LCD TV

As much as I want one for my own, my mom's 32" CRT TV is too old and behaving naughtier everyday. Well, Mother's day is just around the corner and I think a new LCD TV would make a great surprise present.

I was gonna wait until the actual Mother's day (Aug 12th) to give it to her but couldn't bare the excitement. 32" Samsung Series 4 was just about right for my budget and preferred quality. She seems to enjoy it a lot, may be more on the idea that her son is buying her nice expensive thing. I think next year will be my turn for a new TV.

Flavor of the Year

I usually go for only 3 flavors when it comes to ice-cream, Orange Sorbet, Lime Sorbet, and Strawberry Sorbet. Basically, those that contain less milk as I feel they are a bit too rich for me. Just only recently that I came across a new ice-cream flavor at Baskin Robbin, Petra mixed Pecan, and suddenly became my new favorite. It started with eating at BK31 more often to buying take-away 1 quart a week. Now it is 2 quarts a day!! I hope my addition fade soon before I go broke.

Handbook of Style

Found an interesting book at Kinokuniya book store the other day, title "THE HANDBOOK OF STYLE: A Man's Guide to Looking Good" by Esquire. Well, Esquire is one of the magazines I enjoy reading every now and then so I decided to give this book a try. The handbook babbles on from clothing to accessories to wardrobe. Such a one-stop grooming guide. Frankly, I wasn't going to follow the boot going to follow the book to its every letter. Nonethelesss, it was nice to see how the Western world are doing in term of style.
