Plants Vs. Zombies Now on iPhone

The game Plants vs. Zombies from Popcap Games said they are going to coming out to iPhones and iPod Touch this late 2009.

Plants vs. Zombies is a game like tower defense. You are going to defend your house and your brain by using plants and your defense skills to kill and fight zombies lurking in your lawn to take you brain.
Playing Plants vs. Zombies is very amusing as you see lots of zombies with different styles. You can see zombies wearing cool suits, using a ride, bringing their own sheilds like broken screen doors, but the most attractive zombie is the zombie immitating Michael Jackson dancing Thriller while attacking and killing your plants.
And as for the plants, you can see any kinds of plants having their own ways of attack. They immobilize zombies while other bombards zombies untill they drop their head off.

More and more is becoming amused with this game because if you reach the Endless Survival mode, you will really have to release your all as zombies keep coming endlessly.

Here are some screenshots of the game:

District 9: My Own Review

2009-08-19T14:43:00.000-07:00

The is the best sci-fi movie I have ever seen. There's a mix of excitement, anger, sadness, etc. At first it was really annoying because the camera keeps moving but when you watch it until the end you will really hold your breath at every scene as the actor fights for his life.

The actor accidentally sprayed himself in the face with a canister made by the aliens, and little by little he is becoming an alien. He was about to lose courage but the love for his wife made him stronger. The fight for his life is very dramatic! This is really a nice movie.

Watch the trailer here:

AOC 22" LCD wide screen

2009-08-18T11:15:00.000-07:00

I bought this new LCD screen from Octagon Computer Store
(Philippines). AOC 22" wide screen with the resolution reaching up to 1680x1050.

Before, I was using an LCD screen that resolution is only 1024x768 and I'm not used to it. I broke the screen of my laptop that's why I used this as an alternative.

Opening tabs on my browser is an essential because of my job. With my old LCD screen, opening more than four tabs really bothers me because I can't see the titles anymore that's why I'm so eager to buy a larger screen. I decided to buy 19" LCD wide screen, when I started to search for a cheaper one
my dad told me to go and check at Octagon computer store and there I found very cheap and good LCD screens. I was supposed to buy 19" for P9,000 in other stores but this 22" screen from Octagon is only P8,500 so I changed my mind and bought the wider screen without hesitations.

Now, I'm very happy doing my job because I can open fifteen or more tabs and still I can see the tab title. Watching movies and playing my games is more exciting with this 22" LCD screen.
And for the next target, super speakers with woofers, but first I have to save.

This is my first setup. (cute slipper on the from my girlfriend)

This is my new setup now. Isn't that cool?

(Did I forgot to put the cute slipper?...)

Philippines and US Presidents Dinners Triggered Anger for Filipinos.

2009-08-13T22:31:00.000-07:00

Philippine president's two dinners with US president Barack Obama made a very big issue that went skyrocketing and remains hot on news for weeks.

As Philippine media sources flagged the issue, protesters and oppositions dug down and made everything complicated and made Filipinos mad for the President. Dinner with fellow politicians is already anticipated but the main issue is about the money that the president spent during the dinner. The president claimed that they were only invited for the dinner and spent nothing, the payment for the dinner was hosted by the other side so no issues must be made.
But as the president came back, issues came out that they hosted the dinner that cost $15,000 and $20,000 that's almost 1.72 million in Philippine peso value.

Other politicians complained about the expenses for the reason that many Filipinos can barely eat once a day and yet the president is spending too much just to show off and impress another president and not even showing a care for the fellow countrymen.

Since then, more investigations are conducted and are about to be conducted from the plane tickets, accomodations, and other expenses made on the presidents trip. Some issues also came out connected to this like, they only made the issue so that people will hate the president and will stop her for running another term.

Is this how Philippine president waste money for their own benefit and not even showing care for the fellow countrymen?

Kids Searched "Sex" and "Porn" on Internet: OnlineFamily.Norton

2009-08-12T12:48:00.000-07:00

As a child age, discovering new things and learning are on top of the priority. These includes using computers and using the internet. Children at these times use the internet more often because it has direct results of searches for studies and learning , videos, games, any kind of entertainment and of course pornography.

Symantec made OnlineFamily.Norton to monitor a childs activity on using the computer and internet. They released a list of the top searches done by the kids during their activity on computers.

