The year 2012 is almost over. A few more hours until 2013. I got a lot of things in mind that I want to say before I regret not saying it. I think this is the right time for it. Later I'll be in the office working, taking in calls, while everyone will celebrate the New Year. I may not that verbal enough to say what my mind wishes to. But let me say it through here. Thank you...   First and foremost, I thank God for everything He had given me this year. All the blessings He gave me. Some of it which I don't deserve, but still He gave it to show how much He appreciates and loves me as I am. No things can be compared to His love. I love you Lord. I also thank God for the challenges He gave me. Without it, I won't be the person I become now. He is really a good Teacher and Provider. I sing my praise to You. I thank all the people who become a part of my 2012. Those people who have shared the happiness, sorrows, ups and downs, wisdom, and skill I endured this year. Tha

This new commercial from Coca-Cola tells us that whatever circumstances we encounter in our lives, whether through good times and hard times, sufferings, conflicts, confusions, and the like, there will be ways we could find happiness and joy that we could share for everyone. This video, even though it is sang in Filipino, will give us instances that us can bring joy more than sorrows. Here is the lyrics for our Filipino friends. Enjoy! Ako ang magdadala saan man mapunta Dadalhin ang ligaya Ako ang magbubukas hindi maghihintay Bubuksan ang ligaya Kung saan man masaya Doon lagi ako magpupunta Hinding hindi makikinig Pag sinasabing hindi kaya Papakita ko lahat kaya Ako ang gumagawa Lahat ng makita gagawing maligaya Ako ang magbibigay Halina't sumama na Magbigay ng ligaya Dadalhin ko,  bubuksan ko ang saya ng mundo Gagawin ko ibibigay ko Tuloy-tuloy na tayo Dadalhin ko,  bubuksan ko ang saya ng mundo Gagawin ko ibibigay ko Tuloy-tuloy na tayo Published wit

To all my friends who are going through some issues right now (including me), let's start an intention avalanche. We all need positive intentions right now. If I don't see your name, I'll understand. May I ask my friends wherever you might be, to kindly copy, paste, and share this status for one hour to give a moment of support to all those who have family problems, health struggles, job issues, worries of any kind and just need to know that someone cares. Do it for all of us, for nobody is immune. I hope to see this on the walls of all my friends just for moral support. I know some will!! I did it for a friend and you can too. You have to copy & paste this one, no share button. Published with Blogger-droid v2.0.9

Another performance level music video from Beyonce that shows the vocal prowess of the singer. I just remember the times I have with my choirmates when we try to kill the time we usually sing songs, then to add a challenge, we transpose the tune a level higher than the original. We transpose the song until we can't handle the song's pitch anymore. Miss that. :-) Hope you enjoy the video. Published with Blogger-droid v2.0.6

This is the reason why we need to be vigilant with our online accounts. This is very true if you also do purchases online. Good thing I have my 2.step google verification activated, and no credit cards yet. BPO agents and employees, take note. Read this article to see why. The story is kinda creepy. But I hope this will enlighten you about the importance of online security and selecting online companies to work with. Published with Blogger-droid v2.0.6

Last night is, I admit, very frightening to me. First time I encounter rain water entering my room. It is not flowing water, but dripping water from my door and from my ceiling. The sound of the wind with the rain shower, with varying intensity every minute adds to the nervousness I felt last night. Me and my room mates need to wake up because the water reached our cushion beds. We clean up the mess and put  door mat on the door to avoid the water to sip inside. We also put containers in places where water drips from our ceiling. Haizzz... The whole night is freezing cold. Good thing I was able to sleep well. Until this morning when I woke up, eveything is calm, except for some rain showers and wind. I am happy we survived the night. Safe and alive. Thank God. :-) Published with Blogger-droid v2.0.6

This song has been recently an entry in the Philippine Popular Music Festival (please correct me if I am wrong). This song gave touches me and gives me inspiration, and makes me smile everytime I listen to it. I hope you will also be inspired to the song and gives you good vibes the whole day. Enjoy!

Jango is one of those online streaming music player that provides quality music on the go. You can select from different genre. You can also create your own radio playlist by selecting your favorite artists. It also has a default radio station where it plays random great hits. The best part of it, Jango supports independent music artists by allowing them to play their music here and the listeners rates their song. So awesome! I hope I could listen to Original Pinoy Music here soon. Give it a try. I am enjoying it now. Published with Blogger-droid v2.0.6

MIUI MiHome launcher is my new launcher home. It is fast and lightweight as the Zeam Launcher, but the best thing about MiHome is that your home screens are your app drawer itself. You can customize it by grouping the icons by folders. You can also add widgets to it. And most of all you can apply themes. Amazing! This launcher is available for android 2.3 and 4.0. I hope you can try this launcher. Published with Blogger-droid v2.0.6

This are the screen captures of the latest value-pack update of samsung galaxy w as promised by samsung guys.

