Eraserheads concert will push through!!!

Friday, August 29th, 2008

Brace yourself everyone. Over the past few days we have all been on our heels hoping and praying that the Eraserheads concert will definitely push through. There had been a problem with the supposed to be free tickets then there had been bad and heartbreaking news that the Eraserheads Reunion Concert was cancelled because Marlboro chose to cancel their sponsorship of the concert and that DOH had not issued a permit. Fans became really outraged! Why on earth did they tell the world that they were going to have a concert and at the last minute cancel it? It was really heartbreaking especially to the die hard E-heads fans who had been waiting for the concert since the beginning of the concert rumor.

Now, it’s official. Eraserheads Reunion Concert would be held at the Fort on August 30! Don’t expect to get a free ticket though as a general admission ticket will cost you P800 and P1300. It’s already the discounted price as the ticket prices were dropped from P1,030 and P2,060!

If you want to purchase some tickets for this amazing reunion concert, you still have time. Go and visit any Ticketworld outlet and ask for available tickets. The tickets had been released since August 27 so expect these tickets to be sold out very soon. Don’t waste time! There’s only a few days left so you have to buy those tickets now!

After the heartbreaking news about their concert’s cancellation, paying some cash for their tickets is not enough to stop the die hard Eraserheads fans to flock the concert area. Why, after all these years it’s just now that all the original members of Eraserheads would get together and sing their old yet very popular songs again. It’s like going down on memory lane. It’s time to feel young again as we reminisce the songs of the 90’s.

Eraserheads rock! Hopefully this won’t really be their final concert together. The more concerts and more new songs from Eraserheads, the better!

Daisy Siete Season 19: Vaklushii

Thursday, August 28th, 2008

If you are a fan of the sex bomb dancers, you’d definitely find this season to be exciting and absolutely hilarious. Daisy Siete’s Season 19 evolves around 2 cebuanas who are die hard fans of Rochelle who is a very popular star. When Sunshine and Mia found out that Rochelle will hold a concert in their area, they won’t ever want to miss it for the world. So, they decided to watch their idol but they had no idea that this will actually change their lives.

They became the only witnesses for the abduction of their idol. Because of this, their lives were in danger so they tried to escape and hid inside a container van that was headed to Manila. The next day, they realized they had been transported to an unfamiliar place. Being new to Manila, they were scared and a bit confused. They ended up meeting some gay comedians who gave them a very good idea. In order to make ends meet in an unfamiliar land, they decided to play as drag queens. They are then known as Shynna and Miguellita.

This season of Daisy Siete will surely make Filipinos laugh so hard that they just can’t stop watching it. Just the thought of these two lovely ladies portraying as gay drag queens would already make you burst in laughter.

The season started last July 21 on GMA 7’s Dramarama sa Hapon. If you haven’t tuned in to the show yet, you better start watching.

If you missed the previous episode, no worry because I will be posting the replay videos here but of course better to watch it on TV for clearer view.

Unable to connect to any antivirus site

Wednesday, August 27th, 2008

Just yesterday my computer got infected by nasty virus/spyware, the virus hijack my browser when going to any AV site or known support forum. The virus is preventing me to access those site and instead it redirected me to my localhost/127.0.0.1 . I am using windows XP Pro and was using AVG Free.

I tried to scan using AVG but it does not find anything either. I noticed that the virus definition was not updated, and keep failing to update. The virus is preventing me to access the updates, so what I did is used web proxy to visit the AVG site and luckily I got in and download the updates manually. I scan again and still no virus was found.

So then I went and tried all other free antivirus softwares out there: BitDefender, Avira Antivir, Spybot, and still no luck to find any virus/spyware.

I also tried to checked my HOSTS file and it looked normal. I keep on looking/searching on the net until I found the solution on a cnet forum.

Nokia E71

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008

If you loved the Nokia E61 and E61i, you will surely love the Nokia E71. It is smaller and thinner compared to the E61i at a thickness of only 10mm and at just 57mm in length. The display screen is respectable at 2.36 inches although it is smaller compared to the 2.8 inches of Nokia E61.

The Nokia E71 features a 3.6 Mbps HSDPA, wifi 802.11 b/g with a Symbian operating system 9.2 that is perfect for your internet browsing requirement.  The QWERTY keyboard lets you type your

grey nokia e71

messages just like using a computer keyboard but it’s just a bit too small to be comfortable. If you have big fingers, this phone may not be that appealing because of its cute keyboard. It’s perfect for women though as women are gifted with smaller fingers compared to men but if you could master the fingernail typing instead of using your fingers for pressing the keys then this won’t be a problem for you.

In the Philippines, you could purchase your own Nokia E71 for about P21,000. If you want to buy it from Nokia it can be bought for more than P35,000 inclusive of warranty. With all of Nokia E71’s features, this cellular phone is priced just right.

Of course this cellular phone is not all superb. It only has a 110 MB internal memory with an extra 128 MB of SDRAM memory but this could be increased if you buy a higher memory. Its camera is not designed to compete with other new camera phones as it only has a 3.15 megapixel camera. To some, this is an advantage because this phone is not built for taking photos but for its laptop-like features which is what Nokia focused on for this quality phone.

If you need to check your emails regularly but doesn’t want to buy a bulky laptop, the Nokia E71 is an excellent buy.
