I bought my self a brand new SMART BRO plugit, its a prepaid 3G internet device that can connect through wherever you are. I bought at SM Marilao for only P 950.00, before the price of this device is quite higher that's why this is the only time I have manage to buy my self one.
When I bought this device the cashier told me that it already comes with P 300 load, but when I use it I am only consuming about P 200 when my browser says that I don't have enough load, so I immediately call the customer service and they told me that the device comes only with only P 200 load cause their promo is already over.

Tio Light Switch System

As I was browsing on the net for new gadgets, I have found this cool and unique gadget that will teach childrens on how to conserved energy. This gadget was called Tio Ghost, it is a light switch system designed by Tim Holley. This light switch systm is wall-mounted and would help children practice enerygy conservation, by switching the lights whenever it is not in use. This is very helpful for making childrens responsible and aware about the conservation of electricity.

The Tio Ghost changes its color, when its color is green it means that the Tio Ghost is happy because household lights have only been on for a short period of time, but when as the light is on for longer hours it will become angrier and becomes red.
