Sony Cybershot DSC-W180 for The Chef’s Daughter

I bought this Sony Cybershot DSC-W180 (the silver one) as a sort of tech gadget gift for myself before hubby and I got married last December 2009. This serves as a replacement as well for my Canon Digicam that got lost when Typhoon Ondoy struck last year.

This is the one that I have been using lately to snap shots of everything that I find worth taking. Be it food, nature, people and places. The thing with me using this is that I am just a point and shoot person. Well, I learned photography basics when I was in college but eventually, I just loved to be carefree enough in my shots and not worry on too much details about it. But of course, if time permits, then I would love to learn more about digital photography this time.

Way to Unwind Inside the Home

My husband enjoys reading ebooks on his psp. Yes, he enjoys reading his favorite, seo, how to and inspiration ebooks on his psp, works less like kindle but still useful. In fact, he does not like to use psp for games as he would better buy a playstation 3 to keep up with playing some interesting games.

This is another great way to unwind inside the home after a day full of writing deadlines and such other writing activities. Well, that’s also another way to keep his creative juice flow because he will definitely find another way to beat boredom after a hard shift’s work

Error in Uploading Pics in Flickr

My Dad requested that I upload the latest pictures on my Flickr account so he can check the development of the house renovation. Well since he is the one who’s giving the budget for it, I wanted him to see how the once abandoned house became as beautiful as it is now.

But the thing is that I have been uploading our update house renovation pics in Flickr since yesterday but I cannot seem to post these pictures. I also tried to do this using my Eeepc but I can’t seem to upload it still.

Anytime now, my Dad will be online again and will call my Mom via Skype to ask for these pics. I’ll try to upload these again after their chat, but if it won’t work for me (for the nth time) then I might have to find Flickr’s support link to raise my concern.

Any Plans for Mothers Day?

Have you had something in place for Mother’s day?

When I was young, I remembered giving my Mom a card with my own masterpiece (yeah, I’m good in drawing ‘stick men’). I would sometimes cut out some colored papers and stick it on the card for an added touch.

As I grow older, I learned to give my mom a variety treat. I would give her gifts like perfumes, clothes, some household items, even flower pots (because she likes gardening as well). I’m glad that she liked it, especially because the money that I used to pay for it came from my own pocket and not from my parent’s allowance anymore.

I would’ve given her some more expensive treats, but knowing my mom, she would love to just keep the money instead of taking advantage of some short-lived luxuries. That’s one unique thing about her that I would love to do as soon as I become a Mom myself.

So now, I am thinking of what to give her for Mother’s day. Can you suggest some good treats that I can give to her?
