3 in 1 tablet?

Dear friends,

Please be cautioned. You may get to the same state as I am in.

I may be wrong though... I am still exploring... 

I just want to raise a caution.

The demands of online classes made me a dumb one.

I guess I was fooled.

After placing the order thru FB,  no confirmation communication for tracking purposes is provided. Hence, no record of the proper identification of seller is kept even if a NO QUESTION ASKED return transaction if you will not like the item is promised on the selling page.

As advertised, the unit arrived after a week. No receipt, no sender's address/no return address. 

It would have been unfair to the NINJA man if the delivery is refused. 

No manual or any similar document.

Model specified MZ65Plus is not searchable online.

The specifications cited by the seller on the FB post are not actually supported.

In fairness, the bluetooth keyboard and the pen are functioning but nothing else can be done because there seems to be no way to change the language set in the unit.

The FB selling page is still active but the account seem to vary from time to time. You will get no reply to a query about the product that you received.  Your comment about the product are seemingly hidden/deleted by the seller. 

Again, I can be wrong...  Am still trying to explore...

My Prayer after the storm

We send to You none but praise and worship. Life has been tough but some of us were spared under Your care.  To grip onto what we think is beautiful may have caused the destruction of Your Land. The burden that we are now made to carry may be due to our poor stewardship of Your land. Help us get through and let us know better.  Help us learn and live with the essentials as it may be our preferences, rather than Yours, that are causing the destruction of Your Land.  

We always strive to be at Your side, dear Lord. Amen!

Prayer after the strong typhoon

A super typhoon called Rolly (international name=Goni) just got through the Philippine area of responsibility.  It is unfortunate that many precious lives were lost.  Shelters and sources of food are destroyed.  A cry for help is all we can do.

Still, Thank You Lord for sparing many of us. We pray for your assistance for the less fortunate.  May each of those affected follow your lead and may they feel secured and able the soonest. 

Whatever purposes are in these eventualities, may we get them and may You let us continue with the lives that You want us to nurture.

We trust You Lord.  We always seek your intervention.

Forgive us from doing the wrong.

Thank You oyr dear Lord.
