Cameo Roles and Mundane Affairs
A few days ago, I was just blogging about my cousin Mai giving birth to a premature baby boy. Sadly though, baby Jef Angelo passed away after 18 hours due to weak lungs.
Blithe and I heart farm games like Farm Craft, Farm Mania and of course the best of all – Ranch Rush! We were almost late in submitting the entries since I saw the contest announcement a day before the deadline. I was a bit hesitant at first as we might not make it to the deadline. Well, it just happened that I was almost done with work that time so I started working on my ranch for the first design category. Good thing Blithe has her own RR2 game pack, so she started working on her design too.
After a few cups of coffee and cans of soda, each of us submitted our entry to the 2nd Annual Ranch Rush2 Best Level Contest. So like I said, there were 2 design categories – functionality and creativity. And we WON FIRST PRIZE in both categories!! We were rooting for the creativity entry to win but I was surprised that we grabbed first prize too in the functionality category. I sooo love playing Ranch Rush that’s why my happiness is doubled!
Here are our entries. You can find these too in Ranch Rush Facebook Page.

Creativity:
I used to have Twitter for Blackberry and Übertwitter on my phone. It came to a point that I have to choose which one I should use. You see, the Bold 9000’s flash memory is just 125MB unlike the Onyx or what you call the Bold 9700, which has 256MB. My flash memory is somewhat in a critical stage right now since I have installed a lot of apps (evil laugh) – like smrtguard, memoryUp, Captureit, wavesecure, Paypal, Plurk , Tumblr. , Facebook, ubertwitter, dictionary, Ms office, eBay, Time magazine, twitter for BB , some calorie counter app and a lot more! Thus, I need to choose – Twitter for BB or ubertwitter. I read a few online reviews and most people would choose ubertwitter because it’s lighter. Some users would go for the official twitter app because according to them, it looks better.
I’ve been using ubertwitter for more than a month now I decided to take it out and go with the twitter for bb instead. Since I had both on my phone, I need to find out which one’s better. The official twitter for blackberry is a newbie, launched. just April of this year. I admit, twitter for blackberry is pretty – it gives you that genuine look and feel of twitter…makes you wanna spend more time in twitter! However, it sucks up my battery faster than a black hole! Seriously, I needed to recharge my batt every 12 hours. Well, ubertwitter is lighter and travel-friendly albeit the interface is not that attractive, admit that.
I want the ubertwitter’s friendliness but it looks plain and boring. I will stick with T for BB for the meantime but I hope they come up pretty soon with a version that is batt-friendly or I’ll switch back to plain ole’ ubertwitter.
Jewels’ Treo died on my hands a week ago while I was transferring some files from her phone to my memory card. The poor kid cried, literally, and she demanded that I get her a blackberry or an iPhone (rolls eyes). I tried saving her phone the day it broke down but I guess my skills were not going along with me. So, I thought okay, well I gotta buy a new phone for her (complaining).
My first stop was at ebay. Saw a Treo Pro which was put up for auction with a starting bid of P10 and Blackberry Curve 8520 at 14k. Last night though when I saw her phone lying lifelessly at the console table in my parents’ room, I thought I should tinker this junk again. Haha. So I opened it up cleaned and pushed some buttons.
And voila! It was running again. However, it wasn’t able to detect any network signal which disappointed me greatly. So a just a few hours ago, I decided to dissect the phone again and was able to fix the internal antenna. Yay me! I guess my ass was saved, no? Thanks to my ability to tinker things 
April has finally arrived. Summer is indeed here. With the daily rotating brownouts still going on, it becomes a huuuuge oven at home for a couple of hours or three. April also means that the uber popular iPad is coming! Woot! Okay, my lappy’s for sale when the iPad arrives here, any takers? 
So April, what do you have in store for me? I’m supposed to accompany Blithe to her oath taking in Manila. Problem is, I’m a big spender and a sucker for luxurious accommodations (finally admitting it). And since I’m scheduled for a late summer trip on May, I’m still thinking if I should cut a huge chunk from my savings to fund that trip to manila. Unless Blithe will be willing to pay for even 1 night on that ultra plush accommodation I wanted. LOL.
Do you have any travel plans this summer? I would love love love to go to the beach but it’s about a 2-hour drive from here and I don’t have that urge to get a tan. Like what I said before, I’m not a sun worshiper – I only love the beach at night 
So if you’re planning on going to the beach anytime soon, don’t forget to bring tons of SPF, sunglasses, plenty of water, a good book and your handy mp3 player!
