John 3:16

Some atheist fan page on Facebook shared this video earlier today and before I even opened it, I immediately assumed that the comments of this video are disabled, as well as this video received so many dislikes. --- I am correct.


Let me guess why this is for many religious videos online:

1. Atheists and people who are reasonable dislikes these videos.
2. Religious organizations keep on disabling comments because they do not have any good replies to combat comments that do make sense.

And with that, I thank you.

I'm back!

Internet -- How has it been! It's always have been this idea of mine to go back and write again with my blog. I have this site for so long and I still have one and a half years left on my domain before renewal, so I guess my comeback is inevitable.

Can you imagine that my last post before this is 7 months ago. 7 months. Two more months a baby could have been born. Anyway, life has just been pretty busy for me since I moved back to the Philippines. I know I should do a proper review after my first year back here again, but let me tell you today that my life is in a complete turnaround. I hope this still gets better.

So, what plans do I have with this comeback? Well I couldn't promise anything big, but what I am planning to do is to finish any articles that is pending on the site. I think there are around 3 of those. But I guess I couldn't finish them all in a week, so probably the new posts that you will be seeing are new posts, where I assume very short new posts of some random opinion I will have with things.

I promised myself that I should be creating at least three blog posts a week. I want to do this because of [1] ad revenues, and [2] to make me feel that I am being productive. Work is so hectic recently but I still do want to do something different, but at the same time doing what I love.

While I am here, I hope you did not miss my one and only post on The Verge, [it's just a forum post that looks like an article] and I plan on posting something there in the future, and I don't even know if I will be allowed to do redirection to this blog.

Anyway, See you in my future posts!

some thoughts about going home

Tuesday, June 14, 2011 Comments Categories: ,


I have traveled a lot before, but I never really wrote about it. So I decide to try it today. It maybe the most boring thing you'll ever read on the internet, but that's fine -- you don't have to read it if you don't want to.

So, I recently went back home to the Philippines. No other flights could have been any longer than what I have experienced, as I traveled literally halfway across the earth. The timezones from where I was compared to the Philippines are exactly opposite of each other. If it's 6AM where I came from, it's 6PM in the Philippines. So yeah. Let's revisit my journey, shall we?

It is not just about pixel density

Borrowing my little brother's laptop, and when I mean borrowing I meant using it while he's away, I just can't wait to show you guys quickly about this revelation I had with display technologies.

It turns out,it's not just about pixel density after all.It also matters what technology your screen have. Having seen the Nexus S 4G, a phone that sports Samsung's Super AMOLED display technology, I immediately can see the difference with the display on my phone, which is Super LCD.

I glimpsed a TV show today tittled "What Would You Do?"  and basically what they do is that they cause different scenarios, and they are capturing different people's reactions on what they were seeing. The episode I watched today involves some applicants being interviewed for a job in a restaurant, only not being accepted because they were wearing something that their religion is prohibiting them to be unworn. So, is that discrimination? Here's my take.

Updating the HTC Surround to NoDo

Tuesday, May 03, 2011 Comments Categories:


I saw a tweet from Joe Belfiore hours ago stating that the HTC Surround has finally able to get the long awaited NoDo update. Now that I am not a NoDo virgin, I actually have gotten myself one of the hacks to enable the update to come sooner, but there's no better feeling to receive the official update, as HTC and AT&T delivered some extra goodies with this update as well.

So you may ask, how did I revert back from 7390(nodo) to 7008(pre-nodo)? Well, it's actually easy. The Zune Software runs a backup of your current state whenever you do an update, so in this case I had one right before I updated to the generic 7390 update. I only had 7008 backed up instead of the much older 7004.


Now I have reverted to 7008 days ago, since Microsoft updated the Surround to "Scheduling" phase. I can see a prompt that an update is available to 7390 back then, and I suspect that is showing because I have debranded my device, and just today I have modified a CustClear.xml to add "ATT-US" thus rebranding my phone again.

iPad 2 review

The iPad 2. Successor of the tablet that went from being a complete joke to one of the best-selling device in tech history. I never thought I would lay my eyes with one of these things, but here I am, already reviewing it. So go ahead and join me in this magical journey (Apple’s word not mine) into the review of the iPad 2.
