Apple Unveils The iPad Mini

Christmas season has started. I suggest you start playing the good little boys and girls that you are so you can actually ask Santa for an iPad Mini! Go wash the dishes, chop chop!

Apple has just announced the arrival of the iPad Mini at their 2012 Press Conference. It is indeed smaller, thinner and manufactured with the same process as the iPad 5. No retina display, though. I have a feeling all the teenagers and kids around the world will be hoarding their allowances and cash gifts to buy this! (Or perhaps complain incessantly to their parents to buy them one)

 It is actually more affordable at $329 for the 16GB WiFi version. Although I don't think the $329 is worth it considering the features aren't good enough. I think this would be more of a fad-sell rather than buying it for its features.

My iPad 2 actually has been subject to abuse from my boys, so I wonder how the iPad Mini will be able to handle wear and tear. Slimmer, smaller and definitely looks more fragile. 

The camera is a dinosaur at only 5 megapixels. Do they really expect everyone to just Instagram photos taken by a lousy iPad camera? Why don't they just get the same camera from the iPhone and plug it in the iPad? People will be willing to pay for that kind of quality rather than lose significant impromptu moments that they may need a gadget in hand. 

This new iPad isn't as life-changing as other Apple products. It seems it's not exactly worth the price tag.

Kahit Maputi Na Ang Buhok Ko

Sa lugawan ngayong umaga, nakasabay kong kumain ang isang mag-asawang Lolo at Lola, mga nasa 80+ years old siguro.

Lola: Pabili po ng isang lugaw.
Tindera: Isa lang?
Lolo: Oo. 
Lola: Ayan, share tayo. 

Naghati sila sa maliit na bowl ng mainit at masarap na lugaw. Nung nangalahati na yung bowl, binigay na nya kay Lola at sinabing "sa yo na, ayaw ko na" kahit obvious naman na konti lang ang kinain nya. Ewan ko ba pero sweet na sweet ako pag nakakakita ako ng mga thunders na ganito mag-care sa isa't isa. Promise, kinilig kami ng tindera ng bongga. Parang biglang tumugtog yung "kahit maputi na ang buhok ko" sa background habang pinapanood namin sila at touched na touched kami.

it's considered a blessing to live a long life, and an even bigger blessing to have someone who loves and cares for you in the golden years :)

No to the Libel Clause in the Cybercrime Law!

When the cyberlibel goes into effect tomorrow, here are my suggestions how to go around the said bill: 

1. Beki-speak. 
Ex: "Kalukis itechiwa Gobyerlalu, Wititit na pwede humanash ng kung anik anik. Kundi Kulongbels na. Ano ve? puro mga eklavu. Tegiboom boom na Karapatsina!" - Kung beki ang pulitiko, mage-get pa rin nila pero good luck sa hearing na puro beki speak ang libelous quotes hahaha

2. Jeje-speak.

Ex: Ta3na nhman pohwz ang mHayOwr nm!n d2, WLa PakinaBangz AMP! Ghow to Hellz mHayOwr!

3. Pauso ng Codes

pwede din gamitin ang FLAMES, HOPE, JAPAN and LOVE

Number codes, pati na rin morse code lol

ex: Fuguck Thigis Puguliguticus (I hope you get this one)

4. Gumamit ng Sarcasm
Ex: Wow, the best talaga si Tito Sotto at lahat ng nagpasa ng cybercrime bill. I love them so so so much!! Wooo idol!

One man's ego was bruised and every Filipino has to suffer. Hay talaga nga naman.
