I finally made up my mind to get me a new laptop. What I haven’t decided on is which one to buy, and I’ve been thinking about it for over a week now. I have two choices: that 7-inch Asus Eee PC, or a regular 12-inch laptop (for the same price as the Asus).
I’ve done the whole pros versus cons thing, and am no closer to a decision: With the Asus, I get something super portable. It can easily fit into my bag, so I don’t have to worry about bringing an extra laptop bag (on top of my backpack filled with gym stuff, and, on some days, my baon). So I won’t be tamad to bring it with me. BUT it’s only got 4GB worth of internal memory—about as much as an iPod holds!

We’ve all played Trip to Jerusalem, Bring Me, and the Boat Is Sinking countless times. So at your next family reunion, why not try one of these party games?
Kim Jong Il. I learned this game from Eugene Levy, who played Jim’s endearing dad in the American Pie movies. He was talking to David Letterman about how his family spends the holidays, and he brought up this game. He said that, translated, it means “Name that tune”!

I’ve always prided myself in packing light, which, for me, consists of bringing everything I wanna wear, everything I might wanna wear (I always end up with the 3rd outfit I put on), hair dryer, hair plancha, and my 7-pound kikay kit—all of which fit into an overnight bag when I’ll be gone for 5 days. Although I do believe in dressing for comfort, I don’t believe in porontongs and Hawaiian shirts—and I do not believe in fanny packs. Just because I’ll be booked in the backpacker’s district doesn’t mean I have to dress the the part. You are virtually your homeland’s envoy. REPRESENT. (Plus, you’ll never know what gorgeous piece of tourist ass you’re gonna meet—hence the 7-pound kikay kit.) On the flipside, however, I more so absolutely do not believe in spending on ONE outfit what I cuold spend on a roundtrip Cebu Pacific budget airfare. So here’s a starter list of clothing staples you’ll need when traveling in style ON A BUDGET. More tactics and tips to follow in Part 2!
