Capping

Good day...i dont know for you but it is for me LOL. In any way maki good day nalang kayo sa akin. Let me spread the love ahahaha.

I wasnt able to blog yesterday since i was too busy. Oh from the moment i woke up and after doing my daily rituals...i found myself situated on a soft couch fronting my work netbook. I bashed away at its keyboard with a jumbo cup of coffee on my right side...even if i am left handed.

After four cups of coffee later i was not yet done with my commissioned work chapter. Four tv series episodes and six hours of sleep later i continued. Just around lunchtime today i was finished finally...yes with two cups of coffee that is.

Work done for the week! Now i browse the net and see terrible news. Broadband capping!

I did remember years ago when i got my first broadband connection. So happy i was that i could now stay home and work. I used to go to my dad's office to use his office connection. Funny thing is that the office connection was only 512kbps. So what at least i could get download speeds of 30-40kbps compared to 3kbps dial up LOL

So when i got my first broadband connection at home it was like heaven. Still they could only offer 512kbps but who cared, i was used to dial up for so many years. 512kbps was like Christmas everyday already.

I could remember when i had dial up. I stayed away from big files. When i saw a file 100Mb or more i would immediately turn the other way and drool. Geez 10mb would already be an hour worth of download ahahaha.

When i got broadband oh hell yeah! 100Mb was no sweat at all. So being a part of the first lucky subscribers to wireless broadband i did enjoy 1mpbs connection...yep 1mbps even if i paid for 512kbps.That was because the nodes were still empty.

Two months later, the system was obviously overloaded. Speed check...200kbps! WTF!!!! Several complaints ensued and imagine they told me this lame reason..."Your plan is 990 pesos a month for a plan that IS UP TO 512kbps"

Whew!!! So below 512kbps it is still justifiable? CRAP!!! Because they used the words "UP TO"

Holy crap!!! But of course i understand, up to 512kbps nga naman. Pero BS na yung 200kbps! If it was 450-500kbps it is more understable and acceptable. Pero 200kbps and you tell me justified kasi "UP TO"? UP YOURS!!!!

So they managed to fix it naman...a decent 400kbps during daytime. 300kbps during peak hours and beyond 512kbps during off peak AKA 1am onwards. So ano gusto niyo madaling araw kami mag internet ganon? Tapos sa umaga tatanga nalang kami at maglalaway? BS!!! UP YOURS!!! ahahahaha.

One year of complaining and still nothing! Then there were rumors that the local phone company was expanding and their DSL services would be now available citywide. Bwahahahahahaha!!! Hell yeah! They scampered and did upgrades. They were threatened. And yes i did feel the change. I got contant 500 to 550kbps the whole day and 600kbps off peak hours.

Dati kasi, 6am to 8am...40kbps average speed download. 8am onwards it goes down to 35-40kbps. At 3PM, 20-30kbps and most often reaches even 10kbps in the evening.

With their upgrade...i got a decent 45-60kbps the whole day. TWO YEARS LATE!!!

I got connected with the local telephone company, i called my old provider to tell them i would now disconnect from them. "May we know the reason sir?" he asked. "Super slow internet connection" i said.

"Sir would you like me to waive your present bill. Yes sir free usage for one month and then i will send a technical representative do check on your line so we can make it better"

"Sorry you are two years late. I have been complaining ever since. I just stuck around with your BS service since it was the only one available at this area. Sorry you are two years late"

Now i have a 1mbps connection. Did a speed check on the first day of connection....1.1mbps...1.04mbps...it goes something like that. Several days later....0.97mbps...0.95mbps...0.94mbps...now wait here what the hell is going on? READ THE FINE PRINT!!!!

Oh there it is...."SPEED UP TO 1MBPS" holy crap! Here we go again ahahahaha. Well at least it is justifiably close to 1mpbs!!!

With 1mbps connection, a 100mb file is chicken feed. Ahahahaha. I actually did a torture test on my connection. In one day i was able to download 7GB worth of files. Well not one day but from 6am up to 10pm lang naman. Pero 7GB? ahahahaha

With my old connection...i could manage 1GB only...two years later with their so called upgrade i could get 2-3GB for the whole day. With my new connection i get 3GB for half a day...well 6am to 12am that is ahaha oh yeah 4 hours.

