A Wi-Fi Router Upgrade!

So, I played somewhat a geek one time at home...changing my old linksys wi-fi router to a new one!

Old Router

My old router had been acting strange lately. It could either stop and mess up all my wireless gadgets when I am at work online. I don't see anything wrong with my internet provider because we called the customer service and they said they couldn't find any problem on our area, and that the signal is working good. The representative over the phone was kind enough to teach us the technique to get the (old) router work back to normal by taking the cable wire off, then put it back after 12 seconds!

Well, it worked actually, but the router has been going on and off frequently than normal and I don't want to waste my time taking that wire off and on several times a day while I would be busy working.

I told the problem about this to my husband, and so we just bought a new one.

New router

We bought a dual-band smart wi-fi router with the same brand (linksys), and with a faster speed and wider range. What I like about it is that I can create a separate password-protected guest network, plus it can have the capability of turning on/off wi-fi access to devices I want to.

I thought I could be having a hard time installing it, but it was all a breeze...phew! That easy!

So....am happy and contented. It's working very well!

A DJ Service For Your Wedding Celebration

A wedding day is a couple's special day for many memories to cherish in their lives! So when it comes to celebrating it, it should always be one where everybody will have a blast of fun, right? Think about a bride's "dance with her father moment" with the best choice of music surrounding the air. Or probably a wacky dance number of a mother and the groom too! And then a dance for all, or a song number the couple would never forget.

If you are planning for your special wedding day, why not start from here and take it from there? Remember, the celebration is one of those highlights many are looking forward too! 

My Search for an Ipad Air's (longer) Lightning Cable!

So, two months ago, I thought of putting my Ipad Air within my reach close to my bed so that I could read before sleeping. Sometimes, I do my work searches online while on bed too, so I wouldn't miss my favorite TV program. The only thing annoying is that the cable is too short for it to reach the bed from the charging outlet. The longest lightning cable from Apple store is 2 meters.

Then, I thought of buying one online for 8 meters long. Price wasn't bad, so I was happy when I saw one.

I also bought one for my Iphone 4S with the regular cable with the same length. After 3 weeks of use, the lightning cable no longer works! I discovered after I upgraded my Ipad Air's IOS, that was the time I discovered it no longer works! It was upsetting.

So, just a word of advice for Apple users...you couldn't just rely using non-Apple product accessories with your gadgets because it would only be a waste of money. 

I went to the Apple store and told them my experience about it, and they told me the only recommended product they have is Belkin for accessories...cable, casings, etc. I asked them if they have longer than 2 meters, but they don't have one. Ugh!

So, I didn't have any choice but to buy the cable. Why couldn't they make a longer one, if they wouldn't even recommend other non Apple products in the market? They just so overly cautious with their products, but they are always slow in making some more accessories for their products for improvement...like longer charging cables, or probably longer battery life! These are just accessories, but it could be a big deal for many customers who need one.

Just my opinion!...

Reviews On Studio Headphones

One way of getting a product before you buy them either online or at the store is to be always vigilant when it comes to listening or reading customer feedbacks and reviews, right? I am a regular shopper, and I get a lot of positive experiences just by reading customer reviews for an item I would like to buy, particularly when I do online shopping.

If you are planning to buy a good headphone, it is so easy to see a lot of them everywhere. So many brand names, styles, models, prices, etc. It is a good way to give you a better chance of choosing what really works for you in the end. But how about the quality?

Being open to certain feedback and reviews will be a big help to get you that best headphone you are dreaming of. Just read full review of some of studio headphones on the link provided and start from there.

How to Conduct an Effective Business Lunch

A successful business personality knows how to get work done in any restaurant. As long as you have the right strategy and approach.

• Begin and end the lunch with a firm handshake because you don't want to put out a limp hand.
• Choose restaurants that are conducive to talking, so avoid trendy ones as they are often too dark and noisy.
• Wise choice of foods is also a vital consideration. As much as possible, no drinking of alcohol at lunchtime, then choose something that can be eaten simply, NOT to the point when you all end up slurping oysters! :)
• It's okay to have chit chats a bit then be always very direct to switch back the conversation business and say like " so, tell me what you're interested in doing" or "what is it we can do for you?"
• If the lunch is getting tense, try injecting some humor.

