ONE: Graduate School

18 months of studying Management in Entrepreneurship at Ateneo Graduate School, Rockwell Center. School will officially start this February and I have 3 modules to accomplish for the whole school year. I'll be studying and working at the same time. I really really hope that I'll be able to enjoy and adapt to the hectic schedule that I will be juggling. I won't be leaving my work as part of Sales & Marketing, I'll be incorporating being a GM and will practicing the learnings on my future studies.

I really hope and pray that I will swiftly achieve and put into practice what I will be learning in school and be able to incorporate the principals/ values to our own company. I hope to prove to my Dad that choosing me is not a mistake.


TWO: Waking Up in the Morning

The first challenge that I encounter in my daily routine. I can't sleep early, no matter how I force myself. I hope my Classes will start 10AM.


THREE: Nicotine Cut-Back

Since Ateneo is a Smoke Free School and I'm pretty sure that my classes will be held on the 4th floor; I hope that my smoking habit will be controllable and (cross fingers) lessen.


FOUR: Friends

Looking forward to meet new set of friends who I can hang out or (maybe) do business with.


FIVE: Year Ending

We shall see....

I just got home from Wack-Wack with the Lipio family, attended Mass.
Wish we have driver so we can go and have desserts!

Anyways, MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL! Enjoy the rest of the evening!

Cheers!

Location: Moksha Bar at Greenhills, San Juan
Occasion: My Achie Izah’s Birthday Party



I don’t like the taste of alcohol drinks, especially tequila. I think it’s the worst tasting drink, plus the hang over I get the next day. It can turn me into a bulldozer! LOL


That night, for the very first time, I drank a shot of Bacardi 151 together with my friend Pia. Pia is like me, we both don’t like drinking alcoholic beverages. We both are allergic to beer and possess a low tolerance for Alcohol - One Shot of drink and we’re out (at least, I know I am). When Carlo (Pai’s boyfriend) handed us the shot glass filled with Bacardi 151, Me and Pia protested on sharing the shot. I took us 15 minutes to plead to everyone to agree. When they did, here’s the count down.



Three, Two, One,
Now, Fall in my arms now.






This is the nastiest drink I ever tasted!

After my hunger crisis, I’m feeling perky.

After eating my late lunch, I’ve been listening to my Bubbly Playlist of my iTunes archive and slurping my favorite cherry flavored lollypop from Starbucks. I can’t get enough of the sweetness of the lollypop can give! I guess, maybe, eating 8 pieces of Gyoza and having a grande size of Hot White Chocolate Mocha, had me feeling perky.

Anyways, I was thinking of the catchy phrases from songs that I try hard to sing in tune with. I own a very bad pair of vocal cords; you never want to hear me sing- believe me! Lolz! Going back to what I want to blog about, (since it’s my type who jumps from one topic to the other, and having a lot of off topic discussion and I ended up not finishing what I was writing on the first place, like what I am doing now, irrelevantly explaining what I don’t need to explain. I had this phrases listed down below. It’s the phrases that I find worth to be discussing about. Its one of my favorite group of words.

Phrase 1

“They can change the locks, don’t let them change your mind”

Have you been in a situation where everyone is against you’re will? And those people will persuade you, till you give up and allow yourself to do what they been wanting you to do? If your in this situation, I wonder how long will you last? Will you fight for it or just merely let go? Hmmmm…. I’m known to be a stubborn girl and with stubbornness lies the power of determination (-Baby!). Hence, I wouldn’t likely to be persuaded to something I don’t agree upon.

Phase 2

“Will write a song that turns off the lights, where both boy and girl start shaking inside”

Now who doesn’t want a good flirt huuuh? After all flirting is a form of art, which practices good communication skills with Fun! Think of flirting as an exercise, you maybe in bad shape at first, but eventually it will sculpt you up! So, try to have a carefree heart and don’t fidget!

