First Ever Mother Board Repair/Resurrection

Yesterday i created a new rig, by combining remnants of a defective pc..an acer aspire pc died, it turned out the motherboard can no longer be saved, because it has too many bloated (bulging) capacitors, a forum inform me that 5+ bloated capacitor in a board is no longer a viable candidate for resurrection, so i took the parts that are still working fine (processor, memory and hard disk and the psu and locate my old emaxx board.

i had an emaxx board that went died also last month with one bloated capacitor near the ram slot. after observing the capacitors (its specification..cf, watts etc..) i notice that the cap is the same in specification on my dead asus video card..after researching more, i know i have a big chance of restoring this board and pair it with the remaining parts of the acer rig..

my buddy JR volunteered to do the soldering (next time i will do this, as i yet to experience it)..hehe

i had to jump start the mobo (without a casing; first time also) and it booted up!! yeah!!haha

but the temperature was too high that the system automatically shuts off..

i had to purchase a cheap hsf to check if the mobo would be stable, and last night bebeh was able to install all needed software to make the new rig work, and no single restart ever occured so i guess my emaxx is back!

BSOD on APCI.sys

Problem: BSOD and a long list of technical error with APCI.sys on the end..when you boot on safemode the computer hangs on MUP.sys

there are lot of possible errors (hardware and software alike)but in my case a corrupted driver system,

here is what fixed my problem:

1. boot on xp installation disc (make sure to set bios to boot on cd/dvd)
2. choose repair console (pressing r after the disc installation boots completely)
3. choose what xp installation you want to repair (normally just press 1) leave or press enter if you don't have a password on the password part.
4. type chkdsk /p /r (it will take for a while to perform, mine took 15 minutes- indicating a lot errors on my system files)
5. type exit on the command prompt after the operation.

kukram (DDR2)

i was forced to buy an unknown brand, because i was lazy to look for other shops..hehe they gave me this kukram (made in hongkong) way cheaper than known brand like kingston, i had to upgrade bebeh's rig to make it run more smoother, so i took the risk..

guess what? after merely 5 hours of using it., it broke down..:(

in the end i replace it with a more known brand, (dynet)

3 IDIOTS

contrary to its title the film is brilliant, the singing and dancing scenes though will have me needing more time getting used to, from what I understand it is very common to Bollywood films actually this is only the second bollywood that i have seen (first - slum dog millionaire 9/10), and time and time again it has proven that the best and essential part of the complex process of making a great movie is the story itself.


9.5/10

Get Him to the Greek

raunchy comedy, i believe it is a pre-quel or sequel or spin-off to the movie forgetting sarah marshall (7/10)..quite funny at times but i find it more dramatic towards the in..hahaha

Practical Bday Present

Bebeh gave me some treats (not actually a fun treat because of the pain and annoying noise and feeling of drilling your tooth)..hehe but it is a very practical one..

oral hygiene that we usually ignore (for me its the financial block that stumbles my regular visit to the dentist. but i hope this will be a start of a regular visit to save my few teeth that are still surviving..hehe i already lost 5 molars..hope the casualty ends..

thank you bebeh! love you much

Epson T10 orange led blinking error (CISS)

solutions: check the cables or the hose of the CISS it might be causing blockage or interference in
the movement of the printhead section.

re-seat the cartridges

clean the printer's roller if possible use blowers or if you are familiar with disassembling the printer to see clearly if any mechanical parts are malfunctioning or have physical defects

check for paper bits and other foreign matters

Robin Hood (2010)

They tried to make a real hero out of myth/legend and for some fans they paid it dearly.

To me it was alright to relate a legend into a more realistic approach. I find the movie entertaining and hold a grip of some bits of reality.

More real and more entertaining.

Canon Pixma IP 1980 blinking error

Problem: the orange (amber) led (resume buttom) blinks 5 times then the green blinks [5-1] interval..

Cause: one of the cartridge(usually the color one no.41) is causing the error

Resolution: change the cartridge (buy a new one)..


happen to me twice already..both instance the color is at fault

+ note i refill the cartridge hence the problem arise, as you cannot refill the cartridge in infinite mode..

thanks to tita! hehe

Black Death

Yes, the title of movie is the main theme; the infamous "Black Death", others called the Great Pestilence or the Great Plague, widely believed as the Bubonic Plague that almost wipe the entire population of human race especially in Europe during Medieval times.

The movie tells the interesting stories of faith (Christianity and Paganism), witchcraft, love and miracles - the need for it in times of desperation and how it can be misleading in times such as.

Sean Bean put an impressive performance again, I'm getting used to see him play medieval character since LORT, he's a sure fit in these types of roles.

I've heard the director (Smith)has created some good horror films, but this is my first movie of him, evidently you can see a lot of horror elements in the film. The cinematography is good, and of course the screenplay is superb. Definitely one of the best film I've seen lately.

