Short posts

Last few months, my posts are just composed of short text and images. I don't know but I have the thoughts of what to write but I do not have the condition to write it. This post is just an example of what I stated. This is a short post.

Coke Light

Maraming version ang Coke. May regular, may zero, may light at may cherry pa nga ata. Ang pinaka favorite ko sa mga yun ay ang Coke Light.

Ang lasa ng Coke Light ay tamang tama lang para sa akin. Yung tamis ay sakto lang, na may konting tabang. Kaso ako lang ata ang taong may gusto sa lasa nito. Sabi ng aking mga nakakusap, ang tabang daw. Parang walang lasa. Pero yun nga ang gusto ko dun! Di kasi ako mahilig sa masyadong matamis, kaya okay sa akin ang medyo matabang.

Kaso nga lang, hindi ata lahat ng restaurant ay nagtitinda ng Coke Light. At yung ibang restaurant pa ay expired ang natitindang Coke Light. Sa limang restaurant ata na napuntuhan ko ngayong linggo, tatlo ang may expired na Coke Light. Di ko naman sila masisisi. Talagang walang umoorder ng Coke Light kaya naiiwan lang na nakastock sa kanilang refrigerator at naeexpire.

Buti nalang, nung kumain ulit kami sa restaurant na nakitaan ko na expired na Coke Light, hindi na expired ang naibigay nila sa akin. *clap clap clap* Siguro nung sinabi ko na expired na ang Coke Light nila ay tinapon na nila yun lahat at bumili na ng bago. Tama lang.

Oo nga palaaa, alam ko ang lasa ng expired na Coke. Pero hindi pa ako nakakatikim ng expired na Coke Light. Nalalaman ko lang talaga na expired sila. Instincts kumbaga.

Kaya kung balak niyong umorder ng Coke Light, tingnan muna lagi ang expiration date sa ilalim ng lata.

Awesome desktop

I found an awesome desktop wallpaper few months ago. Unfortunately, I didn't able to download it. I checked the site again yesterday and the site is now available.

I managed to download it, and it contains a shelf wallpaper with different background colors and resolutions. Check it out.

Just arranged your icons where you want to place them in the shelf. I'm currently using the shelf with the pink background.

I also renamed my desktop icons into a blank character (Alt + 255). It's awesome, right?

If you want it too, check this Lifehacker entry.

Spicy Ice Cream?

'Nuff said. The title stated everything. Here it is...

So you will ask me how does it taste like?

Obviously, it tastes like chocolate. Every taste is chocolate, but with a twist. As you enjoy the chocolatey taste of the ice cream, sooner or later the spicy thingy will be in the after taste.

I didn't buy the ice cream, I only tried the free taste of it. I don't know what the spicy thingy feels when you eat a whole scoop.

Try it!

A bail to heat

This is a halo-halo, and this is my bail to heat.

Ultimate Solution to Tangled Earphones

I just found a solution to tangled earphones and I made a video how to do it!

1. Make a rock on sign. \m/
2. Wrap the cable through your ring and pinky finger using a figure 8.
3. When only a short cable left, wrap it in the middle of the figure 8 a few times.
4. Then insert the jack to any of the figure 8 holes.

That's it! A solution in four easy steps.

I just followed a guide from Lifehacker and my earphones is now tangled free!

Try it and keep you earphones tangled free. It is easy as ABC!

And here is a picture of my Bubble Earphones, tied and tangle free!

Heeeey! It can also use to tie other cables. :)

Conjuct!

Conjuct! is a game by Team Signum Fidei from De La Salle University. It is their entry for the Imagine Cup 2011. Watch the video demo below.

First, we did not join this year's Imagine Cup because of thesis and some lazy reasons. I like to join though but I can't tank the programming to the top.

Second, the Team Signum Fidei is from a group that is from younger batch than us. They are sophomores. Well, we created Nation Driver when we are also sophs. For me, their game prototype is cleaner compared to our first round entry last year. Based on the video demo, the transition is smooth. Their concept is simple. And playing the game is easy even without a training or instructions. It is like a puzzle tetris game.

One point to mention though, the sideline doesn't do anything. Maybe those little people at the sides can be used in a useful way rather than just animation and presentation. A suggestion, maybe they can give power ups.

Ohwell good luck!

RoboHunter HTML5 demo

I found a simple tutorial in the internet to create a HTML5 game. Go to that site here.

I was able to tweak it a little bit and add some of my touches in javascript. I also create and use a Robo Hunter character through Paint and GIMP.

The demo is also suitable to touch devices especially iOS. In iOS, it can be saved as a native app and can be use even offline!

See the demo below.

As instructed, use the space bar to jump or just touch the screen when using a touch device.

