Plants Vs. Zombies Now on iPhone

The game Plants vs. Zombies from Popcap Games said they are going to coming out to iPhones and iPod Touch this late 2009.

Plants vs. Zombies is a game like tower defense. You are going to defend your house and your brain by using plants and your defense skills to kill and fight zombies lurking in your lawn to take you brain.
Playing Plants vs. Zombies is very amusing as you see lots of zombies with different styles. You can see zombies wearing cool suits, using a ride, bringing their own sheilds like broken screen doors, but the most attractive zombie is the zombie immitating Michael Jackson dancing Thriller while attacking and killing your plants.
And as for the plants, you can see any kinds of plants having their own ways of attack. They immobilize zombies while other bombards zombies untill they drop their head off.

More and more is becoming amused with this game because if you reach the Endless Survival mode, you will really have to release your all as zombies keep coming endlessly.

Here are some screenshots of the game:

District 9: My Own Review

noreply@blogger.com (Ice Gavin) — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 21:43:00 +0000

The is the best sci-fi movie I have ever seen. There's a mix of excitement, anger, sadness, etc. At first it was really annoying because the camera keeps moving but when you watch it until the end you will really hold your breath at every scene as the actor fights for his life.

The actor accidentally sprayed himself in the face with a canister made by the aliens, and little by little he is becoming an alien. He was about to lose courage but the love for his wife made him stronger. The fight for his life is very dramatic! This is really a nice movie.

Watch the trailer here:

AOC 22" LCD wide screen

noreply@blogger.com (Ice Gavin) — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 18:15:00 +0000

I bought this new LCD screen from Octagon Computer Store
(Philippines). AOC 22" wide screen with the resolution reaching up to 1680x1050.

Before, I was using an LCD screen that resolution is only 1024x768 and I'm not used to it. I broke the screen of my laptop that's why I used this as an alternative.

Opening tabs on my browser is an essential because of my job. With my old LCD screen, opening more than four tabs really bothers me because I can't see the titles anymore that's why I'm so eager to buy a larger screen. I decided to buy 19" LCD wide screen, when I started to search for a cheaper one
my dad told me to go and check at Octagon computer store and there I found very cheap and good LCD screens. I was supposed to buy 19" for P9,000 in other stores but this 22" screen from Octagon is only P8,500 so I changed my mind and bought the wider screen without hesitations.

Now, I'm very happy doing my job because I can open fifteen or more tabs and still I can see the tab title. Watching movies and playing my games is more exciting with this 22" LCD screen.
And for the next target, super speakers with woofers, but first I have to save.

This is my first setup. (cute slipper on the from my girlfriend)

This is my new setup now. Isn't that cool?

(Did I forgot to put the cute slipper?...)

A cut in the Asia-Pacific Cable Network 2 (APCN2) undersea submarine cable crippled connection speeds for users in the Asia-Pacific region on Wednesday, particularly in Singapore and the Philippines.

The repairs only took a few days and is now running back to normal again.

I read this article from yahoo and its quite funny because it is REALLY true. It's really irritating when you receive text messages from sombody who just sends messages without any purpose. Just goofing around and disturbing the whole people on the phonebook just to have fun with somebody.

"hey! how's life?" , "hot afternoon"

2. Texting Cult (clan)
Everybody around you is busy on their phones texting instead of eating together and or having fun together.

3. Double Message (2x sending, call and text, text and misscall)

Somebody just sends you messages two times or somebody calls you and tells you that they sent a messages, or after they send a message they ring your phone afterwards.

Somebody asks you something and then leaves everything on the air after you reply.

5. Bulk Texter
"Hey!", "What's up?", What are you doing tonight?"

6. Bored Texter
"boooooring...", "whoooosh!"

7. Show-and-Teller

8. Goobers-and-Popcorn Texter
When you are in the middle of concentrating in a very nice movie or studying and the phone of your friend keeps ringing very loud that it freaks the house out!

9. Lingering "K"
When you told somebody something and then he or she just replied with a very cute "k".

10. Needs-to-Grow-Up-Texter
"TY", "GB", "TC"...(mxta na u?, wer u nw? hir me na!)

simply irritating and annoying.

Philippines and US Presidents Dinners Triggered Anger for Filipinos.

noreply@blogger.com (Ice Gavin) — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 05:31:00 +0000

Philippine president's two dinners with US president Barack Obama made a very big issue that went skyrocketing and remains hot on news for weeks.

As Philippine media sources flagged the issue, protesters and oppositions dug down and made everything complicated and made Filipinos mad for the President. Dinner with fellow politicians is already anticipated but the main issue is about the money that the president spent during the dinner. The president claimed that they were only invited for the dinner and spent nothing, the payment for the dinner was hosted by the other side so no issues must be made.
But as the president came back, issues came out that they hosted the dinner that cost $15,000 and $20,000 that's almost 1.72 million in Philippine peso value.

Other politicians complained about the expenses for the reason that many Filipinos can barely eat once a day and yet the president is spending too much just to show off and impress another president and not even showing a care for the fellow countrymen.

