Friday Night Out: Chocolate Buffet and Fiamma

Been in a bit of a rough patch recently... you may call it a slump. Anyway Tiu and Cams convinced me to join them and some other friends in a 'Chocolate Buffet' at Manila Peninsula Hotel [in Makati]... I'm a self-confessed Chocolate Lover and wow it was so good...!!! I may have eaten too much though and was giddy with the sugar high! We then headed to Fiamma [along Jupiter] a really nice place... so clean and white and the people were beautiful a bit crowded [even if it was still a soft opening] the place still smelled a bit like concrete though [they had a separate smoking area as this bar was in Makati after all so you won't smell like an ashtray a definite plus to non-smokers], prices were not cheap but hey I don't drink! Hahaha :o) It would do good to invest in a resident DJ though as the CD or whatever repeated na and to me that is a no-no in any establishment [save for an elevator of course ;-)]... May I suggest DJ Roman Mojica or DJ Marie Garcia.

Both have been loosing market share to Apple, Android and Blackberry in recent years. WindowsMobile (previously PocketPC and currently WindowsPhone) once the dominant mobile OS, yes folks before the iPhone came into power Microsoft slowly but surely killed of it’s main competitor palm OS, which was acquired by hp last year and is now barely a sliver of a shadow of it’s former former former self. Just this week hp/palm unveiled 2 new smartphones the palm Pre 3 and Veer, as well as their entry into the tablet space with the TouchPad. hp being one of the top computer manufacturers at the moment has the resources to use and spread webOS like a creamy peanut butter across all markets they are in. By being one of MSFT’s biggest customers now suddenly not using Windows7 (still MSFT’s tablet OS of choice) and churning out comp...

Darth Kegaw to Treo 750: It is Useless to Resist

I have never been one to keep my devices *as is* when it comes to the OS/Firmware… This 2nd Treo 750 will be no different. So I dusted off my old Cheetah files [trivia: the Treo 750 is codenamed HTC Cheetah] and decided to HARD SPL [this allows for non-carrier branded ROMs to be loaded] and flashed it to a Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM. Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen… and the ROM loaded without any issues. I did notice that Microsoft Voice Command 1.6 was not included in this ROM not really a problem since I own the software as well. I’m currently syncing my PIM data and will be installing my apps over the next few days.

Coron Labor Day Weekend Getaway

The weather wasn’t as cooperative as we would’ve liked but I think we made the most of it :D [waiting for our flight to Busuanga] We went to the saltwater hot spring, island hoping, and had a whole lot of fun at Loralee’s luau.
