On eBay, one Twilight premiere ticket costs Php 600.00, four times costly than the regular ticket price of Php 150.00 at most major cinemas in the country. But seeing the movie, especially one that is as anticipated as “Twilight” is one unforgettable experience you can boast off to your friends.

HP TouchSmart tx2 adds a multi-touch screen function to the traditional convertible tablet computer. This means you can use a finger or two to draw on the screen, browse the web, click icons, and control media through HP’s homegrown MediaSmart application.

The TouchSmart tx2 is still a Vista laptop, similar to previous releases from HP. It is of AMD-based CPUs with 12.1-inch screen is powered by an ATI Radeon HD 3200 CPU, and hard drives which range from 160 to 500GB. Wi-Fi is integrated, but there’s no integrated WWAN feature available. With these great features, indeed HP TouchSmart tx2 is a smart laptop. And with great features, comes a huge but reasonable price of $1,150 but it is said to be on sale tomorrow, maybe at the HP shopping website.

*Sigh* With the minimal amount of earnings I get from my websites, I could only dream of these great laptops from HP such as this TouchSmart tx2 and the previously released Compaq CQ-50 139WM Laptop.

Thanks to the handiness of my Asus Eee PC notebook and portability of my Smart Bro prepaid internet,  I am blogging now live from Taguig, amidst the screams of the crowd, almost all of them shouting in unity “We love you Chris Brown and Rihanna!”

The couple performed “Cinderella,” a remix of Rihanna’s original hit, “Umbrella”.  This has heightened the emotions of the crowd, craving for more of these two music icons.  Chris Brown also busted a move of his original hits “Forever” and “With You”, two of the songs that this singer has become popularly known with.  Rihanna also performed some of her biggest hits like “Umbrella” and “Take A Bow”.  The couple had performed more of their hit tracks, much to their fans’ delight.

Note: This is only a fictional review.  Truth is, I was not there.  I couldn’t make it, no matter how much I wanted to.  I’ve been a big fan of these two artists, and their songs are filling up my music library.  I have the complete album collections of them.  Yeah, that’s how big my adoration to these two is. Unfortunately, I have some important duties to do than screaming along with the crowd.

This post has been made yesterday and scheduled for posting today because at this moment, I maybe attending a patient at the Emergency Room, or doing rounds in the wards, or at the X-ray reading a skull series.  Dang.

I sound pathetic, and I am logging off.  Hope, I will still have a chance to see these two perform live, in the future. *sigh*

Last November 1, 2008, I mistyped my e-mail address on the recipient’s e-mail field for my TNX.net payment.  The payout usually takes at most 5 days but this time it took longer than 7 days.   I thought it was one of the busy days for TNX that could have resulted to the delay.

I tried another transaction and noticed that my e-mail address saved on the field lacked one letter.  Worried as I was, I immediately sent a support ticket to the TNX staff and asked about what I should do about my problem.  They promptly replied telling me that it could be fixed through creating an e-mail address similar to the mistyped one, then add it to my Paypal e-mail addresses thereafter.  Fortunately, the e-mail address was still available so I was able to register it to my e-mail client, add it to my Paypal e-mail address, and finally, received the pending payment from TNX.

There are still instances though that my business instincts and plans set in.  A colleague asked if my earnings will solely come from my practice.  My answer’s always “no” because I want to venture on an internet cafe business.  I want to have a fully-equipped internet cafe so I will need a huge starting capital for it.  My online earnings will not probably suffice even if I save up from now on, so I need a better alternative to get a capital.

Unsecured Business Loans will probably be a better alternative over secured loans because it wouldn’t require a collateral.  I heard of some good firms that provide unsecured business loans such as EZUnsecured.   The people behind EZUnsecured are serious about their business dealings and clients.  They could probably give me some good advice about unsecured business loans. I might try out their service someday.

The hard drive has 160GB of storage and a 5400RPM, the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD uses shared memory (this is not the best option), and the screen looks great at 15.4-inches and featuring HP’s BrightView technology.  Clearly, Compaq CQ-50 139WM is an improved version of previous releases from HP Compaq.

Other great feature of Hewlett-Packard’s CQ50 139WM are the Windows Vista Home Basic OS,  SuperMulti 8X DVD±R/RW drive, 802.11b/g WLAN, Integrated Microphone, 3 USB ports, and a 6-Cell Lithium-Ion battery.