Potato is on the top list followed by tomatoes (considered as the most popular vegetable/fruit/crop in the world.

Tekken Movie (2010)

It was not bad after all, it could have been better but not bad, as I read lots of comments from fans comparing the movie to Dragon Ball Z movie (an epic fail of capturing a great anime into live motion picture).

I had low expectation since then, which became an advantage to me when i finally saw it in the big screen (low expectation = low frustration). Good choice of character, although Jin was introduce as a boy next door type, still in the fight scenes he did justice, Christine Monteiro character was played by a sizzling hot actress Kely Overton. Heihachi was so close in resemblance with the original character, and also with the lesser character they did a good job (in casting). I just find the story and the final battles short.

Still recommendable, but just follow what I did, expect less, and gain more at the end.

My rating: 6/10

Buwan ng Wika 2010

I made this yesterday for a local elementary school.




They made some revision/suggestion and here is the second product.

The Runaways

It's a biographical film featuring the all girl rock band, who wanted to have a spot on a decade where rock n roll is dominated by men. It showcased their struggle and their short-lived fame.

The film is also hit its target illustrating the culture of the controversial rock n' roll music, I am sure many are familiar with the song "I love rock n Roll", who later Joan Jett release after the Runways disbanded.


I felt a little tired or burn out after watching this movie, maybe its the effect of a good directing of the film. Somehow I felt the character's struggle during their juvenile years. Still a recommendable movie.

Trip to Cagayan Valley

ROAD BLOCK
We are so excited to travel but series of events change our mood into disgust, heavy rains pouring in Urdaneta City, the first bus could not accommodate us, we had to wait for 30 minutes or more in an umbrella pounded by heavy rains carrying our baggages.
When the bus arrived (ordinary) we had no choice but to board in to escape the rain. We thought that was start of a nice road trip, but after 3 hours of travelling the worst traffic experience I had in my life came, we are immobile for 4 agonizing hours! (ordinary bus = oven toaster) though it was a night trip the humid atmosphere is there the rain dig not help at all because you have to close every window.

The traffic was caused by a road repair but worsen by undisciplined drivers who could not wait for their turn and tried to make their until a huge bottle neck emerge ( a trailer derailed due to miscalculated loop).

When the bus got out of traffic I thought our misfortune is over but heck the bus broke! the driver is unwilling to explain what happen only told us that the bus could no longer travel, we had to transfer. Morning already broke when a transfer bus reach where we are stuck for an hour.

Then series of many traffics again! so many road blocks so many road repairs and same pain in the a$$ drives who could not wait for their turn.

at last we reached Cauayan, Isabela, where bebeh grew up. it was 9:00 in the morning after 16 hours of travelling. We boarded a van for our ultimate destination, a weird van (meron conductor..haha)..We arrived at Macapagal avenue, Tuguegarao City, Cagayan at exaclty 11:30 almost 20 hours of non-stop travelling - a new personal record..

PANCIT
We had to rest for the entire afternoon after a long travel but worthy travel, bebeh got to see his little "pamangkins" and their joy replenish us quickly. In the late morning, bebeh gave me a treat, the Famous BATIL- PATONG, a special delicacy of Tuguegarao, a sautéed noodles with savory toppings.

DALIN-RETURN

Yes, it was a short trip, in the afternoon we had to pack and leave for the last bus, the cries of Dotdot made my heart heavy, even heavier for bebeh as Dotdot don't want her to leave.

Luckily the fear of another traffic nightmare is gone on our way back! A short vacation on a thousand mile land. Hopefully we could go back their and will have a longer vacation.

The Job

another dark-comedy film, it tells about jobs, odd-jobs, the ugly look of not having a stable job, the dangers of out sourcing (sub-contract) and how money (big money) can be a motivating factor to do job you are not capable or not use to doing it.

twist and turns are fantastic, very unpredictable..

The A-TEAM 2010 Movie Version

I know the famous character with a distinct haircut..and his afraid of riding helicopters at least inside it, his name is MR. T... that is what I heard as could not read yet when this popular TV series hit the box.

When I watched the latest movie adaptation, I easily recognized the quad characters, especially Baracus, (MR. T back then). It was actually at the ending credits when I heard ending voice over, and all memories shot back in..It's the A-team (we distinctly pronounce it as "itim" - the word I heard every time we watch it back then).

Very entertaining movie, action pack! very lively...


9/10

The Kung Fu Kid (aka the Karate Kid remake)

Everyone is complaining on the title of this project when it was first announced that this is the remake of the classic film Karate Kid (Ralph Macchio, Pat Morita, Elisabeth Shue.) Will everybody should be because this not a film about Karate its actually Kung fu.