But i love my new connection. Seriously that is. The sad part is that why do i have to pay for the phone? Ahahahaha. Sabi nila kailangan daw kasi may kasamang phone line. So instead of 999 for 1mbps i have to shelve out a few extra cash for the phone line ahahaha. Wow ha. Ang alam ko naman pwede lang internet e kung gugustuhin nila that is ahahaha. Oh well sayang din yung display na phone sa living room. Pag bored pinaparing ko siya using my mobile phone just to hear it work naman and know what i am paying extra for ahahahaha.

BROADBAND CAPPING!!!! This really gives me shivers. Hey its been only 9 days with my new connection and i read that they are going to cap the broadband usage? Holy cow!!!

Well i read that its possible that the cap is 100GB a month per user. So i did some math and that is like 3Gb a day only! Then i did some thinking. Its not everyday i get to download something really. But what if there are lots of things i want to download on that month?

With my torture test i got 7GB in one day...and they are going to cap me with 3Gb a day? BULL FROG!!!

First of all we got one of the most expensive broadbands in the world. And they cant even promise us a stable connection. There is always a fine print of the freaking words "UP TO"

You cant see a company offering "SURE 1MBPS....or EXACTLY 1MBPS" its always "UP TO" so to justify their incompetence just in case they screw up, which is often that is. Hahahaha.

Now you want to cap it? DUH! With the money i am paying a month with my new connection i would get a connection which is double or triple from another country, without CAPPING even.

What reason did the NTC say why they want broadband capping? For better internet connection nationwide. BS!!!

Sana bago kayo mag isip ng ganyan na ek ek, INVESTIGATE FIRST IF THE COMPANIES ARE REALLY GIVING WHAT THE SUBCRIBERS DESERVE WITH THEIR MONEY!!!! I AM NO SAINT BUT IMAGINE TWO FREAKING YEARS PAYING 990 AND GETTING WAY LESS THAN WHAT I DESERVE. AND THEY SAY "UP TO" SO IT IS JUSTIFIABLE.

BEFORE YOU CAP OR DO OTHER STUFF, YOU NTC PEOPLE SHOULD MAKE SURE THAT IF A SUBSCRIBER PAYS 999 HE REALLY GETS 1MBPS...NOT "UP TO"

DAPAT 999 FOR PURE, EXACT, NON FLUCTUATING 1MBPS. IF I PAY 1299 I SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET EXACTLY 2MBPS CONSTANTLY. YAN MUNA DAPAT ATUPAGIN NIYO BAGO KAYO MAG GAGAWA NG CAPPING FOR BETTER INTERNET.

BASURA!!! BETTER INTERNET MY PWET! KAHIT LAGYAN NIYO NG CAP, MAJORITY NG SUBSCRIBERS LUGI NAMAN SA BINABAYAD.

BEFORE YOU CAP BROADBAND, MAKE SURE FIRST THAT THE SUBSCRIBERS ARE GETTING THEIR MONEY'S WORTH.

Buti nalang nakita ko sa ANC, the Senate is investigating about Internet connections. Hohohohoh Broadband that is. So i expect the companies to shape up para di sila mapahiya.

I cant imagine a donut shop advertising, 100 pesos for a box of donuts, up to 10 pieces. When you open you have only 9....or even 8...and they can say its justifiable kasi sabi naman sa ad na "up to" e ahahahahaha.

Diba mas maganda bumili nung sure na may sampo ang laman? COMMON SENSE! ahahaha.

Now people will say iba naman ang internet e. Di mo naman pwede gawin constant yan e kasi madaming external and internal variables involved. BS!!!! Wag kayo magrarason ng BS na ganyan.

If a company wants a subscriber to get 1mbps constantly they can do that. They can even assure that if they want to. Kasi ang problema, pag isang facility or equipement, sabi doon ay it can serve 60 subscribers with sure 1mbps connection.

Ang ginagawa ng iba ay...61...pwede yan...63...65...in short overloaded na sige parin ng sige kasi sayang yung bayad.

