Timex Easy Reader 40th Anniversary Edition

I found this one as I am browsing the web to look for a good and affordable watch. I read that most of the casual user prefer Timex easy reader as an everyday watch. The size is not big which will quitely slips through cuffs. The face is easy to read and indiglo is dependable companion during night or when the light is low. 
I checked www.amazon.com and found the 40th edition which I think is better that buying the non-edition model. The price is just right for people with shallow pocket like me. What I did not consider is the shipping which almost cost the same as the price! I am buying fromwww.amazon.com US and shipping the item to Philippines via www.my-shoppingbox.com. The reason why I forced to buy from www.amazon.com is because the Timex store in the Manila doesn't have yet the edition stock.

After a couple of weeks, I received the watch. It has a soft leather band with red keeper and red at the edge of the band which make it look a bit premium. The face is white with very easy to read arabic numbers. The hour and minute arms are black with second arm in red. The band has 18mm width which will look like a toy watch for anyone with a big arm. Luckily, my arm is small which is a good size for this watch. I think this watch will look stunning if I change the band to stainless.





At back of the watch is the 40th anniversary stamped into it.




Red color at the end of the band and 'T' on the crown.

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...
