The PLDT TelPad S7-Slim Review

jehzlau — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 18:58:46 +0000

2 years ago, the country’s biggest telecommunications provider announced the launching of its hybrid landline unit called Telpad. I admit I was not that impressed. I obviously did not jump into the bandwagon for a number of reasons. But recently, a close encounter with a live Telpad made me reconsider my stand, which, by the way, explains why I am writing this review. I am writing this entry because, as most tech geek does, I want to do my own “unveiling” of the PLDT Telpad. (Never mind that it is a year late. As they always say “it’s better late than never”.)

Before I go down to the good stuff, allow me to explain why I initially gave my “pass” card on the Telpad. First, it seems impractical and pretentious. Well, everyone knows that I love gadgets. I love them sleek and sophisticated but I also love them simple and functional. The Telpad performs, well, just like any other landline unit. The clincher here is that it comes with a tablet, which brings me to my “impractical” argument: I already own a tablet.

So, aside from a phone and a tablet bundled together, there is nothing really groundbreaking after all… the technology itself is not so innovative. Second, there seems to be a lot of negativity around the promotional packaging of the Telpad. There are people who think that there might be a misrepresentation of figures on the fees. But of course, there is always another side of the story. And the last reason why I did not join the Telpad community was because I just don’t need it and I already have a landline unit.

So why the sudden 360 degrees turn—you might ask—? Let’s just say, certain situations require certain needs. A few weeks ago, I was lucky to be chosen to try out the PLDT Telpad S7-Slim with free 3-month subscription. I got so excited. I placed it in my living room immediately and used it as my main landline unit.

While playing around with it, I reminisced the time when I first used a telephone. I have to turn the rotary dialer around and wait until the circle swung back to the starting position to dial next number. Time really runs fast. A few years back, I can only see thesekind of devices in futuristic movies that I was able to watch in Betamax and VHS. Now, it’s a real thing and I’m actually holding it.

What’s great about the Telpad is the ease of using a landline phone. Anything that you can do with your smartphones can be done with your landline. You can easily view your call logs, save your contacts, writes notes while taking calls, and do everything in the landline without moving around. You don’t need to get a pen if somebody asked you if you have a pen to jot down what the caller is saying. You can easily browse Google maps if somebody asked you how to get here or there. You can do a lot of things, because you’re landline is not just a landline. It’s a smartlandline (just like smartphones, hehe).

You can’t use the Android tablet for calls if you remove it from the Telpad dock. Anyway, you can use the built-in loud speakers of the landline unit if you want to walk around and talk out loud. This is really not a major drawback, just a slight disappointment for users who are fond of using wireless landline units. You can just do everything, except bringing the phone a few meters away from the dock. But hey, you can bring the tablet far away from the dock and use it as your very own Android tablet outside home.

Overall Experience:
The price of convenience is not that expensive after all. I can say that owning a PLDT Telpad is really worth it and you’ll surely not bother to look for another landline unit again. I’m satisfied and really happy to have tried this awesome Telpad. And if you want to upgrade to a better landline unit, I highly recommend the PLDTTelpad S7 Slim or the Wave 2.3, whichever you like.

Some facts about the PLDT Telpad:
The Telpad comes as a device that has aphone and a built-in tablet dock where the tablet can be mounted (the tablet of course is detachable). The Telpad, derive partly from telephone, sports a multifunctional phone (duh!? But hey, most reviews forget this part). It has a nationwide coverage and provides unlimited local calls. It also has a direct dialing access for NDD & IDD. The phone also boasts the following ability: Contact list, Call history, Call hold/ pause, Speaker phone, Speed dialing through favorites tab,Caller ID, Call waiting, Call forwarding, 3-way conference (last four is via subscription).

More good stuff:
The PLDT Telpad tablet also comes in two variants: The PLDT Telpad S7 Slim, which runs on an Android 2.2 Froyo platform, and the PLDT TelpadWave 2.3 (AD-1000A), which is powered Android 2.3 Gingerbread.

The PLDT Telpad S7 Slim sports a 0.3MP front and 3.2 MP rear camera. It can last for about 180 hours of standby time and boasts a 3-axis Accelerometer, gravity, and ambient light sensors. It measures about 7.87x 4.3x 0.49 inches and has an 8 GB built-in memory.

Its brother the TelpadWave 2.3, on the other hand, carries a singular front facing camera but is loaded with its 2MP SVGA 800×600 pixel. It is also bulkier than the S7 Slim with its 8.24x 5x 0.58 inches measurement. It is also tender with its battery—last for about 70 hours of standby time—and 2GB built in memory. It has a 3-Axis Accelerometer for UI auto-rotate.

