Yup. Especially the fender deluxe. The Fender Stratocaster.
Been friends with people who plays in a band for a while. Most of them owns a stratocaster. I never really had the chance to ask them why they prefer to own a strat than other guitars but I know all of them only had one thing in mind: it is the best out there.
One friend of mine had his guitar for more than 10 years and it still works like new.

Twenty Twelve
Happy new year!
So I have been a very bad blogger. Stuff that I wanted documented are mainly posted on my official blog, belolats.com. but it is not acceptable that I failed to update my other blogs. I have been contesting about it for almost a year and now I have reached with a decision to make this blog where I post everything pop that caught my attention. Everything. From music, TV shows, movies, books, blogs, gadgets, maybe modern outdoor seating, etc.
And for my first entry, here's a poster of a movie I have been dying to see for days -- Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows.

Maybe I should write a review for the books soon, but I have been a fan of Sherlock Holmes for as long as I can remember. I've read almost all the books, I have seen those episodes of the old TV series...and I have seen the first movie before this. The first one didn't really satisfy me as a fan, but I have heard a couple of great reviews about the new film.
Hoping to watch this tomorrow, if not, within the week.

New Year Shopping
Sharis Berries coupon codes is what my aunt needs to get by her New Year shopping dilemma. She's been on a budget and coupon codes will be of great help to hear.
Speaking of New Year shopping, I have yet to plan our New Years day meal. I am not really a cook, so I might just order in. My mother is not a cook either and I would like to give my father a well-deserved break. My family never really had a festive celebration of new year. We only have a simple meal and end our day with a prayer.
2012. Another year for us.

Happy Holidays
I found this video of John Denver singing 12 Days Of Christmas. The crooner is one of my father's favorite singers. And seeing him all jolly and smiley with the whole happy bunch of the The Muppets really is something. So start the holiday cheer and play the video. And maybe sing along too :)
Maligayang Pasko! :)

Holiday preparations
Christmas is my mom's thing. I have been celebrating Christmas with my family all my life and I always look forward to what my mother have come up with for Christmas. She likes fixing the house and making it very 'Christmas-y' by putting up decorations. From the tree, to the wreaths, to the scented candles; my mother would carefully plan how to put everything together as an equestrian would carefully choose equestrian helmets.
This year, everything changes. The turn of events last year had made my mother not to do the usual things she loves to do. Like reading, for example. And making sure the house is squeaky clean all the time. I am the one who's tasked to handle the preparations this year.
I started with going to the mall and buying things for the table set-up. I asked mom on how she wanted everything to be arranged. And the things she wanted to be on the table. The mall was packed with last-minute shoppers but I was able to get everything she wanted. Plus some more that I thought that would make her smile like a Jasmine-scented air freshener, new floor mats, and new place mats for the table.
The next goal is to clean the entire house and change the curtains. Tons of things to do. I am hoping I'll be able to pull it off, like how my mother wanted it.

Twitter's New Interface
I am one of those people you could call a 'heavy twitterer'. I tweet most of the time of any topics that comes to mind; from an undermount sink to the latest movies. Before, I used to post on Twitter using my computer, but that changed when I upgraded my phone and switched to a BlackBerry. Switching to a new phone and subscribing to the unlimited social media access plan with my provider gave me the freedom to post on Twitter anytime I want. I could even include pictures with my tweets! :)
I read about Twitter's user interface redesign last week. Reports said that the redesign was intended to cater organizations and companies on the site. The new Twitter interface was rolled out a couple of days ago.
I like it. It is cleaner than the old interface. It has a Facebook feel but not really. I haven't really explored what one can do to the latest interface, customization wise. I saw a couple of sample profile revamps and how can organizations can utilize the new interface. I'll try to tinker with it more and have another blog post about it.

Post-Screening
Before I begin my research about rv loans, let me share with you the highlights of the documentary screening we had a couple of days ago:
- The documentary screening was done at Capones A-Venue. The fans started arriving as early as 8pm even though the invite says the screening will be at 10pm
- Had a little confusion with the band's manager about the drinks and entrance stubs.
- The Charmes opened the night.
- We had to wait for the band to arrive before we could play the film. It is pointless to screen a film without the band not being there.
- Armi was the first one to arrive. That was our signal to play the film.
- The host read a letter from the film's director before the start of the show.
- Everyone gave a toast for the director.
- Film started. Film ended.
- The band played an awesome set to close the night.

Earings
Look at these lovely stainless steel earrings!
I was looking for the perfect gift for my best friend's birthday this weekend and I found these gorgeous pieces. My best friends are into shiny, sparkly things and I definitely think she will love these. The amazing thing about these great finds is that I can pay for them via PayPal. Cool beans :)
