Butas ata Bubong natin!

My mom arrived this morning from manila where she stayed for a week to rest. With her is her dog pitbull named Ambo. Our helper named Tom Jones (T-bird siya) tied Ambo on our 2nd floor balcony. AND I just want to mention that the floor of this balcony is made out of wood. Jump to 3 hours after... Tom Jones was walking to our dining room on the ground floor when she suddenly felt something dripping on her for head. She was astonished that she was getting wet and she immediately assumed that "may butas daw yung bubong namin". She called another of our helpers and their conversation sort of went like this:

TomJones: Ano ba to nababasa ako dito o. May butas ata yung bubong e.

Helper#2: Wala naman butas yung bubong natin dyan a. Tsaka ngayon lang nagkatulo yung bubong dyan.

TomJones: Pero sigurado ako may tulo e. Tingnan mo hanggang ngayon meron pa. Tinamaan pa nga ako sa bunbunan niyan e. O tingnan mo yung kamay ko nababasa pa rin.

Helper#2: Oo nga no. San ba nanggagaling yon?

Both of them looked up and TADA!!!!

Ambo was pissing directly above them and his piss was penetrating the balcony's wooden floor.

Moral of the story: Don't assume its only rain water.

Positive thing about it: At least its only urine and Ambo was not suffering from LBM.

Uploading Video Problem

I cant seem to upload any videos in multiply lately. What the FFFFF!

Portable DVD player

Got this for less than 6000 bucks. Look at the specs and you will see that its a pretty good buy.

Home-made Lamp

Nag-ala Mcgyver na naman ako. Made this night lamp myself. Ugly but does the job.

PSP Movie Dock

Got this thing for 500bucks. It can charge your psp, it has remote, and it has decent speakers. All in all a pretty good buy.

Archos AV420 Live Again.

From my previous blog entry you can see that the hd of my archos died on me. Well, i am proud to say that i have fixed it myself and it is working... Better than before! Wuhoo! I bought a new hd form ebay and waited for about 10 days for it to arrive. When it got here i immediately went to work. I found a website that had a simple instruction on how to replace the hd and dismantled it immediately. Unscrewed all the screws and tried to detach the old hd but there was something holding it in place. Went to the website again and I found out that there were two screws on the flip side of the board, its on the back of the LCD. So I moved the LCD a little bit and unscrewed it. Then installed the new hd. Because of the excitement of it all, I tried to put it all back immediately. Boy, was I wrong! It wasnt that easy! I cant seem to close the case tightly. After 3-4 tries of detaching and attaching everything all over again, I found out that I hadnt screwed the hd on tight enough. So after more or less 2hours (which I thought would take me 30mins max!), I had put everything back! Turned it on, and....wuhooooo! Its working again! I just had to reformat the HD so I can get all the appropriate folders in place. It was better than before because of a techy bit that is too hard to explain here.

A Tale of Two Devices

This is a story about my two devices. One is may blackberry phone and the other is my archos personal video player and recorder. One of them showed extra ordinary durability and strength while the other one just died on me with no apparent reason. Let's start with the former.

Last thursday, I accidentally soaked my blackberry foam in C2 lemon. Well it was not totally submerged, I just accidentally dropped my phone inside a plastic bag that contained a C2 bottle that had a loose cap. So by the time I found the phone it was totally wet and the buttons were not working anymore. I shut it off immediately and started whipping it with my shirt. I placed it infront of the electric fan to dry it. After an hour I tried placing the battery again and it won't turn on! I thought it was the end for my cellphone. I just placed it on my side table and decided to bring it to greenhills the next day. When I woke up next morning, the first thing I did was to try it again... Lo and behold it lives again! Though the button were sticky it was working a-ok! I was really amaze, I thought it was goodbye blackberry.

Then last weekend while I was about to transfer my first five episodes of Entourage season 4 on my archos it suddenly died. I cant access the hard drive of my archos. It takes around 10mins for me to open my archos up (when it was ok it just took a second) and see the files inside. What worse is I cant add any files to my archos anymore. SHYEEEEEEET. I looked around the net and found that I can replace the hard disk of my archos but the problem is I cant find anyone locally. So ill be posting a picture of the hard disk and please help me find one.

