Sony Ericsson Idou versus LG KC910i Renoir

One of my friend asked me what is the toughest cellphone there is on the market, between the clampshell or sliding or the bar phones? I’d always answer the bar phone, one that doesn’t have any mechanical parts for operating the phone. The reason? The information between the moving parts of the phone might be altered or worst lost once the phone aged, or due to wrong orientation and/or handling. But if you have the bar one, all you need to do is to finger the phone for proper operation, I mean to just press on the keys, just like Sony Ericsson Idou!

For better view of your photos and videos, I recommend those phones with large screen (about 3 inches or more). It is not always matters of money if you wanted to enjoy your favourite or the latest movies or news or sports while you’re on the move, or simply enjoying the warmth of the sunset breeze. Who doesn’t want a phone like that?

Adding to that, by simply moving your finger across the screen is much a hell easier than pressing keys, right? The difference is how you grab the phone. With pressing the keys, you have to flex your hand in a way you can click all the keys you needed, while in using a stylus (or the tip of your finger) is enough! You’re like doing the touchpad on your laptop! Take a look at LGKC910i. The same element like 3G iphone, the notable difference is the number of pixels for snapshots.

So, between the 2 phones am comparing with same features mostly, which one is the best? You decide… 

Neno award goes to

An award?! I heard of this thing, and never came into my mind that I’ll be receiving some. For Ruel, thank you so much for trusting me the award. All of us have a list of firsts. This will be included on mine. I think I will be forwarding this award to deserving blogs as well, to share its prestigiousness and its continuity. Make sure to answer the question WHY DO I LOVE BLOGGING.

Let me start by saying I hate those spam emails or chain mails over yahoo saying at the end of a very beautiful message that made you smile for a moment, or made you think for a second, or made you decide to do good beginning tomorrow, or made you pray for the first time after 1 week, and so forth positively: “you have to send this to 20 people within 5 minutes or else you be curse”. I decided to create a blog containing all those chain mails over answering customer’s problems with DSL connection at work (that is multitasking as we were taught in training. You can check my oldest post here, Life of a call-boy agent “while on the phone”). My seatmate (parang classroom lang), who is very fond of creating mushy poems, yada yada yada, taught me how to create a blog from i.ph (thanks Marie! I don’t know if she’s still active, when I checked her posts, I don’t think so).

But that changed everything after I found out that blogging shouldn’t be a second rate copy cat! Meaning, all post must be original, if copied (for those brain-dead zombies, ah huh, am I guilty?) please include a gratitude to that person/institution on your post, or at least acknowledge them.  At first, it’s so hard to decide what will be the most topic to write about, the presentation of each post, the format of the blog, the color, everything! Until I decided to just write about something my moods can, anything under the sun. The word natural hunch came from natural instincts, which synonymously associated with inner thoughts, feelings, commentaries, journal, adventure, life, and after-life awooo.

This blog was stopped for some time, ‘til I watched the film “The Notebook”. Very strong and ironic.  I can see myself in the film, reading my posts to the woman in this blog whom I trust my life and life after. They say you do crazy things when you’re in love, this could be one of the proofs.

Now you’re turn for the Neno award, please don’t forget these simple rules, ayt!

1.       1. As a dedication for those who love blogging activity and love to encourage friendship through blogging.

2.       2. To seek the reasons why we love blogging

3.       3. Put the award in one post as soon as you receive it.

4.       4. Don’t forget the person who gives you the award.

5.       5. Answer the award’s question by writing the reason why you love blogging.

6.       6. Tag and distribute the award to as many people as you like.

7.       7. Don’t forget to notify the award receivers and put their links in you post.

Im happy to present the award to:

 olram - yourmusicremixes

PAYPAL 9 DIGITS BANK CODES

I have difficulty accessing my paypal account these days. It kept on asking me the “for security measures” security question which is the account number of my previous payroll account number in the Philippines. As of writing, I’m in Dubai. The problem is I don’t have a copy of my former Citibank account number. I’m fucked up! Then going through a lot of links inside paypal, I manage to penetrate (what a choice of word!) inside my account even without knowing this security pass (I wonder if this is really a security pass when I can edit my profile few minutes after I reset my password and answered all their security questions but not the Citibank account number!) So I desided to create a post for such an experience with paypal. Paypal, please check your measures, ayt!

The reason I wanted to access my paypal was I am expecting my first income from using the net for almost 2 years. Imagine how long I waited for this moment! Unfortunately, when I’m adding my BPI account, I don’t have any idea what “bank code” paypal is referring to. Using this link (thanks man), I got the correct bank code. For quick reference, here are the list from Mike. If  there are other banks that are not included, I think mike’s site is on top of the rank, but still I suggest you research further.

What came accross my mind is that creating a post should be as unique as possible. This is not a copied post, I wanted to create my own list (even though I ONLY copied the list from the site I mentioned) coz we never know what may happen to one’s blog.  Let’s just imagine Jollibee and Mcdo or MaryBrown having the same chicken/burger/fries for a meal, but differs in advertisement, presentation, price, side dishes, condimens and mostly TASTE. Oh, my stomach said go eat some…

Moreover, if you find the codes  incorrect, that means you didn’t bother to scroll down this line, please add 0 (zero) before the 8 numbers. Hehehe

Healthy Urban Kitchen

“You can live your life once, so get the most out of it”. Do you think eating just any food your toungue seems to like is the answer? I say part yes. But be wise in choosing your daily intake of food or drinks. It will benefit your health, your aura, your soul, even your partner! You can influence people that surrounds you to be healthy once they see proof that you can be as healthy as anybodyelse simply by your choice of food. Choosing your food doesn’t mean cutting your budget on food, dieting doesn’t mean cutting your self from indulging to sin food, moreover eating healthy food is not necessarily you venture into vegetarian way of life: all answers are big NO!

