Baby Alive Doll

Baby Alive dolls are cute. They cry. They laugh. You can feed them. You can also change their (very expensive) nappies. They look real, hair and skin tone and all. Depending on the children’s “color” orientation of course.

Baby Alive doll

But my children don’t like ’em because for them, these dolls are scary. Tried to discourage them otherwise, especially the younger daughter but “No can do” for these dolls for her.

Oh well…*shrugs shoulders*

*Doll is not ours

Google Goggles

Google Goggles gets rid of your keyboard/keypad usage and uses your camera to search the internet.

Ohhh! That was what I saw while  researching for htc desire reviews. Google goggles got me excited and who wouldn’t be excited? No need to key-in specific keywords, just take a photo of something and Google Goggles the info for you.

Skeptical?

Watch Google Goggles as explained by Mike LeBeau, Google Senior Software Engineer

Porsche 911

I’m sure a lot of guys out there would love to give this mean machine a try. The car? A Porsche 911.

Why, even our President got himself a pre-owned Porsche but that is a different story altogether.

A car is a car but a Porsche? Who would call a Porsche a car? It is a Porsche, whether it’s a 911, a GT3, Carrera GT or even the Cayenne.

It feels like it has testosterone supplements in the gasoline that keeps it revving. But nah, the machine is superb and the brand wouldn’t come a long way if that’s not the case. Even little guys who love fast cars love Porsche.

Walter Roehrl, a rally legend during the 70s and 80s and a senior test driver for Porsche said that the engine so so good and “That is the reason I like this car, because it’s not the power, it’s the response of this car.”

Rest Day

I have not been feeling well for several days. I was able to rest today because we had power interruption for a few hours. I had no choice but to sleep after I watched “The Town” starring Ben Affleck on the newly charged computer.

I munched on some chips to see if my tastebuds are ok while watching the video only to feel a vile taste in my mouth so I had to throw up.  Ugh.

In a way, getting sick means having to rest from work but housework I can’t escape. I’d rather do housework while I’m feeling better than when I’m not.

I wish I’d be well soon. I don’t like the feeling of being parched at all times.
