I lost my DSL connection last week so I borrowed my father's Globe tattoo sonic  which Globe has recently launched along with tattoo 4G flash. In hopes of achieving the promised  speed of of 7.2 Mbps (DL) when connected to the HSPA+ network, I tried this one for 5 consecutive days using the free 120 surfing hours. The first couple of days of using this, I typically achieve an average speed of 36kb.  The connection was soooooo slow and extremely unreliable. I tried different settings to get it to work, to no avail it was a total crap that I had to throw it away. Globe shouldn't market and sell this broadband in areas where they know it won't work. It's absolutely atrocious.  So frustrating.  I have nothing positive to say about Tattoo Sonic. :( Globe if you are reading this, I am truly disappointed with the Tattoo Sonic :( Just a waste of money and time.

Who says Karaoke doesn't have its place in the WorldWideWeb? It's one of those things that you thought was a big joke until you realize the cold seriousness. Yes, we are talking about the online karaoke which takes the merry tradition of singing in the cyber realm. Why not? Well for me, it's a bit "awkward" ( not the right term to describe it), I prefer the old way, with the big sound box? I don't even know what to call it *laughs* Excuse my ignorance. Silly me. My sister argued "what difference would it make?" ughhh. I beg to disagree. This may be considered another triumph for those who shunned the world of karaoke just because they don't want their cracking voice be heard by passers by unless of course they'll record and share the song for everyone to see and hear. We are indeed living in a diasporic age where technology is changing the spectrum of our everyday life. Forgive me for my cynicism. Anyway, here's the link  http://www.risingstars.ph/. This new interactive platform is actually Filipino-owned, so might expect a massive list of OPM songs for your convenience . Hope you'll enjoy singing like my sister does!

Rocket Plug-It Smartbro offers arguably the fastest mobile internet access here in the Philippines. Hmmm. I'm planning to buy one at a one-time fee of  P3,995. Spending most of time in school without any internet access can be quite a hassle. Our school is not too generous to share with us students their internet access. Now, I found a viable solution for my dilemma.  Most usb modems out there  would take you years to browse the internet.  :( I believe this one has a decent speed. Sporting a 12-mbps speed - it's by far the fastest in mobile prepaid broadband in the Philippines. It's what Smart Philippines claims it to be, and I hope they will not disappoint me :D I can now browse the internet, check my Facebook and twitter account at lightning speeed, everywhere! 

After weeks of seemingly unending quizzes, I am finally back with a huge smile plastered on my face! haha. So happy  I got high scores in my quizzes. Never thought I could get high grades with those nerve-wracking exams. On top of that, I got the highest grade in our batch. If you really believe in yourself, nothing is impossible. Everything's within your reach! Too much for the bragging! 

Got our canon iP2770 printer converted to CISS today.  Finally my mom bought the idea of converting our printer to CISS.  Sorry Canon :( It's better this way. The ink is way cheaper than the genuine one, plus the ink lasts long too. It took only 1 hour to convert the printer to a CISS. Been printing handouts this last two hours! D So far,  I'm very impressed with the quality. Now, if you're still considering if you should convert to CISS or not, I suggest you do. It will save you a lot of money. Bigger savings means , more money to spend to other things 

I just had my free Ramadan Kareem theme for my Nokia C3 white phone from http://www.themereflex.com.  I love the  perfect combination of subtle green  and white,  and the homescreen icons standing great in contrast against the light background, which makes this an awesome theme. Advance Happy Ramadan to all my Muslim Brothers and Sisters!

Another sluggish and lame afternoon. I was on my laptop while eating some fried sweet potatoes. Just got my FB status updated . Listening to this heart and gut-wrenching song over the radio, I've driven myself and sister nuts with my painful attempts at hitting the high notes. The mere fact that I was able to hit the right note once was like a pinch from the heavens. Brushing that all aside, in the middle of my habitual multi-tasking, I found this application Last Night Never Happened . It's a new app for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users that promises to erase last night's activity shameful twitter and Facebook posts while you're drunk. This app is a saving grace for those who got carried away and ending up posting embarrassing tweets and posts. I don't find the application useful for me since I don't drink and I don't have an iPhone :D hahaaha. But I would be much happier if it could erase  last night's real time activity. Kiddin. *winks*
