Barangay elections

I applaud the recently finished bgy.elections in our area. Apart from being peaceful, it didn't create any noise whatsoever.  I do appreciate this kind of election activities. I guess, may the best candidate, truly-selected by the people to win. I vote for people who I believe deserve to be there, based on platform and public service. There are some who obviously tends to make the barangay post as a career, in the absence of platforms. As long as the dedication to this chosen career works, and dedication to public service is what is really the intent, then, I am truly for these candidates.

Sharmila - Seaside

I had just wanted to have seafoods dinner with the family, and my baby wants to have tempura, so we decided to have a dinner in seaside macapagal. This is also for my kid and my post-birthday celebration dinner. First of all, I was the one who selected this among tons of restos there. It was just a recall from past recommendations regarding this resto, so we gave it a shot. To sum this all up. Food Service was bad since it took us almost 1 hour to wait for our food to be served. The children were hungry. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant and would just opt to take the other ones that are empty instead. We had experienced Trinity before, so I think this is far better in terms of service, instead.

Iphone 4

Just recently, I upgraded my postpaid plan to avail of the new iphone 4. I know that this is some kind of old, but old doesn't necessarily mean that it's sub par - and I got it for free. Kudos to my second kuz who works there in the wireless center for facilitating my request. It helps that you know somebody from the inside too. I have availed of this for my retention, but every time it is unsuccessful because of un-availability of units to provide. All-in-all, I am so happy with this new unit. I must admit that I prefer apple over android due to it's simplicity and basic features. It's like if you want ease of use without the unnecessary extras, then, the iphone is simply for you.

Fiestas

When may comes every year, our town/parish celebrates the fiesta. However, of all the celebrations that comes every year, this one is the most un-appealing to me. We have stopped inviting over guests to our house for lunch/dinner during this day, ever-since ages ago. And the event is somewhat boring and as what I said earlier, routinary. In fairness also, when I was younger I enjoyed this celebration. I can see that a lot of the younger ones would enjoy this event. There are a lot of programmes, pre-day activities as well as on the day activities that the younger ones would surely appreciate. One thing I do look forward to though is my mom's kare-kare, and of course with the bagoong and nothing else.

Elections 2013 - Post-analysis

"The government you elect, is the government you deserve" I just happen to have coined this from a post in facebook and I am not really sure from who or where it was quoted from. But it's somewhat powerful, direct, and straight-to-the-point right. I just happen to have practiced my right as a citizen of this country/municipality recently by voting. I have to admit, I never really took the the time to prepare my list months/weeks before the election. Never took it seriously: the campaigns, the debates it never piqued my interest. I also find one senatoriable's TV ad quite catchy but corny, but at least it's catcy and unfortunately, it never got that candidate enough votes to earn him a spot in the senate. I just prepared my list on the election day itself (at least I did prepare). One thing I would like to pat my back on is that I tried my darnedest best to review each candidates profile. to know their platforms, their stand on certain issues. Based on my revie...

my new mobile phone

At last, I have already purchased and selected a new phone and what's great about it is that it wasn't in the list I have provided earlier this week. But, it's still an android phone nonetheless. It's the Huawei Y300 phone which is actually a new released model from the Chinese mobile giant. What's good about it is that it's very cheap for the features it have. Already dual-core processor with 512 MB internal RAM. The RAM is the only-downside, but nevertheless if you are just after the phone for making calls, SMS, a little multi-media, web surfing, and a little gaming just like me then this phone is definitely for you. One good thing though is that skype videocalling and google hangouts work on this unit too which is a good factor. And the design and size fits like an iphone to me.

I need a mobile phone replacement

I need to have an idea of what I need to have as a replacement for my two year old huawei phone. Since the phone I am using right now is a little obsolete already, It all boils down to the following choices (excluding iphone 5, of course). Since I am looking into android jelly bean, here are my top choices: Cherry Mobile Omega HD - budget-wise this fits but am having reservations with the quality since Cherry Mobile is just a re-brand of a chinese mobile brand. But what isn't made in China anymore? Cherry Mobile Flame 2.0 - budget-wise also fits and this also is already a quad-core device. Slightly lower in price as compared to the one above, this is also a new line of android phone from cherry mobile. Nexus 4 - (only when it's available via installment) Reviews have been great for this device. However the price is what makes it quite unrealistic for me. This phone sets the bar high. HTC Butterfly - the most expensive of the four, I might say. But this is being offered i...