Now, I don’t want to elaborate on its web browsing and multimedia functions anymore since I think tablet knowledge is no longer a thing of the past, even 3-year-old kids own a tablet nowadays. What I want to share is something exclusive to PLDT Telpad subscribers. If you own a PLDT Telpad, you get exclusive access to PLDT HOME—a virtual hub where you can get updates and offers from partner establishments—and askPLDT—a one-touch guide to the latest news and information.

FYI:
PLDT is rewarding Telpad subscribers with another good stuff. They are offering the Telpad + WiFi Zone package. The WiFiZone is a new service that provides faster internet connection via dedicated WiFi line in select establishments throughout the Philippines. Telpad subscribers can enjoy faster internet connection outside home all day for just an additional 150 per month. That is, if you’re within a PLDT WiFi hotspot.

An existing PLDT plan subscriber may avail the Telpad for an additional fee (depends on your current plan).

And oh, PLDT is offering a promo for their TelPad. Get a free myPhone or a Samsung phone upon subscription to a Telpad plan. This is a must-try and I assure you that you’ll never regret in owning a PLDT Telpad.

Common WP problems after server migration and how to fix them

jehzlau — Fri, 16 Mar 2012 14:28:20 +0000

I really want to write about this before, but I dont’ seem to have that “eagerness” to write about what I’m going to write about now. Since the first time I migrated my blog to another server 6 years ago, I encountered a lot of technical problems. I even forgot most of it. Soooo… what I’m going to do now is to write about the common problems and solutions that I encountered each and every time I migrate to a different server, so that it will help others who will encounter such.

These problems are commonly encountered when migrating WordPress and other dynamic database-driven websites. But I’ll only be sharing about the common problems in migrating WordPress sites, because I haven’t encountered any problems when migrating a static HTML page and I haven’t tried migrating other CMS aside from WordPress.

500 Internal Server Error – the most common problem that I encountered when transferring a WP blog from one server to another server is this error. The easiest way to fix it is to empty your .htaccess file, then proceed directly to your wp-admin. Go to Settings > Permalinks > tick Default > Save Changes. After saving the changes, you can revert to your custom permalink structure again. If you can’t access wp-admin after you emptied your .htaccess file, just copy and paste the mod rewrite rules below and that should fix the problem.
RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
If that didn’t help, please leave a comment in this post so that I can help you trace the problem and fix it. Haha!

The Blank White Page – commonly known as the white screen of death, inspired by the good old Windows blue screen of death. Yay! I’m really not sure what’s the root cause of this error. Common reasons why you encounter an empty white page is the file permissions. For instance, you’re from a server that uses a mod_php (dso) handler, then you transferred to a server that uses suPHP, you’ll surely encounter permission errors. You need to CHMOD your files to 644 and folders to 755. After you changed the permissions, this will surely fix your problem. If you’re not familiar about php handlers, here’s a very helpful post to get you started.

If changing of file and folder permissions didn’t help you fix your blank white page problem, maybe your source code is empty, that’s why it’s showing a blank white page. This happens when you transfer a file via FTP and the transfer times out. The file transfer didn’t complete, that’s why your source code is empty. Or… you have WP-Cache installed and it went nuts. Just delete all your cached files and see if that fixes the problem.

Another reason of an empty white page is your wp-config. If there’s an empty line after the end of the code, then that’s the culprit. You can read a detailed post about it here. You should remove all empty lines in your wp-config.php and that should fix the blank white page dilemma.

Is its parent directory writable by the server error – this is a pretty familiar error if you transfer from a server that doesn’t use cPanel to a server with cPanel. This is common if you migrate from Dreamhost to any other webhost and vice versa. You’ll just notice this error after uploading an image to your post. Once you selected an image to upload, this error will occur:

"Unable to create directory /home/yourusername/wp-content/uploads/year/month. Is its parent directory writable by the server?"

This error is pretty easy to fix. The first thing that you should do is go to Settings > Media and replace the current directory in “Store uploads in this folder” input field to wp-content/uploads. That should quickly fix your problem. If it didn’t help, you need to change your file permission to 777 (which is not recommend as your folder will be very vulnerable to hackers) if you’re using mod_php and 755 if you’re using suPHP. I’m pretty sure you’ll never modify the permissions if you encounter this problem as the first solution above will definitely work.

