Updating Twitter and Plurk accounts via cellphone update.
September 30, 2009Some of us Pinoys do have cell phones to update their Twitter and Plurk accounts. But have you ever wondered they update their Twitter and Plurk accounts using their cellphones?
Regarding Twitter, I tried once and I followed the instructions, but I don’t know how after that. Regarding Plurk, I don’t know if Plurk allows cellphone update.

30th Manila International Book Fair Part Two/2, and a birthday party.
September 20, 2009
I went to SM Mall of Asia’s SMX Convention Center, to attend the 30th Manila International Book Fair. I didn’t check the time I arrived at that time.
One/1 reason came to my mind is that, I almost at the exiting area of MRT Taft Station, I couldn’t find the/my MRT ticket. So I decided to a buy lost ticket that costs fifteen pesos (Pup 15.00), and one stored value ticket that costs 100 pesos.
I put my stored value at the main compartment of my backpack. I don’t know why I put my stored value, in that area of my backpack.
Well anyway. I gave my free entrance from the booth of Christian Literature Crusade.
I bought a book from Ateneo Press (Ateneo de Manila University Press) called Lalake sa Dilim (Man in the Darkness) by Benjamin Pascual. It (the book) costs 215 pesos. It the first book I bought from a press owned and managed by a university.
And then, I bought the following books from Christian Literature Crusade:
iGod (50 Pesos)
Every Teenager’s Little Black Book on Reaching Your Dreams (50 Pesos)
Pass A Load (25 Pesos)
Losing Weight – Permanently (100 Pesos)
After that, I went to Megamall to attend my niece’s first/1st birthday party in Tia Maria’s. The location of the aforementioned restaurant is located in third/3rd floor of the Mega Atrium of Megamall.
When the train I was riding yesterday when I was going to the aforementioned event and location, the rain started to fall. The left sleeve and the back of my polo got wet.
And also, aside from Ateneo Press, UP’s University of the Philippines Press, and UST’s University of Santo Tomas Publishing House, are also there, at the aforementioned event.
I don’t know if I will be able to attend next year’s Manila Book Fair.

30th Manila International Book Fair Part One/1
September 17, 2009I went yesterday at the SMX Convention Center for the first day of 30th Manila International Book fair. SMX Convention Center is located at the compound of SM Mall of Asia, and near the church of Shrine of Jesus.
First, going to the aforementioned event. It took me about one/1 hour to ride on an air-conditioned bus. The first/1st air-conditioned bus that I saw is already full. Meaning, there are a lot of people who are standing.
When I was already inside the bus, there was a traffic going Valenzuela City’s Malinta Exit. I don’t know if there is traffic enforcers who are doing their job, because I was sitting near the bus drive. The bus I was riding on arrived at Valenzuela City’s Malinta Exit at around 12:19 pm.
I ate my lunch at TriNoma’s Food Choices located at the mall’s second/2nd floor. I ate one/1 grilled quarter pounder chicken, macaroni salad and mashed potato from World Chicken. I forgot the sauce for the chicken. And my drink is Royal.
After that, I went to Netopia of the same floor of the same mall. I printed a copy of a free entrance for the aforementioned event. It cost me fifteen pesos (Philippine peso 15.00). I saved five pesos (Philippine peso 5.00). Because the entrance fee for adults is twenty pesos (Philippine peso 20.00). I’m don’t remember if the entrance for students, and others is fifteen pesos (Philippine peso 15.00).
At the time I was riding a passenger jeep and the passenger jeep going to SM Mall of Asia, it is started to rain. The rain stopped when and while I was inside SM Mall of Asia’s SMX Convention Center.
When I was already inside of the aforementioned convention center in the first/1st day of the event, I hear a familiar voice while I roaming and looking and sightseeing. I said to myself that the voice I hear in a special event in the Stage Area, it is similar to TV personality Kim Atienza.
I bought three/3 Philippine editions of Men’s Health, and three/3 Philippine editions of Entrepreneur, in the booth of Summit Media.
After I roaming and looking and sightseeing. I decided to go home.

The Final Destination
I watched The Final Destination last Wednesday, September 2, in TriNoma, Quezon City, Philippines. To be honest, the film is a horror movie but it didn’t give me a scare.
The movie revolves around 4/four teenagers (two/2 boys, and two/2 girls) watches a car racing. And okay. I don’t want you to be spoiled if you didn’t watch the movie yet. The film has also good moments.
Pan’s Labyrinth
And then, last Saturday, September 5. Around late afternoon, to mid-evening, I watched Pan’s Labyrinth, a Spanish-based film directed by Guillermo del Toro.
The American actor, Doug Jones is the only American actor in the Academy-/Oscar-winning Spanish-based film. Guillermo del Toro is genius in this film.
The movie revolves around a girl took three/3 tasks from a faun.
The Grudge 3
I watched The Grudge 3 yesterday, September 9, in TriNoma, Quezon City, Philippines. To be honest, the film is a horror movie but there is one/1 scene gave me a scare.
Sorry folks/people. I’m not a type of person, who reveals a plot of a movie, television show, music video, book, etc. online.
Senator Noynoy Aquino, is running for president, in the 2010 President Elections.
September 9, 2009Yes, you read it right. Senator Noynoy Aquino, is running for president, in the 2010 President Elections.
I learned that he’s running for the aforementioned position, for next year’s presidential elections. If my memory serves me right, he announced his announcement in San Juan, Greenhills.
I learned this, while I eating my breakfast. As far as I remember, aside from Senator Aquino, Senator Chiz Escudero, is also running for president, for next year’s elections. 2010 Presidential elections, that is. I forgot the other people who are running for president.
By the way. I’m just sharing what I watched on the television.

September 1, here in the Philippines.
September 1, 2009
Today is September 1. Here in the Philippines, as early as September 1, most Filipinos think of Christmas.
Some radio stations play Christmas song. Some business establishments, including department stores and supermarkets do play Christmas songs. Some people think what gifts they give to other people. Some people think what food to be served during the Christmas Eve, especially during the Christmas Day itself.
There are times that the leftover food from Christmas, are eaten during the New Year’s Eve. And if there are still leftovers, it will be it during the New Year’s Day. Sometimes, the leftovers are eaten, after New Year’s Day.
Well, these are some of the practices here in the Philippines.
