Another TGIF is here! I hope you are having a good one. I was busy today with a lot of things. I am also done unpacking my luggage after a short vacation to Spain. I should do it the next day we came back from our trip last Tuesday but I was quite sick with colds. Glad to know that I am feeling very better now. I also did some laundry and cleaning.

On the other hand, it seems that Christmas is just around the corner. Are you ready packing the gifts for your kids, family or friends. I am partially done. I am thinking of giving an atmosphere yoyo for my friend’s only son. I found a very nice one online. Besides I am thinking that it is a unique present. The last time I played yoyo was during elementary grades. That was almost three decades ago. I can’t imagine how time flies by so fast.

I hope you are having a wonderful and memorable Christmas holidays! Keep safe!

Apple admits there is a problem with iPhone 4S’s battery life – but says it will take weeks to fix

Apple has finally admitted that there are problems with the new iPhone 4S’s battery life, after weeks of reports of devices overheating and batteries draining in less than 12 hours.

The good news is that the problem appears to be due to a bug in the iOS 5 software that the phones use – rather than a problem with the battery itself.

The bad news is that the problem will take ‘a few weeks’ to fix.

Speaking to website AllThingsD, Apple said, ‘A small number of customers have reported lower than expected battery life on iOS 5 devices.’

I received a mail last week that I am qualified for a certain job nearby our place. I am hoping that I will be given a chance to prove myself with this job. It is just a clerical job and I believed I can do it. If I will not be accepted in this job, I am thinking of another alternative. I am planning to go back to school and maybe study and learn one of the System Support & Documentation Jobs. I also have another choice and it is probably to study tourism and become a tourist guide. I always love to travel and has a passion for it. What do you think folks? I have to ask the experts about their opinions about these fields.

I am off to bed now. We need to wake-up early for a trip to Madrid, Spain. Goodnight folks and have a fantastic weekend.

Some people are lucky. Some might not. Sometimes you can also try your luck. That is the reason why I am trying my luck from time to time. Last week, I played lottery hoping to win some millions of money. If I win this big I want to buy gold coins at Golden Eagle. Gold is one of the best investments these days. Sad to say, my numbers were not lucky enough. I read last weekend that there were 9 lotto winners who won over 1 million Euros each. Congratulations peeps! You are now instant millionaires.

I am not really playing every week. One or two times in a month is enough. I am still hoping to win big amount one day. Besides I won 5 times already. Good luck for me! Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend!

I received an email notification from Youtube today. It says that I need to update my account. When I clicked the link to update it, it says that I need to link it to my Google account. Since I am using a yahoo email address to sign-in in Youtube, starting December 13, 2011, it will no longer be valid.

This is the message that appeared on my screen as I was trying to update my account.

“Link your YouTube and Google Accounts
You will no longer be able to sign in to YouTube without a Google Account.
If you do not want to link this YouTube account, you can sign out here.”

It is fine if I can no longer sign-in with my yahoo email address. I will use very soon my existing google account in Youtube. Cheers!

I just looked at the calendar to confirm what date we are exactly having today. It seems that another month is coming very soon. For many, the month of December is so far the nicest month because of the celebration of the Christmas season. Giving gifts during this month is also a tradition especially for Christians. Due to this, I am also thinking of the coolest presents I can give especially to my brothers. How about a funny t-shirt for each of them. Isn’t it a cool present. I already sent some before in the balikbayan box and they were happy to have it. I guess other designs, colors and wordings would do. Any suggestion peeps?

I don’t exactly know where this people got my email address. I believed this is again another for of scam mail..I just noticed it today while checking my inbox..I am not a travel agency or a hotel where they can book their accommodation. How I wish!

I can conclude that this is a scam mail because they have been asking my name, mailing address and telephone number. Sorry, they landed to the wrong person.

Here is the body of this scam mail. I just copied and pasted it from my inbox.

There are various forms of entertainments anytime and anywhere. I have some friends whose husbands want to watch movies after going home from work. Others want to go to the cinema to watch movies. Other go out with friends during the night clubbing or discoing. Some love to watch concerts and operas. Hubby on the other hand is fond of watching programs over the Television. He loves especially watching themes about nature and travel. I wanted to buy another external hard drive where I can save and download videos, music and movies. In that way, we can have more entertainment at home.

Like hubby I also watch interesting TV programs or simply browse the internet. Cleaning, cooking and gardening are also the forms of entertainment I have at home. How about you?

Happy Veterans Day to all American friends! Anyway, I am glad that after my laptop is working again.It was diagnosed with a severe fever last weekend. After I brought it to the doctor, there it goes, I can open it again. I was so worried when it wasn’t working good because I am thinking of buying new one again. I just remember that it is still on warranty because I just bought it last year in November. It has a 24 months warranty. I hope it won’t work weird again. Thanks also to my Ace netbook who had helped when my Asus was out of service last weekend.

I just want to wish everyone a lovely weekend in advance!
