Hooray For New Monitor!

Finally bought a new monitor for our desktop. Our old one is just so old and dying anyway. =D It’s a LED monitor which I think is much better than the LCDs.


Bought it for only PHP2800 somewhere in Shopwise.

My First: Globe Tattoo

Look what came in the mail yesterday! I ordered it online from Globe’s online store last Saturday and was told that it will be delivered to me by Tuesday. And they’re true to their words. The payment method is cash on delivery by the way.

Right now, I have two broadband sticks here. One Smart and the other is Globe. I use the former for FBT. =P As for Globe, I have no problem with loading it since I have a postpaid line. =)

Alcatel One Touch Glam 810D

Woot! Heads up! I know this is quite old now. But I still want to share. I actually saw this cute little pink phone from Alcatel two months ago. As soon as I saw it, I wanted it. Alas, one has to think ahead, the pros and the cons. WHY do I want it? I own a phone that can pretty much do ANYTHING. But it’s PINK! And it’s CUTE! So you see my dilemma here? LOL.

Anyway, this stylish little phone comes in Victoria Blush and Light Chrome. It actually looks like a compact powder case (another cuteness factor).

It features a 2.4 screen, can run JAVA apps, a QWERTY keypad, music player that can store up to 2000 songs, mobile browsers such as Opera Mini and Obigo, push mail, email, dual sim, has Bluetooth but no WIFI. =( That last one is the downside. It also features the popular social apps we often use: Facebook and Twitter. Note: It does not run on Android. This savvy phone retails for PHP3,999 (last time I checked). Not bad, yes?

PlayerXstreme App

This is related to my previous post about where to download movies for mobile. To those who wants to use their iPhones, iPads or iPod to watch their favorite movies, I recommend PlayerXstreme App. It’s free to download and very easy to use. Plus it supports all kinds of video format especially .avi files.

How to transfer videos to PlayerXstreme App:

1. Open your iTunes.
2. Click your iPhone name.
3. Click Apps and scroll down until you see a left window and right window.
4. On the left window, click PlayerXstreme.
5. As soon as you click PlayerXstreme, just DRAG & DROP your movies (from where you saved your movies — desktop or anywhere) into the right window. Sync. =)

The Woman in Black. Creepy but very nice movie.

Download Movies For Your Mobile

I’m starting to feel the strain of being a slave of Globe. LOL! to think I just recently became a postpaid subscriber. Nevertheless, I’m still glad I am able to pay my bills on time, well, if not on time, atleast before the next billing arrives. I hope this continues for the next 22 months. =)

Speaking of Globe, it’s unfortunate for us postpaid subscribers not to fully enjoy this Globe Rewards. I mean, in order for us to gain points, we have to spend above our plan. Tsk.

OKAY. What’s up? I’ve been downloading lots of movies for my iPhone since last Tuesday I think. If you’re wondering where I download movies directly for mobile devices, check out moviesmobile.net. =) To play movies on your mobile, you need to install an app that is capable of playing .avi files. Don’t worry though, the files are quite small ranging from 40-90MB/file. Alright, it’s movie marathon time! Where’s the popcorn? =)

Travel Planner App For Your iPhone or iPad

Back when I was young, my family used to travel within the country especially during holidays and vacation. We used to spend a whole week at a certain place armed with our itinerary list or sometimes hop from one city to another. I just missed those days where we don’t care about work or school. Just pure relaxation in a cottage or at a beach, sunbathing.

Anyway, it’s summer once again! I can already feel the heat! Do you guys have any plans this summer? I’ve been downloading some trip plannerapps from iTunes. So far, I really like gogobot, tripit and trip planner app. All three are very neat and useful. Since my family are planning to go someplace else this summer, a handy travel planner app for my iPhone is a must!

A travel planner app is really useful especially to those who loves to travel across the globe. Documenting your travel experience right from your iDevice is a great way to save your happy moments during your stay in a particular country or place. Gone are those days where are itineraries for the day are printed in a piece of paper, eventually losing it. With these apps, you can create your daily itinerary for your trip right in your iDevice. In addition to that, you can monitor flight schedules, book your flight and hotel, check out the country’s most visited restaurants, visit the popular bars in the town, all of that you can perform by using any of the travel apps I mentioned from your iDevice.
