Be Derek’s new Anna!

August 31, 2012 2:14 pm | Leave a Comment - Posted by

Today, internet media is indeed making a lot of improvements. For one, Youtube artists are becoming famous to the point they become celebrities and singers (remember Justin Bieber and Charice Pempengco?)

And today, internet media does not only serve entertainment but also self fulfillment and confessions of love. Such as with Derek’s confession of his feelings to a girl he likes.

 

It’s not just the 100 views that made this story a hit (knowing the fact that it was his mom all along) but also that Anna doesn’t approve of Derek’s video nor his feelings, so heartbreaking!

Why o why? It’s sad because of all efforts, this one would have been the sweetest right? (Well, especially for the girls of the internet :3) Then again, maybe Anna has reasons? She could have been a bit nicer though, a Youtube reply is harsh this way!

Fortunately, Derek’s family is very supportive and caring. After all, being heart broken for the girl you like isn’t a very happy experience but rather depressing :-S

Poor Derek, being rejected after his whole-heartily-sang-song for dear Anna. Wasn’t the song catchy and full of emotions for her? But well, life goes on. Maybe there’s another twist of event?

Be Derek's new Ana!

Be Derek’s new Ana!

Maybe you could be Derek’s new Anna! I would want to be too…but I happen to be taken already (ooops!) Not only do you get to be his Anna but also be part of the next big hit commercial from PLDT myDSL. You also get to take home a Samsung  Ultrabook! Yay!

You simply need to submit a video entry on why you should be Derek’s new Anna. What are you waiting for?

Google Releases Chrome for iPhone and iPad

June 29, 2012 6:43 am | Leave a Comment - Posted by

Finally, Google releases Google Chrome for iOS devices. For quite some time now, most iOS users were depending on Dolphin Browser and other fancy browsers that could compare to Chrome’s features. Now that the official is released, what do you think will it bring? Perhaps Safari will have to go now?

However, those who have tried out claims it’s not really Google Chrome but rather still the built-in OS because of this:

 

Google’s browser UI wrapped around the Webkit rendering engine

I haven’t tried it but about to download, it’s available in iTunes now so give it a try! Google Chrome - iTunes App Store

Samsung Galaxy Gio S5660

June 11, 2012 8:21 pm | Leave a Comment - Posted by

I recently blogged about Samsung Galaxy Mini 2, and now I will be blogging about Samsung Galaxy Gio S5660. It’s not a new model but a relative of mine wanted me to know if it was good. So, here’s our breakdown.

Samsung Galaxy Gio

Samsung Galaxy Gio

Samsung GALAXY Gio is a mid-range Android 2.2 offering which has a 3.2″ 320×480 pixels display, and it has the same 800MHz chipset of the Galaxy Ace. Other features include a 3MP camera, Wi-Fi, GPS, microSD card slot and FM radio.

Samsung Galaxy Gio Specs

Specs:

Specs are not comparable to new Samsung Galaxy devices (including Samsung Galaxy Mini 2) it’s somehow near Samsung Galaxy Mini. It comes with Froyo 2.2 which is quite outdated. Actually, I haven’t heard about it much in the mobile scene as much as Samsung Galaxy Y or the minis so this is why when my relative asked me, I didn’t know about it.

Price

I researched through dbgadgets.multiply.com and its price is 10,100 PHP. Something near the Samsung Galaxy Mini 2, in my opinion, I would rather get the Samsung Galaxy Mini 2 because of the 4 gig internal memory but then again maybe this phone has other good features.

Overall

This phone is a-okay. But then again you should research more. According to websites with reviews I’ve read, like common Samsung smartphones that are currently out (which are within the budget) it does not have a very good camera, what fun is Instagram if your phone isn’t good in terms of picture taking? :)

A Techy Girl’s Dream

June 5, 2012 10:53 am | Leave a Comment - Posted by

They may be nerdy, geeky or too techy – lacking the time to even care about other things that are fancy but even techy girls dream of the same thing normal girls do. Other than the perfect boyfriend who can provide their techy needs they also want the best engagement ring.

 

A girl's dream, even a techy girl.

A girl’s dream, even a techy girl.

Better if you buy it online because most of the time, techy girls who shop online probably has a boyfriend who is not aware of the perks of online shops – you get better choices! It would save you more too. You could get designer engagement rings that will make her fall in love with you even more!

So, what are you waiting for young man?

May 26, 2012 3:36 am | Leave a Comment - Posted by

I am so late to blog about this, but just a few hours ago, the untethered jailbreak for ios 5.1.1 was out! It doesn’t work on all devices I believe. I’m still thinking of upgrading or not. But anyway, so far here are the devices that it works for:

iPhone 4S
iPhone 4
iPhone 3GS
iPad (3rd gen)
iPad 2
iPad 1
iPod touch 3G
iPod touch 4G
Apple TV 2G

I guess it’s better to update to find out the new perks of the updated iOS version!

More details can be found through Redmondpie

Kudos to pod2g, Muscle Nerd and their mates!

Now, should we upgrade?
