Nokia 5110 and Nokia 5110i

(This story is happened, way back around, March 1999. It was 11 years.)

My very first cellphone (cellular phone) was Nokia 5110i. Nokia 5110i was given to me by my parents as a high school graduation gift. The sim card I use at the time is powered by Globe Telecom.

Nokia 5110 and Nokia 5110i has the same features. The only difference is the small letter i.

The cellphone I want at the time my parents is looking for cellphone, is Nokia 3310. I don't know reasons why my parents don't like aforementioned cellphone.

The sim card, for my soon-to-be-cellphone, is Smart Communications. I don't know reasons why my Smart Communications.

The sim card is free, when you buy a cellphone. We bought the cellphone, and the sim card, at Greenhills, San Juan.

I have nothing against any of the companies; I'm only sharing my thoughts.

Is E-mail Dying?

Multisource political news, world news, and entertainment news analysis by Newsy.com

The honest and simple answer is: E-mail Is Not Dying. Why? Because, websites like Twitter, Facebook, Friendster, Multiply.com, and other social networking websites needs an active e-mail account to register, and receive messages from the people behind these websites.

And also, websites like online forums, online photo websotes and many other websotes needs an active e-mail account to register, and receive messages from the people behind these websites.

Meaning, you cannot register to these websites if you do not have an active e-mail account.

On Friendster and Facebook.

I learned about Friendster, when my cousin posted something about Friendster, on the mailing list I currently joined. I subscribed, I have two/2 accounts.

My first/1st Friendster account, I have many friends, including my relatives, classmates, neighbors, friends, and people I don't know. On my second/2nd Friendster account, I do only have relatives, neighbors, friends.

And there's Facebook. I have many Facebook accounts, but I maintained one/1 account. Since then, I am spending more time in Facebook than Friendster.

I have accounts on other social networking websites.

MRT this morning.

Buwisit ako kaninang umaga, kasi hindi ko alam ang (mga) problema sa MRT. Imbes na makarating ako sa MRT Shaw Boulevard Station ng maaga, dumating ako dun, ng almost 15 minutes. Kaya ang ginawa ko, nag-ordianru byus ako from MRT North Avenue Station hanggang MRT Shaw Boulevard Station.

May nakita akong MRT train pa-north, pero konti lang nag mga pasahero. May nakita akong MRT train pa-south, may karamihan ang mga pasahero. Nang umaakyat ako ng hagdanan malapit sa Starmall sa MRT Shaw Boulevard Station, may nakita akong MRT train na tayuan.

Chowking’s Orange Chicken

I like Chowking’s Orange Chicken, the one Jericho Rosales currently endorse. I tried the Orange Chicken Lauriat in Starmall, Mandaluyong City, near the MRT Shaw Boulevard Station.

It was somehow delicious. The skin of the Orange Chicken is quite crispy/crunchy. For me, it was somehow more delicious with the orange sauce.

The Orange Chicken I ate is costs 84 Php (84 pesos). It includes with a drink.

Inception (film)

I don’t know if I consider Christopher Nolan's Inception, as a psychological thriller or not. It’s hard for me to completely understand or grasp a particular idea, especially if you’re not a fan of this kind of genre.

Inception is now one of my favorite movies. Among Christopher Nolan’s films, number 1 is Inception, and then at number 2 are Batman Begins and The Dark Knight.

Christopher Nolan's Inception, starring Leonardo DiCapio, is one of the best movies this year.

Inception is a bad-@$$ flick.

I watched the movie in TriNoma, Quezon City, Philippines.

Cornelia Funke’s The Thief Lord

Cornelia Funke’s book, The Thief Lord, is a good read. This book is now one of my favorite books.

I have two/2 reasons why I read the book. 1) The first/1st reason is that I had this curiosity what the story The Thief Lord has. 2) The second/2nd reason is that Cornelia Funke is the author of the Inkworld trilogy*.

I’m sorry for not giving any spoilers, due to that some people do already have the book, but they didn’t read the book yet.

Some of you may ask, “‘The Thief Lord’ is a children’s book, why did you read the book?” And some of you will ask “ ‘The Thief Lord’ is a book for children, why did you ever bother to read the book?”

My answers are these: I already answered the questions. See the second/2nd paragraph.

Note:
* The first/1st book of the Inkheart trilogy, Inkheart, is made into a movie, starring, Brendan Fraser.

Post-Basyang: Blackout

Originally, I was going to update last Wednesday, July 14. Due to Typhoon Basyang, I wasn’t able to update this blog of mine.

Almost one day that we have no electricity. I don’t know if the blackout is Metro-wide, or Luzon-wide.

Short notice

I’m sorry for not updating my blog. I’m quite busy for the past few days. One reason is that, my older brother just got married.