This is a remake? hardly, the premise is there.. young kid, bullied and unlikely master came to rescue, but that's it. This film is short of reviving the craze of the old movie, the iconic labor training (or training muscle memory by doing chores with repetitive movements usually counter clock wise to clockwise hand movements) the wax on wax out, the painting and polishing and the famous "crane kick" finale..If they intend to remake the movie they should have stick to it rather making a kung-fu counterpart. It turns out that they only capitalize on the old film and marketed this lame movie on its proven name/title.

The young smith's acting fell short also. If not for the scenic backdrop of China and the presence of Jacky Chan, I will rate this movie lower and add a "remake fail" slogan to it..

Beauty and the Pain

trip to Nep-O, relax, breath -in breath out, steam and prick and ouch, the sandugo becomes manjaru ! but beautiful nonetheless..











Thanks to bebeh for the pampering..

13 Going 30

I had to watch this in installment (two nights) maybe I am just tired or the movie is boring (I think its a combination of both).

I think Jennifer Garner is not totally fit for the role (Or maybe I am just to accustomed to seeing her in here cool role as a seductive spy in alias).

The movies has a few similar premises like BIG 6/10, maybe it safe to call this as the female version..


6/10

The Ghost Writer

Rarely, I see films that are dialog rich (talkies type of movies) without taking yawns.

This is my second Polanski film (The Pianist -9/10 was the first)and truly some films can be labelled good without watching it first if you can see the credits with good names such as.

The exchange of dialog is superb and lively, the acting and directing is very impressive. Soundtrack and scoring is also great, all works of a genius film maker.

The subject is somewhat jaded in this time being, the war on and terror and all that, but this film is unique (maybe the European/English touch did the magic..haha

Very Recommendable..

The Last Song

Love and Music, two of common elements of life that gives us joy, although the former fades sometimes, than the latter and according to the writer of the movie it's fragile..

Here in this movie again, I was still fascinated by the charisma Miley Cyrus brings (just like her Hannah Montana 8/10) , she's not an A actor nor a hard ten bomb, but she is always likable like her songs.

The plot is nothing special more like bits of tiny pieces of life we see everyday, glued into one to give us a dramatic persuasion of the direction of the story. More like the songs, Miley regularly sings.

RIP Redford White

A great comedian, I used to follow his TV series (Buddy n' Sol) with Eric Quezon, I miss those good old days, the shows are much better..

Rest in Peace, a humble man..

Abs Link

The Shortcut

surprisingly good, I had low expectation on this film considering it is not made or distributed by the popular outfits, and not starred by marque names either, but the story is interesting and the employment of flashback from the past to the present, thrilled me. The usual element of horror are present but more realistic,less gore, but still freaky, the ending and the pre-climax to climax scenes are very amusing.(the movie - not the scene itself because it is quite disturbing)..


7/10

Brooklyn's Finest

Realistic police-drama movie, acting is great considering that this is an all-star cast after-all, Richard Gere is good as always, also the supporting cast Snipes, Don and Hawke,.. Violence, blood-bath, typical racial crime illustration and political views that are already common to police-crime movies..I think the ending is symbolic, kinda meant to me as a summary of all the bad figures we are all familiar with men in uniforms..Actually this film, focuses on struggle of some officers, Hawke's character is very typical connotation of good - (trying to be a good cop) to- bad (his situation and needs) cops here in my country. Gere's a bit unique, Don - very sad..Still a good old-styled cop movie.


7/10

Undisputed III: Redemption

Movies for the boys!, this macho movie is a total entertainer, the story line is not a Pulitzer material, but the action (fight sequence) is superb. Mix Martial Arts has never been more entertaining than this one, and the beauty of this film, is that they made it realistic, you are just like watching a MMA Championship Fight, but with the idea of who's gonna win..

Scot Adkins put up some unbelievable stunts and likable Russian ascent, I barely recognize him as the protagonist of an action film called Ninja (6/10)..But I know his name ring a bell, I will definitely follow his movies from now on!

Now I have to find some copies of parts 1 and 2..


8/10
9 - for the fight scenes

Solomon Kane

Sword and Sorcery - a genre that I newly discovered after some quick research of the film, I thought this film is a medieval zombie..I maybe the first to coin that one..haha

The film is very entertaining,(it might be subjective as Adventure/Fantasy Film *a more general genre are my favorites) a mix of some popular films/fictional character can enter to your mind upon following the story (Van Helsing *9/10, Zorro *8/10,) - , , but its has a unique flavor for its own credit.

Although this is the second time this week that I've seen a movie wherein a supposed invincible monster was defeated easily on the battle giving you a feeling of somewhat short-lived or hanging climax.

I've heard this is another epic trilogy in the making..can't wait for the second part..