Since then, more investigations are conducted and are about to be conducted from the plane tickets, accomodations, and other expenses made on the presidents trip. Some issues also came out connected to this like, they only made the issue so that people will hate the president and will stop her for running another term.

Is this how Philippine president waste money for their own benefit and not even showing care for the fellow countrymen?

Kids Searched "Sex" and "Porn" on Internet: OnlineFamily.Norton

noreply@blogger.com (Ice Gavin) — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 19:48:00 +0000

As a child age, discovering new things and learning are on top of the priority. These includes using computers and using the internet. Children at these times use the internet more often because it has direct results of searches for studies and learning , videos, games, any kind of entertainment and of course pornography.

Symantec made OnlineFamily.Norton to monitor a childs activity on using the computer and internet. They released a list of the top searches done by the kids during their activity on computers.

Children used search engines to open sites and not by the address bar since they don't know this yet. So all the keywords that they use are tracked and the top keywords that appeared on the list from Symantec are very surprising.

Unexpected keywords are on top of the list that include social sites such as Facebook and MySpace. Search engines appeared first on the list, Social sites are in the second and third and "sex" came forth, also "porn" appeared on the list.

With OnlineFamily.Norton, parents are now more cautious about their childrens actions when using the computer and internet. Monitoring anything from searches and instant messengers, etc.

Online Job Application

noreply@blogger.com (Ice Gavin) — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 17:00:00 +0000

Online job application is the new trend nowadays for companies especially on technology-involved companies. They use this because it is more accessible and not too hassle for the applicants and for the HR’s of course. This is the easiest way of job application since you don’t have to go to the company; you just have to search them through the internet, find out if they are hiring more people, and just fill up the form on their sites. All you have to do is to wait for their response if you qualify for the position you are applying. This is how easy online job application is, BUT…can you rely on online job application?

I have tried so many online job application sites but most of it don’t respond or seems like they don’t care about the applicants. They don’t send any emails telling you that you are not qualified for the position or any emails for some job position recommendation. Tried some and they responded but I just can’t waste my time going in their companies that are hundreds of kilometers away and not even sure if I qualify for that certain position or not. These companies seems like they don’t care about applicants that are just around there location.

This is why in some ways I don’t trust and rely on online job application. Its better going directly to the companies and apply, or try the Job fairs. Just don’t mind the hassles because it is always a part of it, even in online job applications there are still hassle but not as hassles if you go to the companies or job fairs.

But!...It’s still good to try on online job applications too, maybe you have your luck today and might get hired. Don’t stick into something that online job application is not reliable anymore, there are just some.

noreply@blogger.com (Ice Gavin) — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 08:45:00 +0000

If you were to choose antivirus software for you computer, would you choose and rely on free antivirus softwares or purchase an authenticated antivirus? Viruses swarms the internet everyday, they destroy files that are very valuable and important. This is the number one and common problem for computers. But antiviruses are also made to stop these kinds of problems, provide protection and vulnerablity to your personal files and documents.

You can find free antivirus softwares in the internet. Totally free that you don't have to spend anything for the protection of your computer, BUT...
do you think you have the toughest security if you use free antivirus? You can't expect you can use all the features in a free antivirus, who would make something very important for free? and don't expect you will have 100% protection for your computer. But how about purchasing an antivirus software? It's very obvious, since you purchase it you must have everything that is worth paying for. 100% protection, use every feature of the software, and no problem for updates.

Is is not worth spending a few bucks for your own good?

noreply@blogger.com (Ice Gavin) — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 08:39:00 +0000

Making or editing a video is not that hard and complicated anymore. Windows Movie Maker is the very basic of all video editor for now. With this, you can make simple effects, your own titles and subtitles, you can insert something on the video, insert new transitions to make it cool but how about going to a next level of making and editing a videos?

These are only softwares that I use to make and edit videos.

Sony Vegas is one the advanced movie maker and editor, it has new features, new effects, and new kind of transitions. This is not easy to use though but this is interesting and good to learn.

Adobe Premiere is the most advanced software for editing and making videos as far as I know. It has the most advance effects, and high class features that only people who spent a lot of time to learn this knows how to use it. How about you?

what do you use for editing your videos?

Record Keystrokes with Qmacro

noreply@blogger.com (Ice Gavin) — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 07:43:00 +0000

This software that I found on the internet is something useful in some aspect and helps me spend less effort and saves time that only one keystroke does all the things I want.

This is a software that records your keystrokes and mouse activities and repeat it over time as long as you want it and make it stop as you wish. This is just like a bot for online games, or maybe an auto clicker for your mouse or a one-press-does-it-all. You just have to input the keys, put some delays, there is a little bit of programming involve for more advanced usage, but you don't have to program it if you only need the basic keystrokes.

Don't be afraid if your antivirus defines this as a virus because it is just a Company name, I am already using this software until now and nothing happens in my computer. You can just include this on the whitelist of your antivirus so it will consider this software.

Here are some screenshots of this software:
