So what’s new? What have they been holding out on us since iPad2?

Retina Display. See everything like never before.

Four times more pixels than iPad 2. Razor-sharp text. Richer colors. The Retina display transforms the entire iPad experience. So everything looks and feels incredibly lifelike and perfectly detailed.

iSight Camera
The new iPad features Apple’s 5-megapixel iSight camera. Designed with advanced optics, it lets you shoot gorgeous photos and 1080p HD video.

Seriously, that’s about it. Oh yeah, sure, there’s more but these two are the only ones I can think of for those who want to upgrade. And since I don’t have an iPad yet, it’s something that’s worth looking into. Apple never fails to leave me wanting.

Summer is here and as expected, the weather is staring to get really uncomfortable. You can’t just sleep anymore without turning the aircondition on. But the upside is we can start having barbecues in our front yard again. We just need to take out the picnic table which was conveniently tucked in our storage room because of the rainy season. The kids are ecstatic when their dad inflated their new pool last weekend. I’m excited too since that would mean less “I’m-so-bored moments” and more happy shrieks and funny photo opps.

Just read a holdup incident on one of the bigger malls here in the city. It made me wonder if the metal detectors that they use are really working at all? Some of the guards barely even use it. They quickly scan your bag and if they find you’re having trouble opening it, they will just let you pass. Amazing what kind of security we have in the malls. I haven’t forgotten the bombing incident on the most popular mall in Makati a few years ago. This is the reason why I will never be perfectly at ease hanging out at the mall with the kids. So many bad things can happen and you’re not even outside.

My youngest just broke all the hinges on our newest cabinet. We just bought it last month and now we’ll have to bring it to the repair shop. We never experienced this with our eldest so we weren’t that careful when my soon-to-be terrible two is around. We learned our lesson now, which is always too late if you ask me. Anyway, another broken furniture to be added on our long list of house items that need fixing.

Here’s a great, clean-looking catalog layout for an e-commerce website. I found it while searching for titanium bracelets for men.

It’s plain but professional. There are plenty of white spaces and noticeable add to bag buttons. I think this is perfect for the website that I’m working on. The client doesn’t have a lot of graphics but his products are colorful enough that it will add the needed oomph to the design. I’m happy to have found a nice inspiration for today.

Everywhere you see people wearing pearls and other gems. Jewelry is a big hit right now and won’t be going away any time soon. Now the question is where do I find discount pearls? You have to search online to reduce the retail/ middle man mark up! This is the best place to find reduced priced items that are more than likely to be just around the same quality you would receive at a retail store. Shopping this way can make life easier and more affordable. Look great with more money in your pocket. Also, the whole trend about gems is they are great! Natural, cultured, or saltwater, are all beautiful and imperfectly perfect. read more »
