Tekkie Tekkie Muna (Christmas is nearing, and lubos kaming nagmamalasakit sa inyo at sa inyong loved ones), did you know that there's an app that can help you "organize" your life by reminding you of your goals, wants or desires....before you squander all your paycheck on unnecessary and trivial things.
