A Blog Where Expecting for Something Specific is a Stupid Idea

Thank you, Opera!

, , ,


I've been using Opera ever since I landed my hands on my very first PC (and Java-enabled mobile). My experience on Opera has been truly fantastic! I wouldn't use it as my exclusive browser if it weren't that great! But unexpectedly, I have received more than the best internet experience that anybody could ever have. I also received great Opera stuff, thanks to the Opera Campus Crew! Thank you, Opera Software, for the following:

  1. A cool Opera laptop/messenger bag - my prize for being one of the most active members of the Campus Crew for the June-December 2008 semester. All I need is a laptop to use the bag!
  2. A 'Moods of Norway and Opera' shirt - for being one of those who contributed great ideas to the last Campus Crew brainstorming chats. It’s a limited edition shirt!
  3. A black Opera Campus Crew uniform shirt
  4. Opera pens and notepads
  5. A bright red Opera umbrella - my prize for being one of the Campus Crew to receive 50 affiliate points when Opera 10 was released. Perfect for rainy Philippines!
  6. A red Opera notebook - bundled with the affiliate points contest. It’s large! The thing is, I don’t usually take down notes during classes. p:
  7. A red Opera hooded jacket – for being one of the three Gold members of the Campus Crew for the January-October 2009 semester. Perfect for my habit of being in the cinema once a week.
  8. An Opera baseball cap – still for being a Gold member
  9. An LG Viewty KU990 Mobile phone with HSDPA and a 5.1-megapixel Schneider-Kreuznach lens - another Gold member prize. At last! A replacement for my good ol’ N70 that gives up its last breath everytime I go online for only an hour!

    Thank you, Opera Software! These stuff gives me more and more reasons to love Opera!

Better PH8

I've stopped blogging for a while, primarily because I've got no time to blog. Now that I've the time, I'm into discovering more and more ways to blog better and better.

In my search, I discovered Wordpress. And so, I'm playing with it now. I have now officially moved my blog to http://www.DeBlogged.co.cc/. See you at my bigger and better blog!

The Plight of the Submersible Flashlight

, , ,

Nowadays, the world is getting filled with products that are either destined to improve our lives (though sometimes unnecessary in the first place), or to ruin it.

No other invention has revolutionized the speed on how people move but the wheel. Technology has brought us wonderful, and some not-so-wonderful creations, that are the products of either incredible human minds or by uncredible mad scientists whose joys in life are to churn out useless, expensive stuff.

Indeed, inventions and the innovations in such inventions have created better lives people on Earth. Sadly, there are some technological advancement that has never served their intended purposes in the first place. Mobile phones with cameras were perhaps created by the inventor with wonderful sunsets and happy family smiles in mind. Who could have thought that the camera-phones could be used to shoot the latest video scandal to flood the cyberspace?

For me, the next biggest and most important invention of all time after the trusty wheel, that even took Neil Armstrong to the Moon, is the Web (and of course, the PC). I have to admit, the internet is as important to me as eating and sleeping. It is normal for me to continually search for something that will help make my experience on the World Wide Web even better than ever. And after finding great things in the dusty corners of the Web, I share it to people so that their internet experiences would not only be limited to checking emails on Yahoo and copying and pasting content searched from Google and using such to get them through college.

What makes my internet experience even better is the never-ending competition of companies to churn out with the best browser that will get us through the internet traffic. Some of them are just like TV stations – all claiming to be number one in all sorts of criteria that even the nerdest of nerds could not think about. But the thing is, only one browser has never failed me – Opera. Even just with Opera Unite, Opera will blow the heads off any internet user. Who could have thought of everyone having a web server? The bottomline? The consumers win, along with the company that has proven its claims right. The useless ones will have reign for a bit more, and be thrown straight to the bin, along with the trendy submersible flashlight that drowned.

The Web and Me

,

I have to admit - I can't live without the internet. It's as important to me as eating and sleeping. In fact, I trade the internet for sleep at times. The web goes with me no matter where I am, thanks to mobile web with my trusty old Nokia N70. I'm not the typical Filipino who knows internet only through a Big 'E' icon on the desktop, or one who believes that the internet is primarily composed of Google, Yahoo and Friendster monkey.

Where Chocolates Come From

,

We all love chocolate. Well, maybe most of us love chocolates except for the poor diabetics who need to trim down on their sugar consumption. But with all of the craving that we have for chocolate, most of us do not know where all the yummy goodness of chocolates come from.

It's just today that I fully realized, after 19 years of existence on this planet, that human eyes and shampoo do not go well.

Second Post: Industry Rivals

, , , ...

Nowadays, the world seems to be filled with all sorts of products that are either destined to improve our lives (though unecessary in the first place), or to ruin it.

Equally, my friends, are the number of corporations claiming to be number one and creating mere assumptions that their products are the best that the world has ever seen.