Children used search engines to open sites and not by the address bar since they don't know this yet. So all the keywords that they use are tracked and the top keywords that appeared on the list from Symantec are very surprising.

Unexpected keywords are on top of the list that include social sites such as Facebook and MySpace. Search engines appeared first on the list, Social sites are in the second and third and "sex" came forth, also "porn" appeared on the list.

With OnlineFamily.Norton, parents are now more cautious about their childrens actions when using the computer and internet. Monitoring anything from searches and instant messengers, etc.

Online Job Application

2009-08-12T10:00:00.000-07:00

Online job application is the new trend nowadays for companies especially on technology-involved companies. They use this because it is more accessible and not too hassle for the applicants and for the HR’s of course. This is the easiest way of job application since you don’t have to go to the company; you just have to search them through the internet, find out if they are hiring more people, and just fill up the form on their sites. All you have to do is to wait for their response if you qualify for the position you are applying. This is how easy online job application is, BUT…can you rely on online job application?

I have tried so many online job application sites but most of it don’t respond or seems like they don’t care about the applicants. They don’t send any emails telling you that you are not qualified for the position or any emails for some job position recommendation. Tried some and they responded but I just can’t waste my time going in their companies that are hundreds of kilometers away and not even sure if I qualify for that certain position or not. These companies seems like they don’t care about applicants that are just around there location.

This is why in some ways I don’t trust and rely on online job application. Its better going directly to the companies and apply, or try the Job fairs. Just don’t mind the hassles because it is always a part of it, even in online job applications there are still hassle but not as hassles if you go to the companies or job fairs.

But!...It’s still good to try on online job applications too, maybe you have your luck today and might get hired. Don’t stick into something that online job application is not reliable anymore, there are just some.

Rely on Free or Pay for the Better

2009-08-07T01:45:00.000-07:00

If you were to choose antivirus software for you computer, would you choose and rely on free antivirus softwares or purchase an authenticated antivirus? Viruses swarms the internet everyday, they destroy files that are very valuable and important. This is the number one and common problem for computers. But antiviruses are also made to stop these kinds of problems, provide protection and vulnerablity to your personal files and documents.

You can find free antivirus softwares in the internet. Totally free that you don't have to spend anything for the protection of your computer, BUT...
do you think you have the toughest security if you use free antivirus? You can't expect you can use all the features in a free antivirus, who would make something very important for free? and don't expect you will have 100% protection for your computer. But how about purchasing an antivirus software? It's very obvious, since you purchase it you must have everything that is worth paying for. 100% protection, use every feature of the software, and no problem for updates.

Is is not worth spending a few bucks for your own good?

2009-08-07T01:39:00.000-07:00

Making or editing a video is not that hard and complicated anymore. Windows Movie Maker is the very basic of all video editor for now.

Record Keystrokes with Qmacro

This software that I found on the internet is something useful in some aspect and helps me spend less effort and saves time that only one keystroke does all the things I want.

This is a software that records your keystrokes and mouse activities and repeat it over time as long as you want it and make it stop as you wish. This is just like a bot for online games, or maybe an auto clicker for your mouse or a one-press-does-it-all. You just have to input the keys, put some delays, there is a little bit of programming involve for more advanced usage, but you don't have to program it if you only need the basic keystrokes.

Don't be afraid if your antivirus defines this as a virus because it is just a Company name, I am already using this software until now and nothing happens in my computer. You can just include this on the whitelist of your antivirus so it will consider this software.

Here are some screenshots of this software:

Make Money Online

2009-08-02T22:36:00.000-07:00

Making money online or through the internet is fastly increasing making it the new trend nowadays. People who are internet buffs and addicts are mostly involve in this kind of business. But getting into this kind of business is not easy at all, like any other kind of business and job there are still risks. The things why people like this kind of business and job is because they only stay at home browsing the internet and its high revenue when it starts to bubble up, some of these are tax free too.

For now, as far as I know Affiliate marketing has the highest revenue. But It's not easy to start making money with this business. You have to market products depending on what company you are affiliating to, and to earn from this you get commissions on every sale (e.g. 50% is yours). Some of these affiliate marketing business is not free, to be a member or affiliate you have to pay for a membership to have higher or have the highest commission on every sale. There are also levels on this business, or let's just say this is networking or pyramiding.