Imagine they should set it at 60. Bakit nag overload? Kasi beyond 60 that means new equipment. Panibagong gastos. Pero konting overload lang...extra kita na yon! Kasi po ganito yan. Say may 70 subscribers sa isang area. 60 lang yung capacity ng system for efficient internet connection. Pag 60 lang ayun assured na 1mbps lahat. Maybe fluctuating kasi nga po copper lines parin ang gamit ng Pinas.

Just like our place, kokonti palang kami. So i am having a fair and decent average of 0.94-1.04mbps connection. If they overloaded then i am sure i would be getting around 700kbps-900kbps at only feel 1mbps during off peak. That is just a hunch and hopefully they dont overload.

Unlike my old connection, the tech guys admit that the node was overloaded ahahahaha! Paging the Senate!

So as i was saying, pag may 70 subscribers na...magdadalawang isip sila. Kasi there are 10 extra subscribers...will they buy equipment just for the 10 subscribers? Or will they just tell them to wait for the expansion and not let them connected.

Sana they be decent to tell them to wait for expansion. Minsan kasi mapilit din yung iba. "Bakit sila nakabitan. Ayan o ang lapit lang. Bakit pa kami mag aantay ng expansion e katabi lang namin sila?"

E KASI PO NAUNAHAN KAYO! PERIOD!

So if they see that there is like 40 to 50 in the waiting, ayun new equipment. Expansion time. Then they can re-route the lines. Para ang magkakapitbahay from the same equipment na tapos yung malayo na dun na sa new system...or however that goes.

Sana ganon para maganda ang internet connection pero sad to say....with ten extra...they fit them in. Sige kabitan na yan sayang ang kita. Tutal di naman techie masyado yung 60 siguro so di sila mag complain that much. Hahahahaha. Honestly ganito naman talaga dito sa Pinas diba?

Or they wait for complaints to pile up and then they say "Okay bad move nga" ahahahaha.

So what my new provider is doing nationwide is really great. Imagine they do advertise that there are 1000 connections available for first come first served basis. That is really good. Dapat may order.

How i wish they dont overload the system here at our place. With my old provider, aminado sila they were overloaded. Just recently did they add nodes and upgrades.

The senate should investigate this. Overloaded nodes and systems. For sure when they do this biglang gaganda ang connections sa buong Pinas. Oh trust me on this one.

Ciao!

March 15 Madness

Sorry i was not able to blog yesterday. Naks naman blog daw o ahahaha. As if naman may nagbabasa ng mga pinagsusulat mo dito. Nyahahaha. Ni wala comments nga kasi non sense mga post mo. But wait!!! Maybe they dont know comments are activated again LOL.

Anyway i laughed so hard knowing that lots of people did believe the hoax. Facebook was closing on March 15 the story said. Seriously? You believed that crap?

Come on, Facebook is hundred million dollar company. Mark invented it but as the ball rolled investors came in and stocks were divided. If you watched the movie you would know that Mark does own the majority of stock, and not all of them. Even that Napster dude got a share of stock.

So Mark cannot just say I will close Facebook because I'm stressed. Oh no it does not work that way. That may be his sentiments but for sure not all of the stock holders. If the article said all stock holders agreed with him that is the right time for you to panic.

But still, seriously? They will just simply close a multi million dollar company for a lame reason? Oh come on people! If all the stock holders are indeed saints then that is possible. Shutting down that sure money making company due to stress?

Well if they agreed then for sure they wont just shut it down. There will be lots of other people interested to buy their stocks and take over the company. Oh yeah that is how it works. Mark, being the majority stock holder does have a say but so does the rest of the stock holders. You dont believe me, watch Wallstreet 1 and 2 ahahaha.

If Mark wanted out then he could have just sold his stocks and retire even richer by doing that. Trust me a lot would but his stocks in a blink of an eye. So right from the start that story was a hoax.

Anyway Mark clarified that issue already and said they are not going anywhere and they are just starting. I hope that clarification issue spreads just as fast as the hoax did so i wont be seeing those annoying posts about the hoax anymore.

I forgot to blog yesterday because i was in the zone. Yup, i was doing a commissioned work chapter. I just finished it today, 35 pages for one chapter. Oh yeah i was really pumped up with the good plot on my head.

So yesterday i was bashing away at the keyboard was IDM was busy downloading the second season of my favorite series.

