Have You Noticed… #4

…that even though malls officially close at 9PM, all the stalls are already closed or already preparing to close by 8PM! And some barbershops in malls will no longer entertain you once it’s past 8PM. And even if they did, they will begrudgingly cut your hair in record time so you could leave ASAP. Unlike in the US, wherein you could actually shop until exactly 9PM.

Fave Stores #1: CD-R King

CD-R King. This store has outgrown its name. It should now be called “All the Techy Stuff that You Need” King. I’ve been there since it was just a small store selling, what else, but CD-Rs! Those were the days when DVD-writers were still costing around P15,000 and DVD-Rs are way too costly. I remember that my favorite CD-R brand back then was Philips. In fact, I have in my collection several different designs of the Philips CD-R. I’ll be scanning those and displaying them in a gallery here soon, if I find the time to do it.

But now, CD-R King is really a king in its own right. They have literally everything that your techy heart desires. They have all types of CD-Rs and DVD-Rs, MP3 players, MP4 players, headphones, keyboards, optical mice, thumb drives, cleaning kits, LCD protectors, laptop sleeves, laptop decors, laptop bags, USB lamps, USB massagers, notebook cooling pads, mug heaters, joysticks, gamepads, Ni-Cd batteries, MMC cards, memory sticks, etc., etc., etc… They even have tripods!

The only drawback, the lines are getting longer and the salesladies are getting slower. But then again, they’re the ones who sell the stuff you want at just the right price, so there’s really no choice but to be patient as you wait for your turn to buy. Get a good book while in queue. You’ll need it!

Google Photo Screensaver – The Best Screensaver!

If you’ve got a bunch of pictures that you want to show off in a slide show screensaver, then Google Photos Screensaver is your best option. It’s easily the best software in the Google Pack collection and it’s definitely better than My Pictures Slideshow in Windows.

The Pan and Zoom Visual Effect is very, very pleasing to the eyes. And aside from your local pictures, you can even have pictures from photo feeds to be displayed as well.