Blogging as we know is just writing something for others to read about things that we want to share. But, blogging is one of the online money maker with the highest revenue. You can earn from your blogs through posting advertisements, the number one with the highest payout today is Google ad sense. But do not stick on Google ad sense only, you can get ads from other substitutes like chitika which I think second to Google ad sense with the highest payout. You can also earn from companies and other sites that wants to advertise on your blog site. These advertisements are paid in a time basis for a certain amount. This is why millions are engaging into blogging business but not all of bloggers are successful. Based on the article I read, 90% of bloggers stopped, don't get discouraged even if this will take you long because it's definitely going to take you long to start earning big bucks.

SEO (Search Engine Optimization)job, this is what I am into. I work for a group doing SEO. SEO helps a website increase pagerank, puts advertisements on other sites, (not to mention any others) and also helps increase sales. This is just like working in the office except no paper works but more on reading and analyzing, this how I get ideas that are useful for me in making money online.

A New Way to a New Music

2009-08-02T22:11:00.000-07:00

Listening to my music in my computer fills my boredom, soothes and relaxes. But sometimes it feels likes it's becoming boring listening to it over and over again. So why not listen to another kind of music and discover some new beats that I can add to my collection and fill the boredom.

So i'm on the move again to hunt something new that will alter this thing.
Then I found this...MediaMonkey!

This amazing remedy or I mean software is the one that fits for me. This is not something unique because it is also a music or media player but what I like about this is the online streaming radio/fm. And there are hundreds of channels to choose from.

Customize Your XP

2009-08-02T21:29:00.000-07:00

Making fun of your computer is something really cool and will add an image to your computer to make it more attractive. If you are an XP user, why not costumize everything from theme, to log-on screen and even the boot screen. A friend introduced me this software and it's really amazing because I can change everything according to my will.

This software is something like a musthave in my pc. It's just too boring seeing the old windows xp boot screen and log-on screen over and over again, too common and very ordinary. So gotta be unique in my own way and change my bootscreen from this
to this
...And my log-on screen from this
to this.

You can also change icons for my computer, recycle bin, etc.
But it doesn't end here, Tuneup utilities is not limited to beautifying our pc's only. It can optimize speed and performance and can restore deleted files.

I Broke Mine, But My Sister Got the New One.

2009-07-19T20:37:00.000-07:00

As much as possible I keep an eye for all of my stuff. I handle everything with care, clean it, and keep it. But it's really funny knowing that of all the risk you took, all the things that you've done just to protect and keep your stuff in good condition all became a waste. Not because of what you did but because of what others did unto your stuff.

Not to be rude and selfish, I also allow some of my friends and classmates to use my stuff, maybe we don't have to tell them to take care of our stuff but it's their responsibility already since they borrowed my stuff.

Here's how the story goes...Me and my friends were watching a movie, after that we cleaned the place and of course kept and put my laptop on the bed. When we left some of my friends came and told me they want to borrow my laptop because they want to watch a movie. Well of course I let them because I know those guys, and I consider them my friends. After a few minutes a friend came to me and said my laptop was broken. Shocked and speechless, I went back to my room to check it and yes! The screen was broken.
The funny thing here, they told me they did not do it, the moment they opened my laptop it was already broken. What?!

Well that's it; I can't do anything since it already happened. I asked them what happened but they acclaimed innocents.
Explained everything to my parents, of course I accepted those powerful hurting words again. I can't do anything but just listen to them.

Days past, I was surprised when my mom told me my sister had a new laptop, what?! Yeah, ASUS Eee. How about me? She was laughing at me and said my laptop is still fine that I don't need a new one. Yeah I’m still contented with my broken laptop with its separate monitor, no problem at all. Someday, I can buy my own desktop pc and get my laptop screen repaired.

This is why... I broke mine; my sister got the new one.

A New Travel Experience With a New Wheel

2009-07-19T20:31:00.000-07:00

Me and my family loves to travel a lot around the Philippines, checking new places and tourist spots that we found over the web.

Thanks to our car, Hyundai Starex. He took us to the places that everybody wished to step to. We actually bought it second-hand, but in spite of that it’s in the perfect condition to get along with our hobby and getaway. We never experience troubles on the road with this car, near or far it's always on the go to take us where ever we wanted. But for the mean time, since were a bit rough on this car i think he should relax for a while. It needs to be refurbished for a better looking and a good-as-new again. But before that, of course we need a substitute...

