Yes, you are reading correctly: Apple finally allows us, mexicans, to buy their products online, from the Apple Online Store. Prices are in Mexican pesos (before taxes, add 15% of IVA) and the store language is Spanish. No more shopping of predesigned models at the USA in your travels, or at overpriced department stores like Palacio de Hierro, Office Max and the like. Now, you can design your own personalized mac to meet your requirements and get it shipped for FREE. You can also get your iPod engraved for free. These are fantastic news for us Mac fans… Enjoy your shopping!
The store’s URL is the following: http://www.apple.com/mx/

I shall not want;
He makes me use Metalized programs.
He leads me beside Aqua waters;
He restores my (hard) drive.
He leads me in the paths of MacOSes
For His name’s sake.
Even though I walk through the valley
of the shadow of Redmond,
I fear no virus;
For the Steve is with me;
Your keynote and Your "one more thing," they comfort me.
To increase metabolism, always eat breakfast in the morning. Break-fast…break the fast. Don’t skip breakfast. If you wait until mid morning or afternoon to eat, your metabolism will run slower. Think of breakfast as adding logs to the fireplace. Your metabolism is the fireplace and logs are the breakfast.- Increase metabolism by eating smaller meals through the day. Eat 4 to 6 six small meals, 2 to 3 hours apart.- Don’t depend on herbal products to increase metabolism or energy level. Any metabolic increase will be minimum and herbs are not cheap. Instead, include more energy foods such as whole grains, beans, vegetables and fruits.- Park further away and walk. Use the stairs instead of the elevator when possible. Walk to the post office instead of getting into the car. Take your dog on a daily walk. Do more activities around the house to burn energy instead of wasting money on pills and potions that don’t work.- Incorporate a walking routine to increase metabolism at least three to four times a week. Walk 30 to 40 minutes each time. This is the best way to increase your metabolism.- Don’t starve yourself when trying to lose weight. This will slow down your metabolism in a hurry. Avoid 5 to 6 hour gaps between meals without eating.- Be committed to eating smaller meals at regular intervals. Prepare food in advance and bring it with you. Never eat sporadically and plan each meal. The common mistake is to skip meals and eat too little during the day. This makes you vulnerable for eating junk food later in the day. Eating to lose weight takes planning.Taken from: 7 Tips to Increase Metabolism

I am absolutely pleased to announce you all that today was our (Ivan and I) 5th anniversary!. It has been an amazing party day today, but the clue of having a wonderful relationship is: never let the “special” things or events to happen just one day in a year, let them happen every single day of your life, enjoy every second of it as if it was the last one, never take things for granted, and never assume someone will be there forever, take care of your relationship every single moment, with every single act.
Thank you for your congratulations, we hope you guys only the very best.
Cheers!
Ivan and Erika
I have to accept I am a huge Mac fan, but most probably you’ve already realized that by now, hahahaha. I found this tribute to Macs on Youtube, I think it’s lovely and wanted to share it with you. I hope you enjoy!
Music: “You’re Beautiful” by James Blunt
My lyrics to it:
My Mac is brilliant. 12? Powerbook
But I went to the Apple Store just to take a look
I mean I love my little G4
It’s done so good I say
But I saw the big Mac Pro and the 24 inch display
You’re beautiful, you’re beautiful, you’re beautiful it’s true
The interface is such pretty taste
And I don’t know what to do
Cause I’ll never be with you
Yes it caught my eye
and I can’t help but sigh
I could see that this processor would just fly
And I don’t think that I’ll see it again
But we shared a moment that would last til the end
You’re beautiful, you’re beautiful, you’re beautiful it’s true
The interface is such pretty taste
And I don’t know what to do
Cause I’ll never be with you
The google empire is making an attempt to conquer the blogging world too… Google Blog Search is a Google app to find blogs on your favorite topics. It is still a beta, but I find it already does a pretty good job. Maybe you wanna give it a try…
