dust cloud

Posted by rob on

i just responded to a vehicular accident yesterday which occurred a few kilometers from the rig.  there was not enough information about the situation and the status of the persons involved in the accident so i expected the worst, but prayed god that it won’t be that bad.  after less than an hour of travel in the skid road, me and my saudi driver made it at the scene – thanking the lord as i saw the driver and his passenger were okay though they suffered some minor bruises and abrasions.

we found out that they were side swiped by an incoming vehicle, the impact causing their vehicle to roll over.  it was out of the drivers’ poor visibility of the road due to a dust cloud that formed.  i also checked the passengers of the other vehicle that included some children and good thing no one was hurt.

a new vaio

Posted by rob on

last month before going for days off, i sold my 18 month old sony vaio cr series notebook to one of my co-workers for i wanted to get myself a new one for christmas.  i checked online some hewlett packard “pavillion” models because i was looking for a multimedia notebook on which hp is well known, but still i decided to stick with a sony vaio brand.  i never really had any technical problems with my old cr series except the operating system was windows vista.

“designed for comfortable daily use, vaio nw series puts you and your family at ease with its “naturhythm” texture, two-tone finish, 15.5-inch lcd with small footprint, and supremely user-friendly operation.  sony vaio nw series is a slim notebook with calm black finish delivers 15.5 inches of vibrant clarity while taking up minimal space. its user-friendly features include one-touch quick web access and music playback with the display off button”.

i purchased a sony vaio nw series notebook that has a unique “waved body design” that comes in black color.  It has an intergrated blu-ray drive, 2gb main memory, 320gb hdd, a glossy display and a sound that is crisp as i watched videos and listened to music.  the nw series also comes with intelcore 2 duo processor and the new genuine windows 7 home premium pack – because vista sucks!  lol!

so if you’re looking for an all around entertainment notebook, the nw series is in fact a good choice.

in the philippines, the latest sony nw series retails for about P65,000.00 (as of december, 2009).
