While browsing online, I discovered this new line of product from Smart Communications, the SmartBro Pocket WiFi. I actually heard about these certain product before from Globe MyFi and now, Smart is competing with it. Smart Pocket WiFi promises 2Mbps but I wonder if you could still experience the same speed when you connect 5 devices (maximum number of devices you can connect) into it. Good thing about it is that it’s a modem and router in one not to mention that its wireless. It should pick up HSDPA or WCDMA signal because if not, then you’re broke. I haven’t tried this gadget yet but will make a review soon about it when I’ll get one of this Smart Pocket WiFi! This device will only cost you 495Php per month for 50hours.

Sometimes, I get this question from someone who doesn’t have any experiences with regard to this matter. I have lots of friends who exeperienced this problem and got no other choice but to just dispose their memory card. Right now, I’m gonna teach you a new trick on how to reformat your Memory Card  (MMC) or SD Card if the computer and your phone won’t let you do it. 
There’s no computer application or mobile phone application needed to the deed. What you just need is a digital camera that uses Memory Card (MMC) or SD Card. I learned this trick when I was still using an MMC for my phone and since MMC capable devices accepts SD Card, you can do the same on SD Card. What you just have to do is to format the card on your camera. I do not know why but it is by 90% sure working on my end. So if you have MMCs or SDs that you think is not working anymore because you could not format it, try this trick first because this might be the answer to your questions. If you think its not working, leave me a message or comment to this post so that I can assist you with regard to this matter.

I know this sounds so cheap but I’ll have to rant about it because I could not take this anymore. If you’ve browsed my blog, you’ll notice that I have posts about Bone Thugs N Harmony and yes, you guessed it right, I am a big fan of Bone. I have lots of mp3s and of course, original CDs bought fresh from stores. I haven’t bought the latest, Uni5: The World’s Enemy, because I haven’t found it yet in local stores here in Tacloban.




About 3 weeks ago, I went back to our house at Naval to check some of my stuff when I discovered something really bad. For the record, I have 6 CDs of Bone Thugs N Harmony (East 1999, Art of War (double CD), Thug World Order, Thug Stories and Strength and Loyalty).  I saw my album collections of Bone empty. I check everywhere but the CDs are nowhere to be found. What’s left is the inlay of the album. Those are the only collections that I can be proud of and now, all of them CDs are gone. I do not know where to find those because I don’t have any idea who stole it. I have a suspect, anyway but the problem is that that suspect is not with us anymore. So I just hope that that person will take good care of those CDs like I did when it was still with me. Now, I’ll have to start from scratch and will have to find those CDs online because you won’t find Bone albums in local stores anymore.

Jollibee Foods Corporation, a giant food chain in the Philippines, bought 70% of Mang Inasal. According to what I read, the price is P3 Billion. Jollibee Foods Corporation said that they’ll pay Mang Inasal owner Edar Sia III of Injap Investments Inc. P200 million for downpayment. Wondered why they bought Mang Inasal. Mang Inasal’s main line of product is inasal chicken. Is it because Mang Inasal’s chicken is being patronized now by more Filipinos?

All this time I have never been very lucky in joining a contest. Whether it’s a raffle contest or any other kind of contest. The only contest I won was the Schützen® Notebook from Batang Yagit’s contest almost a year ago. Right now, I’m trying my luck in joining a Photo Contest sponsored by the National Geographic Channel Asia. It’s a photo contest about “Migration”. Basically, you just have to tell the world about your own insight of “Migration” with three categories; Born to Move, Race to Survive, Feast or Famine and Need to Breed.




I submitted my Fisherkid photo for the Feast and Famine category. Now, I am asking for your support to just simply like my entry at Facebook. That’s how easy it is for you to vote. I hope I’m gonna get a good feedback about it and Thank you for taking time reading this blog post. I hope I'm gonna win this contest!

For how many months, my account in Nuffnang was a Glitterati. It's an exclusive membership in Nuffnang where you get loads of features compared to a non-exclusive member. I tried logging to Innit, a Glitterati-only section in Nuffnang, but I wasn't able to log in because it says I am no longer a Glitterati member. I wonder why my account fell down from Glitterati to a non-exclusive. This will really affect the Nuffnang ads appearing in my blogs that's why I am a bit disappointed about what happened. I already sent an email to Nuffnang regarding this matter. I hope everything's gonna be fixed soon.

If you happen to see this video before, you might wonder what kind of creature that is in the video. In my own case, when I first watched this video a few months ago, I never felt well. It’s like I’m gonna puke whenever I eat something slimy. I posted this video in my Facebook profile and a friend told me that it’s not something extraordinary like an alien trying to colonize the Earth. I remember the Zerg from Starcraft. Lol
Many believed that this creature from a sewer in North Carolina is an alien. Well, it doesn’t look normal to me and I suppose to most of us too. A friend has just told me that it’s no alien, it’s a worm usually found in shallow area of a lake or river and sometimes in sewer. It is called Tubifex. So, I’m telling you all to not to worry about an alien invasion, because this thing is no alien, its just tubifex found in a sewer in North Carolina. Check on the video below to know more about tubifex.

