And so I bought some stuff from Lazada on March 21, 2013 - a Thursday. I bought a Water-resistant MP3 Player with 2GB Internal Memory Neckband Over-the-Ear Headphones and a 3-in-1 Pen with Laser Pointer with 4GB USB because someone gave me a GC :) I'll probably post some pictures of the items once I have uploaded them... Anyway, I was expecting it to arrive sometime next week, from March 25 onwards since according to their website, it takes around 3-6 days of delivery time outside Metro Manila. What a pleasant surprise when I got the items I ordered the very ...
And so this is my first post for the year 2013! That aside, I'd like to outline how to delete the recovery partition of an external hard disk using Windows 7. First, I would like to give a brief background on how I stumbled upon this problem. I have a broken Acer laptop with a broken LCD and a malfunctioning hard disk. Before, I used to connect this laptop to my TV so that I could still use it. But once the hard disk started failing, I called it quits and bought a new laptop. Of course I wanted to retrieve my ...
Have you updated your Google Chrome browser only to get a double scroll bar on the right(see pic above) most of the time when browsing the web? This started happening to me a few weeks ago but I have only found the fix to this problem only now. I found the fix on youtube and you can watch it below: I guess this happens when we browse a site that uses Flash. It's also actually not a double scroll bar problem but what we are actually seeing is the scroll bar of the the other tab we are browsing. The current ...
Text Message Scam in the Philippines Using "Winnings" to Lure Victims. A few seconds ago as of this writing, I received a text message on my cellphone saying: "Congratulations!U have won 300k Pesos+Starex Van, ur Sim# as a homepartner last April.30,2011 for info:Call ds#:09427641440Dir: marcel Tan of Phil:Com.Center" That was the text verbatim with the cases and spaces intact. I don't judge a book by its cover so I gave the promo the benefit of the doubt and called the number mentioned. Mr. Tan answered the phone and asked who I was. I said that I received his text about winning money and ...
You might have had this experience. You wanted to buy a gadget. You looked for it. You found it. You opted to pay for it via credit card and then pay it in full later so you get bonus points (or whatever feature/benefit the credit card has...). You found out that it was more expensive to pay for it via cc than to pay for it via cash. The seller said it was their "promo" but are they telling the truth? Most of the time no. There is no such thing as a discounted price when using cash as a means ...
Shakey's If It's Late It's Free - A Scam? Is this a scam? Probably, probably not. But what I am sure of is that Shakey's uses various "dirty" tactics so they won't have to honor their statement. There are others who have been duped as well. Here's one who had his shakey's pizza delivered late but was not able to get the pizza free. He argued with the delivery boy but to no avail. He did not get the pizza free and was not called back upon. Talk about bad customer service. Then there's this other incident involving another blogger. She ordered ...
How to Use a Custom Domain Name for Blogger via Namecheap?

There comes a time when you have to say goodbye and that's what I did with my trusted old printer friend, the HP 915. That old printer has served me well. I bought that printer primarily to print out my own wedding invitations (back in 2009)! ... and

It's that time of the year again wherein students graduate and move on with their lives. Looking back, being a student for so many years had its ups and downs. Friends were lost but new ones gained. Some subjects were failed but most of them pass

I know HP 915 is an old printer but if you do have this printer and your printing is slow, this might have to do with one of the cartridges. This happened to me and this is what I did to solve this issue. Simply remove both cartridges and put th

I think this is an old problem which has already been answered over and over again but I'll still post it anyway. If you're using WAMP and it stays orange on the task bar, I've found only 2 culprits, Skype and Teamviewer. [blur] To fix this p
