Yey, my Dell Inspiron is already 1 year old this month and still in its great performance though the battery is not charging well anymore. I need to replace it asap if I want to use the laptop with the battery. As of now, it’s not my priority so I think the battery can wait in the meantime.

I remember the day I bought my Dell laptop, I was so excited and my heart is beating fast while looking for models that will suite my computer needs. I even was tempted to get a laptop insurance for it but just got no budget for it. Right now, I’m eyeing for a new HP desktop next year is possible.

HP Pavilion Laptop

I sure love HP! I have been using my HP desktop for 3 years now and so far so good. I didn’t have any major problem with it except for some crashes. If I’m going to replace I’d still choose HP brand for I know the quality and it’s performance. I know there are nice new HP pavillion models that are out in the market today.

I’ve been meaning to buy an HP laptop for the longest time but I could not find any sale on our local HP distributor last year so I end up buying a Dell laptop. The price of an HP pavillion laptop was a bit higher and my budget didn’t quite fit on what was available. Anyway, I still love my Dell laptop.

I was actually smirking when I saw this pig lighter. I’m sure smokers will have a blast using this when they light up their cigar. Funny thing is that lighter designs are becoming funny and crazy, just imagine this pig lighter where the fire is coming out from its nostrils.. Hahaha quite a great idea huh? What makes it more funny is that your can refill this lighter with a butane gas via his ass.