You can wisely choose your food by minding what the food can give you at a specific period of the day, not minding how much it will cost you.Treating yourself once in a week with what you prefer a sinner’s food is ok. That way, your body will have the taste of everything. You can have this book titled Healthy Urban Living as a reference for your road to healthy living.Go out and have fun living the healthy life you’ve been wanting to achieve eversince!Smart choice of food is presented here my friend. All you need to do is to digest it into your mind daily.

A SOULFUL RELATIONSHIP

by Rev. Ronald McFadden

I WANT TO SHARE THIS FOR ALL OF YOU WHO ARE IN RELATIONSHIPS, GOING INTO MARRIAGE, IN GOOD TERMS WITH WIFE/HUSBAND OR SIMPLY WANT TO GET OUT OF THE MARRIAGE (before you do, discern!). I got this email way back 2004.

An African proverb states, “Before you get married, keep both eyes open, and after you marry, close one eye.”
Before you get involved and make a commitment to someone, don’t let lust, desperation, immaturity, ignorance, pressure from others or a low self-esteem, make you blind to warning signs. Keep your eyes open, and don’t fool yourself that you can change someone or that what you see as faults aren’t really important.
Once you decide to commit to someone, over time his or her flaws, vulnerabilities, pet peeves, and differences will become more obvious. If you love your mate and want the relationship to grow and evolve, you’ve got to learn to close one eye and not let every little thing bother you. You and your mate have many different expectations, emotional needs, values, dreams, weaknesses, and strengths. You are two unique individual children of God who have decided to share a life
together.
Neither of you are perfect, but are you perfect for each other? Do you bring out the best in each other?
Do you compliment and compromise with each other, or do you compete, compare, and control? What do you bring to the relationship? Do you bring past relationships, past hurt, past mistrust, past pain? You can’t take someone to the altar to alter him or her. You can’t make someone love you or make someone stay.
If you develop self-esteem, spiritual discernment, and “a life”, you won’t find yourself making someone else responsible for your happiness or responsible for your pain.
Manipulation, control, jealousy, neediness, and selfishness are not the ingredients of a thriving, healthy, loving and lasting relationship! Seeking status, sex, wealth, and security are the wrong reasons to be in a relationship. What keeps a relationship strong?
Communication, intimacy, trust, a sense of humor, sharing household tasks, some getaway time without business or children and daily exchanges (a meal, shared activity, a hug, a call, a touch, a note).
Leave a nice message on the voicemail or send a nice email.
Sharing common goals and interests. Growth is important. Grow together, not away from each other, giving each other space to grow without feeling insecure. Allow your mate to have outside interest. You can’t always be together. Give each other a sense of belonging and assurances of commitment. Don’t try to control one another. Learn each other’s family situation. Respect his or her parents regardless.
Don’t put pressure on each other for material goods. Remember for richer or for poorer. If these qualities are missing, the relationship will erode as resentment, withdrawal, abuse, neglect, dishonesty, and pain replace the passion.
The difference between ‘United’ and ‘Untied’ is where you put the i.

Pay Day Loan

United States of America is one of the countries vaguely affected by the global crisis. Does the newly elected president can do something about it? Don’t you know that every problem has a solution?

President Obama cannot solve the failing economy alone, let small business (like Paydayloan) grow to somewhat equal the equation between loss and gain. For those of you who are financially broke today, I can share to you an option. This program can be easily accessed through the internet, and available within the 52 states. No credit card checks requirements, and on the process, it can compute your asking dollar without you going out at home.  Smart and quick choice, huh? Go click this link if you are intrigued.

APRIL FOOLS DAY

Who does not want to create pranks on a totally legal holiday? Everyone I guess.  Seems to care how people celebrated this day?

1.       It started (?)way back from the times of King Charles IX of France (1582) when he changed the beginning of the year as January 1 from a week-long Christmas celebration beginning March 25-Aptil 1. Some people, who were not informed correctly and used the 1^st of April as the beginning of the year, were called April Fools.

2.       Another theory is due to the birth of Gregorian calendar that replaced the Julian calendar and the moment it was changed, the first celebration of April fools was established. Hmmm, noticeable!

3.       From pre-Christian cultures, they have something to say also: May Day is the 1^st of May and is celebrated as the first day of summer, and the start of the spring planting season. Those who planted on earlier month were termed as April fools too.

4.       In 18^th century (1789), the festival is often biblical, when an English newspaper published an article saying that Noah sent the raven off too early before the water receded (Hebrew’s month is April).

5.       Goin deeper in religion, on the tale of 2 fools of Nun’s and Priest’s Chanticleer and the fox, it took place on March 32^nd, so the fools got their way.

One of the funniest hoaxes that I have read is Swiss harvesting spaghetti from a spaghetti tree (1957), and the people wanted to know how to plant this and harvest one! One cooler thing is that Alabama would want to change the value of Pi (1998) to a biblical value of 3.0! Imagine am still studying mathematics that time! Don’t forget the famous Tower of Pisa that fallen in 1950s after a Dutch television news announced it. Going further on space watch, MINI cars will be used in exploring planets specially Mars. Whaaaat? Crazy!

Don’t you know that 401 (April 1) words are used to create this post? Now can you announce something intelligent as such?
