Sa mga naghahabol sa balentyns

"Me kadate ka na sa balentyns?"

nakanampucha! asa tindahan ako nung isang araw at ito ang topic ng mga estudyante ng Trinity college sa may malapit sa St. Lukes.

Kelangan talagang maghabol sa balentyns? sabagay, kung bigo ka nung pasko, baka sakaling makabingwit ka ngayon sa pebrero.

Pero di gaya ng ibang pebrero, sobrang init ng panahong ito. Ung literal na init ha.

(warning, private jokes ahead)
At dahil sa weirdo ang mga kaibigan ko, mga ayaw sumabay sa norms, iba ang hinabol nila. Hinabol nilang magpaka single sa balentyns. Sila Chinchin nalang ang natitirang buhay, go! go! Pero ang iba, gaya ni gym-adik-mahilig-magpaiyak-hearthrob na kakabreyk lang ay nagvow na isang taon syang walang paiiyakin (gud luck! eh panu ung german), at ni writer-turned-public-kissing-guru na kakasingle lang din kasi carreer muna daw uunahin (whatever, pero susuportahan kita dyan) na after ten years ay nakikinita kong single padin at lalo pang tumaba pero me palanca award na. Tapos ang Peter-pan-center-of-the-solar-system-moving-around-with-are-the-*** ay kumakarir na ng wendy at ang baby *&^$% nya ay hinahayaan nalang sumuka magisa (shet sorry kay baby *$&%^! di ko napigilan!). Ang Kuya-ng-bayan-na-nagbibinata ay di parin namin mahagilap kahit saan. Ang bruneiyuki-all-time-gigolo naman ay mukhang me bago nanaman, di ko na nasasaulo ang mga pangalan sa dami, iba iba each week ata. Ang DJ-in-da-house naman ay kinabog lahat ng experience ng lahat ng nabanggit ko sa taas.

Bakit bako nagbblog ngayon ng napakawalang kwentang bagay? ewan ko. Por a change lang.

Pero para sa inyo, ito masasabi ko:
una, wag maghanap ng kadate online, ung tipong magaadvertise pa ng "sinong libre sa..." unless kaibigan nyo na yun, itext nyo nalang.
pangalwa, tama na ang pagtambay sa gateway, wala dyan ang future mo.
pangatlo, hayaan mo nalang na panira ang trabaho sa social life. mas madali kumuha ng lablyp pag me pera ka (magastos makipagdate, diba bset?)
pang-apat, kung kakabreyk mo l ang, tama na ang drama, pain only lasts a few minutes, anything after that is self inflicted.
pang-lima, mag diet ka naman! half rice tayo lagi, keri mo?
pang-anim, since single ka, o kung di man, magpakita ka padin sa mga single mong pwends. wag madamot sa oras.
pang-pito, kung yayain ka sa videoke, please lang, wag kantahin ang "sana'y maulit muli" or "I'll be" hindi nyo theme song yan.
pang-walo, wag nang maghalungkat pa ng mga numerong di mo man matandaan kung sino sa phone book mo, malamang nareject mo na yan dati at di mo lang nabura ang number, maghanap ka nmn ng bago.

At kung nabaduyan kayo sa yotyub video sa taas eto nalang sa baba:




Ay basta, saka na lang ako magbblog ng matino, ganito ang itsura kasi last week ng opisina ko, MAGULO! Me mga box na kalahati lang ang laman at halo halo na ang nasa loob kelangan ko pang pagsunod sunudin ang mga pahina. more than isang araw ko ata natapos mag repack. So, hanggang ngayon nawala na ung mga box, pero magulo padin. Kaya pagpasensyahan nyo muna ang wlaang kwentang post na ito.
Kaya ayun... paalam!

Yakimix Jap overload

I grew up with only Kamayan as my only choice of buffet restaurant. Then came its triple V alliance (parang voltes V lang). Of course there’s Cabalen which I think is getting better than Kamayan. The triple V group however is losing its magic on me already. I’ve already memorized the taste of their food and they don’t anymore bring me to that gastro orgasmic frenzy like they used to. Manang’s menu over at Rufino’s jollijeep sounds more exciting even.

Then I was introduced to Yakimixx by an online friend. The mere thought of Jap on buffet already gave me heavenly tummy spasms from all the craving.

For only 550 Php (with bottomless drinks) for lunch, Yakimixx sounded like a hoax, it was simply too good to be true. I doubted its quality as a Jap restaurant and dared try it with friends just for the heck of it.

But I almost went on a happy excited crazy bawl over what I saw at yakimix. Fresh Japanese food, with a wide selection of your favourite sushi, from your usual maguro sushi, you also have your chicken and apple, spicy salmon, unagi and many others. But that’s just one buffet table. Another separate long table would have your salad bar, a Chinese-Jap viand collection (fried rice, soup, tempura, etc.), an appetizer bar and a dessert bar.

Animetric would describe one section as his “anti-umay bar” laden with your atchara, kimchi, spinach and pickled vegetables. The dessert part would feature a wide variety of pastries, cakes and ice cream.

But I guess what would keep one from coming back is Yakimix’s wide variety of meat seasoned in many different ways possible (beef pepper steak, spicy HK chicken, pork barbeque, and even some of your white meat seafood selection). This part one would enjoy as you’d have to cook them on your smokeless griller placed at the center of your table. This way, you have complete control on how you’d love your meat whether cooked easy or well done.