So that’s the darn story. The thing that I bought for 3500 was far more durable than the one that I bought for 15k. Well that’s life. Planning to just buy a portable dvd para tipid. Hehe.

WOW Galing ng PINOY

Just finished watching IKON ASEAN an international singing contest. And both Philippine representatives won it. Vina Morales and the band Kjwan. And this morning 5 out of the 6 boxers won their fights in the boxing world cup. Galing. Its good to be a Filipino today. hehehe.

NICA

Ang anak ni Inday. Ang saya may baby na kami sa bahay. IIspoilin namin tong batang ito. Hehehe. Cute no? Pano kaya si Inday nagkaanak ng ganito? Hehehe. JOKE.

My Metal Case

My metal case just arrived last week. It took 10 days for it to arrive. What can i say... a perfect fit! My only problem is that when i recieve a call...there is a loud buzz because of the case. Now if i recieve a call i need to slide to phone up halfway to eliminate the buzzing sound.
Well anyway im still satisfied with my purchase. I just hope that i can do something about that buzzing sound. Its pretty irritating and its a pain to slide to phone up when i recieve a phone call.

Pity for Philipine Basketball

Talaga naman nangarap pa tayo e no. Jordan lang talo tayo. And to think we have our own proffesional leauge. Come to think of it. Thats our downfall. Feeling natin magagaling tayo kasi may PBA. Pero isa import lang per team e ang laki na ng difference sa leauge! Tapos ang galing pa ng coach na kinuha natin. Nakakalungkot. Pero lets just face it na talagang pang SEA games lang ang galing natin. Hehehe. Our Philippine Team suck pero i like their heart. Its not the fault of the players. The fault lie in that we are dreaming a dreamers dream. Feeling pa talaga natin mag OLYMPICS. Ang kailangan natin reality check. Hehehe.

ALPS Tutorial Center

We are now open. Fully air-conditioned rooms! Room renovated primarily to provide a conductive learning environment. Just 5 mins away from Xavier and ICA

The Shield Season 6

Sprained my right ankle yesterday, i dont know why because I just sat the whole afternoon. Woke up today and i cant stand or walk without it hurting. Dammit. So with nothing else to do i grabbed my stash of cds where i burned my copies of The Shiled Season 1 and 2and started watching it again. I really like this series. Bad cop doing some good on the side. Parang parak sa Pilipinas! Hehe. I have watched each and every episode of this from Season 1 to 5. I have been waiting for season 6 for the longest time and guess what?..... what?! Its out! Its in its 10th episode! Better start downloading! By the way this series stars The Thing from Fantastic Four.

Transformer from the Philippines!

Bought this item on ebay for my hp6965

Bought this metallic casing from ebay.com recently for $10 plus $5 dollars for shipping. Paid it immediately via paypal and the email from the seller told me that it will take 10-14days for my shipment to arrive. Hope it gets here in one piece! Had to resort to buying off on ebay because i have been having trouble finding accessories for my beloved hp6965. I saw one in a greenhills shop but it costs almost 2000php so i decided that shopping off ebay was more tipid. Will update again with actual pictures when my casing arrives.

My mini-psp game reviews

Crush

You really need to use the brain on this one. You need to play the tutorials first or else you wont get nowhere. Its one of a kind game and i dont think there is a game like this out in the market. Very unique and im sure you'll waste tons of hours trying to figure out the puzzle/stages here. Its entitled crush because on a press of the R button the 3D world of the game becomes 2D. You really need to do this because on the 3D world there are concrete obstacles that vanishes when you "crush". I have played this game for about 7-8 hours already and im only on the second batch of puzzles! This game is worth hours of hours of gameplay if you dont get frustrated during the first hour of play.

Pimp my ride

Sorry for those who enjoyed this game but this is the worst ever game i have played on the psp. I did not reach the part of the game where you tend to pimp a ride because the controls on this game is ridiculous! Its a driving game at the start of the game and i cant control the damn car!!! I crash the car on fences, buildings and walls but amazingly my car is still on its prestine condition. No dents or scratch! Amazing! Then there is a part in the game that you need to impress the crowd (i dont know why you nedd to do this), but instead of driving a pimped out car you step out of the game and you need to let your character dance!!! What the hell is that!? A total waste of time! I just dont get it! A total waste of a good Title.