Step-Solutions To Protect Your Memory Longer

Forgetting some things can happen at times for all of us. They say it's normal to be forgetful once in a while particularly if you 've got a lot happening on your brain.

But while you are still much away from being in your senior moments, did you know that memory loss can affect people as early as in their 20's? And if it doesn't stay corrected as early as it starts, it may continue as you age becoming it worst.

Thankfully, taking some few easy and helpful steps to help ward off that brain fog can ultimately help your memory improve.

1. Don't skip carbs especially at breakfast. Your brain cells need carbs so they can stay at their peak form. Try whole grains and other complex carbohydrates because they are digested more slowly, and so they can deliver a steadier stream of glucose. An ideal breakfast would be a slice of toast or a whole-wheat muffin with a scrambled egg and cup of berries to jump start your day.

2. Exercise can also help you increase your blood flow to your brain getting in much needed oxygen and glucose for fuel.

3. A certain research says that if you are using a one type of font on your memo such as a Times New Roman for instance, it's time to try a different one, like those that are slightly difficult to decipher font. It helps you improve your long term retention. Focusing on a new font can also make your brain processing center work a little harder upping your recall. A good example to use would be a Comic Sans ;).

4. Do you always forget where you parked your car everytime you are in a mall or in a grocery store? This exercise might help and try it; - get out of your car and try to notice where you parked, then try moving your eyes side-to-side every half second for 30 seconds while standing in your place. As you practice this simple eye movement, it helps you increase your long-term memory by up to 10% according to some researchers at Manchester Metropolitan University in England.

5. A new study also found out that drinking in moderation may actually lower your risk for memory problems. Researchers believe that alcohol's anti-inflammatory properties maybe the cause.

Preparing For The Allergy Season!

 Spring is fast approaching. And pollen can be out there anytime soon. Here are some tips that might help to soothe any irritations on your skin. I do get some allergies a lot. :(

If you have itchiness and redness;

Try using a daily serum with linoleic acid. It might help to search this product online to know where you could buy them. This product strengthens your skin's top layer keeping allergens from penetrating your skin.

Include the habit of washing your face as soon as you get home so allergens won't sit on your skin.

If you have red nose;

Sneezing and stuffiness is caused by inflamed nasal passages so frequent nose wiping irritates your skin.

The redness you're having is also probably due to dryness. If you blow your nose, do it gently and use soft, high-quality tissues. A good recommendation is to use an anti-redness moisturizer that contains niacinamide to help boost hydration and reduce inflammation.

If you have dark circles on your eyes;

Eyes can be itchy due to allergies making you rub them more often. Frequent rubbing can darken skin over time. Under eye puffiness is also caused by fluid retention.

Ask your doctor about eyedrops that may help alleviate the symptoms so you would less likely to rub. Try avoiding a lot of salt intake, drink a lot of water and sleep on your back more often to prevent eye bags. Use an eye cream with chamomille which is a natural anti-inflammatory.

You Must Love The Cloud Technology!

The "cloud" technology might still be a big question mark for many, but hey, c'mon, everything else is turning into digital technology nowadays. It is now making working routine styles much easier, right?

So, what's about the "cloud"? The idea is simple. Your files that you used to be storing it into your hard drive or flash drives can already be stored online as well. Cloud is the most ideal back up for you in case your hard drive crashes, or you happened to lose your flash drives. And of course, many cloud offer free services too.

I can strongly recommend Dropbox.com as I use it a lot for some files I need when I work online. It offers 2GB online storage space for free. It also offers bigger storage spaces with subscription fees. The best thing I like about its features is that it can be synced to all my devices (iphone, ipads and my PC.)

You can also consider using skydrive.live.com from Microsoft for free. You can upload your files to their website with password portected feature. It gives you 25GB free online storage.