Levels.. a simple trick

Here is a simple trick when you want to git rid of the grayish color of an image after you scanned a printed document and want to reprint it (much more like a photocopy) although scanners has this feature of instant copying, the output yields somewhat "dirty" or grayish background all over (takes the white or colored background and shows grayish background all over)..

after scanning (grayscale mode) often the picture on Photoshop and just follow this simple steps.

CLICK > IMAGE > ADJUSTMENT > LEVELS OR ctrl L

and adjust the input level.. the left part is the black-to-blacker (shadow) part and the right is the white -whiter (highlight) ..normally you would make this two adjustment bar meet each other in the middle just like the image below..(or input numbers in the corresponding input box just below the adjustment bar)

Clash of the Titans (2010)

Greek mythologies are tireless subject when it comes to adventure and fantasy, their vivid illustration of imaginations and mystic creatures are always interesting to learn and discover again and again, in this film the gods and demigods came to entertain us again retelling fascinating adventures unmatched with limitless imaginations. Due to technology in terms of visual effects high expectations and anticipations are now focus on who ever makes a film on such subject.

I have read lots of reviews and comments how this film became a critical failure and a dismay to most movie goers and critics. I haven't seen the 3D version so I cannot comment on that although there it seems the whole or the chunk of the throwing tomatoes came from. Many complain on how it was poorly digitalized. But the portion on which I would agree on many critics is the way they made the fights scenes somewhat less as to what we are expecting. The supposed to be climactic battle between Kraken and Perseus was short of thrilling us, the digital illustration of the monster is cool enough but with todays technology it does not give much flavor. The script is also short of entertaining and witty exchange or argument, and much of the character died easily without epic appeal to us, and lastly I think the original mythology or version of the mythical story of Perseus is far from this remake.

My Rating: 7/10

Scam Text Alert

Be careful in some text that claims they've changed their number into another network at that they need to room it and pretends to be your relative asking a favor to load the new number with some amount..

text like this should be considered or treated as scam if you can't verify the new number, best thing to do is call the number right away, don't entertain it with text replies even if he will mention some names that are credible, remember Facebook, some of your detailed info are already there ready to be exploited.

"ate..si bunso mo to, eto new roaming ko..palodan mo ng 100..thanks.."

"ne, si inay asa hospital nakitxt ako sa number nato, loadan mo sya para mabayadan ko at matawagan nadin kita

Too bad that sim cards are so cheap that con artists capitalize on it, and our TELCOS have no protection to us valid and honest subscriber, the NTC is also useless in tracing such low life as well..

I know if they will only put time to it to catch those bad guys they can, they can trace it..and can block the number at least.

Greenberg

In this film you will find a different (totally different)Stiller, the comedy, the script and entire film is surprising, the opening scene gave me a feeling that this is not a typical shallow comedy film where in what you see is what you get (or laugh).

This film reminded me of an indie film Big Momma (5/10)which, despite high critical praises coming from expert at rottentomatoes and metacritic, I just could not agree with. I'm no expert, hehe.. but I usually follow my own personal preferences in rating films, subjective you may call it, but that is just it, that is how I rate, I base it normally on personal likings.

The film is unique, very unconventional and does not follow standard approach to film making which why I think it's a hit to experts and critics, the "originality" and fresh ideas which, I think they looked unto, but to me it is just another boring film.
5/10

The Spy Next Door

In this film I think Jacky Chan's amazing stunts (fighting and climbing) are still good but it is declining but when you consider his age it is still unbelievable I think he's 56 yet his signature climbing stunts are unmatched . The story is ordinary, plot cast and acting, even effects are common. If not for Jacky this film will be rated lower.

As I normally comment on some so-so movies, It is entertaining but forgettable.

Learning Photoshop

I don't have workloads usually every morning, so I figured out some things to be done in order to be productive and here I am, learning photo manipulation through Photoshop..

In this picture, I use gausian blur filter to soften the beautiful face of my bebeh, and added bokeh picture i googled..

Valentine's Day

Hey I know it's quite late or early (defending on how you follow the calendar) for a valentine movie, but love has no season. haha..Powerhouse cast.. big names of both established and new ones (the two Taylors are here !)

Its light approach to love and comedy is quite good,and very entertaining at the same time, for a moment I thought it will be chaotic plot or unbalance as I've mention it is starred by quite handful actor but they did a good job of balancing the story and giving every major character a descent exposure and time to tell their wonderful tale in a two hour run. The last scene completes the many faces of love and relationship..

My rating

8/10

The Lost Tribe aka Lost Island

B-Movie as it can be, the actors are not familiar I can't recognize big names or ever recall the actors now, for a while I thought it can be a great film, when i saw the plot concerning a missing link wherein the Church panic for the findings of the archeologist about the missing link between humans and apes proving that God did not created humans on the sixth day, but after seeing the holy bible for a second the brilliant conflict vanished, the whole movie became like a scene from Arnold's THE PREDATOR (7/10). The appearance and infra vision of the ape men are very predator like, the deep voice and dreadnought and nothing more than a copycat monsters from previous film.