Call to undefined function: wp_cache_init – this error happen sometimes when you have a caching plugin installed in your WordPress. After you transfer your WP blog to another server, there’s a slight chance that you’ll encounter a cache error. If you did, just delete your quickcache, wp-supercache or w3totalcache plugin folders (including the PHP cache files inside wp-content that is part of the plugin). After deleting those, this error will most likely be fixed.

If that solution didn’t help, your last resort is to do a fresh WP install in a separate folder then copy your wp-content and wp-config.php to the folder where you uploaded your latest WordPress files. That will surely fix the problem.

Redirected to yourdomain/wp-admin/install.php after transfer – this error is also common when you recently transferred to a brand new server. It’s not really an error, you just forgot to import your database. But if you already imported your MySQL database to the new server, then something must be really wrong. I recently encountered this a while ago while transferring from my old dedicated server to a new dedicated server. I was shocked that the contents of my database was gone and I was redirected to the WordPress install page.

I then checked my database inside phpmyadmin and it was there. The tables are also there, but it’s all empty. I asked my host to re-dump my MySQL database from the old server and import it again to the new server. But that didn’t help.

After a few minutes of being shocked and panicked, the database was successfully recovered. The problem is with the permission of the .FRM files. These are the files where MySQL stores its data. After the permissions were fixed, the problem was solved.

I think that’s all for now. I’ll be adding more WordPress problems after server transfer if I encounter a new one in my future migration adventures! Haha!

Error: Incorrect information in file: *.FRM – this is a rare problem and only occurs if you have a failing or dying hard drive. Right after you migrated your WordPress blog and you tried logging in to wp-admin, you’ll be redirect to this page: yourdomain/wp-admin/maint/repair.php?referrer=is_blog_installed. Your database or some tables in your MySQL database is corrupted and you need to repair it. In rare instances, it cannot be repaired. But most of the time, it’s repairable.

If you’re one of the few unlucky WordPress blog owners who encountered the “rare instances” that I’m talking about, don’t lose hope. I encountered this problem many times before. Here’s an example of the error in wp_users (or any other table inside a WP database) that you might have encountered as well after attempting to repair your database:

The wp_users table is not okay. It is reporting the following error: Incorrect information in file: './your/database/directory/wp_users.frm'. WordPress will attempt to repair this table… Failed to repair the wp_users table. Error: Incorrect information in file: './your/database/directory/wp_users.frm'

If you encountered the same exact problem as I did, then all you need to do is copy the .FRM, .MYD, and .MYI files inside your /var/lib/mysql directory from your server. You need root access to access it. Install XAMPP or AppServ in your computer and copy the data to your database directory, then open it locally via phpmyadmin. There’s a great chance that you can still recover your data and create a dumpfile.

If you still can’t recover it, then I don’t know what else to do. If you do know, please share it below. Yay!

Sun Broadband Wireless Internet: Is it worth it?

jehzlau — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 18:53:33 +0000

The all time favorite “FUN IN THE SUN” summer slogan is ubiquitous once again as the spirit of summer reaches its peak. From the giant billboards along EDSA to the blasting advertisement in the boob tube, you get the same message: Indulge yourself, have fun in the sun.

Now, whoever came up with this expression definitely deserves a lifetime award as the statement not only conveys a truth but also forecasts the future of everything that is FUN — all things found under the SUN – SUN BROADBAND WIRELESS that is.

The SUN BROADBAND WIRELESS is SUN CELLULAR’s impressive mobile “high speed” internet access service. Utilizing the 3G/EDGE/GPRS/HSPA technology, the SUN BROADBAND WIRELESS promises to deliver whatever the mind can imagine. Unlike its sedentary-inducing predecessor DSL, Sun’s BROADBAND WIRELESS offers fast and reliable internet access almost anywhere and anytime, without compromising the quality and performance of the internet connection. Why it’s just “almost” anywhere? Because it’s not really “anywhere” as I’ve tried and tested it and there are some areas in the Metro that I can’t use the SUN broadband wireless USB dongle as their data signal coverage is limited. The speed fluctuates from 0.5MBPS to 3.6MBPS, depending on your current location.

At home, I can reach a peak speed of 3.6MBPS if I’m downloading a lot of files via FTP. Downloading 5 to 10MB MP3s will take less than a minute. It’s fast enough and it’s a good alternative if you’re outside home and you don’t have a wired internet connection, nor within the vicinity of a WiFi hotspot.

