Bakasyunan Resort, Tanay Rizal

We had an overnight stay in Bakasyunan Resort in Tanay Rizal. Its about 1.5-2 hours drive from Ortigas Ave. Tanay Rizal is still rural so you will not have any other place to eat. So better eat inside the resort. We got a romantic package. Simple overnight stay in a NEW room is 2500php. There are room for 6, 5000php, and good for 10, 10,000php. There are plenty things to do inside the resort. Swim, play billiards, sing videoke, and some other outdoor activities. Here are some pictures. Enjoy.

Here is a pic of our room

If I was a Senator

If I was a Senator, and I saw that the bank account of CJ Corona contained 19 Million and owns 5-6 houses/condos and his SALN DO NOT REFLECT these, then he is hiding something. Guilty as charge.

That is if I was a Senator.

Metro (Garbage) Deal!

Got a deal from Metro Deal for a cruise dinner for 250php per person (545 original) . It was supposed to be an eat all you can dinner. When I called to reserve, they told me that its no longer eat all you can buffet but became plated dinner instead. So I said ok as if I had a choice. I expected plated dinner, with soup, salad, main course and dessert. But was greeted with soup and their so called plated dinner. Everything in one plate!
The cruise was okay. It was windy and the sights were decent (youll se the lights from MOA). But the dinner part was terrible to say the least.
Lesson: METRO DEAL SUCK BIG TIME. I think its their responsibility to check the pictures of their ads and to make sure thats what people get. The picture when I got the deal was a picture of a eat all you can dinner with nice tables with wine. What i got was one plate dinner with cold soup and plastic tables and chairs!
Here are some pictures, see for yourself!

 Went with the wife, braeden and yaya.

 The so called plated dinner that i did not bother to finish. Yuck!

 The ugly bar of the ship.

Jozu Kin

Ate in Jozu Kin in Ronac Art Center for dinner. All the food we ordered were good but our Kamameshi Rice was a disappointment. We have eaten this before and it was always good. This time it was sticky and sour. Nagkamali lang siguro ng luto ang chef.

Bike ni Bajamjam and Nikki

Bought 2 bikes. One for Braeden, and one for Nikki. Para walang inggitan!

MOA Eye

We went on to ride the Eye ferris wheel in MOA. It costs 150 per person. Minimum of 4 (means if you are 2, you must share a booth with strangers. Weird.) and max of 6 per carriage. Whole ride is about 10mins. So thats 15 pesos per minute!

Here are some pics.



Aircon unit for each carriage!

Girl with a Dragon Tattoo (Film 2011)

Just finished watching the american version of the movie Girl with a Dragon Tattoo.

Im no movie crtitc but I liked the screen adaptation. Ive read the book, all three of them and I say that the movie was as good as the first book. I'll be waiting for parts 2 and 3.

I would like to watch the swedish version of the movie just to compare.

From reading wikipedia entries for both movies, it stated that both lead actresses did a pretty good job of being Salander. Id like to judge that for myself.

3.5 out of 4.

P. S. Someone just slept for about 5-10mins during the start of the movie so that meant the movie was interesting enough. :)

Emergency Charger for Galaxy Tab 7

Here is a pic of my emergency charger setup for my galaxy tab 7.

1) usb charger that uses only AA rechargeable batteries.
2) galaxy tab usb adaptor that can charge a tab from any usb socket.
3) usb to galaxy port (came with the galaxy tab 7)
4) not seen, two AA 2500MaH inside number 1)

The setup costs me around 7 USD not including the AA rechargeable batteries. But it can be bought anywhere and are cheap.

How can waiting in the airport for 3 hours less fun than taking a ship and travelling for a whole day?

Update on my galaxy tab 7

Well, finally I had the courage to try to install a custom firmware on my galaxy tab 7. I just followed the instructions on overcome website and tada, Im rocking a new custom rom on my tab. You see the official gingerbread update is only up to 2.3.3. But thanks to Overcome, my tab is running on 2.3.6 (see pic)



The best part of the custm rom you might ask? Well its the improved battery life. Now I can use my tab for one whole day (18-19 hours with moderate use).

Bagyong Pedring

Another strong typhoon another disaster. Ganon nalang ba parati? Ano ba talaga ang problema natin? No doubt, nagimprove naman na ang PAGASA. I give them that. But how about the other agencies and local government units?

Many local government units told the media that they informed their citizenship about the impending rise in flood waters. And they told the media that these people refused evacuation. The question is why? Maybe because they don't believe in PAGASA. I for one don't believe ANY of their predictions because they were extremely unreliable. And some of them answered that they don't want to leave their houses because they are afraid of thievery. Who can blame them? If their untrusted neighbor isn't evacuating why would they?

