Colorful Rhinestone LV Handbag Pattern USB Flash Memory Drive U Disk 2G/4G/8G
So, I’m still dreaming of owning an LV bag but as much as I wanted to, still, I can’t afford to shell out a huge amount of money just to buy a bag. It’s expensive but I know it’s durable and worth collecting. I’ll just leave it to those that can brave the pricey tag.
Anyway, if I can’t buy an LV bag, then I’m sure I can buy one of these colorful rhinestone LV Handbag Pattern USB Flash Memory Drive that I can use to save some of my files for it only costs around $14 and up. Aren’t they cute? It is available at http://www.budgetgadgets.com/ in 2G/4G and 8G capacity.
These days, I’ve been seeing lots of cute USB flash drive in different colors and shapes and I will not wonder anymore if designers can make one out of a metal hose or a rubber shoes.

Content Coding error at Firefox
It’s sure is annoying night for me last week when I encountered this problem while accessing my Yahoo Mail. This CONTENT CODING ERROR appears when I tried to read my yahoo mail. I swear I did nothing but suddenly the error appeared.
I tried searching for possible solutions online but the procedures are quite complex so I did not follow it. To solve it, what I did was to upgrade my Firefox 3.6 to Firefox 4 and thankfully the error is gone because I have a fresh new copy of FF4 browser which, is also faster.

My Appliance/ Gadget Wish List for 2011
I know Christmas is over and I should penny pinch this year but how can I have not a list when I’ve been seeing and hearing lots of gadgets. Aside from wanting to buy new kitchen utensils and furniture in the house, here’s a list of gadgets that I want to have. I guess I also deserve to have these and I hope and pray that I can buy them this year.
1. Samsung 42″ LCD TV series 4 or higher
My mom has been requesting me to replace our old LG TV at the sala and she wanted an LCD one. Actually, we have seen LCD TV at a nearby store but when I heard that these TV is cheaper in Riyadh so I asked my sister to canvass this for me and if it’s practical to buy it there.
2. HP Desktop PC
Been wanting to have another HP desktop that I can use at our house. Eventhough I have my Dell laptop already, I wanted a bigger monitor and more durable pc especially when I’m designing graphics. My laptop is overheating already and wanted a more durable one.
3. Canon IXUS point and shoot digi cam
My old Canon p/s cam broke 2x already and it finally gave up last December. I have no choice but to buy another one so that I can also share it with my brother. I have a DSLR but at times its too bulky to bring anywhere.
4. Panasonic Lumix 5 (LX5)
Been hearing good reviews about this camera and thought it’s also cool to have one. Just like I said it’s a good option to bring anywhere as I’m too tired to carry the bulky DSLR that I have.
As you can see, cellphone is not on my wish list eventhough I already need to replace my “jurassic” Nokia phone already. I guess that is not my priority this year most especially when I’m too lazy to text using my phone hehe.
