Blood Pressure Monitor |
As I mentioned in my previous entry, my family has been sick for days now. I was so worried especially my mother since she's been having some blood pressure problem. My grandfather died in a stroke when I was just 3 month old. Anyway, I am thinking of getting her a blood pressure monitor which is easy to use, high accuracy, and fast setup. For those of you who are being treated for high blood pressure, your doctor may want you to monitor your blood pressure daily and blood pressure monitor is right for you. It's better safe than sorry.

They're Sick Too |
I talked to my sister this afternoon and they're all sick. Yup, my sister has been sick since Tuesday. Then my Mom followed. They both have fever and dry cough. I also told my sister to keep an eye on Nanay especially her blood pressure. I'm so worried right now. My sister sounds really weak when I talk to her on the phone. I hope everything will be fine for both of them. Labels: Uncategorized |

Pens |
I'm obsessed with pens. I love pens! I've been collecting pens for years now. Anyway, I'm still looking for more pens and I found a great site where they offers fine pens, refills, and accessories from a variety of manufacturers at low prices. I'm looking forward to buy some pens from them pretty soon. Labels: Blogging |

My Day |
It's been a long day for me. Dear son went to sleep late last night so I didn't go to bed until 11:30 in the evening. I was so tired today. I woke up at 5:30 with a slight headache. It always happened when I didn't get enough sleep. I tried to take a nap this afternoon but the kids won't cooperate lol. Oh well, I guess that's the way it goes. Hopefully dear son will go to bed early tonight so I can get some good night sleep! Labels: Uncategorized |

Blogging Jedi Mind Tricks With Dragon |
Have you guys ever heard of Dragon NaturallySpeaking? Dragon NaturallySpeaking is the world’s most popular and best selling speech recognition software for personal, business or enterprise use. A software where you can Type at 150 WPM for $99! It is 99% accurate, up to 150 words per minute, three times faster than typing, and compatible with virtually all Windows-based applications. Still not convinced? Then, you should watch the video below.
Press Release:
I just watched a great video by Owen the writer for www.u-g-h.com . Owen is a great blogger from the Isle of Man who keeps a couple great tech blogs and even builds plug-ins and widgets in his spare time from what I understand. I've known Owen for over two years now through the blogosphere.
I just finished watching the video Owen created after he agreed to try out Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 Preferred. What is really amazing here is that he created this video just a few minutes after he installed the Dragon Naturally Speaking on his machine.
Many people remember the days when it would take hours if not days or a week or more to train a voice recognition software program. Owen was able to install the software and use it to very good effect as you can see from the video above which has been embedded from YouTube.
Now he's just getting used to the software and one of the things that you will notice is that his speaking style is a little slow and starts and stops a bit in between each sentence. He doesn't have 2 talk that slow nor does he have to start and stop after each sentence. He could just keep talking in one continuous fluid verbal conversation with his computer. Dragon NaturallySpeaking even has the ability to automatically insert punctuation as you talk. The auto punctuation feature is not perfect, but it is a lot better than you might expect.
Owen is actually using the manual punctuation function where he specifically says each item of punctuation that he wants inserted into his sentences and paragraphs.
Regardless, as you watch Owen's video and many other videos out there on Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10, you can see just how fast it is and just how useful it can be for anyone that wants to be able to type on their computer and create text by using their voice and speaking to their computer. It's a very liberating experience and as I write this right now I am using Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10, and I am pacing around my kitchen about 20 feet from my computer using a wireless headset microphone. I walk by my computer every few steps and glance at the screen to see if my computer is capturing the text correctly, but I probably don't even need to do that because it is so very accurate.
That said, it is very important for new users to do a fairly good grammar check on the documents that they create with Dragon NaturallySpeaking. When you first get started, Dragon NaturallySpeaking does learn what you're trying to say and it improves over time. So you will need to edit a little bit more when you first start, and it's a good habit to pick up as you go forward because your speaking style is going to be much different than your normal writing style would be if you were typing with your fingers. It's a different area of the brain and you will get a different result in your written documents when you use Dragon NaturallySpeaking.
This article is approximately 540 words long(pre-edit), and I wrote it in about three minutes. It also took me about two minutes to edit because I was going back and forth into another room to help my kids with their homework. Still, that's approximately 108 words per minute including editing time!
My name is Brett Bumeter and I've been writing about Dragon NaturallySpeaking for almost 2 years now. I think this is a great product, however I also recognize that people really have to see this product in action in order to envision how I can truly help them in their work and in their lives. So I am working to bring many more videos of Dragon NaturallySpeaking to you since you can help figure out if this great tool that costs about $99 could help you type in 150 words a minute. I think it can, and I definitely think it's worth it. You decide and you let me know what you think. :-)
Best regards, Brett www.softduit.comLabels: Blogging |