I have finally decided what to use as an official comment system in my blog, I chose IntenseDebate. Installation is easy, you just have to download your Blogger template and then upload it to your account in IntenseDebate and then set it up there. Even a grade 3 student can be able to do the job. Users can be able to use different types of login like their Twitter account, Facebook account, OpenID, Wordpress ID or their IntenseDebate account. There are a lot of options available for you when commenting like embedding a Youtube Video, smileys, Daddypoll, sharing your comment to Facebook and many more.
Go to IntenseDebate
The reason why I changed my comment system to IntenseDebate is that the regular comment system of Blogger lacks features. I envy Wordpress’s comment system that’s why I find a way to change the comment system of my blog. Since I already used IntenseDebate in my Photoblog, I decided to just install the same comment system in this blog. Happy commenting everyone!

All this time I have been striving hard to not play an online game. During the Ragnarok era, I was successful in resisting the urge to play it. I never liked the characters in the first place. Then, a Davaoeño friend suggested Gunbound to me and that’s the time that I started playing online games. Until a new version of Gunbound came out and I didn’t like it so I quit playing Gunbound.  Years passed and I became busy from work and other extracurricular activities. 


The other day, I saw my cousin playing this familiar game on the computer. I thought that it was just an ordinary Counter Strike Game recently released but when I checked on it, everything is different. I asked the name of the game and it’s called Cross Fire Philippines. Since I like Counter Strike so much, I decided to check out the game and try it out myself.  I then registered to their website and started playing. The first time I played it, I spent 3 hours online and felt like I still need some more! What’s so good about it is that you can play with people from all over the country. Well that’s the thought of playing an online game but comparing it to Counter Strike where you can only play with people over the LAN, this one is different. I don’t know if I’d get addicted to this game or not but one thing is for sure, I like it more than I like Counter Strike.  How about you? What online games do you play?

The other day, a friend of mine who is a regular viewer of my blog suggested trying changing my blog template. I understand him and then thought that changing my blog template would be very hassle for me since I’ll have to tweak some of the codes. Tweaking will cover from the images to the links to my adsense ads. The last time I changed my blog template, I spent about 4 hours in front of the computer just to finalize everything.

This morning, I don’t know what got into me when I suddenly decided to change my blog template. So I started browsing BTemplates and checked if they have elegant templates ready for use. What I normally do when I want to change my blog template is to check on the code first and see if it isn’t that hard to tweak.  I found this template called Jocasta and fell in love with it the first time. I checked on the codes and it seems too easy for me to modify it. Downloaded the template and then made a backup of my previous template just in case I’m gonna mess up everything. What I like most in this template is that it has an Apple like featured posts and also the avatar of the author.

If you believe you included me to your blogroll list, feel free to contact me thru my contact form. Thanks!

NOBODY BUT YOU    
Author: Blossom Iris Dela Peña

                                            Lying in my bed, thinking of you
                                            Wondering if you`re thinking of me too.
                                            Remembering you is the sweetest thing to do
                                           `Cause in my mind there`s NOBODY BUT YOU.

                                            Let me be in your dreams every night,
                                            To meet you there with my lonely thoughts.
                                            False hopes;shattered dreams how can I go on?
                                            If ever in my dream you`re leaving me alone.
                                 
                                            I wish that GOD would change you,
                                            That someday you`ll feel the same way too,
                                            If GOD forgets my wish for you,
                                            Just remember that in my heart; there`s NOBODY BUT YOU!!

Check out the line at the center
I know to some that this trick is a bit old but I would still want to share this to you all. Did you know that you can play the arcade game called Snake while waiting a buffering video in Youtube? The Snake Game became more popular when people started to use Nokia Mobile phones. There's been a lot of revisions of the Game and it evolved time after time. Now, that popular game Snake came all the way to YouTube. Here's what you gon' do, if you notice that the video you're playing is buffering, you see that there are tiny circles circling at the center of the video. Once you see those circle, immediately press on the arrow keys of your keyboard and you can now start playing Snake! Its amazing and fun taking away your boredom while waiting for the video to load!

The month of October this year has a lot of astronomical happenings like meteor shower. I have seen a meteor shower once and I liked it so much but that happened when I was still a kid. Right now, when I tried to recall that night, I thought that everything was just an illusion (something that kids can only see like their imaginary friends). Well, anyway, this afternoon while reading the local newspaper, I read about this astronomical event that’s gonna happen this month of October. First, on October 17-25, 2010, there will be meteor showers depending on the weather condition and on October 20-28, there’s a comet that will travel all the way to the Sun. Well, right now, what we can do is to wait for the confirmation from Kuya Kim if these astronomical events will happen. I hope it’s true! Wiwo! I’ll be waiting for this one and try to take pictures of them meteors falling from the sky. :D
