Photos & Videos

Posted on 6th July 2010 in Misc., Photography

I was going through our old files of photos and videos. Cleaning, transferring and deleting unwanted photos to give way for more space in our MyBook EHD. I was thinking we have so many photos and videos and since I still cannot find that ideal digital photo frame which i can use everyday to view those pics and videos anytime I want. I though I might as well use some and make a slide show. Yesterday when I was so down I even told and reminded hubby that I want him to make a slide show of my photos when I am gone among other details and instructions I left him. I wonder if he would ever remember what I said!

So maybe I might just have to learn making a slide show myself. I found Smilebox where it says you can create brilliant slide shows in minutes. You can add photos, videos, and music; email it in minutes; burn it into DVDs to create a perfect gift to friends and family; and post to Facebook to share to friends. I am going to explore this. I enjoyed the sample they have in their website. I just have to find and compile the pictures first to add to my slide show project. I actually have a pending photo book project which I still have to finish. Oh well good luck to me!

As an adult, what is your favorite thing about summer? ::: Now I would say since the lil boy is going to school, summer would be a time for a family vacation.

What was your favorite thing about summer when you were a kid? ::: Summer means a time to sleep all I want, play badminton all I want with my siblings and dad, bike all I want around the subdivision, catch up on eating and reading till late at night, and it is also a time to hibernate (meaning just stay home).

In 2010, it will be the summer of ::: our lil boy which I will remember as his first ever try of going to preschool to prepare him for the regular preschool class.

Burnt Out Light Bulb

Posted on 3rd July 2010 in Home Stuff, Misc., Shopping

And yes another burnt out light bulb in the house. First it was in the bathroom but thank goodness i really wasn’t burnt out at all. After awhile it turned on again with out us fixing it. Then there is the light in the living room which is the most important for us since we stay there most of the time to work. I told hubby that when I was looking for new and additional indoor lighting last week then that must be a sign of something that was going to happen. I was hoping to find a discounted indoor lighting but I am still undecided whether to go for a pendant lighting or a ceiling fan with a lightand these are some of my choices from Light Outlet when I did some online window shopping last night.

I like these Monte Carlo and Ellington types of ceiling fans because they look clean and would just blend into the color of the ceiling. But I also like these Emerson ceilinga fans below based on their design which would serve as added decoration in the ceiling too aside from the purpose of additional light and ventilation.

Honestly I have long been thinking of installing one in the house. Hubby is just having second thoughts on the safety since he thinks it might fall. Oh well we just have to think about that too since it is for our safety too but I think if we hire the right man to install it then I don’t think that should be a concern. Well things to be fixed around the house keep on growing! Hubby temporarily replaced the light bulb in the living room with the one above the dining area until we decide whether to place a ceiling fan with a light or just replace the light bulb in the center of the living room.