The ending is so simple, if only they opted to be more unique and creative and maybe held on to the "church thing" plot this could have been a good sci-fi horror film..

5/10

Eclipse (Twilight Saga)

Finally I got to watch the latest hyped movie of the year, and I may say this is the best yet(among the installments). Twilight (7/10) - the primer of the saga is nothing much of an an introduction of the characters, but vital one especially Richard Pattinson's.. being the lead role, a vampire whose characteristic is different from the popular folklore (actually the novel created a new world of two of the most popular folkloric horror creatures in the western world -wolves and vampires by giving them different or maybe unique attributes, a vampire that is not afraid of the sun and a wolf that can shapeshift anytime), as Edward Cullen he made an iconic portrayal and I believed he is the source of the success of the saga's film, he made the character so like-able to all girls,and to some guys..haha, some credit to Stewart also who made the love team a huge success. In New Moon (7.5/10) Jacobs character came to rise to build a love triangle that is a hit to every teen-agers, making the popularity of the franchise even bigger.

In Eclipse (8/10)the battle between the cold and hotter became more intense, the very reason that I favor this installment is the action, fighting scenes are more exciting.. a more improved CGI and much better script.. the now famous TENT SCENE proved that the script writing is dramatically improved compared to the previous ones; the Twilight..believe by many as having an horrible script.

In the end it matters to me that I (together with Bebeh) enjoyed and keep enjoying the saga. Enough of the "mushy comments" that I have been reading throughout the forum, stop the whining, after all this is a love story in the first place, if you are wanting to have bloodier and non-stop action vampire/wolves movies better see Blade (8/10) or The Underworld Series 1 and 2 only (9/10)the prequel sucks..

Cheaper by the Dozen

A great family..feel-good comedy film, that mirrors how a big family can be happy and catastrophic at the same time, I for one comes from a big family only 2 shy away from a dozen, but never actually lived with them (part of my regrets). This film realistically in a comic way at times illustrate the difficulty of raising a big family, lots of sacrifices were to be made including your own dreams and aspiration, as the parents choices revealed as the story progresses. 12 is big number as it is, but the happiness and joy that it can bring is as big as the number itself. Parenting is a job that is so underrated in trials and rewards. It may require everything but in the end it will give you everything in return..

My Rating 9.5/10

The Road

Post-apocalyptic film in a dramatic approach, based on the novel of the same title, this is a unique approach on how mankind would face its end, (usually action-pack, zombie creeping dooms land)this is rather melancholy, simple but horrifying struggle for the preservation of humanity, the scenery is very good, and according to the film makers those shots are not CGI dependents.

I suggest however to watch this at your most energetic or relax mood, as it so sad that you might fall sleep or find to dragging to continue to watch, holy hour or late night viewing where in your eyes are heavy is not recommended. No action -pack scenes, no climactic ending, just slow and sad journey..


Tha man (Viggo Mortensen) is brilliant in his role.


7.5/10

The Stranger

"Stonecold" Steve Austin, stars in a action flick, spy (FBI agent) style, i have low expectations before watching this film as previous Austin films are typical B-movie flavor, but at the end i guess it can have my one thump up..Acting are mild, action scene are ok, although you can easily notice how they make Austin's character somewhat invincible, (a giant wrench has no effect on his ribs)..the story is semi-predictable. the only good cinematic effect is the constant flashes of distorted memories.

6/10

Circle of Pain

I am a new follower of MMA (mix martial arts), i am a boxing guy..I tried this film because of the genre, but it's rather disappointing especially on the acting part the actors are awful..haha
the fight scenes are close (real) to MMA, but at the end of the film i could say i rather watch a real MMA fight, the story is not interesting and common.

I love You Philip Morris

"Truth is (*1)stranger than fiction", indeed..

When you combine (*2)Catch Me if You Can (DeCarpio).. (*3)Brokeback Mountain and (*4)Bruno, this what you get from Jim Carey..the movie is as good as the story itself (this is a true story based on the life of con artists steve j. russell)..

Bizarre and somewhat hmmm..lost for words...haha (hey i don't get to see gay stories everyday..haha)..the film is amazingly funny..and witty..you can't help but wonder if it actually occurred, but it did.(as the openings credits insists).

She's Out of My League

Very entertaining, funny and witty romantic comedy film..

i could somehow relate to the film, confidence should really be all about balance, over and lack of it is always a bad thing..

8/10
perhaps the funniest film this 2010 i've seen..

