Off the ground...!!!

Finally, I got a desk for my desktop... This means that my computer is off the ground and I don't need to sit on the floor while using the computer... This translates into not as painful for me to spend time in front of my computer at home. So, it's only logical to spend more time updating my blog.

I got the desk from Walmart.com, taking full advantage of their new free shipping to home for certain items. It's surprising to me that it only took them 3 business days to ship the desk and chair, instead of their first estimated 1-2 weeks.

Anyway, the putting together of the desk took me a good 1.5 hours, with a minor snafu, I got the sliders for the drawer upside down, but other than that, it was rather smooth. The chair, though it's height is more suitable for my kitchen island, by having it at the lowest position, I was able to sit comfortably in front of the desk.

So, 2 more items added to the house. What's next? I still need to get a few nightstands and dresser for my bedrooms. Maybe a bigger tv for the living room so that I can shift the current tv to my bedroom. But, the tv will only come next year.

For Black Friday, the only purchase I made was a new cellphone. After 6 years, I decided to switch away from T-Mobile to Virgin Mobile. This is because the plan is more suitable for my use. Instead of paying $40 bucks for 300 mins and 1000 texts, I've decided to switch to Virgin Mobile for $25/month for 300 mins and unlimited data. Though I have to pay more for the Samsung Intercept phone, ($250), by saving on the plan monthly, over time, it gives me a bigger bang for my bucks. I'm still waiting for the line to be ported and my phone to be activated. Once that's done, I'll be able to check my email and access the web and do all the good stuff with my phone. Android... Able to sync my phone to my Google account is HUGE. Guess I finally caught up with the smartphone phenomenon.

What else? My satellite tv's been acting since last week, often times, it loses signal. So, for the last week, I've been relying more on the internet to get my tv shows and sports fix. I also got more done last weekend (house work and reading). So, if ESPN and all were to offer more online live sport streaming, I might be able survive without cable/satellite tv subscription.
