It's been a while since I last posted. Let us bring things up and running by this review post of the PowerBase C518 Charger. I recently bought a brand new Samsung Galaxy S2 that had battery capacity of 1650mAh. I was not able to find a battery for the S2 which had more capacity so I opted to resort to portable chargers for my energy needs. That's when I saw the PowerBase portable charger at Electronics Boutique. I had other PowerBase chargers and they work fine. That is the reason why I had no qualms in buying this C518 charger. The PowerBase ...
If you are a fan of playing Scrabble but prefer to play games that use technology, then the new game Words With Friends should be right up your street.

You can play it if you have a smartphone or tablet. If you have been playing PartyPoker on your computer and a friend asks you if you want to play Words with Friends, you can play it on this device as well, via Facebook. Therefore this ...
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 ...
This post is a bit late but like they say better late than never! I'd like to welcome the latest member of our family, Jaten Caezar G. Ramos! He first saw the light of day last March 16 2011 at around 9:45AM. He was born in MCM, Medical Center Muntinlupa, and incurred a bill of 42k++ PHP, lolz. But all that money was money well spent. He is the flag-bearer of the Ramos clan and the savior of our bloodline. And he means the world to me and my wife :) As of this writing, he is now sleeping soundly in his ...
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 ...
Where to Buy Travel Scrabble in Metro Manila? I love playing scrabble. I learned to play this marvelous game when I was a kid and if anyone would ask me to play with him or her today, I would. I have been looking to buy a portable scrabble this year but had a hard time doing so. I looked in Festival Mall, Alabang and other mall around that area but nothing. To cut the story short, I was able to buy one in Edsa Shang Mall (did I get the name correctly?) in Ortigas. I forgot the name of the shop ...
Are you wondering how to clean your keyboard? No I am not just talking about the keypads on the keyboard but am referring to cleaning the hard to reach cavities. Well, you can blow away light particles but what if that is not possible? I stumbled upon this new (I think) product in ACE hardware called Cyber Clean. It claims to catch dirt and kill germs! I bought one just to try it out. I opened the box containing Cyber Clean and what I got was a gel-like substance. According to the box, to use it to clean stuff, you do ...
I recently bought a laptop USB lamp because it looked cool. Little did I know that it would turn out very useful for me. Check the image above. That is not the lamp I bought but it looks similar to the one I have except that the trunk is silver in color. It is bendable and provides sufficient lighting for dim to dark places. So why is it useful for me? USB lamp usages Well, the fact that it is a lamp makes it useful. If you are using your laptop in a dim place, the lamp would bring instant light! But ...
I bought my HP 915 printer 2 years ago and used it with my old Acer laptop running on Windows Vista (ugh, I know...). This printer was a beauty and still is. Being an all-in-1 printer (printer, scanner, fax machine, photocopy machine, etc...), it has served a lot of purpose since I bought it. It is still alive and kicking and still looks new :) Not to mention that this model of HP printers boasts one of the cheapest ink cartridges in the market! Actually, that is the reason why I bought the printer in the first place - for ...
