I was reading the PC World Website and the title “Meet the $30,000 Cell Phone” caught my attention. I didn’t know that a very expensive mobile phone which cost a fortune is actually real. I can already live a lifetime with that amount of money. Seriously.
The phone I was referring to was the Vertu Cell Phone that probably only rich brat like Paris Hilton can afford. What’s so special about this phone?
The accessories and phone parts are made of pure jewels. It has a ruby keypad bearings, a blemish-free sapphire and stainless steel alloy housing, a deeper bass speakers, and 18 carat gold furnishings on its metal casing. One of Vertu’s released phones is the “Vertu Boucheron 150″ which is made on pure solid gold.
Are you willing to spend as much for a cellphone? So this question is raised, how much are you willing to spend for a cellphone?

For the past weeks, I had a very slow connection (again). Since I’m on a SmartBro connection, this case is not new. Instead of wasting my time calling their costumer service, and waiting for their worst after sales support. No, I made a few attempts to call them actually, but it seemed that I could not “catch” any representative because only a voice prompt answers my calls.
So, I tried to resort to other means that I thought could speed up my PC. I downloaded some internet booster software, which didn’t work. I also tried to run several browsers, thinking that Mozilla Firefox no more works for faster browsing on my PC. I even tried to install the latest version of Fasterfox, a Firefox extensions which tweaks some of the browser’s configuration for faster browsing. I cleaned up my hard disk, deleting all the unused files, including some of my mp3 collections. I’ve deleted almost 1000 mp3 files, which I regretted after. I patiently downloaded some of them when I was still on a dial-up connection. None of these things worked.

I was supposed to receive my first Google Adsense check worth $110 this 25th of February because I chose the Standard Delivery type, but until now, I have not seen any traces of the check. I regularly visit the postal office, in fact, the postmaster already complained saying that I should wait because it will arrive just like the previous one (she was referring to my Google Adsense PIN).
When I read about publishers losing their Adsense money because someone else cashed it (Jepoy was the latest victim), I was alarmed. I immediately contacted Google informing them about my lost check asking for a possible re-issuance of the check. Gladly, I received their response within minutes. They asked for the Payment number and the amount sent (these can be found on your Payment History page). It was a relief when they told me that I can expect for re-issuance. Yay! Heeding the advice of Yuga, I chose the Secured Delivery method so similar things won’t happen.

I have to write about this. This was supposed to be an entry the other night.
I installed a forum for my free hosting using Simple Machines Forum the other night. All features were set, the forums were added, but one modification “does not work” – the Ad Management mod. That was what I thought. I couldn’t allow this (no Adsense) to happen so I modified the templates, and because I am not that expert in PHP, I messed up everything. I thought my only option to keep everything to work was uninstalling it and re-start another installation. It was easy to unistall but it takes a lot of patience and time when installing. But I need not worry because FireFTP does its work well. Only that I have to make the posts I made a while ago, again. *sigh*

In connection with the community-medicine curriculum of our school, we are required to submit diaries regarding our community activities. It’s not hard to do, but sometimes problems arise with procrastination. So now, I have to make 12 diaries that’s why I am still awake at this hour. I am done with the draft and I only have to encode it. Okay, I should start now!
