Well… there it is.. I’m a complete mess and about to go over the edge and have a complete nervous breakdown…. (X__x)!!

P.S.: K, now I know how you felt a few months ago!! XD

The 3 days event held in the Temple was really an eye opening event for me and the attendees. Not only did we meet new friends but also get to see old familiar faces. Attendees came from Manila, Bacolod, Ilo-ilo and special guest from Siddhartha cast.

The first day was really amazing, we had a small Amazing race in Cebu City. We started from the temple, went to Fuente Rotunda, then to Magellan’s Cross in the city proper. Weird thing, I also had the chance to learn how to make “Puso”, hahahaha.

Overall.. I enjoyed the whole event. It was something different. I didn’t feel the competitiveness that usually comes when an activity like this is held every year. Now, everyone is enjoying the event and felt more of a family.

Next year will be in Manila and I hope I will be able to join this event.. unless I ran out of vacation leaves to use…

Location is in Ayala Timezone (Main Branch)
Cost: 20 non-vip, 18 VIP

Oh how long I have been waiting for this to arrive!! =D
My wallet is already screaming but what the heck!!

*pics to come*

Edit: Seems like I lost the cables for my phone, I can’t transfer the images. Taking the tiny SD MICRO from my phone is a pain in the butt.

I started craving for the old games I played when I was young, especially Mario! Simple games that were fun and enjoyable, unlike the console we are using now that would have been used in a research lab looking for the cure of AIDS or HIV or what-not 15 years ago…

Went around the inter-web, googling for emulators and ROMS to play those old games. What luck that I happen to find a site the offered A LOT of those old school games from SNES. I was in heaven!! Mario! Megaman 1 - 6! Island Adventure 1-2! Ice Climber!! BATTLE CITY!!

What’s better than this? I don’t need to download any emulator to run the games! It runs off an emulated SNES off java applet! Thank You JAVA!!

If your an “old-schooler”, you should visit vnes. You wont regret it!

Personal Favorites:
1. Super Mario Brothers
2. Battle City
3. Wrecking Crew
4. Elevator Action
5. Ice Climber
6. Megaman Series
7. Island Adventure
8. Mappy

Starcraft 2 was announced in late 2007… every fan went ballistic!!

And now…. EA just announced Red Alert 3!!!

The same 2 faction, Allied and Soviet, plus a new 3rd faction is to be included!!

I’m very excited!!! My gaming system at home is ready and waiting ^__^

*RTS = Real Time Strategy

Remember my phone that died out on me last December? Got it fixed last December, minus the 3 1/2 years worth of contacts and messages saved in the phone’s memory. X_x Though, it may have been a ‘mix’ blessing in disguise, mix in a sense I have to shell out a few more thousand cold hard cash to purchase a new phone. Hahaha! ah well, though the new phone is also what I really wanted. A new Nokia E51 business phone… the price was not even that high! Would have picked the Ericsson K850 but the price tag was too much, 20k+ (ouch!).

Now to the specs… “candy bar” style, silver color scheme, aluminum frame and casing, 130mb build-in phone memory, expandable to 4gig ( 512mb was included though, not bad ), 3g hspda ready, 2mp camera, pdf reader, mp3 player, radio station tuner, doc and excel reader, personal assistant, sms reading software (reads your text messages loudly) and the best of all.. Wifi ready!!

Now I also got a few gadgets that will go nicely with the new gaming system at home.

A new Logitech G7 gaming mouse!! Response time is superb! No delays whatsoever, unless you can detect a few millisecond. It came with 2 hot-swap batteries, use one while the other is charging.

Another Logitech toy, a Logitech LX710 Wireless Keyboard… The design is simple and slick with the build-in palm rest, I have nothing but praises for this keyboard! Wireless and LOTS of programmable buttons and short-cut keys!! Key-press delays are minimal to nonexistent… well considering also I’m slow at typing. I’m already typing this blog using the keyboard on my lap. =D

Note: These were three different purchases, at three different dates since my cash reserves would not allow the purchase of three items at the same time =9

For my other hobby… a Revoltech Fraulein Rei Ayanami figure, articulation is great and the painting is even not half bad considering the size of this toy!

Still waiting for the Shuraki Box 1 Akatsuki to arrive but I can wait while playing with my new gadgets ^_^

Also acquired a new watch, a ThinkGeek 2gig flash-drive/watch =) Not bad at all… though the strap is kinda long. Makes me think this was made for Americans =p

A costly New Year… but I’m Happy! =p~

Now to upgrade the other sites I manage….*sigh*

Edit: I forgot to mention that the upgrade would not have been possible if not for the plugin made by Thomas. Thanks Thomas!

Amor, wishing you all the luck in the world and more! Break a leg and go to the top!

The phone was with Nokia Care Center the whole weekend and found out today that the phone OS crashed. Yah, I know that part… White Screen of Death for nokia phone is the answer. Seems like that this is known problem for symbian phones like Ngage, this happens when the phone memory is filled to capacity and the phone OS can’t find any space to initialize the phone at startup. I know for a fact if there is memory, eventhough without turning the phone, you can access it using some special tool or mod (a la MMC card). But they wont because of privacy issues and virus issues. Only possible fix? Flash the phone and reset to factory settings! *Sigh* What a waste of technology… tsk tsk tsk…

The Nokia Center staff also said that there is a BIG chance that flashing the phone may even BRICK it and render the phone useless! Well my phone’s almost screwed… unless its properly flashed and I still have the mood to use it. 3 1/2 years of use with no problems then this happens… maybe its a sign that I need a new phone. =p

The K850i, Nokia E51 and iPhone looks promising but still, my Ngage may still be resurrected from the dead. =)

Any suggestions? iPhone will have to wait.. costs to much, which leaves me with Ericsson K850i and Nokia E51…
