A Windy, Wavy and Rainy Day at Nagsasa Cove
by DarkBlak on Jun.06, 2009, under Trip to Philippines, personal
Despite of unpredictable weather condition we still push our Nagsasa Cove trip last May 30 and 31, 2009. I don’t have much to share as I did not enjoy that much but I can share you how fun it is to camp in an isolated island on a bad rainy day.
Here it goes. First and foremost we arrived at the Victory Liner Caloocan terminal at almost 12:00mn and we did’nt have the chance to buy tickets because the ticket boot was already close. Since we are all willing to go we took our chance by lining up on the chance passenger line. Unfortunately only 5 of us got chance to board the bus, the remaining 8 on our group rent a van going to San Antion Zambalez for 4,000php. We arrived at San Antonio, Zambales around 3:00am and the other group arrived around 4:30am.
We need to stay at the Plaza until the markets open because we to buy supplies for our camping trip at Nagsasa Cove. By 7:00am we arrived at Pundaquit Beach and have to wait for the weather to calm at least before we go to Nagsasa Cove. After almost an hour when the weather are bit calm we decided to go and sail even if the wind is still strong and the waves are bit high.
Since the winds and the waves are not that friendly we have a hard time sailing going to Nagsasa Cove. There are time that we need no slow whenever the waves are bit high. Finally after more or less an hour the wavy, windy, and rainy trip to Nagsasa has ended.
If you want how we managed to stay there on that rainy day you can view my friends photos here, here, here and here.

Removing WiGo Toolbar
by DarkBlak on May.19, 2009, under tech stuff
If you have a UMPC (Ultra-Mobile PC) like me and most of the time always surfing the net using the free wifi access provided by WiGo, the problem is before you can use WiGo’s free wifi you need to run their annoying toolbar first and let it sit on your screen while your surfing. This WiGo toolbar eats too much space on my 10″ MSI Wind U100 laptop (See example screenshot below). No worries though, I have found a workaround to remove WiGo toolbar, it helps me a lot and hopefully you too.
There is actually a two way to do this, one is to find another wifi access (either free or not) or you could do the following steps: (continue reading…)
Bob Ong’s Kapitan Sino The Review
by DarkBlak on May.17, 2009, under books
Katulad ng “Alamat ng Gubat” at “Mac Arthur” ang Kapitan Sino ay sumasalamin sa naghuhumiyaw na katotohanan na nangyayari sa ating bayan, sa ating paligid… sa ating sarili. 80’s ang setting ng Kapitan Sino pero kung isisipin mong mabuti hanggang ngayon ganito pa rin ang nangyayari s atin. Mga taong naghahanap ng kaligtasan sa iba, mga buhay na umiikot sa wala, mga bayaning madaling malimutan.

THERE IS SOMETHING STRANGE IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD
Naunahan na naman ang mga pulis sa pagtugis sa mga holdaper ng isang jewelry shop. Bago noon, may iba na ring nakahuli sa isang carnaper; sumaklolo sa mga taong nasa itaas ng nasusunog na building; nagligtas sa sanggol na hinostage ng ama; tumulong para makatawid sa kalsada ang isang matanda; tumiklo sa mga miyembro ng Akyat-Bahay; sumagip sa mag-anak na tinangay ng tubig-baha; nag-landing nang maayos sa isang Boeing 747 na nasiraan ng engine; at nagpasabog sa isang higanteng robot. Pero sino ang taong ‘yon? Maililigtas nya ba sila Aling Baby? At ano nga ba talaga ang sabon ng mga artista?
KAPITAN SINO
Ang pinakabagong superhero noon.
Mas matibay pa sa orig.
Sa mas mahabang panahon.

Are you looking for pinoy textmates? That’s easy, just use Google Search, Yahoo Search or MSN Search and voila you will be presented by a numerous website which more or less have a section for finding a textmate. Now if you’re going to search for a pinoy textmate migth as well use a targeted keyword. For example you can use “Globe Textmate” as your keyword for finding a good textmate. You can also use “Sun Textmate“, “Smart Textmate” or even “Pinoy Textmate“.
After searching you can now exchange funny quotes, love text or jokes with your new textmate. A word of precaution though, be very extra careful when you finally decide to meet up with your new textmate. There are many poser out there, sometimes they disguise as your friendly textmate hiding their real motives to you and showing it only when you meet up. So be very extra careful, ok?
Now if you’re not in the mood to search your next globe textmate or your next smart textmate or your next sun textmate or your next whatever carrier textmate, you can leave your number here and hope that someone will text you and exchange words from you. One quick disclaimer, if you post your number here I will not be liable to any offensive text that you’ll be receiving I am only providing you a gateway to meet new friends.
