Listo pa rin ako!

Listo ako kasi:

1 - Napaamin ko si Badong tungkol sa chickimangas niya. Eto lang yun eh: "Isang tanong... isang sagot... "

2 - Tandang-tanda ko nung college, nabokelya ko si "small but terrible" na nanghaharass sa akin sa text. Hmmm... Akala mo ha! "Subukan mo pa ulit gawin sa akin yun at dadalhin kita sa SAO (student affair's office). Mawawala nang di oras ang pangarap mong laude!"

3 - Bonggang-bonggang nabokelya ko si Cherrybitch. Nyahaha... Shunga eh. "Pwede po ba makausap si Cherry?" "Ah... oo ako nga yun!" "Ano... ano...? No matter how many times you change your number, I will always find you!"

4 - Nalaman ko lang naman mga friendster accounts nila. (Oo... mga aspirants)

5 - Nung nasa TeleTech ako, meron isa pang "small but terrible" fella na nabokelya ko din na inaaway ako. Pinagkakampihan nila ako nung maputi at plastik na girlalou from L&D. Waaah... Shunga... tama bang mag save ng msn messages sa computer mo eh tamang nakalikot ko naman!

6 - Through MSN ulit... nalaman ko na ang isang "kagalang-galang" kuno na former-bastketball-hunk-married-to-a-journalist-from-ABS-CBN eh tinawag akong "unggoy" just because I asked him a simple question. According to him, mas marunong pa daw sa akin yung 5-year-old son niya. Huuuy... walang perpekto! At ikaw Cheneb___... haay pasalamat ka may asawa ka na. Pero di ko talaga malilimutan ito.

7 - Tamang na-open ko ang most-confidential-employee-file ever... the "black book" of HR. Hehe... Kayo... anong gusto niyong malaman?

8 - Nakalibre ako ng USD 450+ for "purchasing" a M___soft product. Hehehe... I had no intentions naman kaya lang I believe there is a glitch in their licensing process that gave me this stuff for free.

9 - Ako si Wacky WoDa! Weeheee...

I am Lady Sticky Star =)

Thanks to Chivar Schizo I am now addicted to http://www.palistuhan.com.ph. Hehe. Sulit naman ang pagka adik kasi now I am working on Level 3. Pahirap nang pahirap... kaloka! Anyway, marami pang pwedeng pagkaabalahan. I tried 'Supahfy Yo' Name' and I came out to be Lady Sticky Star. Dunno what the heck that means in the palistuhan world but whatever it is... the logo reminds me of the album R & B. (Which reminds me... I need to look for it pala!)

OMG - OmNia Gorgeous!

OMG as in OmNia Gorgeous is all I can say about the new Samsung i900, more widely known as the Omnia. I am not here to write a detailed review about it, I just can't keep the awe to myself and so I wanted to share the best and worst things I learned about the phone. On Saturday, Ed and I met Engel our friend to have an exchange-gift-session of some sort but we ended up buying her Omnia, and this has become the highlight of the weekend.

• First of all, the selling price was set to a whopping PhP 31,999 (from the Samsung store at the 3rd level of Robinson's Place Manila). We got it on installment basis but I was kinda disappointed that they applied the 1.30% interest rate on the SRP, instead of on the remaining balance (Engel made a cash-out of PhP 7k). Dunno if my thinking is right... but you should only be applying interest on what you owe, right? Anyway, since this is a long awaited buy, Engel gave in. (Dapat may commission ako eh, kasi ako pa nagconvince! Hehe)
• The stylus doesn't have a slot that goes anywhere into the body of the phone. Instead... it dangles at the external. Good thing is, it works just like the rabbit antenna of a TV set, where from its entire length, it can be folded down into almost less than half its length. The design of the stylus' cover looks elegant as well. (IF you didn't know the Omnia, you'd think that the thingie hanging out there is a decorative chain of some sort.
• According to the sales people: When you are at a meeting or some place where ringtones or cellular phone beeps are a no-no, and you forgot to put your Omnia into silent mode, you simply have to turn the phone lying face down on the desk or anywhere (as long as it's lying face down) and the Omnia will automatically shift to silent mode. (Galing noh! If only people could do that to babies too! Haha)
• The screen orientation (whether portrait or landscape) automatically shifts when you rotate the phone. So if you're holding your phone in a vertical manner, the screen is upright, and when horizontal, the screen is in landscape mode as well. This is called the accelerometer feature.
• Just like most new cameras in the market now, it has a "smile" recognition feature
• The phone's internal memory is 8Gb, and can further be expanded to 16Gb with an external card! Can you imagine that?! (Kaya lang I learned last night that the phone was showing some funky errors saying that the memory is at a critical level, despite the fact that there was still around 7.x Gb left on the card.) I read some forums last night and it seems to be an error common with Omnia users, but of course, there are ways to fix this. I hope Engel finds the article.
• It comes with Windows Mobile 6.1, and the interface looks very much like my HTC Touch, except for the cutie widgets at the side. (Imagine your Windows Vista widgets, that's how it looks like).
• You can watch movies in DivX format, and all other standard media file types in the market. (Except that, I think I heard someone say that it doesn't have a Windows Media Player).
• It has video recording capabilities, unlike the iPhone.

My final judgement? The phone is the best buy that Engel has ever done! I saw how thrilled and love-stricken she was with this phone and I know this will make her happy until she gets reminded again of the unsuccessful love stories she's been into in the past. I know majority will say that the Omnia was a luxurious buy... but for me... If you have the money and you want to be happy... spend it freely!

Sun Cellular's iMessenger

There's this hype on Unlimited Messenger/Chat services as advertised on TV by the two telco giants: Smart and Globe. Uzzap by Smart and Connected24Ever by Globe. Well of course, each claims to be better than the other, each claims to be the first, each of them tries to come up with the "cheapest" offering in the market. Everytime I see these ads on TV, I ask... "What the hell is Sun Cellular doing?! Don't they have a marketing team at all?!" Don't get me wrong! No... no... I am not a die-hard Sun subscriber (not because of anything else, but I just want to point out that I am neutral here). In fact, I have been a loyal Globe subscriber all this time... even if a day passes by without getting a strong signal from Globe. (uhuh... as in!) Back to the topic. I know for a fact that Sun Cellular was the first to launch this Unlimited Messenger thingie, but there seems to be no aggressive campaign/ads initiated by them on TV. You can check it out here: http://www.suncellular.com.ph/vas_iMess.php. As you can see in their press release... you can do Unlimited 'Messengering' for 24 hours, for only 20 pesos!

• Unlike the offerings of other networks, you DON'T NEED TO INSTALL anything into your phone. You are chatting as if you were just sending SMS!
• For first time users - your first day is FREE. Just text SunIM to 2746
• You can IM with all your friends in Yahoo!, MSN, AOL, and even ICQ!
• Added Features: a) You can download your entire contact list for ALL your IM accounts so that you can see who is online b) Since your 20 pesos is valid for a good 24 hours only, you can check your remaining subscription time by sending an SMS command to 2746 c) You may also get a ONE-WEEK/7-day subscription at 100 pesos. (so that's 2 days free for you dear!)

Well, I haven't been using SunIM for quite sometime now, for the reason that I am literally glued to my laptop already, because of the tons of paperwork that need to be finished. Still there is the Sun though... with my Plan 350 - Unlimited Call & Txt. (San ka pa?) Good to note that despite Sun Cellular being the underdog among all three of them, it doesn't stop looking for ways to gain that competitive edge, and to also give more options to consumers. It's just a pity that their ad campaigns are not that visible to the viewing public. Matawagan nga si Aga! :)

Happy Weekend everyone!
