Samsung Galaxy S4 Coming Soon

Samsung Corporation, the Korea's giant when it comes to smartphone manufacturing, is going to launch it's new star for the year 2013 called, "Samsung Galaxy S4." Invitations to fwitness the new galaxy is spreading like wildfire in New York City. The new star will be unveiled on 14th of March this year where a lots of fans are waiting. The question is, will it surpass its predecessors in fame and profit while facing the flagship of Apple iPhone 5?

Specs about Samsung Galaxy S4 has spread in the internet and critics are not happy about it. The new Galaxy will have its full HD screen but no AMOLED. Samsung's AMOLED rechnology is one of the best specs of galaxy and S4 doesn't have it. The AMOLED technology assures he critics that the new S4 screen is flexible. Another specs that raised the eyebrows of the critics is its processor. The new S4  will not have the custom processor used by other Galaxies. Instead, S4 uses Qualcomm processor. The Qualcomm processor is a fast-speed processor yet it have issues in overheating which is why people aren't happy.

There may have been good and bad news, we can't  deny the fact that it is exciting to know that there's a new Galaxy to be released. Samsung Corporation had been leaping over Apple and they had already overtaken Apple as the top leading manufacturer of smartphones.

All we can do now is to wait and of course, hope that this new flagship of Samsung will be of good use to its consumers.

Die Hard 5 Movie

It has been a while since Bruce Willis appeared in a thrilling action movie.

 Today, Bruce Willis rocks the movie seats as he star as the NYPD cop John McClane who traveled to Russia to help his son Jack McClane - unaware that his son is one of the top CIA agents covering for CIA in a Russian weapon mobs. The story started as the Russian convict Komarov was about to put in trial together with Jack McClane who is covering as a witness to Komarov's trial. A group of Russian mobs, blew the courthouse and Jack together with Komarov tried to escape the Russian mobs. With the help of his father, John McClane, they escaped the Russian mobs into a safe house where another CIA agent are waiting. Offering freedom in exchange for an evidence, Komarov accepted the offer in exchange for a safe trip away from Russia with his daughter. Before they could go away safe, a group of Russian mob attacked the safe house and killed the other CIA agent. John, Jack and Komarov escaped and went to a place where Komarov will meet his daughter but looks like Komarov's daughter betrayed his father for money which makes the story into a chaotic mess. John and Jack escaped with a very thrilling action against an Apache helicopter bombarding them with Gatling guns. Komarov together with his daughter went to a laboratory where the evidence were kept but to our surprise, Komarov plans it all. He used the CIA as well as his enemy Russian official to get him out of prison and went back to the laboratory where the dangerous weapons were hidden. Together with his daughter, Komarov gathered all the weapons but to their surprise the father and son tandem came in and destroyed their plan. With action scenes and thrilling explosions, Jack killed Komarov and because of this his daughter in a suicidal attempt to kill John and Jack, she crashed the helicopter in the laboratory. Jack and John escaped and went back to the United States.

This new movie of Bruce Willis, the sequel of the famous Die Hard is a little bit different, I assure you that it is better to watch it in movie.

Now showing in cinemas. Go see it!

Duka Bay Resort

The sun is about to rise. The wind blew towards your face as you hear the waves going to shore. You feel the sand as you walk. Pleasant. Peaceful. Refreshing. And that is why I love the beach especially early in the morning.

I dreamed of going to the beach with the one I love. Stay for a night while I enjoy the view of the balcony from the cottage, have dinner date as we taste new delicacies at the same time. And one of the romantic things to do at the beach is to stroll by the shore as me and my lover walk hand in hand. Too bad I don't have a special someone yet and Valentines day has ended.

A cottage has been provided especially to people who wishes to extend their stay.

For my sake, visit Duka Bay Resort on my behalf and enjoy the scenery that they offer while you still can with your lover or even friends.

At Midnight

My alarm clock rang at 5:30 in the morning. Rose from the bed and wash my face. Cook breakfast good for two and when the it's already 6am, I would go for a jog. At 7 in the morning, I would drive my Honda car to school. Attend class. Do the assignments. Go home to eat for lunch. Then back to school at 5 in the afternoon for Tax and Law subjects. After class, either go to SM for dinner or any fastfood chain that is far away from school.

Yes, this is my everyday routine and it never changed. I have everything. Money, gadgets, house, car. I've got no complains and wants anymore with life except to graduate. Until one day, while I got this problem about my phone and made a fuss over it in the internet, a stranger answered it for me. Soon, he became my friend and became an addition to my daily routine at night. We crack jokes, share what's running in our minds and what we were doing.

One midnight, after I watched a movie that I downloaded illegally, he invited me for dinner. At midnight. Of course, a person who is self-conscious about her body, would not eat after 9pm. He said that he just finished playing basketball with his friends and ask whether I would like to just accompany or 'watch' him eat. Without having any second thoughts I accepted. He went to my place to get me with his SUV Ford and then we went to McDonalds. We chatted while he eats and little did I know that it's already 4:30am and I still have class. He returned me home and bade our good byes.