Thanks again to this tutorial.

My Sassy Amnesia Girl

I do not know when, but I love watching Asian romantic movies back then. I think it is the vacation from 4th year high school to 1st year college when I usually watch an Asian movie everyday. I started liking them when I watched "My Sassy Girl". Yes, the Korean version. I do not allot a time to watch the Hollywood remake of it.

Hmmm... "My Sassy Girl". Who do not like it? I think everyone likes that movie. It was pure awesomeness. Following it, I found out that Crunchyroll back then stream Asian movies for free. I do not know today because I do not visit it anymore. I know watch Asian movies through YouTube or MySoju.

I watched plenty of Asian movies in Crunchyroll. To note some:

1. My Sassy Girl
2. Heavenly Forest
3. Secret
4. Virgin Snow
5. Windstruck
6. and others...

I do not remember the title of some but those above are my favorite listed in order (I think). I also remember that I manage to watch "My Sassy Girl" more than three times. QTV once aired a Filipino dubbed "My Sassy Girl" and I still like it with Jimmy Bondoc singing the Filipino version of "I Believe".

Last week, I again watched an Asian movie with the title of "A Crazy Little Thing called Love". It is a nice movie and worth watching. You can watch it in YouTube if you want, just watch the trailer first.

Filipino movies are also Asian movies right? But Filipino movies tend to be repetitive. Boy meets girl, conflict in the middle and still be in love at the end. There are instances that the girl is the best friend of the boy but will still be them at the end.

A unique Filipino movie that I watched is "My Amnesia Girl". It has a great storyline and a must watch movie. I like "My Amnesia Girl" than "One More Chance" though.

Yes, I am a fan of romantic movies. And I like them more than any other movies.

Snake through HTML5

Oh well, I do not have anything to say but I just created a Snake game using HTML5.

I based my code in this tutorial. Thanks for it!

To note one, it can also be use in an iPhone or an iPod touch. You can visit the original site here.

A paper worth 20 pesos

It is December 22, 2010 then when I first received the new 20 peso bill that President Noynoy is so proud of. I can say that I like the design. It has a fresh new look. And it looks like this...

Yes, that's it.

Manuel Quezon looks so young in the bill and if his name is not indicated, I will think that he is an actor from ABS-CBN. Maybe Coco Martin? Hahaha!

Compared to the older bills, or the bills in other country, the paper that is used felt like an ordinary paper. It felt like a bond paper with a substance of less than 20 I think. Hahaha! That is the reason why the blog title is like that.

Also, using my powerful eyes, I noticed that there are no period in the above bill. I do not know why but even middle initials and "Jr" do not have a period beside.

Lastly, rice terraces and a palm civet can be seen at the back of the bill.

I tried to sell the bill to my sister for 100 pesos but she doesn't bite. OH WELL!

Si Son Goku at ang aking kabataan.

Ewan ko kung sadya talaga or coincidence lang, pero sa first class namin kanina ay napag usapan ang mga nilalaro namin nung bata pa kami.

Unang nabanggit ang larong Jack and Jill, hindi ko ito nalaro pero madali ko lang itong natutunan kanina. Para lang siyang Nanay Tatay na mas madaling version.

Naaalala ko pa noong nag lalaro kami ng Nanay Tatay noong bata pa kami. Hirap akong laruin ito dahil hindi ko mabilang ang aking palakpak.

"Nanay Tatay, gusto kong tinapay.

Ate Kuya, gusto kong kape.

Lahat ng gusto ko ay susundin niyo.

Ang mag kamali ay pipingutin ko..."

Isa pang larong napag usapan kanina ay ang Charge Shield. Ito ay isa sa mga paborito kong laurin noong bata pa ako, pero kanina ko lang nalaman na may Reflect pala. =)) Kung saan ang kalaban ang matatamaan ng sarili niyang tira, worth one charge ang skill daw na ito :|

Pati ang Chimpoy Champoy na laro ay napag usapan din. Ito ay parang variation ng Jack En Poy ngunit may kasabay na kanta at pag katapos na tira ay may katumbas na aksyon. Kapag ikaw ay panalo, mag sasabi ka ng BEH BEH!. Kapag ikaw naman ay talo mag sasabi ka ng AMEN! At kapag naman tabla ang kinalabasan, mag sasabi kayo parehas ng OINK OINK!

Namention din ang mga larong tulad ng Piko at Chinese Garter.

Natigil lang ang usapan namin nang dumating ang aming teacher. Akala ko ay tapos na ang usapan, ngunit nag patuloy ito habang kami ay kumakain ng lunch.

