sick? nahhh...
although i'm still sick, i was able to attend my appointments yesterday. one of this was attending to a birthday party in a chinese restaurant at al ghurair in deira. i am the godfather of the celebrant and it's her first birthday (plus christening). the embarrasing part however was we attended the party with my friend, mondsi, and i were wearing only shorts, shirt (me, sleeveless shirt), and slippers. the original plan was really to go to carre four and shop groceries but when the father called (i declined the appoinment earlier due to my sickness) and made some "barkada threats", i decided to divert our destination to the party.
after the party, we finally went to carre four in city centre to buy things that i really wanted to get...
the home theater system.
instead of buying the whole package which ranges from dhs600 - dhs1200 for small to medium sized systems, we assembled from different brands. i bought the "unbranded" but reliable dvd player which can play dvd / vcd / cdr / dvd-r / jpg / mp3... almost any type of cd/dvd you feed for about dhs160 only. it also has a remote and line output for monitor and surround system. next thing i've got is the creative 5.1 speaker system. it cost me around dhs230 and much cheaper than altec lansing's 2in1. i prefer the bass of altec, but when you go for surround, creative will do. i also bought jacks (creative's jack plugs are different) for dhs30 and overall, it cost less than dhs500. my original budget was around dhs800 but since i got a lot of savings, i bought the rest for foodstuffs.
it will take me a week to test this new toy, playing almost everyday with movies, mp3s or cd audio to see if it will withstand my quality control.
and this morning, i'm still feeling sick but i have to finish something in the office. i'll just walk in there, finish it then go home. i don't want to be blamed for not meeting up with the deadline to a client and people at the office are good at pointing fingers and finding faults instead of looking for solutions.
gotta brush my teeth and prepare for work...

It really pays off when you know what to buy andyou are n top of your game. You can easily spot a good deal. Sana ganayn din ako pagdating sa gadgets.. ang alma ko na mga good deals puro shoes, bags and books...
That reminds me, I'm also attending a christening event this Sunday. I'm like why these so-called friends suddenly remember you pag may bigayan lang ng mga regalo? hehehe. Enjoy!
glad u've got what u really wanted. nakakaalis ng pagod ang pinaghirapan.
