It has been getting colder when I left the US. All the sweats, it is so hot in here. Well, it has always been around this range, it is just a bit warmer this time. We got quick heavy downpour with tumultuous thunders. Just still thankful that we were not hit by the storm that plague northern Europe this week. Hope they’ll recover soon.

Nokia’s answer to the iPhone
The world is getting smaller, the competition is getting stiffer. Nokia’s answer to the iPhone: N810. Nokia’s latest handheld Internet access device browses the Web, runs Flash and has GPS. It’ll sell for $479 when it comes out in November. The downside: it has no cellular modem built in, so you have to use Wi-Fi or reach the Net via a Bluetooth link to your phone, that is, the N810 is a pure Internet-only device, relying only on Wi-Fi and cellular Bluetooth to get online.

Let’s eat Durian!
We went to Davao, my sisters, cousin and my uncle for some business, and we just stopped in the sidewalk to eat my missed fruit – Durian. Let’s eat!
Mega music
One thing I like about India is the music. Though I don’t understand the lyrics of its local songs, the sound is universal, and I like their style, their rhythm. Hubby used to play the TV for their music every morning to awake him when he is alone, not when I was there, I love sleep, silence please.

Google PR
I see reent updates with Google PageRank today, or maybe yesterday? The result is positive as the PR is increasing, and what other better things than your website has now higher PR? I have read alot about page ranks of bloggers decreasing on the last update, going back point or two and so reduced. I see mine much better today, I wish it will stay better here and there.
Meet Paul the driver
Namashtè. Now meet Paul the driver. He was a good driver, and patient too, for a tourist like me. He was ‘educating’ me about what he knew of India and the landmarks that were seeing. I appreciated it. there is nothing better than learning it from the local people. Of course we communicated by English language.

There are no regrets
But if there is one thing I should have done, it would be, ‘I wish I had not left my cat alone’. She’s always safe when we’re together. I know, she’s just a cat, but she’s more than that to me. She’s so dear to my heart. Sigh, so many things have changed these days.