Dito ay napag usapan naman ang mga laro tulad ng Langit Lupa, Ice Ice Water, Agawan Base, Patintero, at iba pa. Napag usapan din namin ang mga laruan noon tulad ng Turumpo, pati ang mas high tech version nito na Bey Blade, nabanggit din naman ang Yugi-Oh cards, Tex at Pogs na kung ano anong picture ng anime ang nakalagay, pati ang Crush Gear at mga Tamiya race cars.

Hindi parin pala dun nag tatapos ang lahat. Pagkabukas ko ng aking Facebook account sa bahay, nakita ko na ang karamihan ng profile picture ng aking mga Facebook friends ay mga cartoons o anime noon. Nakita ko sila Voltes V, Card Captor Sakura, Charmander, Vincent, Alfred, at napakarami pang ibang karakter noong kabataan ko.

Natuwa ako kaya pinalitan ko ng Son Goku ang aking profile picture.

Pagkatapos non, ay nakipag palitan ako ng wall post sa aking kaibigan na para bang nag lalaban si Son Goku at si Voltes V. Pinagdedebatihan namin kung sino ba sa kanila ang mas malakas.

Basahin niyo mula sa ilalim.

At sa huli, sumuko din siya. Talagang mas malakas si Son Goku kay Voltes V. =))

Magkaribal. Ano nga ba ang nangyari?

Natapos noong Friday ang isa sa mga palabas sa ABS-CBN, ang Magkaribal. At kahit patapos na ito, ay nag iwan pa ng isa sa mga pinakamalaking misteryo sa larangan ng Philippine television. Nagtapos ito ng may mala-Inception na ending. Ano nga ba ang nangyari? Namatay nga ba si Gelai?

Hindi ko ito masyadong nasubaybayan, pero alam ko ang storya. Napanood ko ang simula nito at alam ko kung paano nagkahiwalay ang magkapatid. Si Gelai na ginaganapan ni Bea Alonzo at napunta sa mahirap na pamilya habang si Victoria o si Gretchen Barretto sa totoong buhay ay napunta naman kay Papang.

Mababasa ang buong kwento sa Wikipedia link na ito.

Hindi ko rin masyadong natutukan ang pag tatapos nito, pero napanood ko ang part kung saan pinatawad na nila si Vera at nagiiyakan na, classic Filipino shows. Umakyat si Vera sa stage at naglakad sila papuntang backstage. Bumagsak ang chandelier sa taas nila at di na nalaman kung ano ang nangyari pa.

Bago matapos, pinakita muna ang mga nangyari sa cast. Natapos ito sa dalawang bata na nangangarap tulad sa simula ng palabas. Sinundo sila ni Victoria at pinakita ang isang billboard kung saan nandun ang malaking picture ni Gelai.

Pinakita ang lahat ng cast maliban kay Gelai. Kaya ano nga ba ang nangyari sa kanya? Namatay ba siya?

Para sa akin, ang sagot jan ay hindi. Hindi siya namatay. Simple lang, paano siya magkakaroon ng billboard kung patay na siya? Hindi naman nila siguro gagawing endorser ang patay na.

Pero hindi rin ako sigurado jan. Baka nga. Abangan nalang natin sa book 2, kung meron man.

Basta ngayon, ang sagot sa totoong nangyari kay Gelai ay mananatili paring misteryo.

Firework.

New year is near. We might see fireworks everywhere in just few months. But before we see our first pre-new year fireworks, Katy Perry launched a firework of her own. And that firework I'm talking about shoots out from her boobs. How cool is that!

She did it in her newest music video. Firework is a good song, but the music video is definitely a must to watch. See the video here...

Firework is a song that will boost your confidence.

"'Cause baby you're a firework

Come on, show 'em what you're worth

Make 'em go, oh

As you shoot across the sky"

For me the song tells you that you must do what you need to do and show them what you got. It is like the Nike's "Just do it."

Katy Perry in the video of Firework

And by the way, Katy Perry's purple highlights is love ♥.

Twisting like a twister fries

Twister Fries of McDonalds exists again. I don't know how many times it comes back and forth in the tables but McDonalds are again selling Twister Fries.

So Twister Fries is back in action, and my friends are like craving for it. I did not know why and I am curious to know why. So that curiosity leads me to try it. I bought a regular meal in McDo plus that 58 pesos Twister Fries.

It was my first time to try Twister Fries and it tastes like KFC fries with a twist. Yes, literally with twist because it is Twister Fries. It has the same color like those in KFC but it is so curly. And it is a little bit salty than those original fries that McDonalds sell, I think.

"Twister Fries - ang nagpakulot na french fries."

Hindi ko ito naubos dahil nag sawa ako, ang dami eh.

I do not have much to say about this fries. I did not say that I don't like it, but I'm just not a fan of french fries.