If you are a music fanatic and love collecting music files, you can store all your music from any computer online like Amazon's Cloud drive. This one works like Skydrive but it can automatically upload your music files. You have 5GB free storage and if you want an unlimited music storage, you can have it for a fee of $20 a year.

Spotify.com offers unlimited access to millions of songs online for a minimal fee of $10 a month. You can access them either from your PC and smartphones.

For photo sharing cloud sites, you might wanna consider Picasa Google's photo software where you can share your photo albums with your friends. It gives you 5GB of free storage.

Flickr.com is also another photo-sharing site but with a subscription fee. For $25 a year can get you an unlimited storage.

 There might still be a lot out there but it takes patience to find them online. Whatever gives you the ideal features you need would be worth finding it in the end ;)

Having A Cocktail Party?

Some valuable tips on what to serve when you are planning for a cocktail party.

Just don't overdo but keep everything in balance.

You can limit the options by making 3-4 hors d'oeuvres and serve them with conviction. Don't try preparing too much and then exhaust yourself serving them, and can make your guests feel perplexed every time another tray is served one after the other.

Consider bite-size foods which need contrast. For instance, if you're considering serving pigs in a blanket, pair it with a cooling sour-cream and mustard dips since they can be quite salty. Some spiced meat patties can go well with pieces of mild, crunchy lettuce.

For guests trying to be virtuous, try offering fresh veggies.  You can also try baking some store-bought fresh gnocchi in a 400-degree oven for 10 minutes on each sides. Organize them into a bowl and scatter with coarse salt.

Travel Smart by Conair (A Review)

With all the tough struggle searching for a roll-on carry on, I finally found one which I thought I can use for my trips to carry my tote bags.

I was looking for one that is foldable and can be carried inside my tote bag when not in use.

I ordered this online, and so when I received it, I discovered the size was too big to be placed inside my tote bag even when folded. :(

It can carry up to 75 lbs of weight, so this is quite great since I'll only be using it to carry a tote bag. It has 3 inches smooth rolling diameter wheels and can be stretched up to 16.5 inches to 35.5 inches in height for convenience. It includes a bungee cord but I don't like. It's kinda useless when you all have to carry is a single tote bag that would make the cord too loose and only is ideal to use bigger travel bags and when you are carrying 2-3 bags on top of each other.

Another thing is that the cord is only equipped with 2 hooks on both ends and I find it quite risky to use as it has a high possibility of snapping off out from the hook and can harm you or other people around. But just in case, I am still keeping the bungee cord as a reserve if ever I need to use it.

I have several travel tote bags that I want to use because of their multiple pockets for organizing my stuff. But the fact that they become heavy carrying them on my shoulders particularly when I have long trips is really a burden on my shoulders. I always love to travel light with the help of my tote bags, but the thing is that how I wish they can be convertible, - like from shoulder bags to roller carry-ons.

I saw some bags like this but they are too bulky to carry on my shoulders, and some don't have straps ideal for carrying on the shoulders.

I'm still not giving up on this cart though. It has a lot of potentials. I haven't actually use it yet for my trips but I had some tests trying it on with my tote bags and how it feels dragging it. Wheels are good, handles are great and seems sturdy.

Let's see, I might as well use it for bulkier travelling bags for domestic travel.

My Ipad Air's Bluetooth Keyboard From Zagg!

For more than a couple of years, I've been buying Zagg products for my Apple gadgets...mostly accessories.
I first bought a Zagg sticker cover for my Iphone 4S and screen protector covers for both my Iphone and Ipad 2, and I have proven their products to be durable and tough.

I also bought Ipad keyboard covers for my Ipads 1 and 2 and use them for long trips. Until now, they are still  strong and doing good!

So recently, I bought this keyboard cover with backlit display for my Ipad Air. The price is worth it. ($99.) It's a  bluetooth-enabled KB and is easy to pair and connect.

I can say, this is much better than the Zaggkeys Folio because it is not bulky. I always want my gadgets protected with something lighter and convenient to carry and place in my purse without eating a lot of space, particularly if I go for long trips.

