I have a new baby!

Its my Iphone 4s! Apple Products was never my first choice. In terms of popularity, we have to admit Android phones seems to come first not to mention its a top choice for most people. As far as price is concern, we opt for something less or affordable. However, you wont be able to get the full functionality of a cellphone.

I own ipods and to tell you honestly i am not a big fan. I thought it lacks ingenuity but that was before when i had no idea how apple products works. When i was able to get a hold of an iphone 4 i surprisingly fell in love with it. So i ended up buying a 3gs that partly has the iphone 4 features.

Then as soon as Globe released Iphone 4s along with a great postpaid plan, i didnt waste a time to apply for it. I take my hat off to Globe for approving my enrollment and handing me the phone in 3 days! Now, im enjoying my New baby and my postpaid plan! What more can i get?




Just incase your wondering i enrolled for 1799 MySuperSurf with 4k cash out .

A Deadly Brain-eating Amoeba

In recent health updates, there is a new virus killing 3 people in US -specifically in Virginia and Florida. This brain-eating virus is called Naegleria fowler. Like all other Amoebas they are present in warm waters. However, infection will start if Amoeba manages to swim through the nasal passage making its way to the brain. Symptoms of infection are quite similar to meningitis. So far, there hasn't been reports in other countries about this deadly Amoebas.

Its advisable to keep ourselves updated about this virus. Here is a link: Brain-eating Amoeba

Chinese Hungry Ghost Festival is at work!

Its customary for Chinese to celebrate Ghost month which falls on the 7 month of lunar calendar year. And as Feng Shui goes, this is a month where Yin imbalances Yang mainly causing more distress to our Job, business, health and relationship. The Chinese communities advise not to hold an event such as marriage or undertake any decision like money matters, cause it will plainly bring bad luck. It is said that the deceased, especially those who are unhappy from the afterlife, will seek for food and entertainment. 

Honestly, i haven't heard of  Ghost month ever until know. Personally, i rarely believe in superstitions as such, but Feng Shui came probable to me at some point of my life. Witnessing accidents and untimely deaths completely knocks my disbelief of superstitions out of the window. I could no longer care less of this unlikely happenings not to mention this unlikely events happened at close distance. 

Early this morning i burned incense and say a little prayer. We have to do the same tomorrow and burn Joss Paper(Money of the dead). This are advises coming from Feng Shui experts.

My pride and joy!

My Book and Novel collections are my prized possession. I never loved books in my youth and frankly i hated reading. So i'm kinda like a late bloomer, i realized this interests right after college that eventually became my hobby.  This all started when i have been periodically reading my sister's Magazines. Later, i noticed i have been checking out frequently all the articles i loved to read everytime my sister buys a new issue. It kept me updated and entertained for a while but it was just not enough for me. So i started to collecting my own Magazines a month after that. I have keen interest in articles about healthy living, lifestyle, new technology and GIRLS. NO! its not what you think, i pledge my respect to women. We all know Men love women, right? i respect women as much as i love my collection. So FHM became My very first collection and as far as i can remember i started back in 2007. I may have missed a few issues but it kept me updated of variety of information. You can attain a lot of information from FHM not just showcase of Girls, they literally got everything! That is where i started loving novels because they also have articles about best selling books.  


 So i started with the Book of Mark Bowden's Finder's Keepers: A story of a man who found a $1 million dollar. My wife got this from her friend. I was just curious of its contents which eventually led me to finishing the whole novel. No doubt I loved it! By the way, the Author is very notable of his works like Black Hawk Down which was made a movie. 

Craving for more, my next book was Twilight saga which in that time was very popular among teen. If you haven't heard of it, SHAME ON YOU! haha... not really. This book is about a story of a girl who fell in love w/ a vampire so as the vampire w/ her and additional mythical creature which are a formidable foes of vampires, the werewolves, but according to the book they are called shape shifter. Although the fiction characters thwarted a lil bit what most people are adapted to however its uniqueness quite catch the readers. The author of this book is Stephenie Meyer.

What followed after are books from Sidney Sheldon. Which by the way is my wife's favorite author and he got tons of this, but, i never had the chance to read it all. The only books i manage to read are The sky is falling and Doomsday conspiracy. Not really my cup of tea but it will do for the meantime. 

A teen genre, thriller, mythical, and lil bit of romance, this became my benchmark for a good novel. I did a lil research and found out about the controversial author Dan Brown. I'm very proud to say that i read all of his works: Trilogy (Angel's and Demons, Davinci's Code and Lost symbol), Deception point and Digital Fortress. All his novels has literally elements of Conspiracy from secret societies which brings up the thrill to all readers. His two books were also brought to the big screen: Angels and Demons and Davinci's Code.

Books after books, i finally created my list of favorite authors. One of them is Paulo Coelho but I haven't completed all the books yet, is a long way to go and there is no way i'm stopping. His Books has only a few pages but it consists of thousands of meanings. That is why i love his novels. This is what i've got so far: The Alchemist, Valkyries and The Zahir.

Some of the book i read are recommendations by my friends and some online. One in particular is the book by Yann Martel: Life of Pi. It has gruesomeness in its story but it also incorporates stories about religions, that makes it very interesting. I never really understood the end of the story, but that is what makes it unique. The author intends to make the readers minds puzzled depending on how readers would interpret there would really no specific ending. I'm still considering buying his other books.