With its widespread coverage and consistently fast and reliable internet connection, SUN BROADBAND WIRELESS allows you to find and create your own fun wherever and whenever. Hoping of goofing around with your barkadas up to the wee hours of the morning? Or bond with your love ones who live on the other side of the globe? SUN BROADBAND WIRELESS can make it possible. Yearning to meet old and new friends from home? SUN BROADBAND WIRELESS can make it happen. Dreaming of meeting your future love while in your PJs? Or longing to send out a simple message to your crush? SUN BROADBAND WIRELESS is all you need.

If your idea of fun is all about discovering new things in life, SUN BROADBAND WIRELESS is your best bet. Want to learn the recipe for that toe curling chocolate cake? Check it out with SUN BROADBAND WIRELESS. Want to know where the latest gigs and gimik hotspots are? Bring out your laptops and plug in you SUN BROADBAND WIRELESS. Want to get advices on travels and electronic gadgets? S-U-N is all you need to remember.

SUN BROADBAND WIRELESS is the gateway to a world of limitless FUN. It is a world of different possibilities, a world where you create your reality by surfing and browsing, a world that is larger than life.

Imagine going somewhere without knowing how? It can be frustrating right? Now imagine journeying into the adventure of your dream but suddenly losing all sense of direction with the scorching heat above you and the tiresom afternoon knocking your empty stomach? That is exasperating right? Well, that almost happened to me if not for my SUN BROADBAND WIRELESS.

During a road trip last month, my friends and I almost gave up on our road trip to a rustic town because we were tired and fed up after an hour long of “searching” and asking for directions. Good thing, my buddy suggested we try to check with the internet using my portable laptop and SUN BROADBAND WIRELESS. Naturally, I thought it was futile at first—doubting network coverage. To our surpirse, the SUN BROADBAND WIRELESS was alive and almighty at that frantic moment. It showed its own worth during that time when it really mattered. Im super glad that it did not let me down when I needed it the most.

The Sun Broadband Wireless offers advance and affordable mobile broadband solution to users. It offers easy access, stability in connection, and widespread availability, especially in areas where conventional services are not available, so you can get connected to the internet anytime and anywhere.

With the new SUN BROADBAND WIRELESS plan 350 lite, FUN is taken to a whole new level. At P350/month, users can enjoy 45hrs of FUN every month. Plan 350 Lite comes with a reliable and fast internet speed of up to 2Mbps at a very affordable rate. But wait, the FUN doesn’t stop here. SUN BROADBAND WIRELESS also comes in a 799 plan which features an unlimited broadband subscription with speeds of up to 2Mbps. This plan is complete with a plug & play modem and a Sun Broadband Wireless SIM thereby allowing you to get connected right away.

What if you don’t want to go through the hassle of filling up documents and dealing with the holding period crap? Well, SUN BROADBAND WIRELESS PREPAID is here to anwers your prayers. This new mobile broadband solution is said to be the next generation broadband service from Sun Cellular. Like the postpaid program, it comes with a convenient plug-and-play device, making it compact and easy to use allowing users to have the mobility to enjoy internet access with speed of up to 3.6Mbps. And of course, for those who doesn’t want to end their FUN, SUN BROADBAND PREPAID just got unlimited with its SBW50 1-DAY UNLIMITED. For as low as P50, you can bask under the SUN the whole day.

So is Sun Broadband Wireless Internet worth it? Yes, as long as you’re in the right place at the right time. Yay!

Huawei Mediapad Review: The Cheap but powerful Android tablet

jehzlau — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 01:53:44 +0000

As we all know, the year of the Water Dragon is finally here! It is only natural for people to adorn themselves with something that has to do with this ferociously fanged mythical creature. According to Chinese geomancers, more commonly known as Feng Shui masters, possessing a feng shui dragon is considered auspicious and powerful this year.

While I personally don’t subscribe to superstitious thinking, I thought why not? It won’t hurt trying anyway. Hence, I am giving myself and you dear readers a symbolic dragon gift: a review on this tablet run by a “lucky” Snapdragon processor. It is not just a tablet by the way, it is The World’s first 7-inch Android 3.2 Honeycomb tablet, also known as HUAWEI MEDIAPAD.

For those who are unfamiliar with the brand, HuaWei, officially Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd is a Chinese multinational networking and telecommunications equipment manufacturer. Founded by Ren Zhengfei in 1987, it is the largest networking and telecommunications equipment supplier in China and the second-largest mobile telecommunications infrastructure equipment supplier in the world. It currently caters to 45 of the world’s 50 largest telecom operators. Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd is headquartedred in Shenzhen, Guangdong, China but has 20 R&D institutes around the world. The company is said to have over 110,00 employees with almost half dedicated to R&D work.

