Electronic Pickpockets

When I was in the Philippines for a two-month vacation my Filipina travel agent sent me a forwarded mail about how I can be a victim of electronic pickpockets there. I thought, what is this? Filipino criminals are getting high tech too for they now have an idea how to do their hideous crimes. They do this by scanning the data on your credit/debit cards or passports that is in your wallet without touching it. Scary isn't it?

Just a minute ago, I found a website that sells wallets or jackets for men and women that are rfid shielded. I wonder if this truly works if ever I decide to buy one for me before going to the Philippines again next time to make sure I am not going to be victimized of this so-called electronic pickpocketers. RFID shielded wallets can be bought at www.idstronghold.com in case you want to buy one too. Their Genuine Leather Bi-Fold wallets feature the best RFID shielding in the industry. Every single pocket is entirely shielded - even the billfold area and their wallets will hold up to 12 cards.

That Was Easy And Fast

I didn't do much this morning. Blogging world is so quiet for two days now. If that happens, I get bored and I don't find using the computer is useful if there are no tasks to do. I just feel that it is a complete waste of time continue sitting on the computer doing nonsense things so I logged out at 10:30 this morning, fixed our brunch and spent that intimate moment with my better half. Two hours later, we went to a Kid's Store and Furniture looking for something then headed to the Asian Market. We bought a couple of Asian stuff that I love and went home.

So that was pretty much what we did today. An hour later after we arrived home from the market, I decided to turn on my computer and see if there's good news on the internet. Tried opening two paid blogging sites and when I open the most favorite site, I was quite happy for I had a few tasks from them which I was happily did and got it all done in less than 30 minutes. That was easy and fast for there wasn't much in my dashboard. Thus, having those made my night...better than not doing anything useful ehhhh...

Trailer Hitches

There were times from the past when my husband visited a couple of hitch stores in the local area trying to find that very hitch that would fit for the trailer he bought. We have been to 3 or four stores looking at trailer hitches just so he can hook up the trailer to our car. It was kind of hard to look for one because what they had didn't fit. I didn't know that same hitch he needed is available online. Why I didn't know this website before? I could have told my husband to try looking at it online so he can order one, he could have avoided wasting his time driving around just to get that very hitch he needed. Anyway, he got it all done and he successfully installed a trailer hitch on our white car so whenever he buys something big that won't fit inside the car, he will just use our trailer to transport the stuff.

Internet Disconnection


My brother said that our internet connection in the Philippines has been disconnected after two attempts of trying as we no longer wish to continue our subscription from PLDT. There is no use to continue the service as their laptop computer is no longer functional. When I was still there, I really tried my best to discontinue the service before I could go back to America since it's on my name so I should be the one to go see the office staff and have it done.


Unfortunately, I wasn't able to do it until it was time for me to fly back here. I left a letter of disconnection to my mother and when she went to the office she was being refused just because I didn't leave any identification along with the letter. What a bummer, they didn't tell me that when I went their personally. So what I did, I used a document imaging instead of sending my real I.D or passport in the mail for I am afraid it will get lost in the mail. I am yet to call my mother to really confirm if it's truly disconnected now. Otherwise, they will be paying 350 pesos more on their bills every month if the internet is still there.