The Book of Eli

this is good movie, a religious one. of course if you have seen this movie already then you know the great debate, whether Eli is blind or not..well, you can google it if you are not keen in observing the film, or lazy to watch it again, for those who haven't seen it yet, i leave it to you to find out..haha

i had figured out his condition on the ending part, but when i re-view it all over again, it was already there from the start..stupid me..hehe

"we walked by faith not by sight"

*left some clue here..haha

My Birth Certificate..

Prelude: My birth certificate is a mess, 2 erroneous errors are committed, the court says its not clerical rather substantial errors are done since my name was misspelled and the my gender was mistaken for the other. Since i have found the error i tried my best to fix it on my own, evidently i could not, tell now.. a glimpse of hope is out there, and the great thing is bebeh played a huge part..(God must have sent her really, she is always a blessing to me)

The Journey!

June 2, 2010
For the past 28 years finally a new shed of hope is on the horizon, someone lend a hand..the process begins.
I need to produce the following documents; medical certificate proving my real gender, supporting documents to augment my claim,

afternoon; the first doctor is unavailable, the second one, somewhat hesitant and talks a lot, in the end i have a certification without a signature.

June 3, 2010
i don't like to wait for the 2nd doctor and seek another, finally i got my med. cert.
then a long wait at the NBI office;

to be continued..

June 7, 2010
After completing supporting documents, we decided to go back to the Prosecutors Office to take a look at the documents, we waited 3 hours..He's quite busy with so many arraignments.
He accepted the documents and gave his number, i have to wait until Thursday (June 10) I should text him for developments..

more to come..

June 10, 2010
just signed the verification and certification of non-shopping forum, paid three thousand pesos for mobilization of my papers, i have to wait another week to hope that it will be included in the courts raffle to formally file my petitation

this is going to be a long journey..

June 18, 2010
after texting the fiscal, finally a short reply said that my petition is in cue for filing


September 7, 2010
Look at the slow timeline! but alas after months of waiting I received a letter today form RTC branch 37 stating my initial hearing scheduled on October 5, 2010..Finally some major development came..

this is still a long way to go..

Heartless

i know there are lots of philosophy and hidden message in this horror flick, but sad to say on my personal preference these type of films are boring, i guess i don't have the patience or wit to dig deeper, but for entertainment's sake this is a no no to me..hehe

feels like dorian grey to me full of arts and expression, symbolisms and all that. But its entertainment value is sure snore feast..well at least for me and some friends i know..

My Rating:
5/10

sorry ridley fans.

Unthinkable

a classic sample of are you willing to sacrifice 1 or 2 lives to save millions?

This film touches sensitive issues and at a point seems be a propaganda or any sort. Its your call what color you would want to believe in this. As far as I am concern this is just a movie that mirrors some shade of life like any other movie should.

Bebeh's Bank Hopping..with ME!

Bebeh wants to open an ATM account;

First choice BDO, They need 2 IDs, She ain't got one, her school ID has expired.
We visited NBI, to get some NBI Clearance and to see if it is accepted as an ID, she earlier got a Voters Certification (alternative to Voter's ID cause it would take years to get one)

The rain poured hard, were stuck on a fast food chain, Jolibee our fave..hehe

we saw BPI, and we decided to give it a try.

She'll be back by Wednesday, for the ATM

so NBI Clearance can be considered as an ID, good thing!

The climax bail out the entire film. I did yawn numerous times good thing i hold on to it until the end. Though some moralist and religious persons might even despise the film's ending entirely, I would still say the ending is the only worth piece (besides the acting of Dawson)on this movie.

Pistay Dayat/Bangus Festival 2010

april 28, pistay dayat (lingayen gulf)

free concert featuring join the club, baywalk and spongecola

*nice free concert to start the celebration of pistay dayat, join the club open the program with some good music of their own, and some covers, not sure though if their lead guitarist is lazy or doesn't know some of the solo's of their cover songs, he "lazily just fingered his guitar on some occasions thrusting its guitar on mic stands.

baywalk - did some acts that turn the atmosphere into a cheap beerhouse..lol

spongecola - made the night great jam..

april 30, bangus festival (dagupan)

bad weather - but bebeh's desire and mine nevertheless take the road to watch some free concert

stage 2 (kapuso talents)

pekto and charise solomon handled some parlor games
some singing by these stars yasmine kurdi, riza xenon, china urtaliza and katrina halili

rain poured, crowd became uncontrollable jumping barricade (stars issue walk out warning) took 30 minutes to talk with the crowd

bamboo - great performance, great crowd as well did not mind the pouring rain and jam all the way..

going home, hassle.. loaded jeepneys, (some drivers put extra fair charge! takin' advantage..

we decided to cool down at jolibee,,,yum yumm

may 2, last concert hurrah!
13 competitors battle for music supremacy..sorry! can't take a grip of their music..pinoy rock songs arrange jaded in extravagant guitar rips equals dragging music

emil's penpen...cultural rock..i can appreciate once in a while but not to sing along with them..totally not a common crown drawer..but nice to be proud of its own music.

final act : alamid! (their vocalist seems suspicious, he sounded and look different..plus wasted..he's reading his lyrics..aw,, very different from the alamid i saw back at my hometown 2 years ago..

great summer!

eddie - a church leader that lives in comfort in forbes park..aw,,

Taegukgi: Brotherhood of War

i taught saving private ryan is the best war/drama film i ever seen, but after watching this film i guess it will be a tie in ranking in my own personal list of favorite movies.