For the first time in my college life, my schedule was destroyed due to lack of sleep and for not being on time. Even though my schedule became hectic at that time, it was still worth the thrill. Breaking my rules, not being my usual 'too-goody-two-shoe' girl was exciting that I was looking forward to our next meeting.

One night, he invited me again for a stroll under the moonlight. I agreed. So we went to the beach. The wind blew strong towards my face. Waves clashing. At midnight. We sat down facing the waves. He brought his guitar and played a song. He shared a very personal story which touched my heart so I played a song for him too. It was embarrassing! For I was only a beginner and he was a pro, to my eyes I mean. As he played another song, I kissed him without thinking. Yes. He got shocked. I was shock too for having no reasons in doing such act. He smiled. Puts down the guitar. Went closer. And kissed me. As his lips touched mine, thoughts had been running in my mind. Is it ok to kiss a stranger like this?! What are we doing? We don't know each other yet. But I enjoyed it until my mind became blank.

The next day, I barely listened to the teacher discussing the lesson. I was daydreaming all day that I didn't notice that we are going to have a quiz after discussion. Since I read in advance before the class starts, I passed the quiz. But the thought of just passing is not in my vocabulary.

After class at 8:30pm, he invited me for dinner and a movie. I excitedly accepted. As I was going home to return my car, my best friend appeared in front of my house. She said that we are going shopping. Suspicious. She never ever wants to spend a single cent of her money in anything. So I accompanied her to look for a dress until the clock strikes 9pm. I got a few texts and a couple of missed calls. It was from him. I gave an explanation that I might not make it on time for dinner and movie. He told me that it's ok as long I was having fun. I wasn't. To make me feel better, he told me that we'll hang out after helping my best friend. I was glad for he was not mad. As I went home with my best friend, I saw that there's somebody inside my house. It was my ex-lover. He asked my best friend to make me busy as he was preparing for a surprise inside my house. Yes, he has a key to my house and I totally forgot to get it after we broke up. I was mad, furious. Not only to my ex-lover, but also to my best friend for helping him to get together with me. He made a mistake. People should move on. I did. Bust I guess he didn't. I went outside to get some fresh air for I was boiling. My best friend ran after me. I told her to go away. She has no rights to help and butt in with my life. She thought that I haven't move on because I was too lifeless at school and at home. She's wrong. I was already content with what I was doing. She never dared to ask me if I have problems in order for me to explain everything to her that I am ok. My best friend went back home. My ex was running towards me. Kneeling to give him a second change. Begging, crying for my forgiveness. Yes, I pitied him. He can be my friend I said, but never a lover again. He cried. placed his face on my lap.

It was already midnight. Then he saw us. I was speechless. I pushed my ex away and cried my heart out. I was hurt for what he did. I was hurt for I was afraid that what he saw will be the reason for us not to see each other anymore. I ran away as fast as I can. Then I saw my stranger walking towards me. He smiled. Patted my back. Told me to stop crying. He played the song that made me kiss him. I gave out a smile.

After two days, he wants to meet up at 8 in the evening. He said it is something important. I was a bit scared because I do not know what's running inside his mind for the past days. As we met, we just stayed inside his car. He asked if I've got something to tell him. I have nothing in mind. I have nothing to say. There's nothing interesting about my days. So I don't know what to say to him that he needs to know. He told me that my ex-lover talked to him and said to leave me alone. I don't know the details but all I know is that he agreed to what my ex-lover has to say. Then after we met, he messaged me 'good night' for the first time at midnight.

After that incident, we never communicated anymore. He left me hanging. I don't know what to do. My  days became lonely. I maybe alone before, but I never was lonely. Now I feel lonely, depressed. So I got no choice but talked with my ex-lover, scolded him and I want him to vanish forever. Isn't he satisfied that he already ruined my life? I cannot have new guys in my life.

In the end, I went back to my ex-lover. Yes, I need substitute to forget about him.

2 years had passed an I may haven't forgotten about him but I have moved on from him. I am also no longer together with my ex. The only lesson that I want to share to the readers is that enjoy life to the fullest. Do crazy things if you wanted as long as you are happy with it. Live life to the fullest. You may have regretted but at least you have learned something from it.

Installous: UNINSTALLED

                For all the I Phone users out there, a very sad news had been delivered to all its users, the piracy community Hacklous had been shot down including their most popular application Installous which offered access to free, pirated versions of premium apps developed for Apple's iOS platform.

"We are very sad to announce that Hackulous is shutting down," reads a post on the Hackulous homepage. "After many years, our community has become stagnant, and our forums are a bit of a ghost town. It has become difficult to keep them online and well-moderated, despite the devotion of our staff."

            Installous is an application that provide users with jailbroken Iphones to download free applications from various sources. It is more like an Apple Store but it’s just free for the users. Some applications, which can be downloaded in Installous, are newly released especially game apps. After an hour of its release in the Apple Store, it will definitely be free in Installous.