Check out this photo from Rochelle’s Huawei Mediapad review to view the MicroSD and SIM slots. You can also check out another great review about the Mediapad and know more about how it handles in real life by Calvin Lo.

I first heard of the Huawei MediaPad when Engadget raved about this dashingly handsome device, calling it “downright luscious”. I was naturally curious to learn more about this China made product, after all it is not every day that you hear a respected tech savvy geek throwing girlish praises.

After a quick search on the internet, I discovered that this gizmo has more accolades hiding under its skin. According to reports and reviews, The Huawei MediaPad is not only the first tablet to date running Android 3.2 software, it is also graphically superior with its pixel density of 217 ppi, surpasing Motorola Xoom’s (erstwhile highest tablet pixel holder) 160 ppi and Ipad’s 132 ppi. Its screen resolution is 1280×800 (HD 720p capable).

While the specs may not be highly sophisticated and complex, it is still state-of-the-art quality and decent enough to boast around. Powered by a 1.2 GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, the tablet is built for some serious browsing experience with is 7”IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen display and WiFi 802.11 b/g/n, 3G, HSPA+ 14.4 Mbps internet connectivity.

And for those shutterbugs who just love to share their moments with others, the MediaPad has two built-in cameras, a 1.3 megapixel front facing camera and a 5 megapixel autofocus rear-facing camera that has HD video recording capabilities (720p). The quality of pictures taken using the front and rear cameras are not the impressive, but it’s good enough if you don’t have a digital camera or a DSLR with you. The default resolution is 2592×1944 for the rear camera and 1280×720 for the front camera, which is really awesome because it’s BIG!

Now, if you are skeptical and comparing each detail with the pedestally-placed iPad or the equallyrevered Samsung Galaxy, then consider this fact: it is the cheapest android tablet on the market. As Huawei’s Chief Marketing Officer Victor Xu succintly puts it “With the Huawei MediaPad, we are demonstrating yet again that design, functinality, and performance is within anyone’s reach.” The Huawei MediaPad is respectable with its features relative to its price. “The MediaPad opens up new worlds of entertainment for consumers by removing the barriers to tablet ownership, increasing access to a truly high-quality mobile entertainment experience fully integrated with cloud-based internet content,” said Xu in its press release.

Just the right size

You can easily grasp it

Power, USB and HDMI slot

Earphone and Speakers

Volume Control and Power Button

While the iPad’s feature is touted to be up there, so is its price. This is definitely a hurdle to the wider market. HuaWei is definitely taking the noble road by cutting down the price of its tablet without compromising the overall performance of the gadget.

Huawei Mediapad and iPad 2 side by side

Huawei Medipad and iPad 2 compared

It's slightly thick compared to iPad 2

Weighing just 0.86 pounds, the Huawei MediaPad can store chunkie data with its 8GB internal storage and can be expanded up to 32GB via micro SD card. And if looks can be anymore deceiving, this slim and light tablet is also strong in terms of endurance.

Huawei Mediapad is fairly light and easy to hold

Its thickness is not that thin and not that thick, just perfect!

With its 4100mAh battery, the fun can last up to 6 to 7 hours. And as if HuaWei can’t be anymore generous, the MediaPad comes with pre-installed Apps like Facebook, Twitter, Let’s Golf, Document to go, and many more.

Huawei Mediapad does not support embedded capture and I have no plans in rooting it. Anyway, I can still take screen shots of my Android UI using Huawei Hi Suite desktop software that comes with the device. You can easily install the software by plugging in the Mediapad to your Windows desktop (I have tried this in my Mac, but I think there’s also a Huawei Hi Suite for Mac). After plugging it via USB, Hi Suite installation will prompt and you can install it in a breeze.

Huawei Hi Suite

After installing Hi Suite and connecting your device, Huawei Office will also be installed automatically in your device.

The Huawei Office

Another thing that is quite disappointing with the Huawei Mediapad is that it has an HDMI slot, but it doesn’t come with a free HDMI cable. Hehe. But that doesn’t really matter for a lot of people I guess.

CONCLUSION:
This review has made me realize that HuaWei’s Snapdragon MediaPad is indeed auspicious and powerful to those who own it because you get three of the most important factors of a tablet: design, functionality, and performance in a very reasonable price (SRP is 21,990 pesos).

For the latest updates on Huawei Mediapad and other Huawei products, you can follow Huawei PH on Facebook and Twitter.

