Acobay | Share and Get Involved!

Acobay.com is a new networking site that allows you add content and build your network of friends, hobbyists, and people who share similar interests. It's a social networking website.

Pros. I've tried their website and found that it's very easy to join. You don't have to share your email address, so you don't have to worry about spam or such. The registration is quick and easy, and after you fill in the information, you can immediately use the features of their website.

You can even post stuff regarding your blog or website, just as I did here: http://www.acobay.com/stuff/299745/topic. It's totally free to do so. You can post your hobbies, or anything under the sun as they have hundreds of different categories where you can post your content to.

Cons. One aspect that I think could use some improvement is the way users post their articles. Right now there's no way to format the article. As a web designer, I am aware that there are ready-to-use codes to add formatting functionality so users can easily format their content. I think this would appeal more to users like me, who are particular about the format of what I'm writing. Being able to bold, italicize, align, and use different font size to best match my needs is a great add on.

Conclusion. Despite this, all in all, Acobay is a great website. Thanks Acobay for this wonderful service!

Plans for the New Year

For this new year, I'm planning on doing a lot. More action and work, less on planning. Overplanning leads to paralysis. Right now, I think the best course is to plan once, and decide on it. Making the plan simple also helps, as the more complicated it gets, chances are many of my assumptions won't really hold true when the time comes. So the plan falls.

Wish me luck!

Yosh! This should be a good year. :)

CEIVA Logic | Digital Photo Frame

CEIVA's Digital Photo Frame has a lot of cool features! CEIVA is the inventor of the Connected Digital Photo Frame. Why 'connected'? It is due to the PicturePlan technology, which allows any CEIVA photo frame to display pictures sent from friends and families to be displayed automatically on your photo frame! Your photos are securely stored at Ceiva.com, so you don't have to worry about losing those precious moments.

The CEIVA photo frame has the ability to upload photos directly from your phone or email. It uses wireless technology, so it's very convenient since you won't have to connect it to your computer to transfer photos. You can use wi-fi, your phone line, or your broadband connection. Sending and receiving photos from friends and family work in the same manner.

This photo frame is the first of its kind. It socializes pictures. Even if you're far from your friends and families, you can still keep in touch with them in a very unique way. Also, another unique thing about this photo frame is its Lifetime Warranty! They will fix your photo frame if ever it gets broken, and they will do it for life!

This is really a product that's worth trying out. It's great for gifts this season.

DIE!!! Mayor of Masiu City | Mayor Nasser Pangandaman, Jr.

December 26, 2008. Die SCUM of the world.

This is in response to the sickening actions of Nasser Pangandaman, Jr. the Mayor of Masiu City, Lanao del Sur. On December 26, 2008, a father aged 56, and his son 14 were beat up in the presence of their daughter. It happened in Valley Golf and Country Club, Antipolo City over a dispute. The Mayor showed disrespect to the family when he overtook their flight several times. It is the proper etiquette that if you overtake the flight of golfers who have initially gone ahead of you, you have to ask permission first. But the Mayor did not follow this several times. This resulted to a heated argument, where the Mayor punched the father. The Mayor's goons wasted no time in coming to the Mayor's aid and they pinned the poor man on the ground and beat him up. The son rushed to plead that they stop beating his father, and he went to his knees just hoping that they would stop. The Mayor showed no mercy and beat the boy as well.

Finally, someone broke up the fight. But it did not end there. At the club house, the Mayor saw them again and beat them up all over again.

Is this the action of a Mayor that is supposed to take care of its citizens?

Reunion with Batch 04 Pisay

We had our reunion at Costa Marina Beach Resort, Samal, Davao City yesterday. It was nice to meet the batch again and spend time with friends. Four of us came there late, only two hours before the last trip back to the mainland, so we only had little time to enjoy the place. Despite that, it was worth it to come there.

After the beach, some of the boys spent a couple of hours in our new office. Then we headed to a friend's house for some videoke and some drinks.

I went home with a friend and we talked a lot along the way. Overall, it was a great way to end the day.

Payday Loans!! | Dneero Conversations



Here are my thoughts on PayDay loans. What's Dneero? It's a way to earn money online.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Greeting everyone a merry merry christmas! Honest to say, I'm not really a Christian, but I celebrate christmas with my Christian cousins and friends. I enjoy the spirit of giving--and receiving as well. Hahahaha. Or is that HoHoHo. :)

I like Christmas because of the cool weather, the warm people, and all the celebration here and there. It's also the time when people come back to their homes from wherever far off place they've been to, so it's the time friends get to meet again.

There may have been a lot issues surrounding Christmas, like it's history tainted with pagan origin, but what the hell. Just because it comes from something that you don't really agree in doesn't mean that it's evil right? :)

Once again, merry christmas and happy holidays! Enjoy this year while it lasts!

Got a Wish | Sit on Santa's Lap

I was trying out Sit on Santa's Lap, a website that welcomes you with a Flash Movie animation where you can upload your own picture and have it included on the movie. You are asked for the thing that you wish for as well. It was actually funny, since it seemed quite real and the movie went on smoothly even with the added photo of myself on the video, placed on a a cool photo frame. I was a bit surprised.

It's called the CEIVA Digital Photo Frame, which I found quite unique for the following reasons: it allows you to share photos instantly all over the world, by connecting through an existing phone line or wi-fi; it receives photos from the computer or a camera; it displays photos perfectly without squishing, cropping, or stretching.

I like the idea of being able to share your photos with friends and families no matter how far apart you are from each other. This photo frame helps to bring people closer.

I chose the photo on the right since it's the picture on my About Me page on this blog.

You can try Sit on Santa's lap here on this link: Got a wish

Get a chance to win $500. Additionally, you can win $500 for trying out Sit on Santa's lap. One random entry will be selected each day. Hope I win too! Hahahaha.

Busy week

It has been a busy and stressful week in preparation for the launching of one of the projects that we proposed to DOLE. It's fun at times, but there are moments that are really draining. Work can be rewarding, but when you're overworked...that's a totally different matter.

Ahhh... Looking forward for the weekend. Badly need a break.

Anyway, overall... it's a good experience.
