Idea: Restricted Blog

I typed in Http://whoweareinstead.blogspot.com in a chance that I can get that address for the Pinoy Jars of Clay Fans Club.

Sad, cant sleep. Don't know why. Incredible Landladies

It's been a tough time looking for a new apartment for me this Christmas season. I don't know why it has to happen at this time ALL THE TIME. It's been the 3rd time in six years that I have to move out of where I'm staying and go somewhere else. Mostly due to incredibly difficult landladies. Are they even to be called ladies? Oh no, that's not true, the first one was an inconsiderate female housemate who wanted to glue the phone to her ear and wanted me to offer them what I was eating every time they're present in the living room.  We weren't even friends but she wanted ME to give her courtesy. Oh dear. The 2nd one was a literally insane landlady of a rental place in guadalupe. Every tue and thursday she would BLARE her instrumental oldies at about 9am to who knows when. Nobody stood...

Vertical Horizon Manila feeback/New Car/New Doctor Who/Torchwood

I've been keen on waiting of the Torchwood and Doctor Who Christmas Specials on Dec 25 and blogged about all the excitement in my entertainment blog. Kylie Minogue will guest at a Titanic WAITRESS. Like most Who shows, this one has a twist, like the time when aliens stole a HOSPITAL and put it on the _____ (Spoiler). This time its a 71min show and it'll be set on the Titanic, with a twist. Hunt for the trailer if you want to know what it is. BBC will show the special on Dec 15, 8pm. The rest of the world will see it online Dec 26. Thank BIT TORRENT and online TV show sites. Also, I discovered that I have a copy of Lorie's CD, she's a french pop singer and it's a live album copy I've got. Funny thing is if you know french, you'd realize that the crowd shouting "LORIE-LORIE-LORIE!" is actually...

Abusive MMDA, how to defend yourself from them.

Got this from Cathie, hope it's real.SUBJECT: TOOLS AGAINST MMDA OFFICERS"I just reached my limit last weekend, and decided to take actionagainst the abusive MMDA enforcers. I basically called up the MMDA headoffice and inquired from the Personnel Officer, Antonio Pagulayan, toclarify their policies. Here is what I got. If any of these abuses seem familiar to you, Mr. Pagulayan has askedthat you call either the MMDA hotline (136) or call the METRO BASE at0920 9389861 or 0920 9389875 and ask for an Inspectorate. They will sendinspectors to the place where these MMDA officers are extorting, evenwhile you are arguing out of your apprehension."1. MMDA officers are not allowed to group together in order toapprehend. They are not even allowed to stand together in groups of 2 ormore. The only time...

I bet this Iphone product does not exist!

According to this article:  There's a product that can make "Phone Empowered as Mobile Emergency Command Device; IT Alerts, Business Continuity, Disaster Recovery, CRM and Other Important Enterprise Notifications Can Be Initiated and Managed With the Touch of a Screen". Yes it's very long. Too long. It says this further: "MIR3's iPhone interface also functions as an automated mobile command dashboard that allows executives to instantly notify and initiate live voice conferences among the appropriate response-team members, and access MIR3's real-time reporting features to track notifications and responses on their iPhone."

Google's new MY LOCATION service-didn't singapore gave this already?

Google service uses cell towers to locate users Google launched a location service for mobile users on Wednesday that doesn't rely on GPS. Google Maps with My Location, currently in beta, locates users who don't have GPS-enabled phones based on their location to nearby cell towers. The result isn't as accurate as GPS (Global Positioning System) but works for people who lack the positioning technology in their phones. In Singapore, if you moved around the city, one of the providers (or was it BOTH maxis and starhub?) gave you general location as the "LOGO" of your cellphone. None of these useless "brand names" on the screen. It's actually...

Looking for Wedding Songs shows Utada's "First Love" is a favorite

Well,DJ Jordan's cousin's song is just too similar to Utada's chorus.
