Where to go?!

The problem with traveling is that you can only be at one place at one time.

I want to experience new places (Iceland, Finland, Middle East, Bangladesh), yet there are so many places to re-visit and see old friends (Australia, New Zealand, Morocco, Portugal, all over the U.S., Nicaragua).

I am heading to Alaska in June 2010 for my 30th birthday.

I am now planning my travels for 2011.  I am thinking of heading to Australia and NZ to see visit some friends as well as head to Philippines to explore for a little bit.  I've only been to the main island of Philippines (Luzon), I think its time to go back and explore and check it out more.

Where to go?

Hmmmm... Maybe Nicaragua again, I barely scratched the surface on what that country has to offer.  I could see myself spending the summer there learning Spanish, surfing and just hanging out.

Just writing my thoughts, maybe my next travel destination will come to me... hopefully sooner than later...

Until next time.

Aloha...

Hey Blogger world.

Long time no talk.

Weird thing is I haven't been really busy with anything just occupied with random things here and there.  School is now over and I can't believe I had a repeat of last semester, I worked very hard and just pleased that my hard work has been rewarded.

Now that school is over, its just getting back into shape, enjoying summer and doing things I haven't been able to do with school in session.

I am working again with my personal trainer, she's great, we are working out 1-2 times a week.  I have signed up for Bikram again, so I'll be going to class 2-3 times a week.  I was suppose to run this week, but decided to take a week off, which I shouldn't have because I leave for Alaska in 3 weeks (yikes), I guess I'll be running on the daily... o_O

I've been filling most of my time with my iPad, currently playing words with friends (with friends...), We Farm and Castle Craft.  On my Xbox 360, I decided to get the Blockbuster gaming pass for the summer and I am currently playing Final Fantasy XIII, L4D2, Dragon Age Origins: Awakening, Magic the Gathering (2nd expansion pack).

Besides that nothing much really, I decided to give away or sell most of my stuff, I have A LOT of stuff.  I need to clean my car (its been ages), and I can't wait to head out and surf...

3 months until I'm back to the daily grind with school.  Hopefully, this time around, I can get some scholarships!

PS. Call me or text me... I have unlimited mobile minutes and SMS now that I am with Boost Mobile.

Until next time.

My New Cell Phone & Cell Phone Company

 I was really apprehensive about switching to another carrier, since I've had AT&T the past 4 years, but the monthly bill, reception wasn't cutting it anymore.  I've been following Boost Mobile for a while now and after the recent releases of the Blackberry 8330 and the Sanyo Juno, it was time to make the plunge.

I decided to the Sanyo Juno.  A midrange phone known for its messaging capabilities.  I am super happy with this phone, it even has push email (with POP3 accounts).  The emails aren't in HTML, but its enough to check important information, I wouldn't recommend writing long emails on the phone.  The best part of the phone is the ease of texting, there's even a dedicated TEXT button.

Reception and battery life is great.  I haven't charged my phone in 24 hours and I still have 3/4 bars.  Reception is much better as well, I can clearly hear without having to strain.

The best part is my monthly bill is $50.00 + tax (which you can pay pre-pay online or buy the Boost Cards at a local retailer - great for gifts!!)

My recent bill with AT&T was over $60+, which was only for 450 minutes and 1500 texts.  Not only do I have unlimited minutes, unlimited text and push emails.

This cell phone does have some CONS: don't expect much from the camera.  Actually, that was the only CON.

Sorry to all my AT&T friends, but it was time to move on...