I'm Still Here |
Some of you probably wondering where have I been? Well, I didn't go anywhere. I was sick, and that's the main reason why I didn't update this blog. It started last Thursday night. On Friday, I had a fever and my throat was hurting. I took Vitamin C, garlic capsule and chewing ginger as well. I can deal with the ginger but the garlic capsule was terrible. The smell, the taste was awful...whew! Then on Saturday, I was really weak so dear hubby stayed home to watch the kids. I feel a lot better yesterday. My temperature is back to normal, but my throat is still hurting but I can deal with the pain. Alright, that's all for now. Have a great Monday everyone! Labels: Uncategorized |

He's Better Now |
Our dear son was sick last Thursday, October 16th. He has a high fever (105 F). Dear hubby brought him to the hospital on Friday and the doctor said it was a "viral infection". Then last Sunday, I noticed he's been crying a lot and when I check his body, I saw "red marks" or rashes all over his body. I was so worried and asked my mother about it. She then told me it was a "measles" or "dap". He got diarrhea later that day. Poor little baby. His fever was gone and so his diarrhea. He's a lot better now. His appetite seems back to normal which is a good sign.
Today, my whole body is aching. My sinusitis is acting up, my nose itch and I keep sneezing over and over again. I've been taking Vitamin C and garlic but to no avail. Oh well, I guess that's the way it goes. Labels: Uncategorized |

As I lay awake past midnight, I could hear the wind rustling the leaves outside. I suddenly heard a scraping sound at my window.....

Few months ago, there were 5-6 policemen chasing fugitive and they ended up in our subdivision. It was very scary since we live next to the woods. Then yesterday, we saw another policemen chasing "bad guy" and ended up again in our area. Now, I have the habit of checking all the doors and windows every day and night. Pretty scary, eh?Labels: Randomness, Uncategorized |

Cartier Watches |
It's been a while since I wanted to buy a new watch for me. My watch is really old. Dear hubby bought it for me when he visited me in the Philippines seven years ago. The strap is messed up and I couldn't find a replacement for it. I really wanted to get it fix since it has a sentimental value for me but dear hubby said I should just get a new one which is probably a lot cheaper than in the repair shop. I've been eyeing for Cartier watches for a while now. I found some affordable cartier chronograph watches from TheWatchery.com. TheWatchery offers genuine brand name watches at substantial discounts to the manufacturer's suggested retail price. They have incredibly low prices for both men and women watches, just like this Cartier ballon bleu ladies watch which has two tone silver dial. Just so you know, when you purchase this watch, you have the option to choose a FREE watch (up to $475 MSRP) or choose from a large selection of watches at a special savings of 80% off MSRP. Pretty cool deal, don't you think?Labels: Blogging |

Here It Is! |
Few days ago, I posted an entry about my earnings from GA. I thanked God for giving me this kind of money since we really need it especially they cut dear hubby's overtime :( Yeah, it's sad. Two weeks ago, they laid off first batch of workers, and another batch will go tomorrow, October 2nd. I just pray and hope for the best. Anyway, I finally received my check last Monday and took a pictures as a proof. I'm also waiting another check for the month of September! Hooray :)
***Update***
Thank God, he answered my prayers. Dear hubby is still working in TECT as a Quality Inspector.

WW: At The Park |
These photos were taken during my 32nd birthday last September 13. Dear hubby was off so we decided to go to the park so the kids can play. It was a beautiful day and the kids had a blast. I let dear son crawl in the grass for a while and he absolutely loved it.
This photo was taken last Saturday when we went to the park. I asked the owner if I can take some photos of the dog. What a huge dog!Labels: Uncategorized, Wordless Wednesday |