Rest day for tomorrow and of course for the remaining hours of this day. I wanted to continue encoding Bespren but for what? MPEX is gaining molds already in my hard drive but i dont intend to gain nothing like my first two ebooks. I have been ignoring messages from one comm work group wanting to buy it and now i am really tempted to bite at their offer.

I still have not done a preview chapter for Resbak. The same group is already bugging me to do so but i dont really have the time and proper motivation yet. So guys give me more time. Maybe next week since my mind is focused on my current comm works and i hate to add another story on my mind right now.

Friday will be another busy day for sure as i continue my comm works. Sunday will be another rest day for Monday i will be really busy.

People keep asking me about the house of Jeff. I offered it so many times and only a very few are interested so just like i said i wont be doing it anymore. I have no free time to write for free. I got lots of bills to pay and projects to fund.

I watched the American last night, it was quite boring to be honest. Now i know why they casted George Clooney in it LOL. But i did understand the story. Its about a guy finding love which is difficult in his line of work. His employer tells him alway, "Dont make friends"

Geez, i can remember the first scene where he actually shot his love interest. Im sure she was his love interest but he was forced to shoot her because she saw him kill a man who was after him. Maybe if she didnt act hysterical he might have not killed her.

Why do i say love interest? Well he was haunted by that. Well anyway he found love with a working girl or call girl? Yes he was really in love and so he wanted out of his "job" and his boss wanted him dead. Maybe he knew too much.

So in the end he got to kill his boss but was shot at the same time. When he was about to rendezvous with his love interest he finds out he was shot too. And the story cuts. LOL. Make up your own ending that is. Tragic? It depends on your imagination.

I might try that ending one time in a story. I actually did once but i got lots of comments asking what happened. LOL. So maybe its a bad idea ahahaha. People want closure!

I dont know what else to talk about so i end today here.

Ciao!

Resbak

Good day,

I was listening to Kuya Kim last week and he said that it would be a rainy week ahead. As I woke up this morning he wasnt joking. Well almost, i woke up around six in the morning and stepped out of the house to turn off the street light. There are two posts near our house, one is automatic and one is manual LOL. As a good citizen i turned off the manual light post.

Anyway i noticed the dark gray clouds immediately and felt a little drizzle. This is bad i said so i knew the rains would come soon. Seven in the morning and the he was really right i guess, another hour passed and oh boy i was preparing for rain.

8:15AM the sun peeked and shone brightly and never stopped. So its going to be a sunny day after all. Still i was lazy so i took out my netbook and began working on comm works.

Lunch time and i was finished with one. I was lazy to start another one so i did some daydreaming and thought of my planned story Resbak. One comm work group has been asking about it, but i could not commit anything since the plot was not yet ironed out. So during the daydreaming process i did think of this sixteen year old boy.

He was enrolling at college so far away from their home. He didnt know why his father wanted him to enroll at a such far away college when they had one good school near their place. So as a good boy he did as instructed but while in line he noticed a pretty girl pass by the street. He was so intrigued and yes fixated so he decided to ran after the girl.

The young lady turned at a corner, he ran faster and when he did turn the corner it was a dead end and the girl was not there anymore. He starts to tremble in fear and laugh at himself. Was it really a ghost? He didnt go back to school for enrollment, he decided to go home and tell his father about it and begins to question again why he was to enroll at that far away college.

The next day, he lost the argument, he was again in cue but the girl passed by again. He ran faster this time but still he didnt see her at the dead end. He inspected the place and looked for a secret door but to no avail.

He was now really intrigued so he decided to go home again and tell his father about it. He lost the argument so on the final day of enrollment he didnt go to school. He hid himself near the dead end and after a few minutes he saw his dream girl pass by and enter a wall. In disbelief he approached the wall and knocked on it. Fear engulfed him but he was sure he was not dreaming. He heard several voice so he hid himself again, several youngsters did enter the wall too so once alone he rushed the wall and BLAM! He sprawled on the floor laughing at himself.

He knew he wasnt dreaming so he waited. A middle aged man approached the wall, he rushed the man and grabbed on to his clothes. They both entered the wall and the young man was so surprised to see a huge school campus.

