We have a family band composed of four girls. Dad has been successful in motivating his daughters at their young age to have the musical instruments instead of dolls as their toys and playmates. Though the all female band is not performing to earn for a living, the girls are usually invited in family and school gatherings. There are also occasions they perform to raise funds for charitable institutions. Now, Dad had decided to replace the old and worn out musical instruments of the girls.

For the all-female band, Dad had already selected what to buy musical instruments online. These are the musical instruments in Dad’s list: Casio WK 3300 76 Keyboard; Epiphone Les Paul 100 Electric Guitar; Ion le d01 Electronic Drums packed with percussion power; and Pioneer MP3 Player. These musical instruments have the best price and known for quality. The all-female band is very excited to have the new set of band instruments delivered.

Ruth, my youngest sister who’s now in her senior year in high school, is planning to take up Civil Engineering in our state university. In preparation for her course, I plan on buying a graphic calculator as a graduation gift.

I’m not really that knowledgeable when it comes to calculators so I asked my friend Carmela, who’s a Civil Engineer, to recommend a good calculator. She said that those calculators by Texas Instruments are pretty good though somewhat expensive. Still, if it’s for someone who’s going to have a lot of Math in her course, she told me that the calculator is worth the price.

Carmela helped me search online and we ended up settling for the TI-83 Plus Graphic Calculator. It is programmable and its graphic display is 16-character x 8-lines. What I love about this is that the calculator is that it is not your conventional calculator. With its 160K user available Flash ROM, you can actually customize TI-83 Plus in a way that you can download and add software programs in it similar to software applications you download to a computer. Pretty amazing, huh? ^_^

My brother Raymond, is very fond of his Fortuner and loves buying gizmos and gadgets for it. His latest gadget is one of Nuvi’s GPS receivers - the Nuvi 360 Personal Travel Assistant.

I went out of town with him once and though I find it cool that he has a GPS navigator, I got tired of the turn-by-turn voice directions uttering street names after two hours of travel. Still, the fact that it helped us steer clear of traffic and arrive on our destination 30 minutes ahead of schedule makes it a good buy. In fact, I plan to buy a portable Garmin Nuvi 360 as well when my dad hands me down the Lancer.

Last month, at our house/office in the province, Jef, Marvin, Joedel and I discussed buying a TV. Since we’re still paying off the bills from last month’s move in, we decided to purchase a flat screen TV this October.

Jef, one of my colleagues and housemate informed me a while ago that they bought a Flat Panel HDTV today. He said they purchased it with a credit card on twelve-months to pay basis to make it easier on the pocket. I was a bit doubtful with their taste on television, so I was extremely relieved to find out that they bought the Sony BRAVIA KDL-40XBR2 40 in. HDTV LCD Television. It’s quite pricey, but based from its features like the Live Color Creation backlight system and TruSurround XT™ audio technology, it is absolutely worth it.

Last 2005, I bought a Nokia 6630 – the latest phone at that time. Two years later, although there are already a lot of cellular phones which are way better and has more cool features that came out, I can say that Nokia 6630 was a good investment on my part.

Why? It has most of the essential features of the latest models, and with its expandable memory, I can pretty much install on my 6630 most of the software you can find in the latest cellular phones. Then again, if someone offered me a Samsung SGH-D900 (comes with a powerful 3.13 megapixel camera and TV-output function), an Apple iPhone (8 GB), a Nokia 7370 (I really love the Warm Amber, this phone totally wins the beauty pageant) or a RIM BlackBerry 8700c Cellular Phone, I’d happily accept it and donate my current cell phone. Who wouldn’t? 0:p
