There goes my Nokia 5800
Image grabbed from Daily Mobile I never knew that the day will come when my bum tool will just shutdown on me without warning. Yes, what I’ve known to be a worthy purchase despite being the cheapest entry level smartphone in the market is now lifeless. It happened last night while I was about [...]
My day with more stupid drivers
Several cancellations later, due to the crazy weather for weeks already, I decided to push through with my trip back to MSEUF in Lucena to do a couple of things – process my transcript transmittal to Ateneo and finally, after three long years, claim my yearbook. I went on, leaving my car at home [...]
Digital manhole
What happened to me yesterday was like walking on the flooded Manila streets and disappearing all of a sudden after stepping on what is supposed to be a covered manhole. It came without a warning. All the files (musics, videos & podcasts) that I’ve been downloading to my Nokia 5800 for days got sucked into [...]
Nokia 5800 firmware update done
I’ve just finished updating my Nokia 5800′s firmware from V11.0.008 to 21.0.025. It took me approximately 3 hours using the following setup: a Lenovo S10 and a DSL connection speed of just around 125 kbps.

GMA’s SONA stopped almost everything: work and classes – including mine. This shot was [...]
The Missing Horse
07/23/2009 Originally uploaded by akonnamgapictures This is one of the shots I took during our first calesa ride from Carriedo to SM Manila – unlucky horse, huh?. I’m calling this the missing horse because for unknown reasons it just won’t appear in my PC even after all of its batch have been uploaded. The only [...]
The Nokia 5800: a perfect bum tool
This lovely piece of cellphone, coming from the Finnish company, has been with me for more than a week already after I succumbed to my wife’s persistent request to have my almost 3-year old Motorola L6 replaced. Besides, the old cellphone is becoming to be a cause of a failure-to-communicate symptom since its speaker conked [...]
Touchy Feely
It’s early morning. First day of another week at work. The airconditioner’s monotonous hum making the wait for another meeting with the boss as uneasy as it can be. Good thing there’s a mug, on top of my own leather-cladded office table, filled almost to the brim with the freshly brewed coffee from the [...]
