms loves to take pics of their kids, husband and friends. And not all of them can afford to let them all be printed. So it's a perfect idea to give them a printer so they can print their pictures themselves, right?

The Kodak ESP3 All-in-One Printer


2. Next on my list will be a digital photo frame like the image in the left. It is a great idea because geek moms or mothers who works using a computer, usually transfer and compile all of their memorable pictures in their PCs. And they take a look at it once in a while. So it's a perfect idea to give them a digital photo frame so she can throw a glance at their family pictures or kids pictures while they're working.


3. The 3rd will be a camera. Yes a camera! But this is not the usual camera in your mind. It has to be the Sealife DC800 underwater camera! Yes you read that right, an underwater camera. That means, then can bring their cameras to beaches and take pictures while swimming and won't be afraid of the camera getting wet and soaked with sea water. This camera drops into a waterproof case or will operate as an out-of-water point-and-shoot -- includes an 8-megapixel camera with 2.7-inch display, wide-angle lens, SD/SDHC card support, and 4x optical zoom.


4.Ok, in case you notice your wife's phone. And its kinda old and not so fashion, I suggest you get her a new mobile phone. I suggest you get the latest phone model than what she is using right now, so it's a mobile upgrade, not downgrade. CNet Asia has a compilation of the top 10 mobile phones for women.Click here to see them.

5. In desperate cases (Lol), like you are not very sure or too lazy to buy them a present by yourself, I suggest you give them a shopping coupon, a gift check or cash cards wherein they can choose on what they want to buy as a mother's day's gift and spend the whole day of May 11 shopping like crazy. Just make sure it has at least 10,000 shopping value or else. :)

Now, for all men reading this blog-make sure you make your wives happy during this special day, okai?
