It pays to be good to your neighbor. I remember the first time I went blogging, it was during my dial-up days. Speed was kinda slow but somehow manageable. Since all I got to do online is to check my emails, a little chat, and of course updating my blog. How I wish I could have a DSL connection.

Then one day a neighbor of mine asked me if I could look at her pc that doesn’t boot. I wasted no time and checked her cpu. In minutes her pc is already up and running after I’ve removed a stubborn boot virus. In return she offered me a free DSL connection, to which she didn’t have to ask twice because I gladly accepted her offer. Since I already have an existing utp cable. I’ll just needed some RJ45 and Cat5e Keystone jack that will act as a coupler from my neighbor’s cable to mine.

I have enjoyed having my free DSL for about a year before I finally have my own. So what are you waiting for? Start making good gestures to your neighbors and get a free connection too. haha!

The much-awaited iPhone by Apple will finally be in the hands of the elite Pinoys. Why only the elite you might ask? Well its because starting August 22 Globe will (exclusively) start to sell it here in the Philippines to a whopping price of P41,899 for the Prepaid 8gb model and P48,899 for their 16gb model. Contrary to what Steve Jobs (CEO of Apple) announced on the iPhone 3G debut that “the price is a maximum of $199 all around the world” With the current exchange rate of $1 - P44 Duh! that would be P8,756 only! See the big difference!

But of course Steve was just referring to the price of the unit. A lot of us forget that a subscription plan is tied-up with the unit. so let’s say I’m in the US and grabbed one 8gb iPhone for $199. I got this computation.

$50/month x24 = $1200+Unit Price $199 = $1399 x P44 = P61556 - AT&T
P1599/month x24 = P38376 + Cashout  of  P16800 = P55176 - Globe Ph
P6380 more cheaper in our country? Hmmm… maybe… But…I don’t think so!

Because if I choose to buy it straight (Prepaid) at a price of P41,899, (iPhone 8GB which includes P200 free load for 5 months and 50 hours of free internet) I would say its still way too high for a mobile phone unit. “sana kung yung 3G means 3 Gives hahaha!” I would rather buy myself a decent laptop and find a way to insert my simcard there, or else instead of an iPhone I’ll make iPon muna my money,lol! By the way, Is it true that the progesterone in our brain can be affected by using mobile phones for a long period of time? Anyway, that’s another story.

Motorhack -  A motorcycle rider and a forum member of motorcyclephilippines.com, who Just like what his alias means - literally hacks his motor! You wouldn’t believe it but this pinoy rider who owns a Yamaha DT claims that he’s been using 70% HHO 30% gas to powered his motorbike for two months now. And much more amazing is that almost 99 percent of the materials he utilized to build this device can  be found at anybody’s home (ika nga eh homemade talaga!), particularly inside the kitchen. Its so funny that during his first attempt he even uses a catsup squeeze bottle. And eventually it works! Iba talaga ang Pinoy! Madiskarte! Bilib ako syo bro!

ezinearticles.com describes HHO as:

HHO is Hydrogen + Hydrogen + Oxygen. How does the HHO system work? When the HHO systems splits water (H2O) into its components the H2O to HHO conversion takes place. HHO is also known as Green Gas, Hydroxy, Di-Hydroxy, and Water gas. The electrolysis of water produces a burnable Green Gas. HHO is a green gas that is the wave of the future. HHO auto conversion creates a hybrid car, which are now water powered cars using the technology of HHO.

In this time of fuel crisis. Any fuel saving devices or tips that can help alleviate people lives are very much welcome by motorist worldwide. Let’s just hope that our government would support this kind of initiative.