Phase 3

“Cause people don’t take chances with their hearts”

Well, this phrase is written for me. I have a fear taking risk. Especially with my heart involve, I rather play in the safe side of the filed.
Yes, I know, Boring, No Fun! =P

Since I’m waiting for food to be delivered here in my office. I think I’ll do a little blogging to take my mind off my growling tummy. I am so hungry! I should have eat out instead, but the lack of human resource, such as my driver, who safely brings me to all my destination is busy as of the moment, which left me to order my food out and be delivered.

When I was in grade school, in particular, I thought I’ll be driving my own car when I reached college. Who have thought that when I started my driving lessons, I’ll be scared off my butt to be right next to a bus. Yes, I am scared at buses and the way bus driver’s drive. When I was young, I never really paid much attention to buses. I even road a bus during one of our filed trip in school and I wasn’t frightened by it at all.

When I started learning how to drive, the first 4 days was okey. I drove around inner streets of Mandaluyong Circle. So it was just cars and jeeps that I drive around with. On the 5th day of my driving lessons, this is where I really proven myself that I cannot driver around buses. I was on my way to Makati-Mandaluyong Bridge when a bus drove pass me. I froze. I thought that I will let go of the steering wheel, but my hands are numb, stiff, not wanting to move. The instructor had to pull us to a stop. Good thing we are just moving slow, since I love to make the car run faster than what my instructor tells me to. You see, I find a certain bliss of excitement and sensation on being in a fast running car. Where the wind blows thru my hair and I will be playing the song “My Favorite Game” from the Cardigans in the background. Just pure RAPTURE.

Hehehe! Well, so much for my “dream car”, which happens to be a Vanilla colored Porsche or a Green Apple colored Volks Beetle. Now, I only get to dream about it or enjoy it with my friends who can tolerate fast driving.

My food is here! Its time to eat!

There might be new iPhone!


A New iPhone is said to be launched this Holiday Season or in the year 2010. It said to be a diminutive version of the iPhone. I don’t know yet if it will be having the exact same spec’s of the original iPhone but it will be ¾ its size.


Rumor #1



For this Christmas Season, Apple is developing or has developed a smaller version, or a “slim down” version (as I like to call it) of iPhone. It was said that this iPhone Nano is for the Pay-as-you-go Market. Also, from the same source (GadgetTastic), not only iPhone Nano will be launched, an iPhone Shuffle might be included too.


Rumor #2



I read this info at MacLife Magazine. There are some new Gadgets that Apple is developing to be launched in the year 2010. One of the Gadget will be the iPhone Nano. It didn’t say much information of the iPhone Nano’s specs, except its size.


Other new Gadgets will be the Tablet and Glass Keyboard, which I will be posting soon.

On your MAC OS X…

Let's say you are working on your “Spaces 4” with Pages (or whatever you wanted to work on to), while iTunes is playing on “Spaces 1”. Suddenly iTunes is playing a song that you can’t remember who sang it or let's say, the Title of the song. This is where “NowPlaying” comes in handy. Instead of going to the “Spaces 4” to “Spaces 1” where iTunes is, “NowPlaying” will provide you a Song Title, Artist, and even Duration of the song being played right at your very own Menu Bar.


By installing “NowPlaying” it will automatically integrate Title/Artist/Duration into your Menu Bar, not taking up space on your Desktop. It’s a very simple app that give you a nifty additional add on to your iTunes features and it can save you time roaming from one “Spaces” to the other, especially if you have more than 4 Spaces.


Once again, NowPlayig App is available at Apple Site> Downloads>iPod+iTunes Section. Or click Here. Also, its for free!


Here are some Screenshots on how it basically works:

To change the Wifi Signal Bar, is like changing the slider. See Changing Slider Post, to see a brief “how to” flow of the customization.

Prepare the Icons for the WiFi Sign bars. The icons will be composed of two sets.

Dark Set (Low Signal)
Default_0_AirPort.png
Default_1_AirPort.png
Default_2_AirPort.png
Default_3_AirPort.png

Light Set (Hi Signal)
FSO_0_AirPort.png
FSO_1_AirPort.png
FSO_2_AirPort.png
FSO_3_AirPort.png

See Image below for Wifi Icons Size and the corresponding Icon Wifi file names.



