Krispy Kreme's treat! Free donut and coffee!

i was glazed! aha, i just had a free original glazed and brewed coffee from Krispy Kreme at Mall of Asia, I received a coupon from them through my email. What I did next was register my name and my phone number to their site, pass the coupon to other friends and print the confirmation from Krispy Kreme. The reply email was moved to my spam folder so make sure you check it if you're expecting a reply. I printed the whole coupon with the image, shown here, went to their drive thru together with a valid ID, and added iced donut and chocolate hershey. yum, perfect for a rainy afternoon.

akomismo movement

I was really moved in awe when I first saw the AKOMISMO ad from the TV. At that moment, I was challenged to be more of a good citizen to our country. Obviously, most of us Filipinos are doing well now of being a good citizen, most of us are aware and proactive regarding environmental concerns.

I’m not sure of what akomismo movement really aims or targets to accomplish, for me, it's a broad idea; it's to be a positive element in any ways that we do … maybe it's personal, from family, from friends, to the environment, to the government or for religion.

For me, the phrase akomismo ("Ako mismo") or "I did exactly" or "I am exactly" or "I will exactly", checks, reminds and challenges us of what we did, what are we doing and what will be our next actions in a very exact manner. A very concrete idea and promise to oneself. But it’s not just “ano ang gagawin mo”, but also , “ano na ang nagawa mo sa kapwa at sa bayan? ano ?”

I think, the add spoke enough, it doesn't need gatherings of people who became a fan of that idea or, registration from their site (I’m not sure if there is, I just skimmed through this blog site about that). What we need is movement,constant movement inside our hearts, "buo loob dapat". I think this is a call for each individual to be aware to our world's concerns, if you have done actions or doing actions right now, add more to it, do more challenges to yourself, that from you is a good example of what akomismo is for you!

Congratulations! Pacman vs Hatton

even if you are not manny pacquiao, not all will know, but most of pinoys will look to you as a great person, a great guy, father, husband and son. a character of a true brown pinoy. and a witness to God's blessings.

"Adjective: elated i'ley-tid

1. Exultantly proud and joyful; in high spirits
"the elated winner"; "felt elated and excited"

2. Full of high-spirited delight

Verb: elate i'leyt

1. Fill with high spirits; fill with optimism
"Music can elate your spirits"

let me try using this in a sentence;
#1 I am so elated from the comments of your friends that I am a cool and smart guy.
#2 I tried searching in google using "Yellow Cab Imus" as my search key and I'm elated that my blog was in top 5 searches.

Yellow Cab Imus: Now Open!

They opened a week ago together with the usual settings, services and menu of other Yellow Cab stores.

We visited the store last night to savor the enticing taste of the Charlie Chan Chicken Pasta, grab the rich flavor of the generously tomatoes-and-chicken-topped pizza which they call, Corona Chicken Salsa and drive it all down with quenching comfort of Coca Cola.

Their digits for delivery are (046)875-2222; They are in Palico-Imus area (see Google Maps) sitting on the right side of Aguinaldo Highway if you're leading to Tagaytay from Coastal Highway.

Your chances of having Yellow Cab is from 10 am to 12 midnight everyday! Indulge...

reklamador issue #2: Paki-abot po ng bayad!

paganahin lang natin ang ating tamang timpla sa loob ng jeep ano po...okay ganito...ang issue natin ay iikot sa loob ng jeepney...

sa pagbabayad, magsabi naman ikaw ng, "paki-abot po ng bayad"; ung iba kasi bigla na lang nag-aabot ng pera sa mukha mo. Alam naman natin na common sense na un, pero mag-salita ka naman; wag naman, ika nga, "taken for granted" ang kapwa pasahero sa pakikisuyo ng bayad mo.

pangalawa, kung alam mo naman na ang kaisa-isang pakikisuyuan mo ng bayad ay nagtetext or may kausap sa phone or maraming yakap yakap na gamit, ikaw na mismo ang lumapit sa driver. malaki ka na, kaya mo ng mag-balancing-act habang umaandar ang jeep.

pangatlo, kung may malaki kang box ng ref na isasakay (exaggerated na toh), ilagay mo naman sa dulo, sa likod ng driver, at mga co-passenger, patulong naman, kahit basket pa yan ng hipon o palanggana ng isda...wag ka nga maarte, saluduhan mo na lang ang ating vendors...

pang-apat, laging magsabi ng "paki", "salamat" at "excuse me".

pang-lima, pakilakasan ang boses hah, ung moderate naman, ung hindi mabibingi ang katabi.

pang-anim, pag mag-aabot ng bayad, wag idaan ang braso sa gitna ng cellphone at sa natetext na may ari ng cellphone...naku siguradong mag-eeclipse ang paningin nya sayo...wag ganun, bad un...mag sabi ka muna ng "excuse me".

pang-pito, alam namin na tig 40K ang cellphone mo, wag mo naman i-display na madudukot na ng mandurukot, kasi kami ang natatakot sayo eh, concerned lang naman kaming mga co-passengers mo (sarcastic na to...wink!)

pang-walo, paupuin po natin ang ating mga beloved elderly or pregnant women malapit sa hulihan ng jeep, pra hindi na sila mahirapan... "o, dedma pa o, hindi pa yan uurong o..."

marami pang iba, kung may gusto kayong idagdag, nasasa-loob nyo...express nyo lang dito...wag kayong pasaway sa loob ng jeep hah, malaki na kayo, alam myo na yan...

doktor quak issue # 1: Blink Power

Blinking is very essential to our eyes 'coz it lubricates our eyes to prevent it from drying (maybe not really dried out, but maybe not enough eye fluids); like applying lip balm on lips; or wetting our throats; it also protects the eyes from incoming foreign objects, just like the wiper of our cars.

