Got A Netbook....

Yesterday evening, I trooped to a local mall to buy myself a netbook that would fit my budget. I was looking for the NEO brand that cost around Php. 10,000.00. After a few glances, I spotted a netbook from firefly mobile, or the Indigonetworks netbook.
The first thing that I notice is that it dropped price from the original of about 10%. The OS bundled with the system was now Ubuntu linux from Windows 7. I was cautious about it because of the bad reviews received online. I was reluctant at first but I bought it out of budget constrain and curiosity.
When I returned home, I immediately tried it out. It was running smoothly most of the way with some minor hiccups when playing video media. But overall it was stable.
I also tried to connect to the internet using a HSPA usb stick. It didn't stay connected too long though. Today, I managed to figure out the problem and connecting online now easy picking. The 3G connection is fast and the netbook manage to handle flash and youtube videos added the lightness of the Ubuntu built as well as the web browser.
I don't yet have any problems right now. But if something arises, I could just return it to be repaired with no cost for a full year.  

Fishkill Causes Chaos. Chicken Prices Spiked

A few days ago, there were reports of massive fishkill(mostly of fresh water milk fish) in areas of Batangas and Pangasinan. This is due to factors like BOD(biological oxygen demand), water pollution as well as sudden weather changes. Tons and tons of fish were killed during this incident.

Millions and millions have been lost by the milk fish industry. It also affected not only the milk fish business but as well as other fresh water and salt water fishes sales as well.  I work at a public market and I saw how horrible the situation is. Not only the milk fish  but also the other fish variety(weather fresh or salt water fish) sold poorly.

Moreover, due to the incident, meat prices spiked up during this incident. Chicken prices increased from Php. 90.00, it's now Php. 92.00 (in wholesale) with anotherwave of price increase on the coming days. This incident couple that with the beginning of class next week will definitely blow the prices up(approximately Php. 98.00 to Php. 100.00 wholesale). Retail price would most likely be at Php. 125 to Php. 135.
