unique corn snack


i never really liked clover chips. not that its bad, i know some people who love it. it just so happens it not my type of "chips". so, it is telling the truth when it says the "unique corn snack" because i haven't tasted something similar. not that its extraordinarily different, its just...well, unique. and i like the guarantee they have at the back of the packaging. not sure if anyone has actually complained.


the best in the world!


now, who would have thought that we have the best cornick/kornik in the world? i like this Corn Bits wrapper. its amusing. note what's written on the wrapper. on its left, its says: the best in the world, and on its top right portion it says: spicy hot apoy. if you can't read it, i suggest you buy one, it tastes good anyway, it is the best in the world.

does it have the after party taste?


i haven't tasted this flavor but it just made me wonder, what is a "barbecue cheese party" flavor?

the adventures of my nokia3660

its been more or less 3 years now since my nokia3660 replaced my first cellphone, my beloved nokia 3210. i think i got my nokia 3660 around march 2004 because my nokia 3210 was having "power" problems (at first i thought it was just a battery problem but replacing the batteries didn't work, although it did improve it, it didn't quite solve the problem).

anyway, it's been a good three years, and like my 3210, my 3660 also had its share of problems. just recently, it had a memory card problem and i had to minimize its "text" life. its like limiting my phone's "social" life because it is not functioning on its optimal level. it's like giving my phone a curfew. now that its memory problem is fixed, it's showing signs that it could still last for at least a year or two (im the type of guy who wont "retire" a cellphone until it really cant fulfill its function). my 3210 has been officially retired as of 2004 but it's still used from time to time to re-live its "glory" days, when it was able to "interact" with other cellphones by way of text messaging. i mean, there came a time it was the coolest phone around because it was substantially different in physical appearance from its predecessor, nokia 5110. aside from the "revolutionary" built-in antenna, you can change its cover! something that was cool back then. i remember it had this ice cream commercial and i think the concept was like an ice cream having different flavors, nokia 3210 can come in different colors. but im digressing, this blog isnt about my retired 3210 but about the recent "adventures" of my nokia 3660. this phone has been with me, from baguio to bicol from isabela to galera, accompanying me on every vacation and out of towns i went to. so, just a few days ago, while being struck with boredom, i thought, what would it be like if my phone had the chance to take a break. so, here's some of its pictures:

so, looks crazy but its something i had to do to beat the boredom, imagine a phone as if it was on some sort of vacation or something

question

is this what you had in mind?

was trying freewebs.com (here's the link: http://www.freewebs.com/adminsample/index.htm), but encountered connection problems so wasnt able to really try it out. but so far, from what i gathered there, you cant post comments on the photoalbum. but i think we can post invidual pics with comments not using its photoalbum feature. so, multiply appears to be better. the only good thing about it is that you can add a number of pages (blog, forum, webform).

as for this site, blogger. so far, this seems good enough. maybe im not yet very familiar with its features but so far, i think the only problem here is the limited interface or layout or something like that. and i dont think there can be a welcome page or a page explaining the site. or i just dont know how to do it on this site...not yet. so, multiply, again, appears to be better when it comes to manageability. the good thing about this site is convenience for the moderators. we can easily filter the comments being posted because there is an option that an approval of the blog owner must first be secured before the comment can be posted.

more pesky billboards


more of them nasty billboards! they're a bunch of eyesores! except for that billboard in katipunan. i like that kashieca girl. her billboard should be an exception

when push comes to shove


dont do that, you might hurt your buddy there. if that sack of whatever is in there falls on his head, youre goin to be liable. in the eyes of law, there is injury, and someone's got to pay!

Txting while Xing...tsk tsk tsk

Hey, silly pedestrian! Crossing the street aint safe, and you aint making it safer by not looking! i dont care how many years youve been crossing streets, whether its time immemorial or not, that dont make ya a professional pedestrian who has a license to cross without looking.

long line

dont you just hate those long lines? well, live with it! ok...cant think of anything to comment, because aside from this is taken from a private establishment, its a line for those who are waiting for taxis. as nelson from the simpsons would say, "Ha Ha!".

bothersome billboards!


ok, this is just a sample. but i do find billboards bothersome. anyway, the problem of using blogs is that, well, the posts are done sequentially. not much of a con (pro and con), right?
