must-have laptop sleeves

These are so kawaii!!! That's Japanese for cute by the way. You can blame all the anime series I've been watching this weekend. Hahaha..

I found these on TPC's website (that's TipidPC) when I was looking for something for my lappy.. These are custom-made laptop sleeves by roooot. They have pre-made designs or you can actually choose the colors that you want for the sleeves. The sleeves themselves are lined with high quality quilted material to avoid scratches and they're padded with durable material for added protection. They all cost a smacking Php1,800!!! They may be a bit expensive but I'm pretty sure that they're worth it.

Below are their pre-made designs:

mic problems?

I just bought myself a pair of cheap headset/mic from CD-R King Gateway yesterday. They cost around PhP100. At the store, the sales girl tested it first to make sure it wasn't a dud. She plugged it into this mini-MP3 player and it was indeed working fine. They told me that they're unable to test the mic since their computer's down. So, I said, "Ok.. This has warranty naman.." 1 week replacement daw. So I got home and plugged everything into my laptop.

To test the mic, here's what you do:

1. Open up Volume Controls. (You can reach this by double-clicking on the little speaker icon on the lower-right corner of your screen. Or you can go to Start>Control Panel>Sounds and Audio Devices>Volume Tab>Click on Advanced button)

2. Make sure that the Mic In section is not set to mute!

3. Then next, open up Sound Recorder (from Start>All Programs>Accessories>Entertainment>Sound Recorder)

4. Click on the Record button and start saying something.. hehehe.. (I played a song using my mobile by placing it near the mouthpiece)

5. Click on Stop and then Play. If you're able to hear what you said/played, the the mic is working! You're good to go!
