After more than 7 years of being with my trusty Asus K42J I have now bought a new laptop-- an Asus X540! And even though it wasn't a flagship gadget, boy, what an upgrade! + The Backstory + (If you're not a fan of my endless ramblings go skip to the actual review part) It's been months of me planning to get myself a new laptop but I don't have the heart to do so. This is officially (not including my condo) the most expensive purchase I'll be doing but even so, I would like to keep my price list between 30-40k PHP which I think is good enough for a mid range laptop. I know I could go as high as 50k if need be but that is stretching it. I might need to detach my head from my body while swiping my card! For gadgets we all know that cash is always good but I feel like I shouldn't because I'm prepping my finances in case the Japan Visa is a go (crossing my fingers BF's docs to be released soon). Besides, my credit is really good. I rarely need to pay anything...

I am a sucker for those who go up the bus and ask for money. I don't give to religious groups though (Except for one. Years later I still remember that guy who deemed sincere in quick gospel. I mean the bus started tinkling with coins) and rare times even to beggars on the street (Rarely to those at the overpass and never again to that one who snubbed her nose up on me DISGUSTED EVEN when I gave her good food). On some Fridays that my jeans have pockets and have bills on it I just give them to whoever (I walk home on Fridays) is asking for alms. Basically I give when they are in luck I have some to spare. And don't get me started on death related donations! I feel compelled in giving no matter how it happened. Being able to experience first hand to deal with the burial of a loved one, I know how expensive it would be. I am not being sanctimonious or even being religious about it to be honest. It's me finding out later that I do this only because I can. If you see m...

FAQs Q. How long ? A. 8 episodes around 1 hr each Q. Why do I need to watch this? A. David Tennant and his thick accent. There are also familiar actors here as well for you to watch out for especially if you're a Doctor Who fan. Q. Is the reveal worth it? A. Not if you're going to watch it right after Big Little Lies. The killer is a bit of a letdown IMHO. It felt like our killer came out of nowhere. The only consolation is that it didn't have a buildup like the Night Of setting the expectation of a result too high and ending up too bleh. To me the first season felt like a spring board for our main characters to be introduced and prepped for the next season. I am also lenient on this since I'm watching this years later when it was first aired. The crime(s) committed here are quite shocking and gut wrenching when you think about it. Q. There's a second season?! A. And a third now. Will have to watch them first though. There are tons of similarly themed TV series but ...

FAQs Q. How long will I stay in the couch for this? A. 8 hrs tops! Just 7 episodes so hurry up and be a hermit for a day! Q. Is it worth the 8 hours? A. Absolutely! It's fast paced, no unnecessary back stories. Tons of flashbacks that would make sense eventually. The actors are perfect for their roles in an unexpected way. Where else would you see Nicole Kidman as a battered housewife? How about Shailene Woodley and Zoe Kravitz as moms? Q. What genre is this? A. Murder mystery. This is reminiscent of How to Get Away With Murder Season 1 when the first scene started with a mystery corpse being found and the entire season narrates how everything culminates to that point. What to love: 1. Chloe. I rarely like kid characters because they are either too annoying or they're easily frightened or too naive. Chloe is the complete opposite. SHE IS THE BEST. She's also the Baby of this series (Baby Driver). Her music taste is so good there are tons of playlist in S...
