Bad luck doesn't strike me twice POSTED AT 04:32 PM Okay…on to the topic It has been such an effort posting an entry on this blog when in fact it shouldn’t be in the first place and it is not at all an effort for me to do such, well that was before. I’m a little bit conscious no, paranoid actually whenever I’ll use the computer and surf the net for good. My parents are rearing their ugly heads for the umpteenth time for giving certain restriction whenever I pursue to gain access onto something like the Internet. They are not straightforward with what they are trying to imply on me but subconsciously they’re giving me a hard time grasping my freedom. It is vacation after all. Can I do what I want now? So restricted, I can’t freely move, do what I will. Can’t they just give me time to do what I want for at least a week? This summer vacation might be my last. They are not strict, I can say that not even stage parents or something like that, but with their presence around the house and the fact I’m with them everyday now school’s out, something’s holding me back with the things I wanna do, even without speaking just their presence. It’s as if they’re telling me that I shouldn’t be doing that stuffs because I am obligated to do other things like chores. Doing what I want is always trivial for them. Telling them that whatever I do is important does not completely convince them. When will my activities become important to them? And do they expect me to do chores all day? Not quite, a little maybe but not all day like my mom and our maid does. I think it’s their life or let’s say their hobby. They are so into it, so passionate. Do I now feel the power of my parents’ authority on me? It pains me to tell this but yes, but not for long. I’m dead tired of their verbal abuse, dictations here and there. So fucked up. Keep blabbing petty things and stuff. Just stuff, whatever stuff. Know what I mean? Bad luck For those people especially my friends who are asking every now and then what school I’ll be in for college. I can’t help but to be annoyed with the question. I don’t have yet, so bad, so annoyed. Don’t ask me. Sometimes due to the repetition of inquiry I just answer with I’m not studying anymore kind of answer, in submission of rage and frustration. I’m going to settle this. I know I can. I’m just pressured maybe and my parents are just making it worse all the more with their fucking sermons! I only applied in two schools (with exception of UP) and I'm a wait listed on both. Bad luck In relation with the title…well… All I wanted was to have these two things, two things that matters most to me at present, above anything else. I wished so much for both but I already lost one of that wishes. I didn’t’ have it, I can’t see the point of losing it. I accepted it in the hardest ways though but I realize then and there that I could not afford to lose the other one. But it seems all now that I will lose both. I can’t handle it when it happens. This I imply that: Bad luck doesn’t have to strike me twice. Once is enough and every loss should have its gain but every loss I experienced weren’t compensated with, only new losses to begin with. Listening to: It ends tonight... Feeling: bad |

The phone I want POSTED AT 06:39 PM ‘The phone I (only) want’ Japanese mobile phone manufacturer Panasonic has just begun shipping their new FOMA P900iV mobile phone for NTT DoCoMo. The handset has a clamshell form factor with a fold-and-twist flip design. A CCD camera with a resolution of 1.95 Megapixels is located on the side of the device. A 262,144 color QVGA (320x240 pixels) TFT LCD is used as the main display. The external sub-display is 96x64 pixels in size and displays 4,096 colors. The P900iV is available from NTT DoCoMo in Japan and comes in three colors: black, silver, and orange.    HOWEVER, most FOMA phones are not guaranteed to work with foreign W-CDMA networks. Even if P900iV does work in a foreign country, nobody has succeeded in unlocking it so you have to use it with a DoCoMo contract and expensive int'l roaming fee. Phones here are so customized that it won't unlock. Docomo does this on purpose, so it won't work. All FOMA phones are locked to NTT. Only NTT can issue unlocking code, and I don't know how readily they do that. Also all new FOMA phones are only sold with contract, so impossible to get without residence in Japan. Used phones sometimes find their way on to the market, usually online but also in some shops. Most are still locked to NTT. If you can get a recent unlocked FOMA phone, there's no reason why it shouldn't work abroad with any sim card on compatible 3G services. So what does that mean? I can never have the phone unless I WAS living in Japan because I recently knew that Japan stop selling the phone almost two years ago. I always refuse to have a new phone instead of this even if I knew I could never have it or at least have a phone similar to this. And why am I head over heels on such an outdated phone you ask? Because it was the phone that was featured in Advent Children, it’s Cloud’s phone. I admit, I’m a FF fan. It is a must have for every FF fan…or so I think. . And even if it isn’t Cloud’s phone I’ll still like it for its cool features, cool enough for the Philippines but too old-fashioned for Japan. I visited a forum once; it has hundreds of tags in it only talking about the availability of the phone instead of Japan. Some are complaining—and I’m one of them, some are annoyingly prying, some are bragging that they have the phone and some are even auctioning within the forum. It was an open forum turned into a war. I’ve stated that I accept the fact that I couldn’t have the phone for I knew NTT Docomo does not exist here in the Philippines just screw Japan for being unfair! It took me the hardest time to digging out information about the phone because it seems to me that those Japanese generated sites doesn’t even want to share infos about the phone. It’s as if I was searching an extraterrestrial phone unit. I just hope Panasonic will manufacture the same model that that is compatible to the service provider of other countries and export it for good. These Japanese manufacturers are tactless. They could make extra profit by doing so because the phone is in high demand. I think America, Canada and United Kingdom demanded for it, according to japan-guide.com. And another thing...  Square Enix high profile movie FFVII: Advent children maybe grabbing all the attention, but the creative folks from Japan have another, less obvious FFVII spin-off in the works as well. Known as Before Crisis , this prequel is set six years before the Mako reactor incident at Shinra and allows players to assume roles of various Turks in their adventure all over Midgard. Up to three playes can even play at once for cool team-based attacks. So why haven’t you heard much about this until now? Simple: It’s only available for Docomo cell phones and has NO plans to reach shores outside Japan. Super damot! Feeling: pissed |
