Christmas City Project 2011 - Preparation

It's the -ber months again and here in the Philippines, we see traces of the arrival of Christmas as early as September. You can see local Christmas decors like parols being sold by the road, toy stores playing Christmas songs and homes being decorated with Christmas ornaments. Yes, as early as September.

Last year, we started early November. We create a Christmas city diorama yearly. My mom loves collecting those houses and we started with just 2-3 houses. A few years back, we agreed that we would only buy 2-3 houses yearly. Well, for the past 3 years, we've been buying 10-20 houses a year! Can't blame mom. She loves Christmas stuff.

This year, I think we are starting early. This year, we started on the first week of September. We already fixed the new table layout where the Christmas village/ city will be placed and I'm excited that we will be utilizing the fire place this year. Also, we bought some new items including around 10 new houses and a line up of police cars. As I was searching for police cars, my brother noticed this highly detailed British police.


Impulsively, we bought all the Mitsubishi Evo X british police made my Tomica in that toy shop that day. Tomica is one of our favorite toy car makers. This Evo X police has the number 39 in the box. This will serve as our police car for the police station from now on as we have random, no alike police cars for the past few years. Price per toy car was Php 169.00 each.


That is our city plan this year. Those gray shades are tables in different elevations. The yellow line is where the train tracks will be. Our train and tracks are from Tomy. I invested in one last year. Of course, this is not a business investment but more of a happiness investment. I loved trains since I was a kid and this is the only time that I bought one. We would be needing a huge amount of tracks this year as the set I bought last year is only good for the circular table as seen in the layout above. If only I could get a toy store here in the Philippines do an ex-deal with me hahahaha!

Snow plow train | Php 1,700.00

Car In-Dash Camera Records Japan Tsunami

This is one of the many reasons why I want to have an in-dash camera installed in my car.



Aside from recording everything while in operation, this also acts as a blackbox. I might be importing some units soon and I will let you know once it's available here in the Philippines.

Send me an email at cheftonio (@) gmail (.) com if you want to be updated when the stocks arrive.

Anti-Finger Print Screen Protector from Armorz

After buying a new mobile phone, of course, you will look for the  best possible screen protector in order to ensure the maximum overall defense against possible scratches to your expensive and  beloved gadget. My biggest problem with screen protectors is the fact that they are not created equal. More often than not some
existing screen protectors do provide sufficient scratch protection,  but most of them have side effect of “clouding” your screen as the level of transparency they offer can vary widely to as low as 75 percent visibility.

Thankfully in my continued search for a screen protector that offers a lot of promises, I finally stumbled upon the newly released Armorz Anti- Fingerprint Anti-Abrade Screen Protector for iPhone 4.  Now you can protect your favorite gadgets with a full body protector! It guards against scratches, marks, dust and dirt, and
keeps your iPhone 4 in perfect condition. This Protector Covers the whole front screen including the camera hole to provides a full coverage from dust and scratches. Screen protectors provide crystal-clear visibility and do not interfere with touch-screen operation. It fits the Apple iPhone 4 4th Generation perfectly. The
film is easy to apply and can be removed and washed for reuse, without leaving residue behind!







Additional info that I learned by applying the screen protector:
• Ensure that your screen is virtually 100% free of any dust
particles whatsoever to ensure that these do not become
permanently bonded to the Clear Armor film
• Applying the film to the back of your mobile phone is always
a bit more tricky and requires some patience particularly for
the edges.

Overall there’s no doubt I am impressed with the Armorz Anti-Fingerprint Anti-Abrade Screen Protector. The way it protects against scratches and smudges is great. Without a doubt this is the best value body & screen protectors available for your mobile phone today.

Armorz Screen Protector is distributed by Tenkie Box Concept Inc here in the Philippines.

Armorz Screen Protector HD

Thinking of getting a clear Screen protector for you iPhone 4? You might want to consider getting Armorz HD Screen Protector for iPhone 4. There are several brands of Screen protectors out on the market today. The problem is, you've got dozens to choose from, most of which aren't worth your money.

I've had experience with numerous different brands, quite expensive but offered extremely disappointing results. Some needs to be cut to fit your device. Consistently, each offered bubbly application results,
poor clarity, and a short life span due to the fact that the protectors themselves were easily marred and scratched. But Armorz HD Screen Protector is the most elegant, cost-effective, and convenient way to protect the screen of your device. We all want that our screen protector will not interfere with color or induce extra glare on the LCD, and easy to install.


Armorz HD Screen Protector is compatible for iPhone4. The film guarantees zero-to-minimal bubbles during application. It is reusable and easily applied. Static-cling Application: Self-adhering film attaches itself to the screen. No adhesive is used this mean no sticky feeling after the application. The instructions were pretty easy to follow and have decent pictorial to show you how to install it. I recommend that you do everything the instructions ask. It makes a quick and easy application without the mess.

Armorz HD Screen Protector for iPhone 4 is designed to fit your iPhone’s screen perfectly. This will allow full access to the controls and touch screen. It also includes cutouts for the home button, speaker, and front camera which will protect your screen from daily scratches, dust, scrapes, and normal signs of wear. You don’t have to worry the film will protect your screen and take all the abuse from scratches, dust, normal
signs of wear. I am delighted with the result this product has offered. After dealing with a couple of bargain basement screen protection products, Armorz HD Screen Protector for iPhone 4 did satisfy my needs.

Armorz Screen Protector is distributed by Tenkie Box Concept Inc here in the Philippines.

This Guy Has My MacBook Tumblr Page

Ok, it's been a few hours since I first read of that Tumblr page. At first, I was really convinced that it really worked. The more I read and see the images, the less I believe. Now, I'm actually unsure if this is REAL or if this is just a marketing stunt. For entertainment purposes, here are some of the notable (read: funny) comments in that site.

Lexus RX300's Backup Camera Feature Not as Effective

I saw this funny video about a guy trying to be very patient with a female driver trying to backup a Lexus RX300. I think it's the second generation Lexus RX300 and if I'm not mistaken, this should have a backup camera feature. I guess car manufacturers have to think of another way to help "aunties" backup their car more efficiently.

Enjoy the video! :)

The Lexus RX300 XU30 (Second Generation) has the ff features:
The second generation RX 330/350 interior featured genuine Golden Bird's Eye Maple or Walnut wood trim, a sliding multi-level center storage console, dual-zone climate control, and power tilt/telescopic steering column. Available options included a 210-watt, 11-speaker Mark Levinson premium sound system, DVD-based navigation system with backup camera, rear seat DVD player with wireless headphones, and panoramic three panel moonroof.
I suggest that Auntie buy a Mercedes Benz B class instead because it has an auto parking feature:


or probably a 2011 BMW 5-series:
