Twinkle

Posted August 1, 2008 at 07:42PM

Twinkle is a social networking application for iPhone.

With twinkle, you can connect, discover & send messages to people worldwide.  I mainly used this to twitter.  So twinkle also serves as a twitter client.

Well and more... if you don't have twitter it's ok.  You can also use the program to get in touch with friends who has twinkle.  All you have to do is to open a Tapulous account which is easy to do as you just register within the application.

I love this application as it is easy to use, nice to look at.  It can also automatically find your location and you can choose to just browse through messages that are near your area.  

This is one application that I use everyday.  my iPhone seems to be weird without it.

Here are some screenshots:

Not to mention, you can also insert pictures with your messages :)

Here is the official Twinkle Product Page.

You can get Twinkle at iTunes AppStore for free!

 

Steak MD

Posted July 29, 2008 at 11:15PM

It has been an extremely stressful day at work... so recently, I've been eating out... just to be able to get some comfort food.

Today, me and my carpool mate Anna ate at Steak MD Banawe Branch.

Obviously, the specialty is steak ehehehe

This restaurant has a distinct style.  When you want to order for a steak, you will need to follow the steps:

 

  • Choose your Steak (T-Bone or Porter House)

          

  • Choose your Size (Regular Cut or Steak for the Big Boys)

 

 

  • Choose your Sauce (Rub ko to, Heart Rub, Atomic Rub, Build Me Up Butter Rub or Ang Charub)

          

  • Choose how you wanted the Steak to be cooked (Rare, Mid-Rare, Mid-Well or Well-Done.

I ordered the Regular Cut Porter House with Garlic Sauce (Heart Rub) - Php225 which I think is very expensive.  We are served w/ free soup.  And they are also very generous with Gravy (they gave me extra sauce).  Apart from that, the taste is just normal nothing really special.


Anna ordered the BBQ Chicken (Php 105) & Mashed Potato (Php 35).  I wasn't able to taste it so I don't know if this one is good.  According to Anna, it's also just normal.


I don't think I'll be going back for awhile since they already raised prices (used to be just about Php 150).  The price is really not that worth it now. 

 

Hancock

Posted July 27, 2008 at 07:21PM

Aside from shopping, I also watched a movie today.  The only thing that didn't go as planned is the TV stand (I didn't get to buy it).

The movie we watched is Hancock.

Since Dark Knight got so much hype, I didn't notice the movie Hancock.  But since I wanted to treat my yaya to a movie, then I now have a chance to watch Hancock.

I was pleasantly surprised to know that Charlize is part of the movie.  It's just sad that she and Jason Bateman didn't get enough credit on the movie.  

Anyway, I love this movie.  There are quite a few scenes where I shed some tears.  One scene that I can remember that I cried is when Hancock finally got the people's gratitude.  I really don't know I just realized that I can relate to Hancock, maybe I really do feel lonely for the past 5 years of my life.  And I feel that I'm always misunderstood and unappreciated just like Hancock.  hehehe well enough about me.

Back to my review of this movie hehee.

I really love how they showed Ray character as the one understanding Hancock and changed his image to the people.  I really just hope there are people like Ray's character in real life.  Coz I think there's none like that anymore.  

There are several values that were shown here:

 

  • humility - I love Ray's character.  Such a selfless, good hearted person.  I love how he taught hancock and helped change his bad public image.
  • generosity - This is Hancock.  he's technically a superhero.  And doesn't want anything in return.
  • love - Both Hancock & Mary sacrificed themselves for love.  Mary walked away from Hancock to save his life 80 years ago.  While Hancock walked away as well and went to new york city for Mary to be able to recover from the gun shot.
  • gratitude - Ray & Hancock.  Since Hancock saved Ray from the train, Ray showed his gratitude by helping Hancock change his image to a good one, he also saved Hancock from getting killed by Red.  Hancock on the other hand, showed his gratitude by painting the moon with the all heart logo (sweet!)
I give this movie 5 stars. :)

 

New Celine Shoes

Posted July 27, 2008 at 06:22PM

Today, we went to megamall to watch a movie & shop for a new TV stand.  

I ended up buying shoes instead hahaaha. 

I did this because while walking in the mall, I saw this BIG sign downstairs saying "Further Reduction" then I realized it's the CELINE shop.  So I said, this is the sign I'm going to buy shoes!!!

So we went downstairs, the promo is whenever you buy a pair of shoes, you'll get the 2nd pair at half the price.  So I said to myself, I'll definitely get 2 pairs of shoes.

So here they are:

This one I really dont like that much but since I'll be getting it at Php200 why not? hehehe :)

This one I felt is very expensive (Php700) but since I cannot see any more better design, I still got it.  

People think I have good fashion sense... I do believe though that I have a flaw... I don't know how to choose shoes... and I seem to struggle a lot when it comes to matching clothes with shoes.

What do you think of the shoes that I bought today?  

Asahi IO-6069 Remote Control Stand Fan

Posted July 26, 2008 at 06:34PM

I bought this electric fan today.  I never thought that there's already a remote control fan available in the market.  So when i was able to see it in the store, I was like... wow!  Nice, we can have remote-control fan & we can also set the timer!  Major coolness!!! :)

It's pretty easy to use as well.

Here is the box.

and here is the fan assembled.

and here is the amazing remote control, hehehe.

Just to give you an idea on what this fan can offer.  

There are 5 major areas here:

  1. Speed - Controls the settings of the fan (Low, Medium & High), I always set this up at Medium but sometimes high since Philippines weather is hot, hot, hot!
  2. Mode - Air selection (Normal, Breeze, Sleep & Automatic).  I usually just choose normal here hehehe.
  3. Ion - this lets the fan emit negative ions to clean the surrounding air.  This is a nice feature,  I always turn this on.
  4. Oscillate - you can control the operation (horizontal, vertical, infinity).  It is really amazing seeing the fan just follow whatever you press in the remote.  When you click horizontal, it goes side to side.  When you choose vertical, it goes up and down.  And when you choose infinity, it just moves into a shape of infinity.  hahahaa really, it's really cool watching it .
  5. Timer - You can set the timer till 9 hours.  This I might use when I'm getting ready to work so I don't have to worry about shutting it down hehhe.
I can't believe I'm liking or even blogging about an electric fan.  I guess technology is really progressing fast!
