While studying for remedial law. Prof Andy bau once told me we had to keep healthy while studying. Blood flows better to the brain after a good workout.

My iPhone 4S unboxing!

2012-01-06T00:33:00.001+08:00

My much delayed iPhone 4S unboxing.

Last November 2011 I ordered my 64 gig iPhone 4S from the US Apple Store. It was delivered to my US address before Christmas. My uncle brought it home to the Philippines soon after.

I was so busy playing Skyrim during the Christmas break I did not have time to set it up until recently but I have been enjoying it. I thought it'd be just like my iPad 2 but its not. I temporarily enrolled my postpaid Globe line to Powersurf 499 for mobile internet so I can play with all the widgets wherever I go (Google Maps!!!).

This is how I woke up to my toys. In their original delivery boxes and packaging.

This is my Dodocase. Thats a kindle inside but the Dodocase is for my iPad 2. The Dodocase has my initials on the front.

I love the Dodocase but that's for another entry.

Awww pre-package unboxing shots!

This is my Jett Case Aluminum for my iPhone 4S. I got it because its one of the only cases I've seen that looks like it's part of the phone. It is screwed on and is made from, you guessed it, aluminum!

I love the Simpsons. Period.

AND THE UNBOXING OF THE 4S BEGINS! YAHOO!

Side box shot!

64 Gigs well worth it!

Almost unboxed!

First boot shots!

Interior box shots

First connection to the mother Mac

iPhone meet Nokia 8800 Carbon Arte

The 4S gets the Aluminum Jett case on!

Yeah I know there are bubbles on the back but I don't care na. Got too tired getting it perfect in front so I kinda let it go for the back part. It's not very noticeable anyway.

Tada!

My iPhone 4S unboxing with other gadget cameos.

Going nuts waiting

2012-01-05T19:29:00.001+08:00

For class to end! Four hours for one subject making me go nuts. Helps that the prof teaches well

Thanks Ayala Land!

2011-12-24T14:51:00.000+08:00

I wasn't really planning on giving my iPad 2 a case since it felt so good naked, but I got this Ayala Land gift which I thought was pretty cool.

When I opened it I thought it was just a pen, card and pad holder. Made of real leather (well it smells it)

My mom said it looked like it could hold an iPad. I dismissed it but then tried it out when I got home.

Well Mom may not know her tech, but like a great Mom she knows her sizes and what do ya know, when I looked at the corners they had slots for the iPad!!!

Now I have the iPad case I've been searching for; One made out of real leather, with card holders and a pen holder with padpaper pa!!! Talk about how things just workout for free!

I guess the Dodocase will still be used when I have to hide my iPad among books but this was just an awesome gift (aside from the iPhone 4s, thanks again Mom!)

Merry Christmas Eve Everyone!!!

Overkill by Colin Hay

I can't get to sleep
I think about the implications
Of diving in too deep
And possibly the complications

Especially at night
I worry over situations
I know I'll be alright
Perhaps it's just imagination

Day after day it reappears
Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away

Alone between the sheets
Only brings exasperation
It's time to walk the streets
Smell the desperation

At least there's pretty lights
And though there's little variation
It nullifies the night from overkill

Day after day it reappears
Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away
Come back another day

I can't get to sleep
I think about the implications
Of diving in too deep
And possibly the complications

Especially at night
I worry over situations
I know I'll be alright
It's just overkill

Day after day it reappears
Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away
Ghosts appear and fade away
Ghosts appear and fade away

Monster energy!

2011-12-09T00:53:00.001+08:00

I love
Monster energy! You can find it at s n r and it gives you that awesome kick without the bad after effect I usually get from local energy drinks. I prefer the full energy without the juice part though.

Going nuts lazy sunday

2011-12-04T13:43:00.001+08:00

Should be studying for commercial law review but I think I'll jog first after finishing scrubs season 2.

MODERN WARFARE 3!!!

2011-11-08T19:57:00.001+08:00

Went to Rockwell to get my MW3 today. Got there 12nn but was told only the PS3 version was available. 360 would come later around 4pm.

I didn't want to go home empty handed so really thought of getting the PS3 version, anyway I have friends who always wanna play on the PS3 and I rarely use mine. Patience prevailed and went back around 3pm. I got the last copy and was one of the only adults (there was another wearing a barong also) in line to get a copy for the 360.

