pda issues

last nov., 5 as i was scanning for a pre-owned pda (personal digital assistant) unit on the web which i want to use for ebook reading.. i come across this handspring visor deluxe unit. i got to use it for only 2 weeks... medyo nagka-problem na yung unit. after trying to 'revive' it for use, hard reset and all (for 2-3 days), i decided to give it back to the seller.

Handspring Visor Deluxe

while waiting for weekend, usap daw kasi kami ng seller how to send my money back and to send the unit back. i posted an ad at sulit.com.ph, saying that i'm looking for a pre-owned pda unit that i will use for ebook reading. here are their responses:

Palm Zire 31

Palm Tungsten W

Palm Zire 72

Palm IIIc

specifications here. i have to decide which one i will buy.. or should i buy a brand new pda/pdaphone instead. hhmm....

dissapointed

last 2 weeks, i found out that i wasn't able to be sorted out as to which house i will belong. i'm talking about this HP fanatics i joined... for them, 'sit in' students are considered visitors like krum of drumstrung and fleur of beauxbatons. i felt really sad, i felt i don't belong. i don't want to change it to be a 'student'... having 'lessons' and stuff.

anyway, i still get to visit the site once in awhile...

kababawan

since i'm so fond of Harry Potter... i also became a member of this HP fanatics. there, we had to be sorted as to which house we should belong and we can be 'students' (online that is) and we should also have wands, of course, coz we're 'wizards'. there is this site where you can 'shop' for your wand. it's soo cool... i feel like a kid again!

here's my wand, it's from Ollivander's:
Length: 6 in. (15.3 cm)
Type of Wood: Oak
Magical Element: Unicorn Hair