The middle aged man was so surprised for he let in a stranger, he told the young man to get out for he did not belong there. So he ran, a chase started around the campus....

Enough spoilers hehehe. A lot did happen after that. They try to erase his memory but to no avail, so the young boy uses his knowledge of the school as blackmail so they were forced to accept him with a stern warning.

"You can get killed anytime since you are powerless and you dont know magic"

Pinoy Hogwarts? Hmmmm maybe but with a twist ahahaha.

So how will this powerless young boy survive in a magic school? How will he win the heart of his dream girl at the same time?

So many twists, so many secrets to be revealed.

This is.....RESBAK!

With Salamangka taking the path of Lord of the Rings with a twist, i wanted to have a Pinoy Harry Potter this time, with a twist! LOL.

Basically its a love story, full of comedy i promise. But can you imagine how he will survive? This isnt simple Hogwarts, in this school you can duel fellow students anytime....much of the explaining later on ahahahah.

Of course aside from the love story and struggle for survival there is a bigger story. It might span into four books. Hehehehe. So i hope you comm group members are reading this, what do you think? Worth your money? If it is then lets talk.

Now back to comm works for the rest of the day....

Ciao!

Cool New Browser

ROCKMELT!!!

What can i say? Cool! Well it has Facebook integration. On the photos i deactivated the left "Edge" but the right "Edge" is present.

The left edge will show your online friends from Facebook. On the upper left portion of the browser you will see even your profile pic, yes mine is that little smiley with glasses. It indicates that you are online at Facebook. But i deactivated my left edge since i dont want to go into chats LOL.

On the right edge you see the applications edge. Super cool. At first install it already had Facebook and Twitter. I just added a while ago my Plurk account. Status updates from friends do pop up at the bottom right of the browser, Facebook or Twitter, trust me its gonna show up for a second, complete with Profile picture of your friend and their update.

So far i have three apps, Plurk, Facebook and Twitter. Its quite fun really because i only have this blog open as i am writing but i can keep track of my Facebook and Twitter accounts, plus plurk.

ROCKMELT, under beta testing is way cool! Its fast even when browsing sites. Chrome users need not adjust because they are much the same.

On the left side, upper left side we have our little Facebook profile pic, click on it and a panel comes down. You can choose to post a Facebook status update or a Tweeter update. The good thing about using this on Facebook updates is that your post will have a ROCKMELT tag on it.

If i wanna twit, all i have to do is click my profile pic for Twitter on the right edge and a panel comes out, i can simply write a twit that easy hehehe.

If i am at a different site, all i have to do is click on my Facebook avatar on the right edge to check updates...oh yes they will show up.

Super cool browser!!! Easy to use even!

ROCKMELT ROCKS!!!!

(How did i get it? I got invited. The download link works only once. But i got 2 more invites left to give up. If anyone is interested then we got to be friends on Facebook. Thats how it works trust me. Coz there is this little icon on the upper right side...you can see it at the pics....at that time when that pic was taken i had six invites left. Now i am down to two. You can only invite your friends. It automatically sends them a Facebook message that includes the DL link)

Eye for an Eye

No thats not a local television show LOL. That was Eye to Eye i think where you could always hear the famous line, "Kilala mo ba ako?" Ahahaha yeah that husky womanly voice of ate Inday.

Well its really sad knowing that your works has been passed around by the people you thought you trusted. I was even chatting with them, exchanging jokes online but behind the scenes oh boy they are acting like Santa Claus to their friends. Those lucky ones who got the ebook even passed it around even more.

So in the end, is a recipient really innocent? "Pinasa lang naman sa akin e" palusot...yeah right! So why would someone pass the ebook to you if you were not even interested in the first place? Lets say i was one of these morons who got an illegal copy. So i read the ebook and found it great...do i just log on to my email account and forward it to all my contacts? Oh really?

So there is what you call an eye for an eye. Trust me i will get even ahahaha. So how do i get even? Of course it takes time to know what the culprits love doing, just like me i like writing and they pirate so i will get to know what they like doing and lets just say i will take it away too. Even trade, mata sa mata. Excuse me there is a justice system....yeah right...it can come later.

I saw online the last image captured by a murdered person. He was taking a photo of his family on New Year's eve. The sad part is near his family there was this person person with a cap pointing a gun at him. The man died but he was able to capture his killer. Anyway the killer was caught recently.