We know some of us were so afraid to lose our phone. And some of us have installed some apps from the Play Store (for Android), or from other app stores for other phones, that will allow us locate our phone when we lose it. Perhaps, we can say, that this is one of the things an owner of any smartphone should do. It's not an accessory but a necessity. We don't want to cry over that lost phone and nothing we could do to find it. We are not sure if all of the Samsung Galaxy phone users were aware of this, but they should. We are referring to its Remote Control, the ability of the phone to be controlled remotely from a different device, in this case, a browser. Using the SamsungDive website, the website Samsung had provided to remotely access our phones, we can track and find our phone from any browser, in any computer or devices with internet connection. It's not just tracking the location of our phone, but not limited to remotely locking/unlocking it, clean-wipe it,

Samsung's Global Blog logo courtesy of their website. Well I'm just so happy that my Galaxy W will get a value-pack upgrade. I'm still sad that it won't get any Ice Cream Sandwich, but I think I can live to it. Here is the link from the Samsung Global blog that says about the ICS upgrade plan for Samsung Galaxy phones. The phones not mentioned there, I'm sorry, but no luck. To add to that, here are the statements from the Product Planning Team of Samsung mobile and their thoughts about the OS upgrades people are talking about. I hope this will clear up everyone's mind about the issue. If you still want to have the ICS on your handsets, you can just root your phone and apply those custom ROMS out there. Just make sure you follow those instructions to avoid unexpected things. I don't have any plans to root and flash my Galaxy W phone with custom ROMS as of the moment. It is still in warranty period and I don't want to mess anything with i

Temple Run image courtesy of the Play Store I had installed the much awaited Android version of the Temple Run in my, of course, Android phone, the Samsung Galaxy W. I remembered 24 hours ago that I checked this app if it is already in the Play Store, realizing that their announcement of March 27, 2012 for the Temple Run for Android will be released in their time zone. As I expected, it was released by 1pm, Philippine Time (+08:00). Once I installed it, I was able to have an hands-on experience on the it. Thank God, I was able to get a screenshot of it using the Power button-Home button combination. I had playing it for some quite time right now and it really is addicting to the point that you wanted to finish the quest and reach the next level. So far, the experience is so good and a lot of excitement. There are times that it lagged a bit, but then it will resume to run smoothly. There are some point in time when my swipes on the screen won't work. And the culprit are

On the left: Dynamic Sidebar; On the right: Simple Layout I'm sorry if some of you who were reading my blog a while ago were confused because of constant changing of the templates I use. Now, I have two of my favorite templates here, and I have already saved them somewhere. Help me which of the two you think would suit my blog. Is it the Dynamic Sidebar view I customized, or the Simple Layout I also customized? I'm kinda excited to manage my own blog here. Still drafting those topics I should be posting here. So far here is what I can offer by now. Hope a help from you will reach me. For those who will, I am giving my sincere gratitude to you. :) For the meantime, I'll stay here on Simple Layout until everything has been decided. Have a nice day ahead!

What I hate about getting a smartphone is that there are new models and units released almost every month by those mobile manufacturers, plus they are much more powerful, stylish, functional, and more energy efficient. Adding to it was they are included for free in a very competitive and affordable postpaid plans. GRRR!!! Currently I have a Samsung Galaxy W smartphone running in 1.4GHz single core processor with 4GB internal memory and Android 2.3 OS--more specs in here:  Samsung Mobile Press . I have already updated its OS from 2.3.5 to 2.3.7 via its Update utility. So far, this phone really is so durable and works the way I wanted. With an unlimited data plan included, I was able to maximize its Internet power. I had also used almost all of its features in my almost 2 months of use. The list would be as follows: 1. Make it as a WiFi hotspot. 2. Play games. 3. Listen to Music and analog FM stations 4. Browse the Internet via 3G and WiFi using its buit-in browser, Firefox,

I was amazed by this article I read from TechRepublic about the activities happening on the Internet during a day. This infograph was sourced from   MBAonline.com ,  as the article says. Enjoy reading!

If you have installed any apps that uses your camera, then better sort them out. They may be the culprit that causes the warning message Camera Failed in your Samsung Galaxy phone. I don't know if it happens in other Android devices, but still this will serve as a precaution.  Camera Failed warning message normally happens when an app doesn't handle properly the camera, or never release its use in it after you close that app. In my case, I figured out that the security app I installed in my Samsung Galaxy W bugs my camera. This security app has a feature which you can remotely take photos on your phone, just using a web browser. I was so glad that it has this feature, not until when I am going to take a photo myself on the phone, it shows the warning message Camera Failed . It resolves by rebooting the phone, but after a while, its back.  I searched for some solutions in the web, and finally read about a post telling the users that a certain photo capture app is the cul