Try it and judge that taste of it. Is it really worth craving for?

GET TWISTED AGAIN! Twister Fries.

Globe's new balance inquiry

The balance inquiry of Globe is the same I think since I started using a celphone.

Before, you must call the number 222 to know your load balance. Then, it was simplified to just texting the number with any content you want. Most of the users text "bal" and send it.

After I changed phone last year (see my blog about it here), I do not text 222 anymore. I just go to the Globe services in my phone then choose Prepaid Services and Balance Inquiry. It will automatically send a message to 222 requesting for my load balance. It never fails.

A while ago, I requested for my load balance and received a slightly different balance message. It was better. See it below.

This picture was taken from my iPod Touch 4G. :D

The new balance inquiry message still contains the current date and time, and of course your load and free texts. But the latest addition is the load's date of expiry.

For me, it was a great add on because I oftenly left my load to expire. I do not have that much to text.

My friends said that balance inquiry of Smart is much better. They said that it provides more about their load and other necessary information. Fortunately, Globe made a move about it. They might not be the best yet, but they are better now.

Despicable Me!! Funny at start and till the last drop.

What a good way to end this hell of a term. We (Me, Excel, Kenneth, Gwenie, Pau, and Shiela) watched Despicable Me at Mall of MOA and it is such a nice experience. We watched it in 3d and it is worth it.

The movie is funny at start and if you expect, like any comedy movie, that the fun will lessen as the story continues, you're wrong. Despicable Me is no ordinary comedy movie, the fun will increase as it goes on and on. You will still laugh even during the credits. And I think, that credits scene is one of the funniest scene in the movie.

All hail to the Minions!!

The Minions are so cute and they speak like this...

Minions: abugiuhlnagekjbeyaeBAAABOOOOOOY!

They remind us of those little green aliens in Toy Story, but yellow.

And of course, the cutest of them all... Agnes... Her cuteness never fails, and it does not count as annoying!

Watch Despicable Me!! It is worth watching.

Funny at start and till the last drop!

And it has a sequel!

Japanese Ginger for the pers taym

Ang araw na ito ay puno ng pers taym. Pers taym ko matulog sa isang condo. Pers taym ko magturo sa mga frosh. Pers taym kong kumain sa Teriyaki Boy. Pers taym kong kumain ng ramen. At pers taym kong makakain ng Japanese Ginger.

Unang akala ko ito ay isang raw meat. Tapos tinanong ko kay Ian, at ang sabi niya ay raw fish daw 'to. Kinonfirm naman ni Excel. Oo, isda yan.

Syempre, maniniwala ako. Pero paulit ulit kong tinikman at sa aking panlasa ay hindi talaga siya isda. May pag kamalutong pa. Kaya naman pinatikim ko sa kanila. :| HINDI NGA DAW ISDA. Ito daw ay isang Japanese Ginger. Hindi nila nagustuhan ang lasa. Niluwa pa nga ni Ian ang sinubo niya eh.

Grabe, ang kinain ko ay hindi pala ang pagkain na inaakala ko.

OH WELL. Ganyan talaga, there is always room for first time.

Immortal text or Immortal call?

When Globe announced Immortal text last year I immediately subscribe to it. It was a blessing for me. I also made a blog entry comparing it to other Globe promos.

Back in those days, Immortal text subscription only worth 10 pesos. And you will eventually have a 50 Globe-Globe text and 10 free texts to other networks in an unlimited time. VERY GOOD PROMO!

But too bad, Globe realized that it was so loved by their subscribers that they stop it. Ironic isn't it? The so immortal Immortal10 is now extinct. Still, the Immortal name did not leave us without any souvenir, there is Immortal15. 50 Globe-Globe text and 5 minute Globe-Globe call.

It was a decent replacement for Immortal10. But unlike it, I still need to keep some extra load for other networks.

Few days have passed. And another Immortal advertisement was shown in TV. Immortal20 it is. It offers 75 Globe-Globe text and 10 free texts to other networks. It is 10 pesos much than the extinct Immortal10, but is it worth a subscription?

The first time I heard this promo, I did not subscribe immediately. I still stick to Immortal15. I do not text other networks after all.

But now, I received messages from various networks, from Smart, from Sun. I needed to reply from those texts that I subscribed to Immortal20. And I realized that my 20 pesos did not go to waste at all.

So currently, as far as I know, there are two Immortal promos exist. But what is better? Immortal15 or Immortal2o?

For me, I use both at the same time. I can text other networks without thinking about my load. And I can call Globe subscribers any time I want. It is such a convenience for me. I also immediately subscribe to both promos as soon as I got my load.

Also, my no. 1 load problem in the past is not a problem anymore. Because Immortal promo is "The first with no expiry".
