Habitat for Humanity

Last Saturday, August 29, 2009 I volunteer to Habitat for Humanity to build houses somewhere in Pasig. The experience is truly an eye opener experience. It shows how lucky and fortunate we are right now. The project in Pasig started last February and expected to end after 18 months but due to some problems, the foreman said that they are behind the schedule. They are planning to build 13 buildings which will house 400 plus families. Each of the family will have a 20 sqm lot and will have to pay 150,000 pesos.


Me, my SEF(Ianne), Raymond, Ged and Dindo had a great time there! We shovel, pass bricks, etc. I was so excited to start the activity! My energy was so high that time, even though me and SEF did not have any sleep since we've came from our night shift work.  I am assisting Ianne from collecting sands and then we trade places, after shoveling some sands, my thumb got injured! Blood was flowing out of it. After several minutes I asked for a timed out since I my shoulder is getting weak. I remember this feeling back in HS when I was learning how to hit tennis balls and serve. It was so tiring! Then our next activity was passing of bricks! At first I thought it was an easy, but after several bricks, Im complaining for a time out! I am so ashamed since I feel I was so weak and the weakest link on the chain. hahaha! Some homeowners children are there also but they are not showing any sign of weakness and tiredness. Oh, Im such a whiner! But of course I just continue to work until the end!

After the activity, Dindo treat us in Heaven and Eggs at Eastwood!

All in all, the experience is so worth it! I My whole body is aching right now especially my back, but just thinking that I helped a lot of people that day, knowing that somehow I made some change in their lives, I can endure this pain. For sure this will not be my first and last volunteering event!

Jailbreaking

*AT YOUR OWN RISK*

Steps to jailbreak your Iphone/Itouch using the latest release of RedSn0w 0.7.2. I am assuming by now that you have the latest firmware.

1. Download this(RedSn0w 0.7.2) and save it on your desktop.
2. Locate your firmware. ( Usually it is iPod2,1_3.0_7A341_Restore.ipsw)
On XP they are located in
C:\Documents and Settings\ YOUR USER NAME \Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates\
On Vista the are located in
C:\Users\ YOUR USER NAME \AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates\
3.Extract redsn0w-win_0.7.2.zip to desktop and run redsn0w.exe.
4. Click on Browse and find your firmware file, select it, and click Open.
5. RedSn0w will tell you that the ISPW has been successfully identified. Click Next.
6. Select to Install Cydia and click Next. ( I have a problem before when I put a check on ICY so dont install ICY, you can install it on Cydia.)
7. Turn off your Ipod/phone.
8. Connect it on your PC and click Next.
9. RedSn0w gives you instructions. It will enter on DFU mode now. First hold the power button for 3 seconds.
10. Keep holding the power button and start holding the home button for 10 seconds.
11. Release the power button but continue holding the home button for 30 seconds.
12. And then just let Redsnow finish its thing and viola! A jailbroken itouch!

Will post later/tomorrow/someday on how to install a cracked games on jailbroken itouch/phone.

The Time Traveller's Wife

Rating:★★★
Category:Movies
Genre: Romance
Another favorite book of mine that turned into movie that played by Rachel McAdams and Eric Bana. I can say that the movie is passable and kinda worth watching for all the romantics junkie out there. As most of the book turned into movie franchise, there are lot of scenes that are deleted in the movie that sometimes you'll just left there wondering why. And the most sad part is they did not show my favorite part, the last part when I cried on the book, where Clair is old and still waiting for Henry to appear. Tearjearking moment when Clair a greyed haired old women see her younger looking husband.Oh so sad...Anyway, Im sure if you read the book you'll watch this movie too out of curiosity and will you pass seeing Eric Bana butt naked? Oh come on! lol!

District 9

Rating:★★★★★
Category:Movies
Genre: Science Fiction & Fantasy
From Peter Jackson comes another great movie called District 9 directed by Neill Blomkamp. It is also based by his short film called Alive in Joburg.

This film is about aliens having their mothership arrived on earth above Johannesburg, South Africa. After several years human decided to check out the ship and found out that a large number of aliens are living there in a terrible conditions. Thus come District 9, a place somewhere in South Africa that settled the alien population. And then this comes the part that Im too lazy to tell the story and just tell you to watch this movie because for me its a very good movie and worth the bucks that you're gonna spend in the cinema.

And if I remember my history I know that there's a District 6 in South Africa that used to separate blacks from white. I don't know if my memory is correct. Anyway just correct me if Im wrong.

Marie Digby's Concert




August 1, 2009 at NBC Tent The Fort 8PM

Great concert and super worth the price!

dahil 1 year na kami...




TWW IT service desk team building na KKB

Aug 1 and Aug 2

The start of August is a full blast for me. Team Building and Marie Digby's Concert and a reunion of some of my high school classmates/friends



Team Building
At first I thought that our team building will not push through, I was frustrated since I came prepared on the office with my clothes and stuff. But I have the coolest teammates and our team building is a success! Though I was not able to join the swim part, I had a great time eating the food that Raymond prepared for us and of course sleeping! hahaha! I always sleep on team building. Mon, Im always hands down to you for your dedication for our team, hope you'll not change!


Marie Digby's Concert
8PM at NBC Tent The Fort. It did not start exactly at 8PM a band performed first, sorry I don't know the band. Then after that Marie started to perform. Me and my tbff have a great seat! If only we bought our tickets earlier, maybe we're in the front row! Anyway, her concert was beyond my expectation! I honestly did not expect great from her since I saw her performed at Sis and Eat Bulaga. She performed songs from her previous album and her new one. Marie's voice was so smooth and soothing! What you hear from her album is what you get in her concert! I love her when she came down the stage just to be with us, her fans. I rarely see an artist came down to stage so when she did that it was a plus sign! After the concert I had a chance to have my cd signed by her. And the bonus part of it was when she hugged me! I was shocked because I was talking to her and she stand up and hugged me out of nowhere,I was not prepared for that moment! whoa! Super duper bonus! So very nice of her! Conversation part:
me: "Hello Marie, my name is Dianne and Im following you on your twitter!"
Marie: Oh, that was so nice of you! What's your account name?"
me: bent_33
Marie: Sounds familiar...I'll look for you certainly
Me: And Im a Digbyholics
Marie: (stand up and hugs me!)
me: (shocked...still shocked...)
marie: I love all the digbyholics, you guys are so great!
me: thank you and hope you'll come back soon here! Can I have a photo with you?
Marie: Of course!
(photo)
Me: can I have my friend over there to have a photo of you too?(yung manong guard nagmamaepal na!kinuha na nga yung poster ko eh, bawal na daw magpasign...)
Marie: Anything for a digbyholic!
(photo of me, my tbff and Marie)
After that the guard escorted us out. All I can say is the price of the concert ticket was way way beyond OK for me because of these experience! Marie Digby is one of the coolest and nicest artist that I've ever met and I will be one of her many many great fans. I can say also that her fans was a great people. So friendly! I got a chance to talked to many of them. So nice having a conversations and making new friends!
