Great news or a new problem? NTC has sent a directive to the big 3 mobile companies here in the Philippines. There were no rates given yet but it will be ? per 6 seconds? From what I’ve heard the first 6 seconds will be for a small amount then the succeeding charges will be different.
I don’t want to be a pessimist nor an antagonist to the idea but whatever rates they propose, we can do nothing about it since mobile communications is becoming more of a necessity than luxury.
The new voter registration ended with a few hundred thousand Filipinos really stuck to the old habit of waiting to the last day of registration.
- Some people really doesnt know when to change
- They put the blame on COMELEC, Meralco and the rain (As far as I know this has been going on for a long time now)
- This is a part of the official document released by COMELEC last year:
REGISTRATION SCHEDULE
As Per COMELEC Resolution No. 8514
as amended in COMELEC Resolution No. 8585(Promulgated: February 12, 2009)

(Mondays – Saturdays including holidays)

- The people simply ignored this notice tsk tsk tsk

I’m currently working on a new design for my website. I got a lot of things in mind to make better SEO (Search Engine Optimization) results. It may take awhile before I upload the new design since I’m working with Illustrator CS4 while trying to decide whether I should stay on an HTML based website or go full flash. I’ve read a few articles saying that full flash websites does not work too well with SEO.
While writing this post I began to realize why some coffee shops with free WiFi access set their room temperature to 16 or so degrees… Unless you are really used to this temperature, you’d last for only an hour or so because of the bitter cold that numbs your palms. Funny how they only keep the electrical outlets inside the shop and yes the WiFi access extends to the a certain radius but some coffee shops does not offer an extension outlet. If you plan to stay for more than an hour on this coffee shop to work for an hour or two using your laptop either you bring a jacket or freeze to death. We marked the mobile experience here as “FAILED”. This coffee shop is just besides RoadHouse Grill in Boni Highstreet.

” On June 12, 2009, the AKO MISMO dog tags will be made available to the public for the very first time. The dog tags will be sold at P40 each; the proceeds of which will go to our beneficiary charity partners and to the socio-civic activities which we will be mounting nationwide. It is such an important event for us that we declared it the AKO MISMO DOG TAG DAY which will be held at the Bonifacio Global City Open Field in Taguig City.
The event will start at 2pm when we start selling the dog tags to the public. The dog tag will be your entrance ticket to the events of the day.
From 2PM onwards, you have the opportunity to mill around and check out the eleven charity booths we have set up, as well as other activity ! booths.

I found this very interesting wall somewhere inside Intramuros, Manila. Philippine vandalism has improved. This is not one of your day to day “OUST Gloria” or any other anti-government wall vandalism. These people took time to paint the walls using different canisters of paint and as far as I can see it took a lot of effort. Below are some of the pictures that I took that day. I wasn’t able to take as much because my phone was almost empty. I’m not sure though if this is a good thing or not since Intramuros is a historical place in the heart of Metro Manila.