From the Desktop, Make a Folder Structure like in the image below. Copy & Paste the Icon Sets (Dark & Light sets) at the SpringBoard Folder:




Now, change the SpringBoard Folder name to SpringBorad.app. When changed, the SpringBoard folder will look like this:



Copy and Past the Folders (of the Wifi Folder Bars) to Themes at DiskAid. See Image below:





When Done:
- Disconnect iPhone from DiskAid.
- Reboot iPhone.
- Select the Wifi Folder at WinterBoard.

Turn on Wifi and this how your Wifi Signal Bar will look like:

More Apps to Share for iPhone!



FACEBOOK (Free Download at iTunes)

No more Browsing at Safari! Here is a Facebook (direct Log In) App for iPhone that is pretty nifty!







EYELOVE (Free Download at iTunes)

A FUN App to play with! See if you and your Hunny are compatible!







DoodleIt (Free download at iTunes)

Load your Images from Photo and Draw!




POWERTOOL (Free download at Cydia)

One touch tool for Soft Respring, Hard Resrping and Reboot. Best for peep's who do SSH.

When it come to SSHing the iPhone’s Text Tone, I haven’t not yet discover adding Text Tone, but I just replace the Original Text Tone file with my preferred Text Tone Sound file.

NOTE: All throughout my SSHing with iPhone, I always use DiskAid. For Reasons, please read my “ Changing Slider Bar of iPhone”.

First Step: Prepare file/files that you want to use as your Personal Text Tone.

Text Tone File Conversion: .AAC = .caf

You can convert the files by using iTunes:





iTunes> Preference> General> Importing Settings.


Then copy the .AAC file to a folder or at the Desktop, whichever you prefer. From the folder, change the file format “.aac” to “.caf”. You can simply do this by replacing the Extension Filename of “.aac” to “.caf”, just by typing. See Image below:



Now, your ready to SSH Text Tones!

Using DiskAid, connect iPhone and open to “Root Folder”.

Follow the Highlight structure of the Pictures below.




System> Library> Audio> UISounds> sms-received1.caf
(up to sms-received6.caf)

NOTE: Back Up a Copy of the Original Text Tone File/Files to you MAC.

From the Folder/ Desktop (of your Converted Text Tone file/files), replace the Filename of the Personal Text Tone to one of the iPhone’s Original Text Tone Filenames.

Example: Change iPhone’s Original Text Tone “Bell” which has the Filename Structure of “sms-received5.caf”, Rename the Personal Text Tone filename to the Original File name Structure.

Copy or Drag the Personal Text Tone File to the location of the Sound File.




Click “Replace” when a Window Pop-Up.

And your DONE!

Check your iPhone's New Text Sound.

NOTE: If the selected Text Tone is not making any sound, check your converted file again. This might mean that your file name has the wrong “filename structure” or wrong “Filename Extension” or “Reboot Device”.

Here are some handy apps for iPhone version 2.0.

My personal front runner Apps.



WeDict

The app itself can be downloaded at iTunes. Don’t worry, its for FREE!
WeDict already contained WordNet 2.0 and English_Chinese Dictionary and a Thesaurus Dictionary can be added by Installing “English Thesaurus” at Cydia’s.




PowerTool 2.0
For one click Hard Respring, Soft Respring, Reboot (Restart Device), and Power Down/ Turning off iPhone. A useful apps for peep’s who SSH a lot.



AirSharing
What I love about this app. is that it can Store and Read .jpg, .xlsx, .pages, .cc , .rtfd, and .webarchive. It is also a nice storage for other immediate files. Can be downloaded at iTunes.






One Connect
The cuter version of IM+ for Yahoo Instant Messenger! Can be downloaded at iTunes.





Searcher
Hence the label. Unlike Quicksilver App (from Cydia) that can only search for contact names. Searcher on the other hand, looks thru Contacts, Notes, SMS, Events, Safari Bookmarks, and Safari History.



And finally, the latest one…

Stack
It works like “fan” at Leopard OS for Mac. The “Fan” can place as much as 5 apps, while the “grid” can hold more apps (I think a maximum of 8). You can have all the Apps at the Dock removed or place two of your favorite. It useful and very cute!