I feel just like that man, imagine he saw the person who was going to end his life. I on the other hand am mingling with the people who will stab me at the back ahahaha. The difference, i am still alive. Lucky me i guess but for now let us pray for the early repose of the souls of my pirates. Yes i am serious ahahaha.

On a lighter note....MOTOROLA XOOM! The alleged I-pad killer ahahaha. Its got Android 3 (Honeycomb) !!!!

Dual Core NVIDIA Tegra 2 Processor (1Ghz)

1Ghz RAM

32 Gb built in memory

32 Gb maximum microSD card slot

5Mp camera

Dual LED flash

720p HD video capture (1280x720)

2Mp front camera (Hell yeah video call capable!!!)

Wifi, Bluetooth, 3G

Eat that I-pad!!! Hahahaha! Oh yes its a gigantic phone too! Its dual band (900, 1800)

No idea on the price yet, but for sure its going to be close to the price of the Samsung Tablet. Around 34k i guess. But still i would go for a good laptop instead ahahahah. Its so odd answering my 10 inch phone in public bwahahahaha.

"Pare patext nga" someone would say and you hold on your Xoom tablet tight and face it to him bwahahaha. "O sige magtype ka na, hahawakan ko" you say nyahahahaha.

And you walk around with the ten inch tablet near your ear and begin to talk. People around you would say you are "Pasikat" or "Sira ulo" bwahahahahaha. And one person looks at you shortly and grabs your tablet and runs away really fast ahahahaha. Gone in sixty seconds!

So this year we expect lots of tablets coming out. More touch screen phones and i heard super cheap digital cameras. Yes i read online that major manufacturers are coming out with $100 dollars and less priced cameras.

Why? Because of sales drops...why buy a camera when your phone has one? Photo experts would disagree and say "Iba parin ang kuha ng real camera"

My answer, "Shut up" ahahaha. Trip nga nila papakialaman niyo pa. Di lahat expert so mind your own business.

On TV...a little Indian man pole dancing LOL!!! What the hell am i watching? Bwahahaha...oh its ANC...2010 in review...oh there is that Japanese chick with four i-phones singing and playing stuff...she is good. But i like those two college guys with PVC pipes better. They Rock!!!

Oh great coffee is out...i guess thats my time online. Time to watch some videos now. I lost interest in continuing my encodes. I'd rather focus on commissioned works now. At least i can trust these people.

So many stories still unencoded and unwritten, i will continue what i love doing if i find the proper motivation but for sure i am going to get even.

Now playing....BEP....Oooooh ah ah ah ah ahhhhhhaaddd the time of my life....tugs tugs tugs....and i never felt this way before...tugs tugs tugs Tweety Bird....Tweety Bird....Had the time of my life.....

....but it only lasted for three days.

Hahahaha oh well....its the truth....and to you i owe....tugs tugs tugs....Im really loving this song already ahahahaha.

No wonder it was really meant in the past tense.

I had the time of my life.

Lazy Saturday

Woke up at 4am...freezing cold!

Turn...pull the blanket and wear the bonnet...sleep again. Woke up at six, it was still freezing cold. Several turns and i couldnt get my sleep back. Turned on Mini Moni, yes my laptops do have names ahahaha. E paki niyo ba kasi nyahahaha.

Anyway, i immediately found the first season of my favorite series. Oh yes this is where Elisha Cuthbert became famous. Amazingly there were 24 links of 130MB each, MKV format. I piled them up in my IDM and began downloading.

I did some math on my head, the total size of all the files would amount to 3GB. Geez, with my old connection that would take me one a a half day. With my new connection I was done when Eat Bulaga started. I'm not bragging but I am just happy. But i guess in other countries they would have finished earlier. Saw some friends in a forum who boast their connections. Oh yeah i do drool with their 15Mbps download speeds.

Fiber Optic lines! That is what they use. A good investment for their internet providers. Here we still use Copper Wire lines ahahaha. My brain seems to be working fine still, i can still explain the history of the telephone, the dial up internet and even the transition to ADSL ahahaha. Well when i graduated from school, dial up internet was still the IN thing. And our thesis was about ADSL, broadband internet....memory lane....

