The Joy and Shame of it all…

Been back to busy life again… ahh well… I still haven’t reach level 40 of my WoW character and I know K will really slap me for not reaching level 70 when WotLK is about to arrive this November >_<
The cable tv at home is not working, [sarcastic]thank you Skycable![/sarcastic]
My computer loan for an LCD screen has just been approved... after 2 freaking months of waiting, sheesh!

Now I'm really excited with the new phone Nokia released last October 2. The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic Touchscreen “Tube”. I was thinking of getting an Iphone but the price is freakishly steep for my wallet, then Nokia brought this into the light, oh happy days! Its pretty much within my budget of 20-30k price tag in Php. Now just have to wait till christmas for this thing to arrive here and I’m all set.

TGS (Tokyo Game Show) just started in Japan and to my surprise Tekken 6: BR was also featured there. To me freaking horror, its going to be release in Fall of 2009 not as a PS3 exclusive but as a multiplatform to XBox360!!! ARGH!!!! First Devil May Cry, then Final Fantasy, now Tekken??? What next? Grand Tourismo??? Im just gonna sulk for a while why this is happening all within the year… *sigh*

Geeky New Year

What a month and what a new year…

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!).

e51

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.

One Dead Phone… (>_<)

A few days before Christmas and lots of things to do.. lots of calls and text messages to send, a lot of activities to plan and set… and what happens?! My phone dies out on me four days before Christmas!! I was crippled for the whole four day weekend!! So now you know why I wasn’t able to reply to some of your messages. Luckily I was able to borrow a spare phone… but 150+ contacts ALL GONE!! ARGH!!! (X___x)

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 Continue reading

To Wii or Not To Wii

So what’s next after getting my overclocked gaming PC… To Wii or to PS3??

I have been constantly thinking if I should get a Wii or a PS3 or even BOTH! For sure I’ll be getting a PS3 for Tekken 6, Final Fantasy XIII and the PS3 Home ( It’s like an online Sims )… Xbox 360… Oh please! PASS! >:)

One think I like about Wii is its interactivity, especially the Wiimote ( I think that’s what its called ). I really like to try the Wii sports, especially bowling and golf! I need the exercise haha! Though the question is will my family enjoy it? Of course PS3 I will enjoy it the most, but the Wii.. will they be patient enough to learn? Well my youngest sister will enjoy it.. my mom… hmmm, dad… uhhh…. ( You get the idea… )

Now, I went to visit Super Smash Bro. website and I was very hesitant at first if I should buy Wii for this. Now… they included Sonic into the lineup, I’m even more interested in buying the Wii this christmas!! Current cost.. more or less 18k X_x

Update: OMG! Just found out it now costs 21k!!! SH*T!!

PSP – SSH for my PSP

PSP-SSH ( PlayStation Portable – Secure SHell ) will definitely be a useful tool when I’m away from my PC. Not only can I now connect to my dad’s office server away from my PC, its even cooler that I’m using my PSP to connect to it. +1 for the PSP Homebrew community and another reason for me to leave my laptop at home :P Now if only I can get a IR keyboard. Yup, it has support for IR keyboard from palm to pocket PCs.

PSP-SSH
Homebrew application can be found here.

Now where do I get me one of those keyboards… ;)

(11/19/07) Edit: New version 1.0.9.
