Hoen is a happy camper
Monday, October 8, 2007

I don't know what it is with Hoen and myself that we seem to have had this habit of unplanned smart shopping lately. We went to NFM yesterday with the objective of just checking out their computer stuff since we're thinking of getting an iMac. Our Windows PC is 4-years-old-going-on-20 so it's in dire need of replacement. It has reached its maximum in terms of upgrades so the only thing to do is buy a new one. The iMac is a strong candidate because then my paranoid geek husband won't have to spend lots on Anti-virus and security software. The only thing that's holding us back is that with the iMac, Joen can't really program using C# or any other MS-only language UNLESS we get the dual boot plan which costs around $400 on top of the thing. And with the dual boot, since it CAN run on Windows, we would still have to spend for the Anti-virus and security software. So same binignit, same camote. We'll see.

Anyway, as we segued into the furniture section thanks to me (brava! brava!), we came across this storage ottoman. It's not that big, a little on the bulky side and it was black. It has two separate reversible lids which can serve as our dinner tray whenever we feel like chowing down in front of the TV at the basement. So after some minutes of thought, we bought it. We also got us a NAS (Network Attached Storage) because my external hard drive is about to need some CPR. My picture and song files increase dramatically every quarter so this NAS has been long overdue. So so so glad we bought it even if it was a bit pricey. Makes us feel more secure with our files. Oh and did I mention we bought a Wii game as well? Metroid Prime, one of the highest rated Wii games out there, is now soon-to-be wife rival. So Hoen is happy. REALLY happy. He got something to eat on or put his feet up on, he got something for his precious files and he got something for his Wii fingers. Aaaahhh. The bliss of a geek husband, hehe.

I sucked!!
Wednesday, October 3, 2007

Last weekend, I sucked! I vacuumed, that is. It is usually Hoen's job to vacuum the house but since we got the new ShopVac, I thought it was but fair to have some division of labor. So he mowed and ShopVac'd our garage while I Dyson'd our entire house. That was my first time to vacuum the entire place and I regret not doing it before. I just love sucking the dust out of every corner of the room. If I have to leave it up to Joen to do this dust-sucking pleasure, it would take him ages to gear up. Whilst I, I wouldn't mind doing it once a week. Come winter and we might not have to do it as often

As part of my cleaning, I decided to organize our shoe closet slash basement stock room. It's been weeks since I've organized our shoe closet and it's frustrating having to wear the same shoes over and over simply because I neither have life nor limb to rummage through the whole pile of my dear sole mates. So I got every pair, took a picture of them in case I need to buy boxes in the future, counted them and opened up those closet organizers I got from Ikea. Very convenient and it makes me see all of our shoes. Aaahhhh. The beauty of organization. =)


Before After
