Ain't No Reason

Ain't No Reason by Brett Dennen


This song is very powerful. It will make you realize that most of us are being apathetic about social issues.

Another Day in Spa

Last Friday my friend Mitch and I decided to go to Callospa. It was my third time there and I really enjoy the experience that's why I always recommend it to my friends. It's only few minutes here in our house.

The usual package that I avail is the Affordable Escape Package for only PhP650.00 ($15.00). It says that the package would take 2 hours but if you're lucky and you go there with only few guests you can definitely extend the hours. On my first visit with my hubby and my last visit with Mitch, we spent 3-4 hours in the spa. Affordable Escape Package starts with a regular hot bath on hydro massage showers. If those of you who don't know what it is, it's a shower room where there's a bed that you can lay down and the shower sprinkle at your back with pressure. Next to it is the sauna bath (I love this!). On their brochure it only says 15 minutes in sauna bath but I usually stay there longer,about 30 minutes or so. They will give you a cold water to drink so you won't get dehydrated. After the sauna bath, another 15 minutes in soothing Herbal American lemon grass scented steam room. A luxurious hot Jacuzzi with floating kafir leaves,pandan and AHA rich calamansi tops your baths. Then you take a shower and be ready for a relaxing 1 hour of combined shiatsu - Swedish-reflex Thai massage.

They have other packages but Affordable Escape is indeed affordable and worth it.

The One Who Got Away

They say that all of us has someone whom we consider "the one who got away" whether it's an ex-bf, ex-husband or a very close friend. A person whom we shared special memories. A person who will always have a special spot in your heart. You might be happily married or in a relationship now but that someone will always makes you smile when you think of that person.

As for me anyways, I have this someone whom I consider "the one who got away" in my life. I got to know him better during the time that I really need a friend.

He was my team mate when I was working in a call center. I know a lot of girls like him because he's really friendly to girls and maybe with his looks as well but for me he was just an ordinary guy or even worst I found him arrogant in someways but we managed to become friends.

December 2005 when I broke up with my ex-bf and my ex-bf stalked me almost everyday. He was the one who was there for me. He was the one who will think of ways on how to avoid my ex-bf and be with me until it's safe to go home. At first I didn't feel anything for him, I still remember what I've told him before "ano ba nagugustuhan sayo ng mga babae eh ang yabang mo", I said this in serious voice.

We were always together, everyday after our shift we go to the mall near our office and stroll, eat and sometimes watch movie, that's our everyday routine. There are times that we were with our team mates and drink with them. He told me a lot of things about himself. A lot of people noticed our closeness. People would ask if we're in a relationship and if I said no, they will asked if I like him and still say no. It took a while for me to realized that he's already special to me. I never bothered to think of what he feels for me and what I feel for him all i knew was I am happy being with him like that and not asking for anything more that's why I didn't bother to think but as people kept on bombarding me made me think of what I really feel for him. Then one day I finally admitted to myself that I've fallen for him. Most of our friends already knew what I feel for him and I'm pretty sure he already knew it but we never talked about it.

Months past, we stayed that way until both of us decided to left the company that we're working and transfer to another company. We we're still working in the same company but in different account and he already got promoted. He became too busy and everything started to changed. I begun missing him, I'm seeing him past by everyday but there were only few instances that he will drop by at my station to say hello. It hurts me so I decided to resigned and transfer to another company without letting him know but he just found out after few days.

Now we have separate life, I'm happily married and he's in a relationship but there's still a lot of things that reminds me of him and makes me smile. I treasure the memories that we shared together, I never regret not ending up with him because I'm happy now and I'm lucky with my husband, that's why he's "the one who got away".

Western Digital Ships First 2.5-inch 1TB Hard Drive

While I was doing my transcribing work, I heard the speaker on the audio talks about this powerful hard drive and sounds interesting to me. So I stop what I'm doing and research for Western Digital Hard Drive. What capture my attention is not because of this being compact but because it is 750 GB. Wow!

Finds application in select notebooks and external storage devices.

Western Digital has announced two new mobile hard drives in the 2.5-inch form factor featuring 1TB and 750GB capacities. The new drives belong to Scoprio Blue lineup of internal hard drives from the outfit and sport 333GB/platter.

The new WD Scorpio Blue 750GB & 1TB Hard Drives have a 12.5mm height (9.5mm is the standard). As a result, their application is kind of restricted to select notebooks and small form factor PCs which support that size. But the biggest revolution is expected to happen in the portable & external storage space. WD is all set to roll out 750GB & 1TB versions of My Passport Essential SE Portable USB Drives.

Pricing & Availability:

WD Scorpio Blue 750GB (model no. WD7500KEVT) drives are now available through select distributors and resellers. It would be more difficult to get your hands on the 1TB version (model no. WD10TEVT) though. They will be available in the form of My Passport Essential SE USB drive only (atleast for now). Western Digital's MSRP for the WD Scorpio Blue 1TB & 750GB drives are $249.99 and $189.99

SM Megamall WiFi Testing

I was at Megamall this afternoon for the WiFi testing. I used my Nokia N82 and mitch's laptop for the WiFi test.

Using my phone, I tried to accessed Yahoo Messenger,Pinoy Exchange, Multiply and Yahoo Mail. It was not fast for those website except for YM. I was not abled to access Yahoo Mail with my phone with their WiFi.

Using laptop, I was able to accessed YM,Pinoy Exchange, Facebook, Friendster, Multiply, Gmail and Yahoo Mail. I was able to accessed those website but still it was not fast enough. See the speedtest below.



They said that WiFi at Megamall is already 80% up and in a month it will be 100% up. Hopefully the speed will improve. Still, I'm happy that Megamall is now WiFi ready. :)

The event started at 1:00pm and the raffle draw started at 5pm, unfortunately I didn't win any prices but that's alright, we were able to enjoy a free Sprite and chicken sandwich from Mister Donut.

Next SM WiFi launching will be at SM Fairview and SM Pampanga simultaneously on July 11.

My Photo Editing Hobby

Photo editing is one of my hobby. When I see photos of my friends that I want to edit, I saved it from their multiply and edit it.

Here are few samples of my work :)

Taxi Receipt in the Philippines

Issuing taxi receipt is one of the excellent program of LTFRB. I know that most of us has a story to tell about having a bad experienced riding a taxi. Either the meter is so fast, the driver has an attitude, etc. Taxi receipt will definitely prevent drivers to cheat with their meters.

Under the program, taxi receipts must contain the name of the operator and taxi driver, the cab’s license plate, the passenger’s destination and the total fare paid.

My friend just rode a taxi issuing a taxi receipt. According to the driver the operator decided to get the meter now to avoid the inconvenience it's bound to bring once the LTFB formally announces in December that all cabs should have one. It cost P12,000 - 18,000 per unit. I know its a bit expensive but hey, operators you have a business, so putting this kind of meter is just an investment. i'm pretty sure that passengers prefer to ride in taxi with this type of meter.

Kudos to LTFRB and operators who already install this type of meter on their taxi/s.
