#230 Saving money from a sale

I managed to saved 3,000 pesos today from a sale. I am looking for a bar stool + table for almost a month now, since I converted my old small dinner table into a computer home office. Originally, the bar stool each costs 2,995.00, and the bar table at 3,995.00.. but at the sale the stool costs only 1,995.00 (I got two) and the table for only 2, 995.00 pesos for a total savings of 3thousand pesos baby! I am so happy that I managed to get something I want for less, but also solved my dilemma of finding a bar table style (yung mataas na table). Ayos! I will post pics of my furniture once it has arrived. =)

#229 Corned beef breakfast meal at Jollibee

Although I find their chicken more desirable than McDonalds, most of their menu is bland. Quite surprising most of the Pinoy and little kids loves Jollibee. I only love Jollibee because they are open 24 hours near my building haha, so if I crave even in the wee hours of the morning, I could always just went down. But if there's one thing more I love about Jollibee is their corned beef meal. I could eat until three rice with this one. Along with egg and fried rice, panalo! Walang panama ang Purefoods corned beef, or any corned beefs that I have tasted for that matter. Craving!

#228 Watching live bands at the bar

I love watching at the bars. You can sit down and have a beer, the crowd is few, and the setting is intimate and the artist is just a few feet away from you, so near that sometimes even the artist's saliva is showering on you.

I am a suki at 70's bistro which is located in Anonas, in Quezon City. It is one of the remaining home of Pinoy music or shall we say rock venues that is still open today. From the era of the Eheads, to the Jerks, Tropical Depression,  to True Faith, Sandwich, Sugarfree and new bands of late. It saw the coming and going of bands, forming and disbandment.

FIESTO sa BISTRO

Together with a friend, I unexpectedly attended this mini-concert, more like spur of the moment. Rico Blanco is levelling-up. A true mark of an artist. Now he is known as Fiesto Bandido. The performance was a nonstop assault on the senses. Enjoyed it!

#227 FLAC files

What the fuck is flac? I encountered this terminology when reading and checking out audiophile forums and discussions. It means free lossless audio codec (flac). It turns out that these files are high quality song tracks, like listening straight from an audio CD. We are so used with MP3's, which are compressed music tracks, in order to get a file that is smaller yet almost similar to the original. In the process of compression some details of the song are gone.

I am grateful that there are a lot of flac files from my suking piratebay. Downloading away!

Katerno ng high quality headphones! I didn't realize there are so many details in music that exists before, like the tambourines, guitars, additional effects on the side, and breathing of the artist, and etc.

Cause life is too short to spend on crappy music. Music is life...

#226 Bang for the buck

I bought this piece of art lately.

Yup, and true enough the online reviews and feedback about this product were correct. I was choosing between the Grado and Koss, so I auditioned them both. I found out the Grado SR80's to be too bright for my ears, and that I found out that my ears are craving for them bass =) Reading from online reviews and feedbacks are so important and proved to be too valuable that you can hear from personal experience, advices and professional tips as well.

For around 2200 pesos, this is an awesome buy. I was willing to shell out 6000 bucks for the Grado's so this definitely is a good buy. Feels like listening from a car audio system that has been setup. Eargasm! And noticed there additional details that I haven't heard from the song before.

Now am downloading high quality sound files called flacs. My entry to the audiophile lifestyle, so as they say. More quality headphones soon!! Cause life is too short to spend on crappy headsets.

Music is life...
