Lots of good things this week -
1. Thank you to B.T. of citibank and Tita Nonny for my new credit card. Now I have a card that really shows me "love." It has fabulous welcome gifts (free massage at Clarins etc), 20% discount on your birthday and anniversary weeks, 3% rebates on all Rustan's and SSI purchases and lots lots more. Amazing.
2. Thank you to my flickr friend M.A. (girlfactor) for sending me these two fabulous books through Stef! Thanks Stef. These books are so cute. Illustrations are wonderful.
3. Thank you to my good friend -- you know who you are. She gave me these crystals. Fluorite is supposed to absorb radiation from the computer and Labradorite is supposed to repel negative energy. Love them!
4. Thanks to my BIL Jojo in New York for sending us Magic Jack. I can't tell you enough how amazing this gadget is. We've been calling Toronto like it was just next door and super-mondo-telebabad. Using a regular phone - no headsets or cameras. Just a normal phone (never had the patience with skype etc). After spending P25,000 on long-distance calls from Indonesia to the Philippines (I was there for 8 days and terribly missed my husband and kids), I've sworn off using Globe for any long distance calls ever.
The Magic Jack doesn't go on international roaming though. So it's still going to be a problem when we travel. (Note to self: look for long distance prepaid cards in local area, rather than use Globe). The Magic Jack basically allows you to call the US and Canada like it was just next door (vice versa). And that's good enough for me. For now. It'll just be a matter of time til someone releases the same gadget for roaming cellphones.
EDIT: Day 3 of my Magic Jack and it keeps hanging up after 1 minute. The receiver of the call hears me but I can't hear them. This is a major problem. Any ideas how to solve?
