But today is the era of new technology, the digital age there are new generations of millionaires. These new generations of elite rich are not contented with the usual brand of accessories and trimmings that spoke MONEY in caps lock, bold, italic, underlined statement. This new moneyed class wants state-of-the-art enormous television, the most powerful computers, finest audio equipment, opulent cell phones that spoke exclusivity and flashy techie gadgets. Aside from that, they want aesthetics and customization to match.
Let start the list with the “The Golden Apple”, it is a customized MacBook plated in 24-karat gold and with diamond accents. A company name ComputerChoppers offers its wealthy clients personalized laptops with customized plating in anything from 24-karat gold to elegant black nickel which transforms the ordinary looking computer to a sleek symbol of wealth. The estimated cost for the plating, painting and etching work will set you back between $1200 and $1500 that is only for the customization you still have to pay for the MacBook itself.
If you have a very expensive computer, then it should be match with a pricey mouse. The Swiss Pat Says Now manufactures the world’s most expensive mouse. Their Diamond Flower mouse model cost about $25,000. This clicking and pointing input device is encased in 18-karat white gold encrusted with 59 brilliant-cut diamonds in the shape, of course, of a flower.
You’ve got the Mighty-Pricey Mouse then you must also have these though keyboard. The Stealth Computer’s 2000-IS-DT-PS/2 keyboard model is a 114-key Windows keyboard that cost $2,200 USD. This keyboard model is said to endure anything nature can throw at it, except the bubbling lava. This very expensive keyboard has a stainless-steel enclosure that is corrosion (rust) resistant and can survive 100 percent humidity, temperatures ranging from -40 to 194 degrees Fahrenheit, windblown dust, spray from a hose, and ice forming on its casing. They only thing that mystified me is that, if your keyboard can survive through this weather conditions, can you?
You have your expensive laptop, expensive keyboard and expensive mouse now let’s add the expensive LCD projector for your expensive PowerPoint presentation. The Sony SRXS110 has a display resolution of 4096×2160 pixels, commonly called as 4K resolution. It is actually designed for digital cinema projection, but still overqualified because its top project rate is 60 frames per second (compared to 24 fps), and few films are actually shot and distributed in 4K. But you could easily “up-rezzes” to lower-quality images, so you can watch your DVD collection on it. The asking how much? Well, it’s just between $70,000 and $100,000.
You want to listen to you top-picks music on your gold and diamond encrusted laptop but you don’t want others to be disturbed your choice of music.

iPod is a craze that even those filthy-rich new breed of VIPs were caught. To cater the need of these rich kids for superior performance there is the Triode-tube iPod speakers which have internal vacuum tubes. Triode-tube iPod speakers cost for “only” $4,000.00 US dollars. And there is the Kaleidescape, $27,000.00 movie and music server for streaming content to the state-of-the-art centralized media players which could play movie and music throughout the regal mansions.
Your techie ensemble is not complete if you don’t have this thing, the Cellphone. And we’re not talking here of a plastic-covered mobile phone with a lifespan of less a year commonly used by yuppies. I’m talking about the luxurious cell phones crafted by Vertu, a phone manufacturer and retailer that offer variety and exclusivity to its clients. One of its products is a diamond encrusted Nokia phone for $73,000. You could also have their original Bejeweled Signature model which is crafted in rose gold 
and pink diamonds. Recently, Vertu launched its new Signature collections which have a solid-gold case, a “sea of sapphire” face, a gold SIM drawer and 4.75 carats of ruby bearings. Salivate over this Guinness World Records holder GoldVish phone it is the most expensive in the world–1 million euros, or about $1.3 million US dollars. The odd-shaped device is made out of 18-carat white gold and features 1,800 diamonds totaling 120 carats. Or you may want this “cheaper” Parisian jeweler House of Bucheron linked up with Nokia subsidiary Vertu on this limited-edition series of eight cobra phones, which include a two-carat pear-cut diamond, a one-carat round diamond, two emerald eyes and 439 rubies totaling 21 carats. This only cost $310,000 US dollar.
If you could afford to buy all these expensive gadgets you could actually fed the thousands of hungry people in a year or could send hundreds of kids to school all throughout to college. Think about it, you’ll be leaving a legacy.

October 14, 2008
Let’s talk about big dreams, like dreaming of meeting your ultimate idols and performing with them. Moving your dream a notch higher and dream of being interviewed by the world’s famous talkshow host and being heard all over the world. And what if these dreams are slowly unfolding before your very eyes. This is what is happening to Charice Pempengco, a little girl with a big voice. One of the world’s most talented kid. She starts with a humble beginning as a small-time amateur singer, then slowly rising as international singing sensation performing with the very best of the world. Charice is being now recognized not only in the Philippines but also in the international music scene. Big names in the music industry like Josh Groban, David Foster, Celine Dion, Andrea Botticelli, just to name a few, was impressed of her talent. She’s the only Filipino ever invited twice on the most watched talk show in the world The Oprah Winfrey Show, and audience from Philippines, Korea, London, USA and some other part of the world rise on thier feet to giver a standing ovation to her extraordinary talent.

Pinoy Dream Academy Little Dreamer Amy Nobleza: The Next Charice Pempengco
October 13, 2008
Being the champion is not the ticket to stardom or being second placer means you are out of the limelight. This was proven a many times over by many successful people in many fields. One, is the rising international singing sensation Charice Pempengco and Christian Bautista who had been just runner-ups in most of the contest they joined yet they manage to shine, brighter and shiner than the winner. I do believe that same fate will fall upon Amy Nobleza (Ana Mae Libot in real life) the 2nd Placer in the recently concluded Pinoy Dream Academy Season 2 – Little Dreamer.
Amy is a 6-year old girl from Las Pinas City, a little girl with a very powerful voice. I was really amazed with her talent when I saw her singing Halik (by Aegis) during the Little Dreamer 7th performance night where she was awarded Outstanding Little Dream. Amy does not only sing she can perform as well. She’s a total performer, a little “birit” queen. Amy got very good vocal quality and have cool moves on stage. She proved her total performer quality when she impersonate the dance moves and singing style of Tina Turner during her gala performance at the Pinoy Dream Academy where she sang What’s Love Got To do With It by Tina Turner. The girl is simply amazing performer; I’d never seen a 6-years old sing like her not even my favorite Connie Talbot.
According some showbiz Buzz, Ellen of The Ellen Degeneres Show is having a plan to invite Amy Nobleza as guest on her show. This is the same show that started the international stardom of Charice Pempengo after being discovered on Youtube. Ellen Degeneres was impressed after seeing the Amy’s performance of What’s Love Got To do With It on Youtube.
Amy Nobleza is known for her impressive interpretation of hits like I Am Telling You, Greatest Love of All, Laguna, Sabi Mo, Diamonds are Forever, One Moment in Time, Someone’s Waiting for You, What’s Love Got to Do With It, Halik, and Saving All My Love For You.
According to many music industry people, Amy Nobleza has a strong tendency of becoming the Charice Pempengco. She got the talent that could make the world notice, just like Charice.
Watch Amy Nobleza vs. Connie Talbot.
