I love my iPod Touch.

I’ve used a lot of different mp3 players before I shifted into using ipods. I am currently using an iPod Touch which I seriously love. I can use it for playing songs, watching movies, playing games, surfing the internet and keeping my life organized. It’s my lifesaver especially in times when I can’t lug around a laptop when I go out. If I’m in a place where there is no wifi available and I really need to use the internet, I just run Joiku on my e63 then start the wifi from my cellphone. I’m thinking of getting a much larger memory when I get more funds, since right now I only have the 32Gb 3rd gen one. I might even decide to get the iPad, just in case. xD

Online IT degree from WGU.

Since I have been given a lot of free time this year, I was thinking of getting an online degree. I have been hearing a lot about online education institutions for the past few years and I haven’t seen much local schools take that path. I am interested in trying WGU because I have learned that they are recognized by the United States Distance Learning Association (USDLA) and have been awarded with the 21st Century Award for Best Practices in Distance Learning.

I am very much interested in taking an online IT degree that specializes in web development since that is where I see my career headed right now. I enjoy learning about web development so I was thinking of getting a bachelor’s degree in Information Technology. I think it is a good course to take so I can learn the fundamental IT skills and get the right certifications that can help me enter the IT industry. Learning online would be easier for me rather then enrolling in another college right now. It would be cost-effective for me to utilize an online learning environment, especially since I learn more when I am not confined in a classroom.

I’ll be checking more information about their financial aid opportunities. I might get to live with my aunt soon in the US so its worth looking into. It’s also interesting to see that they have a twitter account (http://www.twitter.com/wgu), which I haven’t really seen from other schools. I find it a good sign.

Redecorating and untidying my room.

New year, means new me. I’ve decided that my room was looking a bit gloomy and that it needed some more space. Since I’m trying to find a better rack for my old and disheveled computer, I’ve decided to ditch my small television to clear up some room. I’ll get the tv back (or maybe a better one) once I get a slicker computer table and a separate mount for my tv from an array of tv stands on the department store.

I also need to ditch the double-deck bed on my room and get either a single or junior sized mattress with a wooden base. 2010 is my year and I want it away from clutter.

My spiffy new year gadgets.

I got some new gadgets to play with a the other day and so far I’m loving them. I got myself a 32gb iPod Touch and a Nokia e63. I would have gotten them before the new year started but it was out of stock from the store I got them from. It was cheaper than other stores, not too sure if as cheap as circuit city when they were still around, though. I’m enjoying some new apps and software and I think all my siblings want their own Touches (not too sure how its plural form is spelled) to play with.