And last but not the least, my favorite author so far is Dean Koontz, has uniquely intriguing suspense thriller Novels and science fictions. I happened to buy his book from a book sale and i'm just glad i did. Every flip just brings up the intensity whether its romance or suspense making readers feel the story very realistic. And all books he wrote are based on scientific facts, no wonder it made me feel like it happened in real life. He wrote quite number of books but he never let me down so far. So i'll keep on reading and keep on collecting.


This by far has brought my drive to collect books and novel without limit. I'm looking forward to collect all of the volumes by each author i have. I have completed one so i'm pretty sure i can do it also with other authors. I got an eye on this authors: Nicholas Sparks(Walk to remember), Chuck Palahniuk(Fight club), J.D Salinger (The cather in the rye) and  Rick Riodan (Percy Jackson and the olympians)

What is the best tablet i can find?

I'm looking forward on getting one of the best Tablet i can find particularly in my place. But lets go back a bit why i decided to get one these.

We have been far influenced by technology in our daily life either lifestyle or work. Look around and you'll see someone poking their fingers on their phones. Aside from that, the availability of WIFI is exponential we can almost access internet anywhere. On the other hand, thru connectivity we can freely do most of our online business in the most convenient places like coffee shop, malls, restaurants, just name it you can gain access thru the internet. Laptops can be a bit bulky carrying it around and for some reason it has now gone outdated since the coming of the Tablets PC. Though we still know the advantages of a Personal Computer and laptops considering its technicality like upgrades. However, new tablets is now cellphone capable making it more advantageous than others in terms of communication. There are different brands out there to choose so this is the hard part for me. I have a few candidates that has my taste. 

1. Galaxy Tab 7.0 or newest 10.1

2. Apple IPad 2 (I hope price drops down sooner)

3. Asus EEpad 

4. Macbook

these are just few to mention

Stages of Intoxication

On our regular Saturday night, after clinks of glasses, a few exchanges of banters with my friends and alcohol filling up my system. I suddenly thought of something, how many stages of intoxication are there  before a person completely passes out. So i came to realize, this situation would be the best time to watch my friends closely. I'm a heavy drinker so i don't think i can be a rat lab for this. I know getting a lil tipsy can make your brain work better but not when were heavily boozed. So there is a limitation for me if i do that alone. So from start to the end i took notes (in my mind, of course) Anyway, here are a few things that i noticed: 

1. Confident/Over Confident - No restrictions, you say what you want and do what you want. If your personality is tactless it will be even worse when you drink. 

2. Elation/Excitation - no matter how a person feels from the beginning, they will go through  an ecstatic feeling. This is probably the reason most  of us would feel we're having a great time but i think its caused by alcohol.

3. Emotional - for some, it is already considered drunk but not for me. Because you still have your senses intact. A person carrying a problem/burden at this stage would break down and cry, very likely in breakups. But this is just their chance of letting it out.  

4 Argumentative - we become illogical and would just protest over little things they don't agree with. This will be a battle between what they think is right. At this point, it could end up in a brawl or one of them would let it loose.

5. Guilt/Realization- this is point of realization. Most likely will feel guilt after their actions especially petty arguments. Or, realizing its drinking limitations.

6. Physically impaired - kinda funny right? its very similar to an impaired person. Body at this point won't coordinate with what your mind says. Speaking will be definitely hard and if you manage to speak out whats in your mind, hands down to you! Distinct characteristic of this stage is extreme clumsiness!  

 7. Spiderman abilities - why you asked, you will learn how to crawl, cling to walls and insensible to inhuman physical damage. However, your wrong if you think that is cool. This far you lost your ability to walk or stand and body could either be parallel to the ground or down on all fours. Your only way to get your footing is to cling on walls. You may not feel a thing because of numbness caused by alcohol, if you hit your head or any part of your body you'll definitely feel hell the next day!

8. Sound sleeper - system shutdown, comfortably sleeping  regardless of what position. This is where your friends will make fun of you. So don't be surprised if  pictures of your are all over facebook or other social network sites the next day.

I guess thats it for now. i'll try to update this as soon as i gather more information about intoxication..

BRO CODE! (How i met your mother book )

BRO CODE by Barney Stinson (Neil Patrick Harris) and Matt Kuhn

 

 I really love this sitcom next to Friends. If you watch this you would really know what i mean. Every season it gets closer and closer to Whos their mother (Ted Mosby's kids) and how they met of course. You can find the whole plot of the Sitcom here in Wikipedia: 

How i met your mother wiki

But here is very interesting, Neil Patrick Harris (a.ka Barney) has a book that relates to his role in this sticom. Its like a reference book on how to become Bro (How to be cool as Barney). Its fun, i took a sneak at Amazon the contents of this book. It will show you diagrams and most of all how they hit a girl with a nick like Barney. That is very impressive don't you think? But i don't think you can ever use this  in real life.. hehe... 

I was able find one of this book in National Bookstore but for some reasons i didn't took it home with me. I very much regret why i didn't because when i came back to get it, its no longer available. However, i'm still looking forward on putting this on one of my Book collections. I'm also interested in getting "The playbook" which illustrates the different ways on how to score a girl in one of the episodes (Again, this doesn't help you in any way in real life!) 

So anyone there who can point me online where i can purchase it cheaper..?
