Remember 2011 | Tech Moments

Hope you all had a meaningful Christmas!

Truly, there's no place like Christmas as home. Food, lots of presents and togetherness makes our family's Christmas more wonderful.

Year 2011 is coming to a close. It had been a good one and for that I am thankful.

"Life holds so many simple blessings, each day bringing its own individual wonder." - J.McLeod

For the past years, I never fail to write about some of the fondest memories of the months that passed. I even shared some here in my blog. (Read: 100 Moments of 2009 and Year 2010 Revisited)

My best things consist of moments and lessons that I want to treasure and remember. Now, let me make time for my blog and share my best memories of the year to you, my friends and readers. These are some of the memories, lessons and experiences that I would want to keep on remembering.

This year, I'll share some of these in blog. I'll start of with: Tech Moments of 2011

I didn't need or wished for the most high-tech tablets, laptops or other tech toys. I don't have a MacBook Pro, iPhone 4S, Nikon D3S or Nikon D5100, 3D Tv, etc. but I'm more than thankful for what me and my family got to have.

Asus K43SJ laptop

It's pink and it has a shiny aluminum textured body. One of the best feature is its exclusive IceCool Technology which keeps palm rests cool. This laptop is affordable and makes me more productive.

Nokia E72 phone

This Nokia E72 phone wrapped up my July month. I love this well-designed and full-featured messaging smartphone.

Sony PSP

My son is truly at his happiest when he got a Sony PSP as a "pasalubong" from my mom.


China iPad (APad)

My daughter got a pink China iPad from my mom. Cool that this APad runs on Android OS.


Earlier this year, even my mom and and my brother bought new laptops too! My sisters got new laptops as well - a purple Samsung Series 3 305U1A netbook (It's thin, has a stylish metallic-tone and powerful!) and a Samsung NP RC420 notebook!

Plus, there's also my BenQ camera (which I've won from Facebook), a Nikon Coolpix L120 (which I enjoyed using) and a Canon EOS 1100D camera that my mom bought for my siblings.

There are other more things, but it seems like 2011 had been a laptop year for us. :)

My heart remains to be thankful.

Happy for all these. Stay tuned for my next Remember 2011 posts.

Year 2010 Revisited

Cheers to a great New Year!

As year 2011 starts, I look back and remember events, experiences and moments that shaped my year. I am grateful for all the simple, yet extraordinary things... the good and not-so-good things, the small and big moments, and everything else! Minor disappointments and jealous-haters doesn't matter, they made me more understanding and stronger instead.