It’s a great time once again!

jehzlau — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 12:08:00 +0000

For a tropical country like the Philippines, it’s just amazing to find a towering and blinking pine tree adorned with colorful balls and danglings in almost every home. “It’s more fun in the Philippines!” as they say. Christmas season in the country is the longest and the most festive among the various celebrations in the entire year. It is the season wherein everyone seemed to be very nice and in their best mood. It’s like no one is allowed to be rude during this time that even your worst enemy can become your best friend.

It’s a great time to have major family reunions with lots of gift giving. It is a trademark during the event and Christmas parties can happen almost everyday depending on how many social groups you have. It is the time of the year that you will be spending the most and you’re okay with it ‘for the spirit of Christmas’.

It’s a great time to celebrate as Microsoft Philippines will be joining the techy Filipinos as they celebrate the Christmas season with their fabulous Windows Holiday Campaign. It is their aim to bring each of the Filipino family members closer to each other by means of providing available solution and technology.

It’s a great time to have a Windows 7 PC which allows every dad to be the best at work with the remarkable Microsoft Office 2010 within reach while spending quality Christmas time at home. It also makes the working moms to be the most caring and most organized especially in this very busy season. For the socially active kids, having a mutlimedia Windows 7 PC could eventually make their learning fun and exciting. For everyone else, a Microsoft Windows Phone powered mobile device will make the communication intact and allows everyone to be within reach all the time. Filipinos have become techy savvy indivuals and have been active on social media as they embraced the advancement of technology. They were able to utilize the beauty of technology to keep their family bonds tighter and stronger and in the past few years, Microsoft has been part of the family and has made almost everything possible.

The Extremely Late Year-End Post

jehzlau — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 18:12:19 +0000

2011 is not a great year for me, it’s the saddest year of my life. It’s already the 5th day of January 2012, and here I am, writing my year-end post. I think I just made new world record for writing the latest of all the late year-end posts in the world. I really don’t wanna write a year-end post, but my blogging blood obliged me to.

Here are the significant events that happened to me and my blog in the year that was.

1. Made 20 blog posts, breaking my 2010 record of only 13 posts.
2. Played Philippine Ragnarok Online again and became addicted to it, again.
3. Met a lot of online friends that became my real life friends as well.
4. Won as the best Personal Blog in the 2011 Digital Filipino Search Profile Index Web Awards (To be awarded this February 2012, yay!).
5. Nominated, but never made it as finalist in the 2011 Nuffnang Asia-Pacific Blog Awards.
6. My blog went up to PR6, but went back to PR5 a month after.
7. Made more than a million, but spent more than twice I made, trying to save my father’s life.
8. Maxed out my credit limit in all my credit cards.
9. Reached the brink of bankruptcy.
10. Lost a father and a very close friend.

Here’s a recap of the blog posts I made for the year 2011:

Is Sun Cellular’s BlackBerry internet service plan 999 worth the buck?

jehzlau — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 20:54:34 +0000

I’ve been an avid BlackBerry user for more than 2 years now and I can say that I’m really impressed with all its features and everything that it can do. All smartphones nowadays can let you surf the internet all you want. Other phones even have awesome apps that Blackberry phones do not have. So why I still can’t live without a Blackberry? It’s because of its fantastic Internet Service and Push Technology.

When you avail of a BIS (BlackBerry Internet Service) from any mobile network that provides it and you’re an e-mail freak who loves sending and receiving messages in real time, you’ll be addicted to Blackberry and I’m pretty sure that you cannot live without it just like me!

I have tried various prepaid BIS from different mobile networks before and I’m quite satisfied with their services. Just recently, I received a free BlackBerry Pearl 9105 courtesy of Sun Cellular with unlimited Call & Text, Unlimited BlackBerry Internet Service, and Unlimited Mobile Internet. All of the mentioned services are included in Sun Cellular’s BIS plan 999.

Due to the fact that I’m so thrilled to try a postpaid BB plan, I then synched my e-mail and data from my good old BlackBerry Bold 9000. I synched all my contacts and BBM friends to my Sun Cellular-powered BlackBerry and everything went well. My new BlackBerry is now a clone of my old BlackBerry bold phone.

Real time e-mail synching

Installing apps in a breeze!

All incoming and outgoing e-mails from my good old Blackberry syncs in real time with my new Blackberry powered by Sun Cellular. Sending messages to my online buddies using Gtalk, MSN, and Yahoo Messenger are blazing fast. It’s like I’m carrying a micro laptop with ultra high speed internet connection.