Its quite difficult being an ECE person. Whenever there is a new tech thing out there you dont simply ride on the band wagon to get one. You immediately look for the specifications ahahaha.

I do remember there was this Asus EEE craze years back. Oh a lot of people were fooled by the small netbook. It was even cheap i do remember. That item was selling like hotcakes. For me i immediately looked for the specs and laughed out loud.

Yeah it was small, it was light, it had Wireless Fidelity (Wi-fi) and it had a decent processor to do office and school stuff. What made me laugh was the memory. Imagine a netbook with a hard drive that is a memory card LOL! That time 4GB was the standard memory card.

Just as expected a lot of people were selling their units for less. LUGI MUCH!!!

That is why last January 2010, my uncle said he had an extra notebook. Before he even rode the plane i already asked for it. When they arrived here at the Philippines my dad went to pick them up. He saw the netbook and wanted it. So we talked over the phone and i asked what Brand? He said it was an Asus EEE. I laughed and said it was yours. He asked my why i was laughing and i said it was not nice.

He came home to Baguio and gave me the netbook. My dad trusts me so much and i guess he didnt want the netbook after my laugh. I didnt even want to touch it but it was so cute that i had to get my hands on it.

Turned it on and i was amazed to see windows XP load. A quick system check and i was shocked to see it had two partitions of 70GB each. "What the hell is going on here?" i asked ahahaha. RAM size, 2GB...am i dreaming. Quick internet check and oh wow i was so wrong.

My bad! Everytime i head Asus EEE, i turn away but i was so wrong. They did major upgrades to their cute netbook. It had a decent Atom processor, the hard drive was even SSD. This cute machine was MINE! ahahahaha.

And then there was the I-pad. Spec check....1Ghz processor...memory...32GB...all yours!!! Hahahaha. A little common sense people, 50k pesos for that machine or a decent netbook or even notebook?

There is a netbook worth 11k, it has 160GB hard drive, more than 1Ghz processor, 2GB RAM...you save 39k and you can do more stuff! Its even portable, so what if i cant finger the screen? I can do more, save more with that cheap netbook.

What they dont know is that the I-pad was created to rival the Kindle, an ebook reader. So it was Apple's ebook reader that could do more. The cheap netbook can read ebooks too you know ahahaha.

My Sony K800i is ready to retire. I hate being an ECE at moments like this. For several months i cant decide what to get. Definitely I am getting an Android OS phone...the BADA OS seems tempting but the Android has more free applications.

I-phone? Yeah right! ahahaha.

So what am i looking for anyway? I need a decent processor, 600Mhz to 800Mhz would do fine...1Ghz is more tempting but those phones come with a 30k price tag.

"Pati ba naman phone may processor?" they ask. Syempre! "E ano naman difference kasi pag mabilis processor?" hirit nila. Shungak mag testing ka ng mga touch screen, pag mag shift ka ng page at nakita mo may lag meaning mabagal ang processor. Pag walang lag, ay maganda at mabilis processor niyan. Thats the easiest way to explain trust me. If i explain technically wala na... ahahaha

Wi-fi capable dapat! Kasi may router sa bahay, pag tamad bumangon mag net nalang sa phone ng libre! Pag may Hot spots sa mall or sa kahit saan libre net pa.

Camera? Basta ayos at nakakakuha ng picture okay na. Kasi kukuha din lang ako ng Bridge Camera ko.

So why cant i choose yet? Kasi karamihan Android 1.6 up to 2.1 lang. Gusto ko Froyo (2.2) or 2.3 na para ayos...but wait theres more! Google announces Android 3! CRAP!!! Hahahaha.

Dibale matagal pa konti ang Android 3, so it must be 2.2 ready because for sure a 2.3 update will be available.

Bakit kasi importante pa ang version? Kasi sa 2.2 pwede ka na magsave ng apps sa memory card. At syempre the higher the version the smoother the operating system. The good thing in being hesistant is that the prices go down in time ahahaha.

I can go for an LG Optimus One, it has Android 2.2, 600Mhz processor and it costs 12k only

I can opt for HTC Wildfire, same specs with LG but its 14k i think

There is the Samsung Spica, same specs with those stated above, the price almost the same as the two.

