Perfect Gift For The Man

We currently have a 52″ projection TV .. but the man had been eyeing on a pioneer 60 inch LCD for the longest time. I can understand the fascination fully and want to get one for him if the price is right. Having say that.. we all know that plasma tvs have gone down in prices for the last few years and has become really affordable to customers like us. My mum used to say, what’s the point of working so hard, when you cannot enjoy the fruit of your labor.

And boys will always be boys.. and the older they get the toys gets alot more expensive. Checking Krillion for the plasma saved us alot of time because you get to compare prices and get information on the location where you can buy the exact model, unlike other web search, whereby you have to do it one by one, thus wasting alot of time. With product information available immediately on the same site, through Krillion localization engine, you get a more accurate local shopping experience. No more going from shop to shop, just to check out the prices and whether they are in stock. Awesome..!

Vacationing In Vancouver

Vancouver is one of the nicest place in Canada. Of course the main reason is because they have one of the best Chinatown in Canada and the largest Asian population in Canada. If you ever take a vacation in Vancouver, you might mistaken that you are actually in Asia. Lots of people choose to migrate to Vancouver because it is ranked the most liveable city in the world, out of 132 cities being reviewed.

Dining in Vancouver is awesome.. ! you’ll never go hungry in this vibrant city. Having said all these, of course if you are taking a vacation in Vancouver, you’ll have to look for accommodations and Hotel Vancouver is probably the best hotel you can choose from. Not only are they reputable but they are definitely not the motels that you get in Canada. My recent experience with them at the reservations department was one of the best, I’ve had since coming to Canada. Not only were they professional, they were very accommodating too, it is almost like experiencing the asian hospitality .. that one never gets in the Western part of the world.

Having stayed with the Delta group in Toronto, Halifax, Prince Edward Island and Vancouver, I’ll have to say that they certainly fared better than alot of other hotels in Canada. With the many amenities they have to offer their guest/s such as free wireless high speed internet connections, 24hrs room service, club floors to choose from and fitness center, it is definitely my choice for accommodation when in Vancouver. Delta Hotels & Resort is a very reputable chain in Canada, so you can expect excellent service and a very comfortable stay, whether you are on business or on vacation.

Lighting Up Outdoors

Since winter is here, you all know how dark it gets and it sure gets dark really early here in Canada. At about 5pm.. it is totally dark out .. and coming home from work at about 6pm.. isn’t fun at all .. especially if the wind is blowing and cold out. So trying to fumble at the keys.. and getting at the keyholes.. with a kid .. in toll .. you know it isn’t much fun.

For folks like us.. outdoor lighting is very important, cause the town that we are in.. does not light up the streets properly. Yes.. you heard me right. The lights are deem on the street and it really doesn’t do much .. for us residents of the town. The only lighted up place in our town.. is where all the big boys are. During the winter.. you probably think that the street that I am on.. is a ghost town. Some Hollywood directors should probably come use our street for some horror flicks.

Quality Cables

If you all don’t know by now, I am quite technically challenged. If not for my spouse owning a computer/entertainment store, i wouldn’t have any clue about one cables from another. And yes.. they do make a difference.. high quality cables will give you better end results as I soon found later. HDMI cables are those cables that I was talking about and at affordable prices too.

Plasma TV Lifts

Many years ago, one wouldn’t think that one can afford a plasma tv at all. You see it on tv of course… or the movies.. in those stylo-malo James Bond movies.. but now.. plasma tvs are so affordable.. it’s the “thing” to get.. for the man.. and the movie lovers. But of course with the plasma.. comes the plasma tv lifts, I love it. If I have a plasma tv.. I would definitely get one of those, they not only save space, but also very stylish… just like some millionaire’s gadget.

Busy Folks & Health

We spend so much time at the store.. and the weather is cold like 6 months here in Canada. So in order to keep fit, instead of going out in the cold especially during winter, we bring in fitness equipment at the store.. so that we can do our exercises here.. and not become fat and lazy. My mum used to say.. if you can get your butt to the fitness center, you’ll just have to bring it wherever you might be.

Comfy Bedroom

We spend so much time in our bedroom, one cannot help but want to make it the most comfortable and most cosy. Of course when we were younger, my parents didn’t allow us to do alot of things on our bed or bedroom.. for fear of us dirtying them. But as an adult.. we read, we watch tv.. we even snack on our beds/bedroom, and we have girl party too. Modern platform beds are the most stylish bedroom accessory suitable for both you and the man. It’s not girly nor is it too manly, here you find a compromise for the bed that you both can accept completely.