It comes with a 1 year warranty but it's not a main concern for me because I believe on the product's endurance and durability ;).

By the way, it also came with optional rubber feet soles that you can place at the back of the KB in each corner. I used it as it prevents the cover from slipping easily when placed on an uneven surface.

What I love most with this KB is the backlit keys in interchangeable colors that can make me type a lot more conveniently in darker settings. Serving as a cover protector, it is thinner with 14% smaller than other KB brand competitors.

It has a micro USB charging cable and the good thing is that the KB has a long lasting battery power that can last as long as 3 months between charges.

I already am using the KB right after I bought it without even charging it and until now, battery is still strong!

The pivoting hinge is great at any angle which makes it a great help using my Ipad as a laptop ;).

Just take note though that when you use your backlit display more often than normal can use battery power more, so be sure to use the backlit keys wisely.

So far, so good for this amazing KB. I am happy and contented, no questions asked! :)

Ipad Air! - A Birthday Wish ;)

When hubby asked me what would I want for my birthday, I didn't get any idea what to have. It took me at least 3 days thinking about it, lol!

And knowing myself, I love gadgets, so my mind went on to focus on thinking about gadgets :). So on the 4th day, I finally made up my mind...Ipad Air! {P}

There's not much of a big difference comparing my Ipad2 to that of Ipad Air except for the size, weight, display and resolution. But the fact that it's now lighter and more compact in size, I chose to  have one. I still prefer the screen size compared to that of Ipad Mini because I am not really that comfortable writing online in a mini sized screen. My husband has the Ipad mini which is really very convenient to carry it along for long or short trips because of the size and weight, but doing a lot of writings, website updating, etc...for me, it isn't practical using the mini.

Ipad Air has all the features that I need rather than the want, and it is serving me well!

I also like the clear HD and retian display when viewing my photos and reading my e-books. I thought I would prefer playing games in it as well with the HD quality...

I couldn't complain, it's great and with faster surfing and downloads.

So....me, HAPPY! ;)

Should You Be Sharing Your Personal Life At Work?

It's not bad to open up with your co workers sometimes, particularly if you already trust them. But some controlled discretion on your part should still be considered at times, especially if you're sharing your private life with friends within your workplace.

Before becoming personal, know what's safe to share and what is not. You can start by assessing your workplace's culture background, then consider the following scenarios;

If you're struggling with health issues:

If your condition needs your time off from work to seek medical care, it's always best to tell your employer about your diagnosis or write a letter to your HR department if you prefer to avoid emotional conversation. It's also okay to open up with your close co workers, but skip discussing specific details.

If you're not happy at work:

Take note just to disclose those selected details if you're not sure your friend can be truly trusted.

On the other hand, a new perspective might be just the one you need.

If you had a hangover:

If you had it the night after, it is better to keep mouth shut! :)

Caring For Your Vintage Furniture

Your old wood furniture at home deserves a tender loving care as well, whatever its finish. You can restore its luster by cleaning it with a damp cloth, put a thin layer of paste wax and rub it in a circular motion, following the wood grain.

Buff it after 15 minutes.

The fresh coating will then help your furniture become protected against scratches and water.

Tips on Creating a Beautiful Landscape For Your Tough Terrain

Having to manage a tough terrain can be challenging, but despite that, did you know that you can create a beautifully sculpted, usable oasis for your home?

Consider constructing some retaining walls to impossible-to-mow hillsides. Usually, to those spots that stand more than 1 ft. for every 3 ft. of a distance (terracing).

You can create ground covers such as putting plants clumped together with deep root systems to make your terrain slope-friendly. They will hold the soil in place. It's also a good idea to put drought-tolerant species of plants at the top, and water-loving plants close to the base.

You may want to flatten those jagged rises and fill the dips in between by using a multi-purpose compact tractor with a box scraper attachment. This is the easiest way to do it.

If your lawn is sloped with large rocks and trees, you may want to use a zero-turn rider. It has an easy to maneuver steering wheel control making it more stable and secure on a hilly terrain.