*these films will be a constant reminder to each one of us who are very fortunate living at a time of peace, we are reaping what our forefathers have died for. i hope all our leaders and each one of us in our little way will do all what it takes not to go back at those horrible eras ruled by war and conflict

++++++
taegukgi has an exemplary plot and story even better at some point than saving private ryan.

Jejemon?

jejemon? jeje boys and jeje caps?

as posted by hatake_kakashi on April 24, 2010 on tipidpc.com
jejemon

1) Usually seen around social networking sites such as Friendster and Multiply, jejemons are individuals with low IQs who spread around their idiocy on the web by tYpFing LyK diZS jejejeje, making all people viewing their profile raise their eyebrows out of annoyance. Normal people like you and me must take a Bachelor of Arts in Jejetyping in order to understand said individuals, as deciphering their text would cause a lot of frustration and hair pulling.

CAUTION: THESE INDIVIDUALS ARE BREEDING! THEY CAN BE SEEN WRECKING GRAMMATICAL HAVOC ON FACEBOOK TOO!... See More

2) Jejemons are not just confined to trying-hard Filipino gangsters and emos. A Jejemon can also include a variety of Latino-Hispanic fags who enjoy typing "jejejejeje" in a wider context, much to the disdain of their opponents in an internet MMORPG game such as Ragnarok and DOTA.

3) Basically anyone with a low tolerance in correct punctuation, syntax and grammar. Jejemons are usually hated or hunted down by Jejebusters or the grammar nazi to eradicate their grammatical ways.

scenario: you don't have a floppy disk installed suddenly the error appears after years or so of using your unit without any problem, (without floppy disk drive)

solution: replace your cmos battery

addendum: be sure to disable any floppy disk related features on the bios and save your new bios setting after replacing your old cmos battery..

The Fourth Kind

Before i retire to bed last night I decided to watch this film, it almost got me, as I make a habit not to watch trailers or synopsis to almost every film I watch ( i don't like spoilers, it kills the excitement of the watching a movie).The introduction sets your mind (Milla Jovovich - gorgeous as always) tells you that the film is actually based on real accounts providing actual footage and audio recordings)I as go on watching in the middle of the night the film actually scares some s**t out of me.It gave me goosebumps, especially when they showed those so called "real clips", but at the same time opens up my skeptical mind that is just another "blairwitch project movie type". After watching it I did quick googling and proved my skepticism right.

but this is a lot better than that boring paranormal activities film..hehe

The Men Who Stare at Goats

Satiric presentation of some soldier at war. Not your typical war movie (gore and loud)

acting is good - George Clooney and Jeff bridges are of course as always remarkable. Mcgregor did good as well. Kevin, same..

I find it not entertaining as yawn and almost fell asleep during the entire movie.
The only thing about this movie is its message.Clearly presented and understood (as far I Know)..hehe

i will rate this one 6/10

We are one

we look up to you as the model one
manifesting the beauty of pangasinan
in this part of the province how great you are
how we love you, pangasinan i
in search of fame and victory
in hope for peace and harmony
you are the haven of the anxious mind
you're the molder of the great mankind

chorus:
we are one, we are one
we lift the banner high with our hands
we are one, joined as one
together keep the flame burn and shine
above the rest, we serve the best
here in pangasinan i, we are one

with determination and faith so strong
we keep on gaining more grounds
with humility and sincerity
we claim the elusive victory

chorus:
we are one, we are one
we lift the banner high with our hands
we are one, joined as one
together keep the flame burn and shine
above the rest, we serve the best
here in pangasinan i, we are one

with one heart, we join together
to love you, pangasinan i
with one voice, we sing together
to honor you eternally

chorus:
we are one, we are one
we lift the banner high with our hands
we are one, joined as one
together keep the flame burn and shine

Hard Disk Boot Failure...

Don't push the panic button just yet..

scenario before it happened..

power interruption (usual in the Philippines, deym)
especially those short on and off thing...it kinda create a power surge that usually destroys lots of electronic devices such as your PC..

so when it happens (your pc) and the next thing that shows on your screen upon boot up is the message..

