byePhone

It’s been more than a week since my last post. Sorry guys, si “Glenda” kasi eh. Sa sobrang lakas ng arrive nya ang mga electric lines nagsitumbahan, pati ang phone at internet connection affected. At naging dahilan ng isang linggong rotating brownouts plus no-internet service sa bahay. Nakakalurkey at nakaka-imbey!

You know what? Exciting din during that time na nagparamdam si "Glenda" kasi nawala ang phone ko. Bongga, right?! May pasok ako bago nun at di pa naman kasi ganun kalakas ang ulan at hangin nung time na yun that’s why I decided na umuwi agad. So heto na nga, umaga na nun e kasi I’m working on a night shift and since sa South Luzon ang birada ng bagyo, wala na palang bumibyahe sa lugar namin. Nalurkey ketch! Pero sa awa naman ng Diyos, sa konting paghihintay e may dumaang pick-up-like truck at mabuti na lang kamo at mabait si kuya driver at nagpa-hitch sya saming mga stranded people (nang mga oras na to, alam ko hawak ko pa phone ko kasi tumawag pa ko sa pinsan ko kasi magpapasundo sana ko pero nakasakay na ko e so pinaalam ko na lang na pauwi na ko). Kaso sa sobrang excitement kong makauwi at sa takot na liparin ng malakas na hangin, pagbaba ko ng sasakyan e nagtatatakbo na ko papasok sa subdivision namin. And as soon as I got home, I suddenly thought of my phone kasi gusto ko sanang makausap ang partner ko to let him know that I’m safe home. Tas dun ko na na-realize na wala na si nyelpon! I panicked with matching mixed emotions kasi parang soulmate ko na din ang phone ko gawa ng andun lahat ng contacts ko and some memorable stuff. Di mamahalin ang phone ko pero may sentimental value sakin yun pati yung phone number ko, matagal ko na ding number yun ha.

I tried to go back to where I passed by until sa kanto kung san ako bumaba ng truck but unfortunately, di ko na nakita ang phone ko. I then thought of ringing my number with the help of my neighbors kaso nagring lang twice tapos di na ma-reach. So I thought of texting my number, just in case mabait yung nakadampot at mabasa yung message, kaso walangya amputah! Naningil at parang utang na loob ko pa na napulot nya ang phone ko. Sakin naman, walang problemang magbigay sa kanya as a reward but for him/her to initiate and demand 800PHP is something na no-no para sakin! Panggigipit yung ginawa nya, alam nya kasi na eager akong mabawi yung phone ko kaya nanamantala si walangya! E wala pa naman akong extra para ibigay yung gusto nya, so pinabayaan ko na lang.

Although it was hard to do, I tried my very best to move on. Yun oh! HAHAHA! Ginamit ko muna yung basic phone na pakalat-kalat sa bahay then I bought a new SIM card pero until now di ko pa din matanggap yung new number ko. HEHEHE! Di pa din kasi ako sanay e. Pero syempre, I don’t want to dwell on that issue since madami pang bagay na dapat pagtuunan ng pansin, yung mas mahalaga. Kaya move on-move on din pag may time. HAHAHA!


E kayo, how were you peeps? I mean, nung kasagsagan ng bagyo, I hope ok lang kayo. Stay safe guys ha!

A Bit Surprised



** this post was taken from my old blog-site **



A Bit Surprised, because I got this email from Google that my email address was associated with an un-migrated legacy Blogger account, which really made me a bit surprised. So I went to check the link that was provided and completely disregard what unmigrated really means or if there's really a term like that, but then, Voila! I found out that creating your own blog-page under Blogger is totally free. Darn! That's a very good news (well, for me, of course, since I'm a first-timer.) and that's where it all started.

Sorry! I may sound naive with this but I'm pretty much excited to create my FIRST EVER POST. Y'know! Letting the world know about your own thoughts, about everything & anything under the sun or that occurs around you, your opinion about this & that, etc. I guess that's what I want this blog to be. SIGH!



At first, I'm thinking of how I will make this blog different from the rest, but nah, that may take a lot of work, time, and effort, right? And besides, I'm doing this to see my potential in writing, for short, maka-blog lang!. HAHAHA!



And before I end this post, I want to leave you guys with a delicious treat that I'm missing so much,

a delish snapshot from visitpinas.com


Sinigang na Hipon version of my ever-dearest mother. I'll be able to taste it again, real soon pag sumweldo na! Yum! Yum! Yum!

Complimentary


Hey there, peeps!

How was your week so far? Ako, mukhang masyadong naaliw sa bagong gadget na dumating sa buhay ko. As you all know friends, I’m a gadget-freak. Every time na may chance na makahiram o makahawak ako ng gadget na meron ang mga friends ko, I'll try to explore it and get familiarized with it. Paraan na din yun para malaman ko kung ano yung suitable at favorable sa kin. Which could make me get discouraged na bumili, uunahin ko na muna siguro ang pagkain no!? HAHAHA!

Going back dun sa gadget, it’s actually a tablet that came from our phone service provider, complimentary “for being a loyal customer” daw. But of course, there’s a catch to this, kailangan ko daw manatiling “loyal customer” for the next three years, wala namang nabanggit kung may consequence, though. HAHAHA! According din sa agent na tumawag e may additional freebie pa daw which is an upgrade with the connection speed nung DSL but until now I’m still getting the same connection speed. Mukhang inuto lang nila ko, on that part. Ano yun, joke?! Pero lubha ko pa ding inaasahan ang naturang upgrade na yan. So, ang gagawin ko, kukulitin ko sila ng kukulitin para ibigay nila yung inalok nila. HEHEHE!

Eto na nga, PLDT Home Telpad QS ang model nung tablet but it’s under the license of and manufactured by Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd. Although Huawei is technically from China, sigurado ka naman na hindi basta basta yung mga products nila when it comes to gadgets and technology. Not our usual expectation na basta "Made in China" fake or imitated yung product, it's really a no-no. And that’s already tested and proven over the years since 1992 where they had their first breakthrough in telecommunications market but the company started in 1987.

You can check Wikipedia for further details about Huawei, or simply click this.

For the specs of this tablet, just click here.

The one on left is my very first tablet that has an Android Eclair platform,
while the other one is (obviously) the freebie.
