I choose Cannon than nikon because i believed na mas maganda ang cannon kasi mas matibay at magaganda ang specs ng cannon para sakin kasi mas handy ang cannon kesa sa nikon na hindi ko masyadong kilala kasi atleast ung cannon may ibang items which are better like printers and other gadgets.
Pero nasasainyo rin kung anu ang pipiliin nyu ang akin lang suggestion ko lang po ito at ito talaga ang pipiliin ko syempre ibat iba tayo ng hinahanap pero batay sa specs mas maganda ang canon.

MEDIA NOCHE


                Media Noche is one of the ways of the people in celebrating New Year’s Day. It compose of some foods like something circle, some delicious delicacies and something sweets. Filipino peoples spend their money a lot in this event because they believe that if they celebrate the New Year’s Day with many foods they will receive many graces the whole year. The foods must be eaten after the celebration.
                
                On us, we make sure that all fruits are in there which compose of apples, oranges, peers, etc. and pineapple as the main centerpiece in the fruit group. Every year our mother was preparing delicious foods for all of us. The cooking process always starts early in the morning because she wants all foods are completely prepared on the night before the new year, so all of us are busy since morning.
                
                When we are waiting, us and our relatives are in one place to have some fun. Some of them for us we grab a drink while we are waiting on the event. This program starts always at seven in the evening and end during eleven because all of us were returning into our houses in waiting for the countdown.
                
                When someone in our neighbors said that it is new year’s time, all of us in our village are launching their firecrackers, ignite some explosive firecrackers and everyone are making different but very loud noise in celebrating that day.
                
                After that ceremony, we ate all of our foods which are in the table and when we are not satisfied, we went to our relatives to help them eating their prepared foods until we make our stomach hard as our head. I always come to my grandfather’s house because they always prepared lechon and beef stakes and I love eating those kinds of foods. And also I make sure I have space in my stomach for the deserts. In deserts, I usually went to my godmother’s house because her buko salad are the best as well as her personalized bake cake. Those kinds of deserts satisfied my taste bud very much.  I am totally full if I ate those foodstuffs.  After that  I went home to have some rest and to have some sleep because in the morning we are all busy again in cleaning all we have done like left over foods and the trash of the firecrackers are everywhere.

Balak kong puntahan.....

Ang villa julia ay isang resort na matatagpuan sa silang, cavite. Isa ito sa pinagmamalaking pasyalan sa aming lugar. Ito ang napili kong puntahan sa darating na pasko sa kadahilanang halos taun taon na lng ay sa malayo kami nagrereunion ng pamilya. Gusto ko namang maranasan na mapuntahan ang ganda at serbisyo ng villa julia. Tsaka sa isang banda bakit lalayo ka pa kung may mas malapit naman.

Ito po yung ibang pasilidad ng Villa Julia:


Malaki ang swimming pool ng villa julia na tamang tama naman sa laki ng aming angkan para sa nalalapit naming reunion.

Masarap magistambay sa tree house na yan na sa pagkakaalam ko ay kakagawa lamang para sa mga nais magpunta.

 medium cabanas
small cabanas

Ito yung mga cottage na pwedeng pagstayan ng mga papasok at mg papasko sa villa julia tulad namin na sinasabay ang pasko sa reunion para isang handaan na lng.


Masarap magpahinga sa kubo na yan kung napapagod ka sa mga events na pinaggagawa nyu sa resort.

          

          Maraming magagandang pasyalan sa buong bansa ngunit hindi mabubuo ang pasko nyu kung hindi nyu naman kasama ang mga mahal nyu sa buhay. Pero kung ngbabalak kayu na pumunta sa mga ganitong resorts ay dun na lng ,kayu sa malapit na resort sa inyo. Nakatiipid na kayo sa pamasahe, hindi pa kayu masyadong pagod sa byahe.

Which is the BEST?



Tablet, PC or Laptop
            
            These three gadgets are the most used gadgets of the Filipinos now a day. Some Filipinos have used these top gadgets of the country for their personal needs or sometimes for luxury. Students, businessman, teachers have the great population in using tablet, PC, and laptop but which of these gadgets are being used or preferred to use by the people even though they are useful in any kind of works.


            Tablet was produced lately. It has the size as a notebook. You can store music, videos, and pictures etc. on this or even reviewers for students. Tablet Company proposed the tablets in schools because instead of buying books they can stored the data in this gadget and use it as a source of knowledge and you can use it also for online activities.


                        A small, relatively inexpensive computer designed for an individual user. In price, personal computers range anywhere from a few hundred dollars to thousands of dollars. All are based on the microprocessor technology that enables manufacturers to put an entire CPU on one chip. Businesses use personal computers for word processing, accounting, desktop, publishing, and for running spreadsheet and database management applications. At home, the most popular use for personal computers is for playing games.


            Laptop is the common used gadget among the three Laptop computers, also known as notebooks, are portable computers that you can take with you and use in different environments. They include a screen, keyboard, and a trackpad or trackball, which serves as the mouse. Because laptops are meant to be used on the go, they have a battery which allows them to operate without being plugged into a power outlet. Laptops also include a power adapter that allows them to use power from an outlet and recharges the battery.


  When buying gadgets we must first check the specification of each gadget for ultimate satisfaction and avoiding disappointments  therefore any of this gadget is useful         
but on this top three gadgets which is preferred to use by the people. For me I preferred to use laptop than personal computers and tablets because we can use laptop for school works like presenting reports, making thesis, etc. This gadget can be carry in any places you want because its weight is not heavy as computers. Even though tablet is the lightest among the three, laptop was doing great part of our college lives.
            Laptops can be powerful and convenient, the convenience often comes at a price. Most laptops cost several hundred dollars more than a similarly equipped desktop model with a monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Furthermore, working long hours on a laptop with a small screen and keyboard may be more fatiguing than working on a desktop system. Therefore, if portability is not a requirement for your computer, you may find better value in a desktop model but then again I personally choose laptop as the best among the three.


But in the end you and only yourself knows what is the best among the three it is just only my opinion based on my experience if you buy one of these gadgets make sure to see the specification of the gadget because sometimes it better to use what we don't want than what we want so make sure the specification of the gadget you choose is the one gets your ideal  specs. or better.
