Sandisk Ultra 32GB OTG Dual Drive USB 3.1 Type-C

The hassle of using Windows and Mac laptop. Going from USB Type A to USB Type C. Of course there is no missing out the dongle that you need to buy to be able to copy your files to the Mac from Type A USB drive, dang!

As I want to easily copy files from my Windows laptop to my Macbook 12-inch laptop, I decided to look for a flash drive that has both Type A and C port. As a regular customer of Lazada, where else should I start looking?

So, I login to my laptop search of Sandisk drive which support both type of ports. Luckily, I found one which I think is a good one as it hide the USB connector (no metal tip protruding in both ends of the drive). Although, I would love to have the 64GB but it is not available which forces me to buy the 32GB version. I think the price is fair for this capacity. It is way cheaper than buying from physical store in malls. I paid 699 pesos as the price does not include the shipping fee.

Delivery is a breeze. It took just 3 days to receive the product. I am kind of excited to use this USB stick as it will help me get rid of the dongle ('the dongle'). I believe it is a very important companion for software engineer like me. Especially that I am using different type of laptops.

Here are may 'not expert' writeup for this drive.

699 pesos - gone are the free shipping from Lazada.

The familiar blue plastic where the product was secured during delivery. I used scissor to cut it clean as I re-use it for something else.

The USB drive is secured in a bubble wrap. The seller shows a great care not to damage the product during shipment. So, got mine pristine.

The package contains a leaflet with warning not to buy from unauthorized store. This product comes from Lazada authorized store. Hopefully, I got the authentic one. Cross my fingers.

Hiding the Type A and Type C connector.

The USB Type A connector for laptop with no Type C port.

Of course, the USB Type C connector. Now I can use this drive to copy file to and from my Macbook.

Write speed is quite good. Read is around 150MB/s which make transfer of file from this drive to destination folder a breeze. I am satisfied of the transfer speed vs my very old Sony 8GB drive.

Microsoft Office365

Let's be honest about it. Apple office document apps sucks. Although, I am using Macbook 12-inch model as my personal laptop, I hate their office apps not because they are buggy or not user-friendly; but because of their limited adoption. Few people are using it (none of my friends and colleague uses it). I cannot use it in my work because people will curse me. There is only one instance where I used it, i.e. during our hackaton event. That's it. As expected, like any office worker; I am a regular user of Microsoft Office, i.e. word, powerpoint and excel. I bought office365 since it is cheaper and you always get the latest version. I am using it for 2 years now and my license will end August of this year (August 08, 2018 to be exact). I bought my last 2 licenses from lazada.com.ph for less than 2,000 pesos. As I don't want to lose my access to onedrive.com and office apps; I bought a new 1 year license from lazada.com.ph for 1,499 pesos inclusive of the shippi...

Earthwood Guitar String

My daughter requested a guitar because she wants to learn playing the instrument. We went to SM North to and buy the guitar at JB music store for 900+ pesos. She picked the gray-ish color. It is a beginner's guitar and with the price, I would say, the quality is average. But you can buy the same quality guitar at RJ music store at slightly lower price. One thing that she doesn't like is the strings which is painful to the fingers since they are very 'hard' (not sure if that is the right term though). So I checked Amazon to get some 'soft' guitar strings. Luckily, I found Earthwood that has a good reviews. I ordered and ship the item through my-shoppingbox.com. After almost 15 days, I received the strings. I replaced the old strings and tuned them using an Android App. It really made a big difference playing with Earthwood strings. It is more forgiving to the fingers and has a better sound quality (I am not a musician - just an opinion). My daughter is n...