I think we can enforce some tactics for all these people to evacuate (with force). One, we should evacuate all of them and cordon out the place to minimize thievery. If there's no one left, who would steal right? Also, we should also tell people that IF they don't go to evacuation centers, then they will NOT receive ANY relief goods. I know this sounds like inhumane but if these people know they they won't get goods if they stayed AND won't lose things to thieves I'm sure they will go to centers.

Lastly, I know that these floodings are in part due to climate change but I don't believe that that's the only cause. One. DAM! Don't BS us that it was not to blame for the floodings in Pampanga, Bulacan and Nueva Ecija. Don't tell us that these Dams did not even contribute a single cubic meters of water to the floods! Even our Dam administrators don't believe PAGASA! Two, dredge the rivers already! If our river beds are equal or higher than the towns and rice fields, then where do we expect these water to go?

In short, this tradegy boils down to distrust. We distrust PAGASA. We distrust our local politicians. We distrust our neighbors. Who to blame now? Only ourselves.

It's time to build a new national social awareness.

How to Root your Samsung Galaxy Tab 7inch (gingerbread 2.3.3)

Why root? So you can better control your phone. You can make backups of your ROM and install 3rd party apps such as Titanium backup and Market Enabler.

If your having a hard time rooting your galaxy tab just follow these steps:

HERE

Download all necessary files. Its all in there. If you have used kies, dont download samsung usb driver anymore.

How to put your galaxy tab in download mode? Easy turn it off. Turn it on while holding the DOWN VOLUME BUTTON.

Good luck and dont blame me if you get it wrong!

Google Maps offline mode on Anroid!

My galaxy tab 7" just got a tad more useful. Navigation on Google Maps on offline mode (which means that I dont use data hence no charges) is now available!

Here is a brief tutorial on how you can make it work on your phone. My galaxy tab is on gingerbread (2.3.3) but as long as you have google maps version 5.7.0 this will work for you.... again as long as your phone has GPS.

1) turn on Maps on your phone or tablet

2) search for a place you want to go to. say its subic, for a brief r&r. lets search for subic yatch club.

3)click on Subic Yatch Club icon, press menu on your phone and choose Download map area



4) it will save 10miles around subic yatch club.

5) you are done! now you can just turn on GPS and you will see yourself on the map even without a data connection! Cool isnt it?! As you can see from the screen capture, I dont have wifi on yet i have the subic map!



PS. its a good idea to add to favorites spots you always go to so you wont need to search for it again.

Samsung galaxy tab av cable

Well I just got my galaxy tab av cable from the mail. First impression is that it simply works. You attach it to your tab, attach it to the tv and viola your screen is now projected on to the tv! Quite neat for sharing video files and pictures to friends and family.

I also upgraded to gingerbread or 2.3.3 and I have seen a mark improvement from the tab. For one, it does not hang as often as before. Battery life also improved. And everything is a bit tad faster. One program I saw that significantly improved is the CamScanner. Before picture preview was just a black screen but now you can see the picture before accepting it to be saved.

All in all im reakky enjoying the tab. As a ebook reader, for internet surfing, watching some movies and taking HD videos of my son. So far this is the best gadget I have laid my hands on and I swear I dont ever out it down!

So if you want a tablet, I say get this one.

Update on 2010 Lim Family Fantasy Basketball

What can I say Im out of the finals. Miss it by just a hair. I finished the regular season ranked #1 but got kicked in the ass by Ahiya Itchie on our final four matchup. But looking at the draft rank, I did not do so bad. I picked 8th while Ahiya Itchie picked 2nd. On the other matchup, TJ picked first and Chris picked 7th and was on autopick. All in all I think the master of all is Chris. He is now on the finals vs Ahiya Itchie while he picked 7th of all and was on auto pick! Galeng.

I hope to do better next season. 1st after reg season then booted on the semi final round. FAIL. Hehe.

Samsung Galaxy Tab

Damn!

Im so happy Im now a proud owner of a Samsung Galaxy Tab. Ive been craving for this device for such a long time now. And because the price of this device suddenly dropped, it became gettable. Hehehe. Im writing this blog thru the tab. All expectations met. Im really loving the size of the screen. Looking at my tweeter timeline with the huge screen has become very pleasant. Astig talaga. One downside though is I expect a better battery life than what I am getting. Ive been using the tab the whole day and the batt is now 35%. Not bad really but I expect more juice honestly. I think I have to tweak some of my settings get a more decent battery life.

Thats all for now. Pics and more about the galaxy tab in the upcoming days.
