Puzzled


This is how I am currently accessing the Internet. This is how the IT in me made it work.

As I've written in my previous post, I have several options on how to still utilize the Mac. I tried using the TV as my monitor. It worked on Vic's Lenovo but it won't work on the Mac. I finally got over the laziness and decided to test the PC monitor. It worked!

Excitedly, I detached the monitor from the desktop and transferred it to the bedroom. That way, I can stay with my sleeping boys while I surf.

When I finally decided to log back in again, I can't see my wallpaper, the icons and everything else! Grrr. I figured, it must be the resolution. Since I have a broken monitor, my only option is to use the short keys. I called several people to see if the can help me out. I got nothing. Apparetly, there are no short keys to change the resolution.

It seemed stupid, but I decided to reconnect the Mac to the TV again then to the stand-alone monitor. It worked the first time. Lo and behold, I was able to see my screen again. I quickly changed the resolution. After several adjustments, I gave the built-in cam a try. It works too. Happy, happy, happy me. I wanted to take a shot of my current setup using the cam. But, the cable got disconnected in the process. When I turned it back on, I am back to the NO ICONS screen. Grrrr! The resolution change wasn't applied because of the missing OK/Apply button.

Back to square 1.

Hay, it is definitely tedious but it works. I can live with that.

If only I can figure out..
... why I have to sync it to the TV every time.
... why I'm not seeing all the buttons in the web page.

Some function buttons keys don't work also. I am hoping that the broken monitor is the only problem.

Lucky you.

It took me the whole day to make the macbook appear on my windows network.

It took me several hours more to make the macbook ACCESSIBLE to the network.

And, I'm no IT, mind you.

IT-IThan lang.

Excited

That is how I felt when I got up from bed this morning. There are just so many things to do and to look forward to this week. I'd have to... ... get hold of CCP to discuss a possible tie-up for the next Three Festival. I may need to get some contacts from Tito Bal. ... get the space application form from Ayala Malls. ... visit the furniture fair at SMX this weekend. ... get a new copy of our marriage certificate for Vic's Visa renewal. ... obtain franchise terms from my top two food chains. ... interview the new househelp prospect. ...see if we can finally sell our SUV to make room for a bigger one. I hope I can get started soon. I hope Javi's yaya gets well right away so I can slip and get some of these done.

Luxury Bags in Japan

Since almost everyone I know visited Japan this summer, I would like re-live my visit this year through this post.  This time, I will focus on luxury bags. We've heard about the usual reseller shops that house these luxury brands.  The one I can remember now is Daikokuya. I must've visited almost all reseller shops I've seen on the road.  I've noticed that these shops carry the top 3 popular ones:  Hermes, Chanel and Louis Vuitton.  There still are several pieces of Balenciaga, Valentino, Tory Burch, Celine, Gucci and Michael Kors but not as abundant as the top 3.  I guess what carries the most value are the three popular ones. If you are looking for cheap designer bags, I suggest checking out Don Quixote.  You will usually find on the topmost floors on Donki.  I think this is the one in Shinjuku. I am not so sure. You find them arranged like this or inside locked glass cabinets.  I'm sure the artisans who made these bags will turn in their graves seein

Life Lately

For several months now, my husband and I have been juggling the EV importing business and this ambulatory center we are putting up.  In August, we hosted a grand birthday party for FIL, received balikbayans then sent them off.  The kids started school in August too.  Did I say that their schools are quite far from each other? It has been a busy past few months.  I am not used to waking up early every morning to bring the kids to school then head off to work.  I am starting to feel tired.   It is an adjustment.  At first, I was enjoying being an "empty nester" when all kids are in school.  But now that work is piling up, I miss those quiet times at home.   I am so looking forward to having a vacation soon. I need to recharge.