Here comes its brother, our brand new car Hyundai Grand Starex. This will be a new travel experience for the future. It provides the perfect comfort that we need for every travel. Bigger than our other car and more powerful, very spacious, more than enough to carry all the stuff that we need. Like our other car, this one is always ready and always up to something good.
Since this car has no experience in long travels, the good test for this is actually one long travel that will surely put this to the test. But I know, this one is tough and will endure.
I’m looking forward to travelling with this.

It’s Not Luxury, It’s Needed

2009-07-19T20:19:00.000-07:00

People of often tells me it’s kind of luxurious, I tell them it’s not. It’s because...

My dad got me and my sister laptops. when neo launched and released their first models of laptops, the neo empriva, my dad bought two. This is not to look cool in school, but as a student of a school that demands more than books and pens, we got to have one. Assignments, reports, and other papers...not a problem at all. In a wifi hotspot school, I’m always on the go with my wifi ready gadget to connect on the web.
Browse, research for assignments, and even chatting with friends in my available time. For now, this laptop is not high end anymore. Technology is hard to chase but let me show the specs of my thing.

Windos vista OS, 14.1-inch widescreen WXGA TFT display powered by Intel’s Core 2 Duo Processor T5500, with 2.5 gb memory, a built-in webcam, microphone and speaker, wifi ready.

Not to get behind on the trend, I also use this for having fun. Lan games, and online games is my output when bored and idle. And of course for my movie marathon that i usually do most of the time.

Dad too!

Maybe my dad is envious when we use our laptops and my brother in his computer in our wifi hotspot house (yup! we actually made our house wifi hotspot), he also bought one for him to use. I know not because of the "envious" thing but for his growing business. He have to keep track on everything on his business like inventories, company orders, sales, designs, and collectibles. He spends a lot of time going through his documents and spreadsheets, including plans for future family leisure, and travels.

Like me, he also loves to play games on his laptop during his free time. Puzzles and mind games, and even watching movies alone.

So? is it luxury? It’s a need right?

My Moto Q 9h

2009-07-19T20:14:00.000-07:00

Because of my need of an organizer for my job and other stuff, my moto q 9h fits perfectly for me. Running with windows mobile, having a qwerty keypad and installed with ms word, excel, powerpoint or presentation, and notepad, I have no problem at all writing all the stuff I need for my job like reports and list to do. I can also use the internet through my phone using the internet explorer and opera, even chatting with my friends with my yahoo! to go.

Camera and windows media player
Capturing every moments that are worth remembering and keeping, with just one press of my moto q 9h, my camera phone does it all. The 2.0 megapixel cam shoots very fine with a very high quality and high resolution photo that can reach up to 1600x1200, and can also record videos without pixelating while moving.
while bored and in the mood of listening to my soothing and relaxing music, my moto q 9h with its windows media player plays its role for me. It can play audio formats like mp3, wma, and wav. Not only music but also my favorite mtv's and mini movies with the formats 3gp, mp4, and wmv.

File transfer
Transferring files from my phone to my pc or from my pc to my phone is no problemo! Using a usb cord, my phone can synchronize in an instant and ready for downloads and uploads. I can also transfer files directly through my mini sad card with my card reader, or with my Bluetooth device running up to 2.0.

Protection
My moto q 9h is also equipped and protected with mcaffee anti-virus. Updated regularly through the internet, this anti-virus can block and terminate incoming viruses.

Of course a phone! All in one.
Yes it is! a phone indeed. All the stuff I need, in just one device in the palm of my hand ha-ha!

Filipino Prisoners Dances Michael Jackson’s Thriller

2009-07-19T20:02:00.002-07:00

They are only prisoners but they are becoming popular, not because of their cases but because of what they did inside the prison.

Located in Cebu, Philippines, Filipino prisoners gathered in their ground and danced their idols song Michael Jackson’s Thriller. The one who taught them is their inmate who is also a dancer and an avid fan of Michael Jackson. It’s very nice seeing them dance and not just selected prisoners but all of the prisoners. You can see their unity and their cooperation to perform this dance and song number.

This has become a project of the CPDRC or Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center and I think prisoners are also receiving money from the visitors who wants to see them perform in their very eyes, locals and even foreigners.

Watch this amazing video (youtube).