Or we can go cute ahahaha, Sony X10 mini....really decent camera but Android 1.6 lang ahahaha...still waiting if they have a 2.2 update. If they do then this might be the one since i have been a Sony fan eversince.

Or i can shelve out more money to have the HTC Desire...oh i dont need the HD capabilities.

Or the Samsung Galaxy S....now this is the PHONE! Trust me this is better than the I-phone.

Pag makunat ka may Cherry Mobile naman na Touchscreen, may 1Ghz snap dragon processor pa at Android 2.2 siya ahahaha. And trust me its cheap. Will i go for this phone? Ahahaha! Nuff said.

Acer Ferrari? 29k? Bwahahaha bakit ko bibilhin yung pangalan? Katumbas lang niya yung Optimus One. Maganda lang tignan yung Acer Ferrari. Pag pasikat ka e di go ahahaha. Mag practice ka narin tumakbo at mabibilis ang mga snatcher.

So ano kukunin mo?

I have no idea. Bihira ko naman gamitin CP ko nyahahaha.

Sprite Day

Yo!

Forgot to blog today...almost! Well i was busy this morning because i went out to buy some much needed tummy medicine. Oh i have been not dumping waste normally ahahaha. The solid waste is too much assorted if you get my drift. Its been that way for days so the only remedy to this is Sprite. Trust me it works. Now i can even dispose the waste ahahahaha. Geez.

"Kadiri naman ng blog na to" i can hear one commenting already ahahaha. "E Ano paki mo?! Wag mo basagin trip ko okay?" sagot ko naman. Para naman di ka umeebs ahahaha. E ano kung bulgar ako. E di wag ka magbasa bwahahaha.

Anyway I dont know why Sprite works but after my first glass i was that confident already LOL. Trust me i can feel the healing effect of taking four glasses which i am already regretting by the way. Go figure!

So once i got home i turned on my laptop....wait i left it on...so Drive by E-heads was playing. Yeah i am an E-head fan eversince i can remember. So took off my decent clothes and wore beggar clothes. Yes a shirt with more than four holes, in some my fingers cant even fit but there are two that i can count that can fit my fist LOL.

Why the heck is the screen of my laptop so dark? The shades dumbass!

Okay so i open the word pad and take my scrap pad and begin encoding chapter 2. Wait i need coffee...i mix up a huge jumbo cup of coffee and take a sandwich. Check my favorite sites and find new videos. Line them up in IDM and encode begins.

Coffee was gone in thirty minutes and so i had my first glass of Sprite. Hell yeah i burped. Which is quite better than farting and getting so dizzy after LOL. Turn on the TV and look its Ted Williams!!! The homeless guy...but wait theres more!!!

Wow he has a new haircut and clean decent clothes. He is located inside a radio station and being interview live on CBS news...lucky guy. I hear he already has work and his 92 year old mother is so happy for him.

Anyway back to work. Done in an hour and now the comm work chapters begin. Shorts getting tighter LMAO!!!

11 Degrees celcius today compared to 12.4 degrees yesterday. No wonder i was almost naked yesterday ahahaha. Today is different but i still can manage to wear air cool clothes. Finished my comm work chapters at 4pm. Start playing music...Lady Gaga. Oh yeah believe it. I went Ra Ra Oh lala whatever or however it goes i dont really care as long as i get to shake my booty.

I peek at the boob tube and see a familiar face. A general's wife...their house has been robbed. Here in Baguio...tsk tsk tsk...and then i hear dad's voice..."Thats your aunt" he said and oh yeah and i see my cousin being interviewed. Memory gap...they were just here last January 2 ahahaha.

"Good afternoon sir gusto lang namin magbigay ng babasahin"

"Oh ano naman mababasa ko diyan?"

"Sir tignan niyo po, basahin niyo para ma enlighten kayo"

"Di na switch ko nalang yung ilaw mamaya"

"Sir sige na try niyo lang"

"Wala bang audio book yan or mp3? Tinatamad ako magbasa e"

"...."

So now the weekend is about to start...what will i watch?

Ten Commandments in 3D! Blu-ray pa! Bwahahahaha!

Ay ukis ti saba naglamin manen!