"hard disk boot failure"

you may pull this simple trick it usually works on me..

1. open the case of your CPU
2. re- seat the power cable and sata/ide cable of your Hard disk
3. then toss a prayer ..hehe

when it boots (hopefully, run disk utilities such as chkdsk to insure the integrity of your hdd's data)

when it does not...SAVE SOME MONEY AND BUY A NEW HDD, the power surge just fried your HDD...

Other Problems encountered during Power Interruption/Surge..
1. Windows/system corrupt
2. PSU (power supply) - fried
3. modem/router - freeze, fried

MUCH WORSE WHEN THE SURGE IS CREATED BY A THUNDERSTORM..

PREVENTION: buy some UPC (Uninterpretable Power Supply) look for those models that has a surge protection feature..

PC4...dead..awts..

My 3 year old rig suddenly died (well, she did give some symptoms of a worn out pc before calling it a day)..last year this unit is hard to power up - you need to switch the power source on and off in order to boot her..

i thought it was the PSU ( change it) and then for a couple of weeks, gave me stable rig again..but today..the problem came back again...this time i could not power it up totally, (done basic troubleshooting..change cable, change power source/psu, swap memory,) to no avail two things left not swapped (processor and mobo)

as don't usually go beyond that point..why? it's not practical..hehe i mean if those two are the remaining part not been tested you have 50/50 chance either mobo or proc...might as well go to a computer center since i will be force to replace it anyway why not give those technician a job..haha (most center offer free installation of mobo or proc)..

i will place my money on motherboard on this one..keep you posted!

UPDATE.. (March 23, 2010)

i as suspected the mobo is dead...just spend 3k for a replacement, deym!

Microsoft's New Icafe Program..smells fishy or money?

today i receive a communication letter from microsoft phils. concerning their new policy on ICafe program (yes we're one of the few who despite financial constraints complied to use legit Os from M$)

here is the frustrating part..

it's very clear that they are excluding home edition Versions of their OS as valid OS for "renting out" in their new program!

oh my! we just bought 9 xp home edition a year ago because they said it is valid as long as we submit IRRA to their office.. (which we did) now as i understand the letter below (scanned and edited - the address line) we are still valid to use the xp home..but for how long?

seems to me that they are forcing us (legit users) to use their new product...

why us! we already complied...they should focus their attention to those illegal icafes lurking around and laughing at us for investing our resource to comply where there is still rampant usage of pirated softwares everywhere.

Cabal (Philippines) Instant Install

here's a good trick:

saves you from installing and patching this popular game..

ideal for those who maintain internet cafes that does not have the time to patch a newly installed game.. (this could be a pain in the **s because of slow connection provided by our well, * cough competent ISPs)

Steps

1. Copy (folder to folder) from a working (patched) cabal PC (default directory C:\program files\e-games\CABAL ONLINE (PH) )

* sometimes after copying the entire game..cabal (find cabal luncher icon on the installation folder )will work instant, else go to step 2 and 3

2. Go the source pc (the pc that have the original working Cabal)

a. click start > run

b. type regedit

c. navigate through this path [ My computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Estsoft]

right click folder and chose export and save (add any filename and save at any shared directory for easy access later )

do the same at the subfolder [My computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Estsoft\CabalOnline]

3. go to the destination PC (the pc that you're installing the game) or where you placed or copied the game access the 2 registry files you just save and merge it (just double click the file)

then lunch cabal... it's been working for me 100% all the time...

*works also for other e-game games like RAN online

Cloning..Haha

*UPDATE ops I did it again...LOL (april 16, 2010 12:30 PM)

The good thing is I device a technique to recognize which is which (source and destination drive)

BEFORE CLONING*
delete the partition of the defective/corrupted drive since you are to clone it anyway, that way you will never be mistaken of choosing which is the source drive since acronis won't allow an empty drive to be the source (clever ha!).

or be very careful of the size of each disk, reformat if you need to to see the difference between a same capacity disk by noting its free space


here is funny experience last week..

problem - PC (as in personal computer) 5 freezes on occasions

diagnose - software related; could be virus infection (someone inserted his thumb drive without scanning it first for malwares/viruses ..arggh

solution - hdd cloning (acronis).. we have 4 identical units..makes sense; fastest and most convenient

outcome - we have now 2 erratic unit! deym..hehe

*baligtad kabayan! - somehow i've mis configured the hdd setting (messing up the source and destination drive big time)..but hey, i checked everything... sata need no jumpers settings.. i booted PC3 properly and installed acronis home edition thier..so i thought i have the correct primary (source) drive..

*take 2 - still has 2 units working properly..haha

* this time i opted for manual configuration (on acronis's drive settings) did not change anything just tick the manual (instead of its automatic - which i have opted last)

walla! - finally :)