All the instant messaging apps you need!

I can do almost everything with this small beast. My Google calendar, Drop Box, and other important account data are in sync and I have nothing to worry about. If you have your BlackBerry with you, you’ll never be offline again. You’re always online anytime and anywhere as long as your BIS is active and you’re within the data coverage of course.

Accessing your Social Networking accounts, IM accounts, and Internet Applications is as easy as doing nothing. Receiving notifications for these is as simple and as fast as receiving an SMS. No need to refresh to check your latest notifications and e-mails as your BlackBerry will do the entire job for you.
If you’re worried that your date and time are wrong, worry no more! Your BlackBerry will automatically sync to the current network time!

Another thing that I love about BlackBerry with an activated BIS is its BlackBerry Protect feature. It’s an app in your BlackBerry device that backups your data in real time if there are changes made. You can retrieve your data anytime in case your phone is lost or stolen.

Now your data is 100% secure.

You can wipe out your data and lock your phone if somebody took it from you or you left it somewhere. What’s really great with this feature is that you can trace your phone. So if it’s stolen and the BIS is still active, then you’ll know your phone’s whereabouts.

To top all of it, Sun Cellular’s 999 BlackBerry Internet Service plan is not “just” another BIS plan, because it comes with unlimited call and text! If you think other prepaid and postpaid plans are cheaper, think again. With Sun Ceullar’s 999 BIS postpaid plan, you’ll get unlimited Blackberry service, unlimited mobile internet, unlimited calls, and unlimited SMS! Terrific, isn’t it?

Those are just the few things of what BlackBerry powered by Sun Cellular can do. You’ll be impressed with its mad skills once you’ve tried it yourself! If you’re a messaging geek and loves to check e-mails every now and then, if you’re a die-hard Facebook and Twitter user who can’t live a minute without posting status updates, if you want to watch online videos fast without experiencing any lags or buffering, if you want to browse the internet faster than even before, then a Blackberry with Unlimited Internet Service from Sun Cellular is all you need.

Do you want to avail of Sun Cellular’s postpaid BlackBerry Plan 999 and get a free Blackberry smartphone? Are you planning of getting a new BlackBerry Handheld or adding the BlackBerry Service to your existing line, then Sun Cellular has the plan for you!

You can avail of a BlackBerry Curve 9300 3G (for a limited time only), BlackBerry Curve 8520, and BlackBerry Pearl 9105 for FREE if you avail of Sun Cellular’s BlackBerry Plan 999. Check this page out for more details.

So, is Sun Cellular’s BlackBerry internet service plan worth the buck? You know the answer.

Do you love BlackBerry and its unlimited data services? Do you hate it? Have you tried it? Do you have any plans in buying a BlackBerry? Please share your thoughts below.

PS: Happy Holidays everyone! Hehe. :D

The Last Few Minutes….

jehzlau — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 13:28:45 +0000

Time runs so fast. I still can’t believe that the physical body of the person closest to me has turned back into ashes. He’s still with me, but he’s now inside an urn. I wasn’t able to talk to him before he died. He was struggling to breathe deeply while his eyes were wide opened.

He cried for the first time. I never saw him cry before. His tears fell down from his eyes, but he never said anything. There were no last words because he wasn’t able to speak anymore.

2 hours before he died, I was able to call PGH and schedule for an ambulance to pick up my dad while he’s still alive. I dialed 554-8400, and the automatic voice prompted. I was then connected to the ambulance department.

Jehzeel:Hello po. Kelangan ko po ng ambulance. Masyadong mahina na tatay ko, kelangan ko po siya dalhin sa PGH.
PGH Operator: San po ang location nila?
Jehzeel: Manila area po, near SM San Lazaro
PGH Operator: Hindi namin convered ang area na yan. Isakay niyo nalang sa taxi. *Unpolitely speaking*
Jehzeel: Hindi na po siya makalakad. Masyadong mahina na.
PGH Operator: Ehdi buhatin niyo tapos isakay niyo sa taxi.
Jehzeel: May stage 4 cancer po siya, kelangan ko sana e admit today.
PGH Operator: E bat nasa bahay niyo lng? Wala sa hospital?
Jehzeel: Kasi po na discharge na siya 2 weeks ago. Then nanghina ulit ngayon. Kelangan ko ulit e admit, pero sa PGH na kasi mahal ang USTH. Nakuha ko na din ang medical records for transfer.
PGH Operator: So anong gagawin namin dyan? Kami mag a-alaga nyan? Dahil mahal ang USTH, ililipat niyo na sa PGH, tama po ba?
Jehzeel: Opo, kelangan ko na po ng ambulance now para ma admit na namin siya sa PGH.
PGH Operation: Ano bang status ng patient ngayon? Pag emergency yan, pwede namin pick-up, tawag ka ulit sa hotline namin tapos pa transfer ka to emergency.

