Toinks!

Samsung Electronics Co. has unveiled a new side-by-side high-end refrigerator model that is equipped with Wi-Fi capabilities! The model is named after its Italian designer Zipel Massimo Zucchi.

What makes this new refrigerator model really interesting is that it has a built-in 10-inch touch screen that is capable of Internet surfing. Owners can pull up online recipes and nutritional information for different types of food without much hassle. It also allows display of Google Calendar entries, news and weather reports, or of a slideshow of your favorite family photos.

For now, this is available only in South Korea, commanding a whopping price of 2.49 million won or roughly $2,182. It will be available globally starting late this month.

In the first quarter of the movie, I thought Sarah Geronimo would have done a better job as Mia Samonte in “Miss You Like Crazy“. The first few scenes showed a “cute” female lead character, so it was difficult for me not to imagine Sarah as the female lead. However, as the rest of the movie unfolds, I realized no one can do this better than Bea Alonzo. She is a powerful and intense actress, and the rest of the movie was just that — intense.

I would say that the movie was good, but I cannot say it was able to surpass the impact that “One More Chance” made. “One More Chance” also had John Lloyd Cruz (as Popoy) and Bea (as Basha) and it was also directed by Cathy Garcia-Molina, so I expected much from this new project from what I consider a “power trio”. After all, their projects “Close to You” and “One More Chance” were great movies worth watching again and again.

I think the main strength of the movie was also its weakness. It focused on the reality that love is not the only reason for relationships to last or to end. They were probably right, but the romantic side of me (which is the one wanting to watch the movie, in the first place) would have preferred it another way –  a way that shows how truly powerful love can be.

Anyway, the movie was still very good and worth watching — but I’m not sure I would want to watch it again. I think once is enough for me this time.

Deciding on buying our first car was a long process. Of course, it is not easy to part away with hard-earned money, right? It is a good thing that finding useful information on used cars is now as easy as clicking a few buttons. Some offer ultimate convenience by allowing us to search by category. If you need used ford cars or used volkswagen cars, for instance, there is no need to check several different sites. One site can lead you to these cars and more.

Aside from ease of  navigation, which means you can find what you need in no time, another advantage is that we are able to compare prices easily. A used bmw car search could lead you to several choices in terms of vehicle model, transmission type, color, and even car mileage! This will help car buyers to find the vehicle they need while saving time, money and effort.

I definitely got a kick out of this AMAZING live version of my favorite game, Super Mario Brothers!

The video says “Gordon College”, which I presume is this Massachusetts school. I couldn’t stop laughing because of the antics in the video.

Mario forever!

One of our major concerns after buying our first car is keeping it in best condition. It’s our very first car which we bought with our very own money, so I guess it’s only natural if it becomes one of our priorities.

It’s a good thing that there are lots of useful information that can be found online, making the process smoother and less stressful. Even though we had a short course on auto repair, it is great to learn more about basic and not-so-basic concepts in car maintenance. It would be good to know about how to check engine light, what engine knocking is, what happens in a ‘tune up’, how much repairs and replacements would cost, and more.

With Toyota’s massive recall and safety issues, one cannot help but think how important it is to know one’s car. You cannot simply buy a Honda Civic or a Toyota Camry, for example, and let it take care of itself. You need to make sure that it runs in perfect condition to avoid accidents, especially now that we know that even the biggest car manufacturers make mistakes too. You will be amazed with how a quick online research can lead you to great resources about your car’s strengths and weaknesses, as well as how to handle its most common problems.

I saw this image posted on a Facebook friend’s wall. It’s hilarious!

I have not yet made a final decision regarding the May 2010 elections, so this post is in no way promoting or discrediting any candidate. It’s just too funny not to share!
