Sharing Some Songs I Now Like

Well I actually have a lot of songs that I like but I kind of don't know their titles and artists since I just hear them over the radio. But here are two songs that I really like right now. Why don't you guys check them out. ^_^

My Wish List

The week after next week is going to be my next pay check so I'm kind of thinking what I would want to buy with my hard earned money. Well here are some of my wish list:

1. A new gamer's laptop. Yup I want a new laptop that is fast enough to run PC games. Well my lappy can play games but I want a laptop that has a fast processor like a dual core with 4 GB or DD2 RAM and a 250 GB. I'm looking for one that is less than Canadian $1200.

2. A PlayStation 3 Game. I want a fantasy and action genre game.

Well my wish list is quite short hehehe. I don't want to buy anything else. I did manage to buy myself a bike, wireless router, printer, and I did help buy this week's groceries so I guess I spent money wisely. But good thing though that by this week my mom's bank drafts would be cleared so we'll have money again because right now we don't have money but we were able to afford to buy our necessities and some wants like a Playstation 3 just from my brother's and my jobs. And applying for a credit card wasn't that hard either. It just proves that living in a first world country is great. You get to buy things that you want because the cost of living is not that high.

She Quit!

I have written here that I was training someone to replace me for my night shift because I really didn't want to work at night shift and the promise of a night differential or premium for my paycheck is not that a motivator.

The Night Shift (11 pm to 7 am) is super tiring! Why? Well I have to serve customers at the cash register (till) by myself and clean the tables, sweep the floors, refill and restock the papercups, cream cheese and anything else that needs filling.

Well I think my manager got the point that I don't like night shift so they didn't even bother asking me if I want to go back to night shift and now I'm back at my normal shift at 3-11 pm, the evening shift.

But I do pity the two Indians who will work 7 days this week to fill up my spot. Hmm... well not really hehehe. Because one of these Indians always complain that we evening shift don't do our jobs and this is entirely untrue. Oh well on with our lives. ^_^

Philippines: The World's Texting Capital

There is no denying it the Philippines is the texting capital of the world! Why? Well the Philippines is the only country where:

1. Almost everyone has a cellphone (It's like a part of a Filipino's hand).
2. Cellphones are considered a need and not a want. A Filipino who could barely have food to eat would still have a cellphone and money for air time credits.
3. The Philippine market for cellphones is HUGE! Offering different kinds of cellphone models which are renewed every month.

I only realized this because here in Canada the cellphones are well old... they don't have the latest Nokia phones that we have back in the Philippines. The high end phones here are mostly Blackberry's and Iphones but the selection is very limited.

That's why when I use my Sony Ericsson W960i touchscreen phone someone would compliment my phone and ask where I got it. And I always answer that I got it from the Philippines and it always raises eyebrows. Like how can a third world country have such hitech phones right? Well that is also a mystery to me.

Edmonton Police Service

Back home in the Philippines the general image of the police are corrupt and they are of no help at all with regards to solving crime cases. Just like the whole justice system in the Philippines, the police will only work for the ones with money.

But here in Canada you don't have to fear the police because they are very friendly and approachable. And unlike in the Philippines where traffic enforcers will make up offenses so that they could squeeze money off you.

Here in Canada your traffic offenses are recorded using cameras and other stuff (hehehe) but I do know for a fact that your speeding ticket is mailed to you with instructions on how to pay your fine.

So why on earth did I bring this up? Well the previous tenant of our apartment received his speeding ticket so thought I'd blog about it hehehe.

I don't like comparing my old home with my new home but there are things that we should all be aware off so that we could be able to do something about it. Although there are still drugs and other bad elements here but they're mostly concentrated at the night life areas so I still feel safe.