I called PGH again and followed the instructions of the PGH Operator guy.

Jehzeel: Hello? I need an ambulance po, emergency po sana, hindi na makahinga tatay ko.
PGH Emergency Guy: San ang location nila?
Jehzeel: Manila po, near SM San Lazaro.
PGH Emergency Guy: Ay hindi kami aabot sa lugar na yan. Within 2 kilometers lng kami. Tawag ka nalang sa ibang ambulance, like sa Red Cross.
Jehzeel: Ok po.

I then tweeted that I hate PGH and blah blah blah. Good thing Ria Barretto of Nuffnang BBMed me and gave me a contact number of Ace Cor Ambulance service, after reading my tweet. Right after I received the number I called Ace Cor and scheduled for an ambulance pick-up to our residence. They said that they will arrive in 45 minutes to 1 hour.

To make sure that an ambulance will arrive on time, I also called the emergency hotline 117 and they forwarded me to the Philippine Red Cross. 117 told me to put the phone down because they will contact me in a few seconds. At that time, my father is struggling to breath. He’s now inhaling and exhaling faster than normal. I panicked, but not in an obvious manner. I called 117 again because they didn’t call me after 1 minute. I told them to hurry because my dad is obviously having a hard time breathing.

Our neighbors were now watching outside, trying to figure out what’s happening inside our house. A lot of things happened and I cannot remember every detail. My dad just stopped breathing at 6:45PM last November 15, 2011. His eyes were wide opened when he died. I still didn’t lose hope and I think that he’s still alive. I borrowed an oxygen tank from our neighbor. And I also found out that there’s a registered nurse next door.

The nurse told me that my father had no pulse and he was now gone. I still can’t believe it and I think that he just stopped breathing for a while and he can still be revived. The Red Cross ambulance arrived after 30 minutes, and they said that they will not pick-up the patient anymore because he’s already dead. I asked if they can bring my dad’s body to USTH, but they refused.

My neighbors told me that I should just bring the body directly to the funeral home, so that I will not pay extra hospital bills if I rush my dad to the emergency room of USTH. I didn’t agree with them and told them that I will still bring my dad to the hospital and hope for a miracle.

After an hour, the Ace Cor ambulance arrived. Ace Cor is a private and paid ambulance, that’s why they didn’t refuse wherever I want to bring my dad. We then proceeded to USTH ER and I told the ER staff to revive my dad. They asked me twice if I’m still willing to revive him, because they will try all their best to revive the patient. I said yes. They tried hard and did whatever they could, but after 10 minutes, the doctor asked me again that there will be complications and his ribs might break. I still asked them to revive and I hoped for a miracle. After 15 minutes, they said that my dad is really dead and we can’t revive him anymore. If they will try harder, nothing will happen.

I don’t wanna let go, but I have to. I’m at the brink of agony on that very moment. I still can’t believe that my father passed away. I want to force myself and believe that I was just inside a dream, inside a very bad nightmare.

I’m still smiling that time, but deep inside, I’m full of pain. I never cried, but deep inside, my heart is mourning. I settled my hospital bills and brought my dad’s body to St. Peter Funeral home. My friends and family gathered and visited my dad’s wake. Some of my close friends and relatives wasn’t able to come. They just sent their condolences via e-mail and SMS.

A few days passed, I have learned to accept that my dad is now resting in peace. My dad’s remains were cremated last November 19, 2011. It’s really painful. I wasn’t able to buy the piano that he wants, the bike that he wants, and some material things that he wants. I wasn’t able to bring him abroad as I promised him. He has a passport, because I asked him to get one. It’s still unmarked and I’m very sad that I wasn’t able to extend his life for a few months or years so that we can travel together abroad. I think what I did for him wasn’t enough.

Now I’m back online. It’s time to work again and pay my debts.

PS: Thanks to everyone who lent me some cash to help pay my dad’s hospital bills. Thanks also to all of my online and offline friends who donated blood to my tatay. He said that if he will survive cancer, he will donate blood to you as well when you will need it sometime in the future. But sadly, he didn’t. Once again, thanks to all of you. You know who are and you will never be forgotten.