I just hope they could maintain the quality of their food with the same price. As I would like to keep on coming back.
For now, I’m giving them ten thumbs up! I’m definitely recommending this to my friends.

Sungit mode and back

One, I rarely respond to Group Messages, though I am guilty of such from time to time, I’d somehow limit them to sensible messages in need of a public announcement GMs. Pero oo, cool forwarded messages are still ok. If we are not close, I suggest you just make your own twitter account.

Two, don’t text me a generic “good morning”. I’d assume since you’re on Unlitxt, you’ve prolly sent them to 500 of your contacts. Chances are, if you find me on a foul mood, I’ll never reply to any of your messages for that day.

Three, Absence makes the heart go fonder… but for me it makes the heart forget.

Four, I am now tired of asking people/ friends out. Don’t anymore expect me to be all Tim Yap. You ask me out, not the other way around. Spontaneity is the new game. Let’s see if I’m free.

Five, I’ve realised that all I need in life would be God, my family, my better half, and best friends, if you don’t fall in any of these categories, or would never have the chance of being in any, don’t even bother. I really don’t give a damn anymore for anyone so unimportant.

Six, I hate users. Nuf said.

Seven, the world DOES NOT revolve around me, but sometimes, I do need SOME appreciation. But I’d know if you’re all fake, hindi ako kulangot so wag mokong bola bolahin.

Eight, Kung MAYABANG Ka, pero panget ka na, bobo pa, social climber na pilit, sinungaling na frog, wag kang lumapit sakin. Mangangati lang ako, at baka mandilim paningin ko at baka mapagkamalan pa kitang basurang kelangang sisiga sa ilalim ng puno ng mangga.

Nine, If you text me something but when I reply a whole paragraph back, you give me a smiley, back off, you’ll just raise my ire to near ozone.

Ten, I hate myself. Because I know that after today, all that I wrote above wouldn’t really apply anymore and I’d be all too nice and cuddly again. All welcoming to everyone including stray cats even higads. That I’ll still be overflowing with positivity and would like to share so much love in the world. Tapos lahat kayo, kukulitin ko ng MIIIIISSSSSSSSS NAAAAAAA KITAAAAAAAAA!!!!

Darn, I hate myself. Can’t I be all nega for once?!?!?!?!?

HAAAY!!!! EPIC FAIL!

Tired of your Globe Tattoo????

If ever I'd get invited to a globe event, I hope they won't be able to read this, haha. Well, I am a globe tattoo user as well, but as a good friend of mine commented, service got poorer each day. Thus he devised a way to unlock his tattoo and use his Sun for most places in Manila, and Smart for others (mostly provincial). Here is what Patrick wrote in his facebook about unlocking your tattoo:

I am, and I have given up. I was initially happy having an own prepaid wireless connection saving me from the waiting for the internet connection in the house that I won't be able to use. Unfortunately, that excitement easily went away when Globe is only reporting to me with GPRS connection and I can only browse sites at speeds slower than dial-up speeds.

A friend of mine has been recommending Sun Broadband then but I am a bit skeptical with Sun knowing he has worked there (am I right? He he he) so it might be another marketing ploy that I get easily fooled with. On the verge of selling my Globe Broadband Tattoo kit at a cheaper (lugi) price, I researched if it's possible to unlock my Globe Tattoo modem and use another provider with it. There were some blog sites but they are full of motherhood statements saying it is possible but didn't say how. After going through links and pages, I finally found the page that allowed me to use my Globe Tattoo device with another provider. Here are the steps (based from the Globe Tattoo software):

Wow Speeds!

1) Know your device make and IMEI. The device information is found at the back of the modem or in your software, go to Tools->Diagnostics. You will see the device IMEI there.

2) Go to this site. Provide your IMEI and Huawei device model. If your device is not Huawei, stop here and browse the forums or somewhere else that can unlock your modem. Wait for minutes, hours (at most) for a reply for the unlock code for your device. People there are generous so just be patient.

3) This could be step 0 but I'll place it here. Go to a Sun Shop, buy a Sun Wireless Broadband SIM card for only 50 pesos. This is pre-loaded with 5 hours internet. Since it would be bitin, buy also a 100 Wireless Broadband Prepaid card. Specify that you're looking for the Wireless Broadband Prepaid card.

4) Insert the Sun sim card (or Smart) in the device. The device will prompt you for an unlock code. Provide the code in #2. You have 10 tries before busting the device. Luckily, I got mine at the first try.

5) Once unlocked, it is unlocked! You can now use any wireless provider aside from the despicable Globe Tattoo connection.

Of course, the signal is there but you need the settings right?

Sun Wireless Broadband

APN: minternet

Dial Number *99#

Smart Buddy

APN: internet

Dial Number *99#

With this information, I am taking the risk that many people would follow this route and at the same time flood the network of Sun. Who cares, I am happy with the service and I guess others should experience the same too. When I was in CDO, Globe is slower than Smart. Sad, I was only able to buy a Smart SIM card on my last day in CDO. I spent Php180 on Globe for a connection that hangs and I am automatically charged 5 pesos for that.

Goodbye Globe, Hello Sun and Smart!
