IPad Pre-Order April 3 Available in the Philippines.. Sadly not yet. I checked the ipad apple store to have my ipad pre ordered or reserved but apparently its only available in ALL States in the US and not available anywhere else.

Just like thousands who receive the ‘ipad coming april 3′ email, expect that many will be searching for more information about it – specs, features, availability etc.. Like i said, here? Not available…

Nag update lang ako ng status sa Facbook saying ‘..starting to feel the city life..’ and I thought why not make a version of it here in my blog site.

I got my unix account login few days ago and started checking the password and updating na rin. I was working from home nung tumawag yung boss ko from hungkung… “call me now”.

Limamput pitong minuto telebabd sa phone.. dahil may tinuro saking ipapagawa.. That’s one of the down side pag sa bahay ka pumasok.. walang desk phone :).. so for $0.40 a minute .. mga Php1000+ kwenta ko eh.. walang kwenta.

During the meeting yesterday, ano daw gusto ko documentation or technical ek ek… Ang gusto ko reces :).. i picked the ssh side of unix admin and not the excel side of it.

Fresh na fresh sa ‘chair’ server… tons of pasa load na! Ayus lang! Bring it on!.. Meron pang filesystem growth.. na wala namang volume manager.. format sana kaya lang malaki chance na mabura ko data nila :D not sure kung may back up.. syempre, basa basa pa ko documentation..

Ngayon sa bahay ulit.. at may pagpupulong ulit.. pero this time.. di ako sasali :) sayang load :D

Activity of Matt and Sean for the first weekend of March.

Saturday is grocery day. Walter Mart (ulit) and venue… Ang layo kasi ng SM Marilao… dapat ipapatingin namin ung Gateway na netbook dahil nag s-shutdown sya mag-isa, pero dahil tinatamad nga, procrastinate mode muna, next time nalnag.. nagagamit pa naman.

Yesterday we all went to Manila Ocean Park as a, like a way to celebrate our two boys’ birthdays. We got there around lunch time, 11am. It took 2 hours to drive from Norzagaray to there. The route was EDSA –> Buendia –> Roxas Boulevard.. I know that the Manila way is nearer but I’m more comfortable with the latter.

The Google Maps application in the iPhone once again came in handy in checking out the route and the kanto kanto.

If I remembered right (my wife bought the ticket) Adult or regular folks costs Php400 a ticket.. Children who are over 2 feet costs Php350 and for babies/toddlers, that is less that 2 feet are free.. 20% is given for senior citizen.

February 19, 2010.. Today we gave the initial payment, the down payment, for the property that we want to purchase. By August 19, 2010 we expect that piece of property to be fully paid and that we will be occupying it by that time. We were given a photo copy of True Certified Title (TCT), Tax Declaration and a receipt as proof of down payment.

For the last couple of post, I mentioned that I was selling my car (still is) and that I need to find myself 1.5 Million pesos. That is because we are planning, to buy this house and lot just across the street from our old home.

So anyway, like I said today we already gave the first half (or a little over half) of payment.. the balance will be on or before 6 months.. that is August 19, 2010.. Wish us luck!

Would like to thank Tatay, Nanay, Tita, Ney, and Google Adsense for the money! :)

My mind has been occupied with one thing lately, and that’s money. I am thinking of money to buy that house and lot that we want to buy.

I have plans to sell my car, borrow money and get a Pag Ibig loan. So most of the post that I’ll be posting here are related to that.

Today is a Php460,000 day. We went to Sta. Maria Bulacan with $10,000 in hand… Yep, you guessed it, exchanged rate was $1 = Php46.00 February 17, 2010… I wonder what’s the forex in a months time? 6 months? A year? Let’s wait and see.

I’m selling my Mazda 3 (emmo) for 1.5 Million Pesos! Pretty expensive huh? Well, it’s not actually. The sentence there is a little misleading or confusing. I am selling my car because I need to raise myself 1.5 million pesos.

If you are interested in Mazda are, please do check out my classified ad, my Mazda 3 for sale ad in Used Cars Philippines.

Now, why am I selling again? Like I said, I need 1.5 million to buy myself and my family a not so brand new house and lot!
