2013-02-13 Paragliding, Carmona, Cavite

A few weeks ago, Leslie told me about paragliding in Carmona. I was interested so I looked it up which led me to Our Awesome Planet’s paragliding article which in turn led me to Buko, the paragliding instructor. I got in touch with him and yesterday was able to scheduled a tandem flight. For today.

Around lunch time, I drove to Petron NLEX and waited for Buko. I grabbed a quick lunch and coffee. A bit later, Buko arrived along with two others doing the tandem flight. We drove off in a convoy to the site in Carmona.

2013-02-09 to 10 Baguio, Benguet

Jeanne, Michelle, and I joined Leslie, Raine, Joset, Karen, and JB for a quick Baguio getaway. We left home past midnight. We hitched a ride with James who dropped us off where Leslie was waiting. We transferred our bags, picked up JB, and met up with the rest of the group at Shell NLEX.

After buying coffee and some necessities, we started off. Leslie and I took turns driving. During his turn, I was napping at the back when he woke me up and asked me if I know how to open a car. We were at a gas station for a restroom break. And Karen’s car had autolocked with the key inside!

Baby Brother

Last night, while we were having dinner, Jeanne suddenly exclaimed “Mommy, can I have a baby brother, please.” We all smiled and I joked “Do you want to buy one at the mall?”. She replied “You buy vegetables at the mall.” Oops, right you are, Jeanne.

Michelle added “Do you want to go like one of those kids on Facebook holding signs that go ‘Mommy said if I get a million likes, I get a baby brother'”. First time I heard of that. Guess that’s what you get for not having a Facebook account. Heh. Anyway, it shouldn’t take a million likes. It just takes two likes: the boy to like the girl, and the girl to like the boy :P

Apple Pricing

The 128GB iPad is now available on the Apple Store. And don’t you say “640K 64GB ought to be enough for anybody.” In any case, that’s not what I want to talk about.

Much has been said about the 128GB iPad but what’s interesting is Apple’s pricing. Every additional $100 get you twice as much memory as the previous model.

This pricing applies not just to iPads but also iPhone and iPods. Some would say you pay more for less with Apple products. But if we just look at the pricing between the models, you pay less for more. Is that good pricing strategy? Yes, it is!

Unwanted Milk Refill

Jeanne accidentally spilled her milk. So I made another cup. When she saw it, she stared at it for a few seconds, then exclaimed “Hay naku! You repaired it!” But still she drank it all up like the good girl she is :)