There was a kid behind me crying cause apparently I got the last copy (I didn't know!) well too bad. Life's like that kid! Mom wouldn't have let you play all night anyway on a weekday. Big boys can play though!

On a side note, if it weren't for Modern Warfare 3 I wouldn't have found out that class started today. I'll get the PS3 version soon to play with my PS friends.

Max RAM UPGRADE!

2011-10-27T16:22:00.000+08:00

I did it! I upgraded my Macbook Pro Unibody to 8 gigs of RAM! This maxes it out but the gains are noticeable.

I got it from OWC, ordered it Sunday and it arrived today 3PM. Two hours before the FEDEX estimated time of 5PM. I used priority international mail and paid a total of 5 thousand Philippine Pesos including customs taxes (Yes I pay my taxes).

Before I installed the RAM, my Mac Activity Monitor looked like this:

Several days after Sunday, watching my FEDEX Tracker:

Elna received it for me and the unboxing and installing began!

Had to open the MBP fully for the first time to install these:

Here's my loyal MBP nekid!

That's my 750 gig WD hard drive I installed a few months back.

Popping up the old RAM, installed the new ones, then BAM! Started the computer and got this:

Hurrah! 8 gigs of RAM for my trusty Macbook Pro! Considering I was always borderline using up my old 4 gig upon boot-up, I'm happy that my usual browsing habits not leaves about 4 gigs left to play.

I love tech, and I love tech upgrades!!!

Battlefield 3!

Tuition day but more importantly, battlefield 3 day! Got a frew shirt with codes pa

Trying to make the most

2011-10-23T12:11:00.001+08:00

I'm trying to make the most of this last weekend break. I hear everything gets a bit tiring from here. Ordered more ram for my MacBook pro.

Breaktime with Batman Arkham City

2011-10-19T19:27:00.000+08:00

Yes, it has been awhile since I last posted. I'm on my last few months in law school before I graduate and start a new journey towards studying for the bar. While on sem break, I thought I'd start checking out some apps to make posting faster.

I found this: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/blogger/id459407288, its the Blogger app for the iPhone. When I get my iPhone 4S (Hopefully soon), I'll be able to update this blog faster and more regularly because it will be less of a tedium to download photos to my mac, upload to blogger then type.

For now, I'll be playing Batman Arkham City! Check it out!

Rein

2011-08-23T01:16:00.002+08:00

Recent shoot of Rein, my classmate from Ateneo Law. I used a simple diffuser with on-cam flash and natural light. Nothing fancy but it got the job done. Not the best lighting conditions (sun was setting) and my already wet hands were shakings but it was doable.

Even more Tech unboxing! I love New tech!

2011-08-11T13:50:00.013+08:00

Finally got my new logitech remote to replace the old one destroyed after numerous dropping. I put the padding on the Sony remote on my new Logitech. Things work great, and even better since this remote has new buttons, a colour lcd and seems to be working faster. No more lugging three to four remotes and back to one!!!

I love new tech and the unboxing!

Finally my busted Logitech 525 has been replaced by my newer, faster and slicker Logitech 700. Performance is faster the layout feels more practical. It also has more buttons so I am able to assign more custom functions. Highly recommended for the tech geek who loves to control his gadgets with a single remote.

I love my tech!

2011-08-09T02:19:00.000+08:00

Bought a mini display port to HDMI plug for my Macbook Pro. I was able to connect my laptop to my LED TV. It was awesome. I don't really know what I'll do with it if ever since the TV can already surf the net on its own but it was cool to just try.

Whats up with facebook?

2011-07-22T13:34:00.000+08:00

What's up with facebook and all the junk alerts I've been getting?

The first three alerts come from people I don't even know! I've locked my account from being found in searches but I still keep getting alerts from people that lead nowhere.

Weird. Does this mean Google+ is rising and Facebook is collapsing system wise?

Black Ops Avatar and shoesies

2011-07-20T00:03:00.000+08:00

Been busy with my thesis so I haven't been posting. Although I have been playing a lot of Black Ops recently. Been kicking ass Kill/Death Ratio wise. Helps me relax I guess. I don't know why people think videogames are for kids. Most adults and billionaires I know have used videogames either to make them big or to relax.

Well saw an Avatar that made me laugh. It was a hotdog receiving mustard.

Bought new shoes recently. Asics Nimbus 12s to replace my Nimbus 9s which served me till its utter destruction (from all the running and walking, rain or shine I guess.)

I highly recommend them to anyone that want soft shoes for running.