Treat and Trick ;)

So, it was our second to the last night dinner on our 10-day Caribbean cruise via RCCL. It has been fun the whole time dining with people that ultimately became friends.

The best thing was that we were very well taken cared of by our friendly waiters (who are Filipinos, by the way) and they happily obliged to fulfill my special requests of serving us Filipino dishes!

Anyway, we all got the best treats in dining, and most of all, one of the best tricks I saw, performed by one of our waiters. Of course, I was wondering and tried asking how did he do that, but he told me to try it, lol!

The first one (photo above) was that he was able to balance a standing toothpick on a cork bottle of wine with another toothpick (tip to tip) using 2 forks. Then, he added another toothpick on the other side (2nd photo) so that there were 3 toothpick tips touching with each other. Take note: - the forks are not touching the bottle. The two toothpicks were attached to the 2 forks though. It made me kept wondering...lol!

If you know this trick, can you explain to me the scientific behind it? I think it weren't the 4 forks balancing each other, right? That was a nice trick there! Wow!

Experiencing Samsung Galaxy Cam - (EK-GC110)

Few months ago, I started seeing a lot of advertisements about this camera. Then, there was somebody I saw on facebook posting about hers when she got one. Then, curiosity struck me again...(oh no!)

The fact is that I bought this camera first before I decided to buy my Samsung S4 thinking that this one had the front and rear camera feature. I also tried to ask about this feature from Best Buy where I bought it but the sales assistant wasn't aware of the features it has. So, I bought it anyway, only to find out later it didn't have the dual camera mode!

But on a positive note, I thought my money was still worth the buy because most of the features are what I needed for my frequent trips. Most of its features are the same with my S4 except for the dual cam mode.

This camera has 23mm wide zoom lens; - a powerful zoom, optical 21x and 16MP.

Equipped with a super HD clear LCD of quality photo, it proved its way out. I got the high quality clear photos I was aiming for.

I like its wi-fi enabled capability as well, which can be used as a little PC when you are connected to the internet. This makes it better and much more easier to share my photos direct from the cam to my favorite social media sites with family and friends.

Feature wise, I can't really complain...it serves more than its purpose.

I do love the different shooting modes. There are 15 types of modes to choose from depending on the type of environment the photo would be taken.

Whether you prefer to use the expert mode or just the simple (auto) mode..you choose! Just by selecting the auto mode, the camera automatically adjusts everything by detecting the surroundings of the environment where you are taking the photo.

But believe it or not, I haven't tried every feature of it yet. I still have to figure out how to use the proper appertures, shutter speed, etc...

Someday, somehow, I have to spend more time on photo taking sessions just to get the right technique ;).

Fireplace Mantels

It's just feels exciting when you are starting to move into a new home and you are into the process of designing its interior aspects. Have been there. ;)

If you are looking into enhancing your fireplace as well, you might want to try considering to find a fireplace mantel online and get the chance to browse all the designs. You can either choose to customize your design or just simply choose from the designs available from the store.

You won't regret paying your money's worth for a better home, don't you think?

For A Good Cause!

Every year, I give away stuff that I no longer need....clothes, small items, old and slightly used clothings, etc. This would be my 2nd year giving away electronic stuff like this old but still reliable printer/scanner by Lexmark.

It still works good, except for the scanner. I scan a lot of documents and photos, but I can't go on with my work unless I needed to figure out and fix it, or rather buy a new one. It still won't work no matter I got the CD back up with it when it was newly bought. Repairing for the scanner is a hassle for me as well. Since it served me for at least 5 years or more, I decided to get a new one and had to let this go.

After all, I believe this still can be of great help for those who need yet couldn't afford to get it. This printer has still a lot of good potential. Printing and photo copying. 

It's nice giving it away for a good cause! 

Having Rough Days at Sea?

If you happened to be having motion sickness while at sea, the following tips can help.

I've experienced having rough days at sea during one of our cruises, but thank goodness, I didn't have any vomiting which is usually the major cause of motion sickness. Although I get dizzy, it's just that's it...usually a normal body reaction when the ship gets really rocky!

