I have these headphones for over six months now and all I can say about them is that they are really unbelievable! These headphones were first made for F16 pilots to preserve their hearing ability by lessening the wind noise they get during take off and landing. Saying that these do it very well is an understatement!

First off, I would like to say that Bose should change the name from Noise Cancelling to Noise Reducing because I can still here the warning tones by the captain during in-flight, which is a good thing. Also, these only reduce the sounds made by other people who talk excessively loud. I consider them as noise, but they don't get cancelled. (I even wrote a blog about that.) Other than that, I have no complaints at all!

These headphones give the best sound experience ever! When you put them on, you feel like you are part of the music, as if you are watching the musicians live. You also get to notice the little quirks of the music, such as the lead guitar is panned to the left, the tambourines are somewhat panned to the right.

I know that these will make a huge dent in your pockets but it is really worth every penny especially if you are a frequent flyer or a snotty musician (such as myself) who likes to scrutinize every detail of the songs being played.

Don't get me wrong, I love the movie. I saw this movie on the second leg coming back from Florida. It's just that there were too many characters and too many subplots within the movie that you can't really fit inside a one and a half hour timeframe. It doesn't help that I haven't read any Jane Austen novel.

I liked how the movie developed the main characters namely, Jocelyn (Maria Bello) and her male counterpart Daniel (Jimmy Smits) but I am intrigued by Prudie (Emily Blunt) and her own love story. I just wish they have kept the book club to four people so that they would not have had any time constraints. Also, there were six Jane Austen books. They could have settled for four and do more of character development but I guess it won't really be a Jane Austen Book Club if they did only a few of her books.

Anyway, it is a feel-good movie and (spoiler alert) it has happy endings for everyone in the book club. So, if you're a sucker for drama movies, this one is for you especially if you're a Jane Austen fan. As for me, this movie just introduced me to Jane Austen and I may pick up some of her books at the nearest bookstore.

This is my very first bluetooth headset. I was looking for one to use since they banned cellphone usage without handsfree kits while driving at the start of the year.

Major things I look for in a bluetooth headset:
1. Sound quality - both ways. You should be able to hear the caller and they should be able hear you loud and clear.
2. Small - so that it won't be conspicuous.
3. Easy to use.

It has everything! I'm really surprised to note that one of my friends actually heard the microwave oven beeping when in fact I was ten feet away from it during one of our conversations. It is so small that you won't notice that you are wearing it. It is also easy to pair with your cellphone.

The cons are:
It is a bit on the pricey side. It cost me $99 plus tax at BestBuy.com. It does not have the other features that the other headsets have with them such as voice-enabled dialling and the like. The ear strap can get uncomfortable after an hour wearing the headset.

Overall, if you are looking for an easy-to-use bluetooth headset and looking for the things I mentioned and has the cash to boot, then this headset is for you!

Terrabyte!

That's 1024 Gigabytes of storage! Perfect for the digimaniacs like me, who snap digital photos like there's no tomorrow, record funny video clips, and of course, have their digital music to go!

This external hard drive can be shared across multiple computers via ethernet connection, commonly known as a local area network (LAN). You can also plug into it a USB printer making it a print server on the fly. Once you've set it up, you now have one terrabyte (TB), that's again, 1024 GB of disk storage shared across your wired desktops or to your wireless laptops. Doesn't have an S-Video output but you can buy a uPnP video adapter to stream all your digital content on your High-Definition TV! It also comes in a mini version a 500GB or a 320GB size.

This thing is the new wave of the future! And did I mention huge storage space?

Can someone be my Santa and drop this on my stocking for Christmas?

Hot Culture with Haute Couture!

Yes, Italian cuisine at its finest. From the outside, it looks more like an American restaurant, but when you finally get in, its ambience will wow you. It is the same as what Starbucks in Manila does to everyone, forget that we are in the Philippines just by being inside their coffee shops. They have a bar upfront, family tables, and an outdoor setting for the smokers. A small restaurant, but really worth the experience!

They have a great variety of food. They serve smaller portions compared to American restaurants but hey, you really have to make room for desserts! A three-course meal will cost you over 40 Canadian Dollars, while a two-course meal, will be in the thirties. I went to this place thrice, and those are the average. For the curious, here is a list of what I got and their prices, tax (6%) and tip (15%) included:

Day 2:
Appetizer: None
Main Course: New York Steak (6 oz)
Dessert: Tiramisu
Drink: Soda Pop
Damage: 38 CAD

Day 7
