I just arrived home from my very first Macworld and man I am tired. There’s just so much going on that it’s hard for me to process everything at once.

I arrived at the South Hall of Moscone Convention center at around noon and head straight to the Apple booth to have a peek of what may be the most lustworthy device of our time, the iPhone. It’s clearly the star of the show as it rotates in it’s 6-foot pedestal surrounded by glass as if it’s an important piece of museum art. I stared at it for quite a long time, only looking away to wipe the drool off my shoe. I watched the live demo on stage as an Apple employee recreates Steve Jobs’ keynote and everyone on the floor was so enthusiastic, some were even talking on their mobile, describing how awesome it is to the person on the other line.

I hate the fact that it’s locked and exclusive to Cingular when it launches in June. Unless someone figures out how to unlock it, which is bound to happen, I wouldn’t be able to get my hands on it until it launches in Asia on 2008. That really sucks.

Can you hear that? It’s the sound of hordes of Mac geeks rushing to San Francisco to attend Macworld Conference and Expo 2007. It’s the time of the year where His Steveness will take over the stage and announce several new products that will max out our credit cards. A year ago, I would never even dream of attending as I’m halfway around the world. I even ask my sister to just buy me a souvenir shirt but now she doesn’t have to.

By now everyone is expecting the iPhone so it will be a huge huge disappointment if Apple does not, at the very least, mention one. I’m not sure if I want one though since I’m used to carrying two things in my pocket: an iPod and a phone and I’m not really into the idea of having just one device for both functions. I might consider buying a widescreen video iPod if ever they release one just because I gotta have the latest and greatest.

My plan is to just stay at home and wait for the Keynote webcast on Tuesday, January 8 as I want to see Steve Jobs’ introduction before seeing the products on the floor. I’ll be attending the expo on Wednesday to Friday so if any of you guys out there who’s also attending and want some company just leave a comment or use the contact form.

Have I ever mentioned how awesome and brilliant Steve Jobs is? I don’t know, he can sell a used toothbrush for a hundred bucks if he takes the center stage and make a Keynote presentation about it.

I woke up at 5am today just to watch the Macworld 2006 Keynote webcast. I won’t mention the products here because you’ve probably heard about them already. I’m envious of my boss because he already pre-ordered the MacBook Pro and the new intel iMac. I wonder when will I replace my trusty Ginny with a MacBook Pro.

My iPod is making me spend loads of cash I can’t imagine spending before. Yesterday I went from mall to mall looking for solutions to remove the scratches on my 2-week old gadget and I found iCleaner which costs an unbelievably expensive 1500 pesos! It’s a small damn bottle for goodness’ sakes. Then I bought a clear protector so that I don’t have to use my bulky iSkin and it costs another P950!

Gateway cinemas rock, by the way. The screen is humongous and the sound system is awesome. I don’t like the seats though, it’s a bit hard and uncomfortable at first. I can’t wait when cinema 10 opens–La-Z-Boy seats baby!

If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably found yourself going to the nearest Apple Center, pressing your face against the glass window, drooling over the new Macs and their very cool Aqua interface and asking yourself why, why do they have to be so damn expensive?

Well, until the time comes when I start earning enough money to buy a Mac, I decided to turn my Windows XP system into one. A little googling brought me to these sites.