Some advice includes:

If you're cruising, get out of your stateroom and seek for fresh air. (there is less movement at the middle part of the ship). Watching the horizon might also help.

Take small amounts of full sugar soda can ease the feeling such as Coke, Sprite, Ginger Ale, etc...and if you have vomiting, take some dry crackers, and avoid drinking alcohol.

Try to stay preoccupied or get busy.

If you're in bed, turn your AC to cold then cover yourself with blanket. Be sure that the air circulating around you should be cool.

Take Bonine (Meclizine) with caution especially if you are taking tranquilizers and/or narcotics. It's because Bonine can cause additional drowsiness. Take 1 tablet every 12-24 hours.

If the above fails, get an injection  for excessive vomiting which is usually a symptom of motion sickness.

Rabbit TV!

Have you tried this one? 

While I and my husband was shopping in a department store, there was a small shelf in a corner which says "As seen on TV products", so out of curiosity, we didn't mind taking a look around. So, I saw this one on the shelf, so I thought I want to try it. It was worth 10 bucks, so not bad, since the features seem to be good.

I installed the RabbitTV into my laptop's USB port and installation was a breeze. Just follow the simple instructions and you're good to go thereafter :).

You can then watch a lot of TV channels and movies direct from your computer. But do take note that this only works with a high speed internet access. So, be sure you have your own internet access at home or wherever you may want it to play. 

I only tried this once, when I tried searching one of my TV regular show that I missed one time, and indeed I saw it there. Episodes are there as well, so you can never miss any show if ever you haven't watched one of  the episodes in a certain day.

On the package it says there are 5,000 free TV internet channels you can watch, but I haven't counted them...lol! So, I guess, what you see is what you get when you read its features.

The only thing you have to take note though; - the package only comes with a free 1 year subscription service. So, if you love the service, and you want to continue it for another year, you have to pay $10. They have 5 years subscription service as well for $9/year.

I think this deal will be worth it for those who are movie and TV fanatics, as well as for those who are music lovers! Yes, it can also pick up radio stations, so expect to hear tons of music as well. Quite an awesome deal if you are on a tight budget I guess. You only pay as long as you want, that simple!

Not bad! I still have more than halfway of a year to enjoy it. So, I am taking the chance right now ;).

Guide To Mums - For Beginners

As you know, mums are one of fall's favorite flower ;).

Follow these steps;

Check plant tags and cross-reference with already opened blooms so you can maximize bloom time. Start buying plants as they start to break bud, usually when night temps drop, (around mid-September).

You can actually save more by choosing darker shades like bronze and burgundy. They also look better longer. Same is true for mums with double, as opposed to single, daisy-like blooms.

Buy the bigger plant...what you see is what you get! They thrive perfectly in the sun, but if you're planning to compost them once show is over, it's okay to bend the rule ;).

Choose soil that is moist but never wet. When it's cooler, check it at least every other day, and do check it daily when weather is warm.

Fertilizers are not necessary. Remove the faded blooms to give way for more buds to open and you'll have that perfect color you always love. :)

Is Your Backyard Tick-Free?

Did you know that most ticks lurk in the woods and woods line? So, make sure you make a 3-ft. wide barrier of wood chips, gravel or mulch between woods and lawn, - this helps isolate them, especially if you have a huge backyard.

Leave at least 9 feet of unused lawn inside the perimeter barrier. Most ticks tend to stay in this area.

Ticks love to stay in the shade, so free your lawn from leaf piles and keep your grass short.

Be sure firewood piles are away from your yard, because mice (they carry ticks) mostly like to build their homes in firewood piles. Set your bird feeder away from the center of your yard which can lessen your risk. Birds can also carry ticks as well as mice and deer which eat on fallen seeds.

Play equipments should be placed within the 9-ft. zone and put wood chips under it.

If you hae vegetable garden in your yard, put a deer-proof fence on your entire yard. Be sure you have flowers that are deer-resistant. Ask your nursery plant assistant if you need help getting one.

A deck or patio can help you avoid ticks on the lawn.

So, don't get bitten! Tick-proof your backyard.
