New gizmo Zen Vision for Storing Digital Life

As much as I wanted to keep memories of my past and present, some latest media players just can’t hold all of it enough. I’m always stuck with limited options. With either no more memory space or unclear image copies. Photos and videos of my precious moments are what I’d like to have with me wherever I may go, and so with all of my favorite music to keep me away from boredom. I need a gizmo to hold all of them together, and i need it to be in a single portable player.

Here is a new gadget from Creative that stores music, photos and videos in a light and pocket-sized player, only 239g (with battery). Holds digital canvas of everything you wanted to keep. With sleek and spacious 30GB model, it can hold every moment for sharing. Features include storage of thousands of photos, 120 hours of movie screening, or even 15,000 songs to play. Supports video formats like MPEG1, MPEG2 and MPEG4-SP, and JPEG for photos. Provides 8 preset EQ settings and 97dB signal-to-noise ratio for music. Package contents include slideshows, integrated plug and view feature, full access to online music stores, lightweight magnesium casing, removable and rechargeable battery, and free channels on Zencast.

Though no matter how cool this gadget could be, we still need to know its pros and cons to keep us from getting one. http://www.widgetsandgadgets.com/creativezen-vision.html sees Creative Zen Vision as convenient on controls, connectors and jacks for audio-video, power adapter, headphones, compact flash, USB 2.0, and the optional docking cradle, comprehensive media formats and built-in equalizer for much better sound customization. There could be some problems with huge video files though. It causes player to freeze. And some delays for recording due to lacking of sensitivity department in the built-in microphone.

But for its overall package, it is an impressive second entry from Creative into the portable media player market. Making digital life at it best.

wish me luck!

Do you remember how it feels to be delivering your first speech or like being on the stage talking infront of a crowd? I don't know any about it exactly, 'coz i've never been to places like that. Its seems pretty scary to me.
Anyways, I have an appointment today with a boss from Customs, and this is gonna be my very first presentation, ever. I am really trembling right now, and i don't know exactly what to feel. I can already feel my heart pumpin' to the highest level. And it really feels like there are hundreds of butterflies flying in my stomach, like wanting to get out and be set free. Wish me luck. I hope everything will be nice and easy.

i'm on marketing

I had never been a member of any sales company or in any other marketing team before. But even before I came to Stickymedia Solutions, Inc. I had always wanted to be involved in marketing or even worse in the HR department. lol. Unexpectedly, when we had our general meeting last January, our boss was like explaining and talking about making profit, or profit sharing, or something like commissions... right then and there, I told myself, I should be one of them. I need to be. I crave for learning marketing and here it is, right in front of my face. This is gonna be my chance of a new world, new door, and new opportunities. Ahem.. and? more money I guess.. lol.. I really find marketing interesting and challenging.
And now, here I am. In a new and different world. The world of "Marketing". It does sound pretty scary though, but what the heck. All I need to have are guts. To talk to people and of course ... M A K E a S A L E!!! I need to stick that to my M I N D. lol.
Anyways, we do websites and other IT services and stuff. If you find THAT interesting... Contact me. And please do.. email me at katrina@stickymediaph.com.
Wow, how good it feels to feel like you're so near to what you wanted to have, or be or learn. Evrything is up to me now. And double Whew.. i feel like a rolling stone right now... nearing the edge.. of a cliff.. sounds fun huh!! lol

The Lettermen "Live in CDO"

Last January 16, 2007, The Lettermen came to Cagayan de Oro City. I actually went there to witness the concert. Thanks to the cdokay people who gave me an opportunity to be there. Well, as part of cdokay, i was tasked to write an article about the concert and my experience of being there. The Lettermen were very famous back in the late 1960's, i don't know how you could imagine me going there with all those oldies. But guess what, i was not the only 23-year old audience witnessing the show, there were more than many from what i have expected. Though their music does really aged like forever but it was unexpectedly beautiful. All the love songs touched my heart and flew me to the air of madness. If you were there, i'm sure you'd be feeling the same way. There was one quote from Tony Butala, the only original member of the group, he said that "Love songs never really get out of style". And i definitely agree. That is why their music never ceases to stay behind. Their music transcends all language barriers and displays variety of musical styles that everyone can enjoy. Their ballads know no boundaries. It touches hearts of the young and old. I guess we don't really need to judge music by its time, but by it's melody, lyrics and notes. Frankly, i did enjoy the show. It was tremendously great for a first time experience.
