This is just an update for my previous post “What I Want For Christmas“.

Finally, I now have my own super automatic espresso machine at home with my new Jura ENA5. The decision to buy it came after the sign I was waiting for came to me and after some budget adjustments I did with our finances. So off I went to the mall with Aphilo and bought this nifty little piece of machinery as a Christmas gift for myself as well as a reward for my hard work. I had thought of ordering it from the US and having it shipped here since it would be more or less 5K cheaper, but I decided to just go for the local distributor since they offer 2 years warranty and the 6 months 0% interest payment scheme was really budget friendly. Moreover, I was promised by the salesman that he would give me coffee freebies such as all their coffee beans blend and syrups. So who am I to resist such offer?

Seldom do I get to wish for something for Christmas since I am not really fond of receiving gifts. I had always been fond of giving but not receiving. Maybe it’s because as a child, I never really looked forward on receiving anything for any occassion. That’s a long story to tell which is for me to keep.

But this year, there’s really something I want to receive. Not necessarily from someone, but I want to give it to myself as a reward for a hard year’s work or maybe just a little something to give myself as a fruit of my labor.

Here’s the story. (more…)

Just recently I had finally saved enough to buy  a much bigger ride. Though I was a bit sad to let go of “Azul”, my old Toyota Corolla XE Sedan since it had served me well throughout the years and its still in a very good condition especially the original paint job. But then I just had to do so since my family and I had already been a bit crowded when travelling especially if we bring along a lot of baggages for a long vacation. Moreover, I was thinking of buying a much bigger car so as to have more space not only for my travelling companions but also for large items I needed to buy such as furnitures or big appliances.

If you simply want to listen to your favorite tunes and don’t want to take the time to search for it and download it onto your hard drive, then you can simply use this cool site called SeeqPod – http://www.seeqpod.com. I use this a lot when I don’t feel like using my iPod while working or playing around with my notebook. It somehow makes me listen to a lot of my not so favorite songs or view music videos online in a single site. It does all the hassles of searching and playing the media files I want online.

For some reasons, one of my VPS server stopped responding to SSH requests after a reboot. I was really clueless as to what happened since the last thing I did was execute RootKit Hunter to initiate a server security check. It’s good that I was still able to execute commands on my VPS via HyperVM’s “Command Center” module. It was then I saw the error from the logs that states – fatal: daemon() failed: No such device.

Just recently while working, I heard Aphilo and the kids playing on the street. At first, I didn’t mind them since I wanted to finish a couple of things with work. But then, when I heard the laughter of the kids and how much they were having fun, I closed my notebook and played with them. While playing with the kids, I can’t help but look above, smile, and thank Him for such a great job I have. At that point wherein most people are tied up in their office for work and some being so stressed out, here I am spending fun and precious moments with my loved ones. What more can I ask for? I’m earning enough for our financial needs and at the same time, I have all the time in the world to spend quality time with my family, no matter what day of the week.