            It has been said that the shutdown of Installous is linked to the emergence of a new application called Zeusmos, an application that provides users with a license and provisioning profile that allows them to install pirated apps; it is available for free on jailbroken devices or sold as a premium download for non-jailbroken units. It is like Installous but in a better way. It does not require you to jailbreak your iOS devices.

            "The intent of Zeusmos will be to SOLELY code sign applications," the app's creator, 15-year-old Kevin Ko, said in a statement. "We will not be supporting or encouraging any form of piracy through the link providers or even via search (although they were based off the iTunes API). The intents as I have stated was to allow open development for developers. Recently I've had the time to add this feature into Zeusmos called the 'Exclusive Apps' section where developers who got their application rejected in the App Store were able to post their application on here for free and share their application to a large audience of users. Such applications even included Grooveshark and many others."

            As of now, due to the loss of Installous, a lot of applications came in to prove as alternative to Installous. But so far, Installous was the best app ever to those jailbroken iOS devices. It is hard to say this but Installous: uninstalled!

CHOCOLATE: Makes you Slim :)

Good news chocolate-lovers! Studies show that chocolates can also have a good side. Researchers recently discovered the ingredients in chocolate that can fasten up your metabolism. So readers who wish to start having a like to this food, well then, good for you.

Even though chocolate is known for its big calories, it contains ingredients that may give you weight loss rather than fats, as scientists believe.

A lot of scientists have suggested that chocolate may be healthy for us. Other studies have claimed chocolate may be good for the heart. Especially dark chocolates, these contain antioxidants which can help in cleaning up harmful chemicals in a human's body that can damage our cells.

Researchers from US believe that antioxidant compounds, called catechins, can improve lean muscle mass and reduce weight.

While there's no harm in allowing yourself a treat by eating chocolate now and again, eating too much might be harmful because it often contains a lot of sugar and fat too. But just so you know, studies didn't take into account the health of the people who eat chocolates, only their weight.

And if you really want to be on a diet, you still benefits more by still eating fresh fruits and vegetables.

Upside Down Movie

 

 

Upside Down is a  romantic fantasy film directed by Juan Diego Solanas which was released in the theaters last 2012.

It all started when Adam trespass a lot that was not supposed to be entered by humans because that area is where 2 planets can almost touch each other. Two planets live next to one another. The gravity has 3 rules:

1. All matter is pulled by the gravity of the world that it comes from, and not the other.
2. An object's weight can be offset by matter from the opposite world (inverse matter).
3. After some time in contact, matter in contact with inverse matter burns.

These worlds are separated from one another and  they are not allowed to communicate from one another illegally unless they work or pass through the company called "Transworld".

People from down below are known for its poverty due to a war that happened. People from up above are known for its wealth and living in a paradise as what people from down below interpreted.

As Adam trespass, he met a girl named Eden, a girl from Up, and tried to talk to her. They communicated so long that when they grew up they became an item. One day, they were caught by the guards and right in front of Adam's eyes, Eden fell to the ground in the planet Up which was around 3 floors away.

Years had passed and Adam has no whereabouts on Eden until he saw her on TV. Adam immediately applied in Transworld where Eden works without thinking on what the consequences will be if ever he will find her there. But at last! He saw her but there's a big problem. She got amnesia.

Will Eden remember Adam? If she does, how will they work their relationship since they came from different worlds. Find out on how the story will end by purchasing a copy of this movie. It is thrilling and Jim Sturgess, Adam, is so cute that you can't keep your eyes off of him. Kirsten Dunst, who played the role as MJ in Spiderman, is Eden.

Enjoy!

T.G.I. Fridays

The month of February is coming and for sure a lot of couples are swarming to reserve seats in their favorite restaurants for a date. Even families would like to go out and celebrate because February is not just for couples but as what they’ve said, ”It’s for all the love in the world.”  

During the past few years, the city of Cagayan de Oro has been improving and a lot of good dining restaurants were emerging. Nothing beats a well-ambiance dining experience with the person you love. As for me, it’s more of just giving a review but I want to help people out there choosing the best restaurant to go. With the opening of Centrio Ayala Mall, it also opened one of which I consider a good dining restaurant, T.G.I. Fridays.

Why is it called T.G.I. Fridays? As we all know Friday is the day were people try to celebrate or have rest after 5 days of working as well young people to go out and have after days of relentless studying. It is basically a fun day, a rest day or a happy day for everyone.  That’s why T.G.I. Fridays would like to give you the best dining experience not just only on Fridays but every day. The restaurant stands for their tag line, “In here, it’s always Friday.” But before considering to eat at T.G.I. Fridays, it is for me to warn that very good dining experience comes with a price and I quote it ”a price!” To maintain their best possible service as well as food, T.G.I. Friday’s prices are quite high. But to risk for it for someone special, well it’s a small price to pay for her/his smile.