I’m not making promises. I try to update this blog of mine, as sooner as I can. And I try to create updates, as sooner as I can.

'Twilight' Movie a Box Office Disappointment

Multisource political news, world news, and entertainment news analysis by Newsy.com

I admit that I didn't finished reading the last book, 'Midnight Sun', for me, the Twilight Saga books are sucks.

I admit that I haven't seen Eclipse yet, the first 2 films suck. The first film doesn’t deserve any of its awards, which the 'Twilight' movie won. The 'Twilight' movie should win its Razzie awards nominations. While on the other hand, ‘New Moon’ doesn’t deserve its awards. The ‘New Moon’ movie should win its Razzie award nominations.

June 25 until June 28

Last June 27, Saturday, I went again to Powerbooks on Greenbelt in Makati. I went there because for two reasons: 1) to return a book called 2005-2006 Labor Code of the Philippines, and a book about wine drinker’s diet with making the best out of your favorite wine; 2) and to exchange the other 12 books I brought.

And also, it was the 1st time that my nephew celebrated his birthday here in the Philippines, and celebrated at Jollibee, Bluewave.

Nestlé Wellness

I just attended the 2-day event of Nestlé Wellness on Halls 2 & 3 of SM Megamall. I learned this event, via on the website of Mega Trade Hall. On the website, you see that the aforementioned event is ion Hall 1⁰. But when I was there today, the event is on Halls 2 & 3⁰.

There are activities both for adults and for kids. There are many booths: there are 3 booths for picture-taking¹; games²; face-painting³; 2 small groceries for the Nestle products; a stage; there are booths for free tasting; there are also demos; there are two/2 stages⁴, and others⁵.

I bet that my parents will not allow me to go back tomorrow, to the aforementioned event. One/1 reason is that. “You’ve/You’d/You already went there yesterday, why you have to go back there?”^*1 I don’t know what will be my answer or answers to the question, if I want to go back there. I bet that my parents will not go to the event. If I ask them if they want to go to the event, they might say this: “Ano ang gagawin namin dun?”^*2

One reason I went there because I thought it was the 4^th/fourth year of PASOO Wellness Summit.⁶ When I was on the 5^th/fifth floor of the aforementioned shopping mall; I learned that Nestlé Philippines conducted the aforementioned event.

Notes:
⁰ Sources: SM Megamall’s Mega Trade Halls 2 & 3, Nestle blogs.
¹ Activity 2 has two/2 booths: Nestlé KitKat; I didn’t check the nearby booth. Activity 1 has Nestlé NesTea. On this booth, if you have a Facebook account, sign-up on the middle and last tables with each laptop with a piece of paper with “WITH FACEBOOK”, and the first/1^st with laptop with a piece of paper with “WITHOUTH FACEBOOK”. If you don’t to fall in line, you have the option to buy a 20/twenty peso Nestlé KitKat. Otherwise, fall in line to play a touch-screen puzzle with the ocver of Nestlé KitKat.
² Nintendo Wii powered-Hoola-hoop and Nintendo Wii powered-Bowling. On Nintendo Wii powered-Bowling, I got a small Nestlé-labeled notepad. The third/3^rd game is two/2 mechanical-powered bicycles. I’m clueless to explain this game. All of these games are on Activity 2.
³ Face-painting for kids; I’m not sure on adults.
⁴ I’m clueless on the stage near the Entrance area. The stage near the Redemption Area and Exit Area; has schedules.
⁵ Choose Wellness Club; Nestlé Club, please visit the website for more information: http://www.nestle.com.ph/recipe/nestleclub/default.asp; there is a booth selling a bottle with already-contained Iced Tea (with various colors to chhoose), plus a small Iced Tea sachet, this costs only 50 (fifty pesos); 2/two sections of health: first/1^st section Health & Weight, and BP, and the 2^nd/second section is consultation; I forgot the others.
⁶ I attended PASOO Wellness Summit in SM Megamall’s Mega Trade Hall.

Harry Potter 'Deathly Hallows' Trailer Goes Viral

Multisource political news, world news, and entertainment news analysis by Newsy.com

The 7th two-part film/s is the darkest of them all. Why? Because the books are getting darker.

I read the 1st book for curiosity, after I watched the first film. I have strong feelings that they, the filmmakers will do justifiable adaptation of the 7th book. And I admit that, I have to accept that they altered some subplots, removed some subplots and add some subplots.

Although there are scenes, dialogue, and other materials are not suitable for dchildren, tweens, and early teens.

Multisource political news, world news, and entertainment news analysis by Newsy.com

I don’t watch Larry King Live, or any programs being aired by CNN. But for me, Larry King is a big loss for CNN.

Larry King has his own reasons why he’s leaving the network. It will depends on CNN, if either they will replace him or start a new show.