So where's the catch?...here it is, we blink once every 2 to 10 seconds but when we work on our computers, our blinking rate goes down...we don't notice it but we seldom blink when we're really focused on our monitors or other reading materials like books and magazine; this makes our eyes irritated, worked out or fatigued resulting to more illness for the eyes.

This made me realize that i have to blink for a day to make up for the seconds that i didn't blink...haha... 8P

tech issue #1: comparing two files in command prompt

I was watching a video regarding encrypting and decrypting file. And at the later part of the video, the author used FC command in command prompt to compare the original VB source code file against the decrypted one. And it is useful to make sure that nothing was missed in the decryption of your file. Eventhough the decrypted file is written in jumbled characters, FC command is smart to know that the two files are identical in content.

(funny and dumb) I got interested with the capability of the command so I tried to compare two access databases with size of 1 G a piece, then "walah ", it ate my memory and slowed down my pc; haha, don't try that, i just got curious with what the result will be comparing database to database.

I think it works well with text files; One more thing I'd like to share, I just found out this one from the video, after typing CD then SPACE BAR then hitting tab respectively will show folders or files in the current directory, then hit enter. 'Coz before, I'll type the whole name of the file or the folder (ahaha, don't give me the raised eyebrow, I just knew this stuff...)

reklamador issue #1: hindi pa green light!

(galit mode ang pagkasulat nito, basahin din ng pagalit...) Puntahan natin ang area ng Baclaran sa kahabaan ng Roxas Blvd sa Maynila, aba eh, galing akong Airport road at paliko pakaliwa papuntang Coastal Mall, paspasan ko ba naman ang pagtapak sa gas kasi akala ko GO light pa din, ilaw pala ng poste un, ung mga magagarang de-ilaw na katawan ng poste, nambugi naman o! eh magkasing-height ang pagkakalagay ng trafic lights sa ilaw ng Art Posts na un eh...kaya hindi agad mapapansin kung baguhan sa area at posibleng pagmulan ng ayaw na diskrasya.

Kanino ba dapat ipaabot ang ganitong suhestyon na iwasan ang pagamit ng mga colored-lights para sa design ng mga poste, katulad ng mga kulay na yellow, green and red...siguro mas priority na iwasan ang pagamit ng ilaw na green...

habang wala pang aksyon, ingat ingat muna...sa mga dapat umaksyon, alam nyo na ang gagawin nyo, malalaki na kayo...

globe call and text promos

I am fond of the promos of Globe like the 232, 235, 236 and the UNYT 20. Dialing a globe number prefixed with 232, like 232-906-221-3432, will cost you 0.10 peso per second or 6.00 per minute. Dialing a globe number prefixed with 235, like 235-906-221-3432, will cost you 10.00 pesos for a 3-minute call. The call lasts for only 3 minutes; unfortunately, you have to dial again, unlike the 232, which is a continuous call. Using 232 is cheaper on Sundays; it only costs 0.05 peso per second or 3.00 per minute.

I'm also fond of using UNYT 20, where once you are registered, you can call globe number like 0906-221-3432 for at most 7 hours that is from 11 PM to 6 AM of the next day. Good thing for those people who always stay late. So how to do this, I think you should have at least 25.00, then text unyt 20 and send to 8888. Then wait for the globe's message like "Maari mo ng gamitin ...", i forgot the next phrases.

I'm also fond of using sulitxt 15, when once registered; you can send 100 SMS to globe or TM friends. Here how it goes, text sulitxt 15 and send to 8888. Then wait for the message "Maari mo ng gamitin...". This last for 24 hours.

Dialing 236-906-221-3432 will last for 20 minutes and costs 20.00. Just be sure that the one you're calling will not answer and drop the call immediately or fails to secure a good connection in the middle of the call. So what I usually do is, I use 232 first then ask if he/she can chat for 20 minutes, then I can use 236.

Be careful, 'coz sometimes, globe fails to send us the confirmation "Maari mo ng gamitin..." but they already deducted our phone credits. So to be sure, check your balance after registering to a promo. Or just to be sure, call the customer service.

If you got interested with this, visit globe's tabulation of their promos.

If you're running out of phone credits, lots of store in manila is catering in retailing this phone credits, or if you have a BPI ATM, you can reload you phone from an ATM by going to SPECIAL SERVICES that you can choose from the menu of the BPI ATM. You can choose from 100,500 and 1000 Globe Prepaid Credits. I think this is a free service from BPI. Happy texting!
