Band sites: updated

I finally updated the band sites. Pictures have upload and profile notes have been changed. Sometimes I don't know where I get the time because of my hectic schedule. I know my personal sites needs more attention--big time! And I have a ton of things to do that I don't know where to start. I plan to do it in 2 weeks time and I might spend one whole day or even more. Wish me luck!

Word FaQ

What is the difference between dissemble and disassemble?

Disassemble means 'to take something apart'. You can see that the word can be split into a prefix dis- and the root assemble. An example usage is: She disassembled the Lego creation.

Dissemble means 'to alter or change the appearance of in order to deceive or conceal; to misrepresent or pretend'.

This word's etymology is trickier: it may be a form of dissimule, which means 'to alter the semblance of in order to deceive or conceal'. So, the breakdown of dissemble is dis- and the root semble, or 'appear, seem'. An example usage of this word is: We heard the dissembled tone of fear in the stewardess’ voice as she told us to stay calm.

Pool projects

BIL's been advertising their swimming pool projects online. My sister and the BIL had a lot of swimming pool project for the last 2 years and we are proud of their team-up. I've visited a handful of sites and I admit, it's amazing to see my sister's creation, hard worked labor come to life. I hope they'll a lot of projects this year and the coming years. They are really a great team. Maybe can make like a above ground pools. That will definitely boost their offers.

Did You Know?

The wire used in baling hay -- haywire -- is often used in makeshift repairs. This hurried and temporary use of haywire gave rise to the adjective "haywire." The "crazy" sense of "haywire" may have been suggested by the difficulty of handling the springy wire, its tendency to get tangled around legs, or the disorderly appearance of the temporary repair jobs for which it was used.

Gadget itchy-ness

My laptop's decease had worsen. And having it repaired will cost a lot. The hubby's been trying to a friend to repair it and it's been taking awhile now. I'm beginning to think that maybe I should buy a new one instead? Is it time to replace my 3-yr old lappy? I know it's only been 3-yrs and the lcd led light is not working properly anymore. I know, I feel bad too because this lappy is my life and I cannot afford to loose it. Maybe in a few months, I'll be close to "buying a new one". I visited the mall yesterday and saw good laptop deals there! Waah! It's a sign. But I'm considering getting an itouch as well. Gadget itchy-ness is irritating, don't you think.
