MagicJack

Posted By Admin on August 31, 2010

I have been doubtful of this Magic Jack infomercial but not anymore. My Aunt who visited the USA bought one for herself and had it installed in her laptop and she now got  a US phone number. When she got back to the Philippines, she called me using her Magic Jack.

A friend of my Mom, also bought one and has been using her Magic Jack to call her relatives  in the  USA and Canada.

Because of this I bought one too hoping to call free to the Philippines but too bad  I found out that I can’t.  I was upset but it was my fault that I didn’t bother to research first before buying.

So before you buy you have to understand these things:

~ A Magic Jack number calling another MagicJack number, the call is free..

~ Magic Jack can call any US and Canada number …

~ People in the US and Canada can call the Magic Jack US number that’s located anywhere in the world  …

~ Magic Jack should only dial US and Canada phone numbers, if not, one has to buy the international minutes to be able to call another country other than US and Canada…

~ There is a renewal fee or fee of some sort after a year …

~ The reception is a bit choppy sometimes especially if the magicJack is connected to a PC that has slow Internet connection…

So there you go folks, this is my firsthand experience with the MagicJack and overall it is working okay, I am using it as a landline for now but I might send it to my sister in the Philippines so I can call her and not type when chatting.

I decided to write and post  this because  I know that lots of my fellow Filipinos want to call the US and it’s expensive so this is good information for all of you . Also, if you are doing business with people in the US and Canada, this will also save you a lot of bucks as you can call them for free if you have the MagicJack unit.

I Hate Shopping Here

Posted By Admin on April 30, 2010

Opo, naiinis talaga ako pag nagshashopping ako dito ng damit (tatagalugin ko para di maintindihan ng iba).

I go to  department stores like  Macy, Sears, Mervyn’s ( na nagsara na ngayon) , Kohl’s, Old Navy pero wala , lagi na lang akong umuuwing luhaan, or if meron man na bitbit, pangpuno lang sa dati nang punong closet.  My husband always teases me when I try to shop because he knows that either I will end up with nothing or end up buying something that I will not be wearing at all.

Ewan ko lang pero di ko talaga type ang  mga damit dito, masyadong mababa ang mga  necklines, masyadong mga low-waist ang mga pantalon na konting tuwad mo lang , kita na ang you-know-what mo. Tapos ang mga blouses maiikli, hindi tulad ng mga blouses sa Pinas na medyo mahaba haba , para if meron ka, di masyadong halata kasi mahaba ang blouse. ;)

Yung material nila dito, if cotton, yon bang parang madaling magfade, sabagay yung iba kasi galing sa Vietnam or China, or Mexico.  Ewan ko if natataon lang na ganong cotton nakikita ko, and  if hindi naman cotton yung material, un bang mga mga stretchable? Tapos pa, ang mga sizes, pag sa medium ako , masikip, pag large naman, maluwag??? Kaloka di ba ??

Hay , kakamiss talaga magshopping sa Pilipinas kong mahal, like  SM . Sa SM Mall pa lang, dami mo na pagpipilian, di mo na kailagan magdrive around punta sa iba’t ibang stores kasi sa SM palang, dami nang brands and marami ding pagpipilian na stores sa loob ng mall tulad ng Rustan’s, Cinderella, Bench, at kung ano ano pa. Limot ko na ibang stores kasi sa SM pa lang , nakikita ko na kagad ang hinahanap ko.

I frequently chat with my Mom in the Philippines  thru Yahoo messenger. We got to talk about different things and by and by  she confided in me that she kept emailing my sister-in-law but that it just keeps being rejected by Damon. I was rather perplexed. Who in the world is that Damon and how can he reject my mom’s email ??? Can someone reject another’s email??

And then I remembered…

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at yahoo.com. I’m afraid I wasn’t able to deliver your message to the following addresses. This is a permanent error; I’ve given up. Sorry it didn’t work out.

But at least he was apologetic, right ? ;)