Diner Dash

Well kung nakalaro na kayo nito sa pc e madali lang mag adapt sa game na ito. Masaya siya pangpalipas ng oras. Mahirap lang konti ang controls niya kasi and diner dash was made w/ mouse pointer na controls. Masmukang diner dash2 ito sa pc kesa sa diner dash. Napakasimple lang ng point ng game na ito. Waiter ka, so kelangan mo: iseat mga customer, bigyan sila ng menu, kunin, order nila, bigay sa cook yung order, bigay sa customer ang pagkain, kunin ang bill, linisin ang table, ang lagay sa lababo ang mga ginamit na plato. Napakasimple di ba? HINIDI! Kasi madaming mga customers, iba iba, may pamilya: dapat bigyan ng high chair kundi iyak ng iyak yung sangglo at maasar ang mga katabi ng pamilyang ito. Meron din bookworm: napakabagal kumilos!, Meron businesswoman: lahat naman mabilis para sa babae nato. Etc. Tapos minsan nagtatapon pa yung mga pamilya, so kelangan mo i-mop. Tapos minsan (pagmataas na level mo) may manghihingi na ng dessert and bread! Nakakapraning! Madali lang ang game pag normal pass lang ang gusto mo. Challenge pag gusto mo maging expert every level.

Free Running

Wala kang makikitang review para sa game na ito. Naghanap ako at wala akong makita. Ito lang masasabi ko: Napanood niyo ba yung pinakabagong James Bond? Di ba may chase scene yung sa umpisa ng palabas? May parang unggoy na tao na talon ng talon at nagcicircus habang tinatakasan si James Bond di ba? Kung gusto mo magfeeling na kaya mong gawin yan e ito ang game para sayo! Ganun ang gagawin mo sa game nato. Para itong Tony Hawk pero walang skateboard! Talon, talon, takbo, talon, kapit, akyat, sabit, etc. Yan ang gagawin mo sa game na ito. Pinakamaganda e talagang magtutorial ka muna: Once na mamaster mo na ang mga basic moves e talagang mageenjoy ka na sa game na ito. Hindi ito masyadong kilalang laro pero para sa akin sulit ang game na ito. Masmasarap siguro itong game na ito kung may kakarera ako thru had-oc!

Update on my upgrade of my PSP to 3.40OE

I used a quick installer i found on my suki site pinoypsp and here is the timetable of my recent firmware update of my PSP:

-download time of installer: 15-17 mins
-actual upgrade: 2-3mins

Thats it! amazing isnt it. Now i can play new games that were released june 2007 onwards.

The Great Battles of Rome game that made me update my firmware was unfortunately a let down. Its not a good game. A review of it will be read here in the future.

Smart bro working A-OK

Update on my previous post about Smartbro: The thing amazingly works perfectly! Ive had it for 3 days and no problem encountered so far. Plus, the guys who installed it were very courteous and professional. Ive downloaded 3 psp games so far had it on for almost three whole days. Kudos to Smartbro. I hope i dont get jinx for this.

Upgrading my PSP firmware to 3.40 OE-A

Hay buhay. Need to upgrade my custom firmware again. I downloaded an new game just an hour ago and it doesnt run with my current firmware anymore. My current firmware is 3.03OE-B, meaning i can run homebrew games and play games that need 3.03 firmware or lower. TAMA SONY! Tama na ang upgrade ng firmware! Leave us alone! Hehehe. Hope it works. Sige ooperahan ko muna ang psp ko. Update you guys later when I am done. Wish me luck!

Another 10 hours of black out

I again suffered 10 hours of blackout here in the province. I just dont get it! Ang init. Its hard to close our store because of the absence of light. Its hard to count our daily sales. I think we need a generator here if we want to have an electronic cash register and to computerize our inventory system. Anyone want to donate a generator? Hehehe. Thats it for now.
