Past 3 pm when I'm already in Walter Mart Sta. Rosa, the nearest landmark to my destination Enchanted Kingdom when brewster Ciniul Steve texted me.My first plan was to go to the area as early as possible coz of my own live Brewrats @ EK coverage via Twitter. Before 3:30 pm, I Allan Zapanta and someother brewsters near the park's entrance. A clear sign that there are already some brewsters currently enjoying the rides inside. Few minutes later, Ciniul finally gave the entrance ticket to me. After I won the tickets at the very first day the Brewrats gave it away, I decided that I'll not going to the rides (exceptfor Rialto which I tried later that night) coz I want to focus more on sight-seeing. It's my first time to be in the area. I even remembered a time way back in my high school when my parents didn't allow me to go in a field trip which the said place was one of the stop-overs. (A little K.J. from them, he he!). It may alsodisrupt my "tweeting" and I also want to go to the arcade shop to play my favorite arcade fighting game (which they didn't have one when I checked it) that's why I don't want to go to the rides. More brewsters that I met when we we're already in the area as we're also chit-chatting. We are also waiting to the "rats" to arrive as they arrived at past 4pm. At first, I didn't approach them coz they were in a "shooting" mode for a future episode of TV5's show Front Act. After that, I'm suprised that DJ Angel (in her white Mango sando) came near to me to hand over a free meal stub (Wow! No need to spend some few pesos to the food court, thanks!). The rats and most of the brewsters got their 1st ride at Anchors Away (which I started my ninja mode!) as I headed to the arcade shop as well as the other "must-see" places. I consumed my meal stub before 5pm and got an unexpected 2nd meal stub, thanks to Lea-babes. Tado's family members decided to stop over in Sips Ahoy within the hour of 5 as soon as more brewsters after a few minutes. It was like a mini-gathering in that atmosphere. Finally, I got a chance to have a long conversation with blind brewster Eljohn after I first saw him way back November last year in Palistuhan rap challenge finals. By suprise, about computers and internet was our main topic. As most of the brewsters headed back to the rides after they ate, lucky that I'm still in the area with some brewsters as Angel went to our direction. Fast forward, we and Angel saw Ramon and another group of listeners ready to shoot another spiel for Front Act. The TV crew even had to go to a Take 3 coz Tado just appeared in the picture to join us in the scene. After that, the rats and us brewsters had another rest in front of Rio Grande rapids as Ramon led a little moment of silence for the late Ronald Labadlabad. We're waiting for the 7pm scheduled fireworks display that time as a food stall crew near us gave us a tip that the fireworks will be near the Space Shuttle. Of course, I gave back my "thank yous" to her. Quite bad that the anticipated event's kinda delayed so like a "follow the leader" mode, Ramon led us to the Eldar Tent to watch a free magic show and to the Rialto. After we watched the 3 participants of the fireworks display (which already started at past 8 pm), Ramon decided to go to the Wheel of Fate, the EK's version of the popular Ferris Wheel. Because of that, I went on a ninja mode once again as I even saw Ramon pointing his fingers to me while he's in the ride as I watched them sitting near the area. Past 9pm, we met Tado and his company near the gates to have our final picture taking for the night in a class picture fashion. Since after the Front Act shoot at past 6pm, I never saw Angel up to the time that we had to leave the area. Overall, it was one of the best Brewrats-related events that I joined.
Me at PLDT MyDSL Watchpad bloggers event at Magnet Hi St.
As you noticed my last Thursday's summary of the Brewrats was not that full packed. The reason: I attended my 2nd blogging event as I said in the title. I arrived at around 5:30 pm and I thought that I am already late for the event. Good thing, some of the crews at the said bar we're still fixing some things. It was a little O.P. for me coz most of the bloggers brought their own laptop and enjoy free PLDT MyDSL internet and to try their new service called Watchpad. Good thing, I met bloggers Jhong and Wentot for lending me some minutes of their laptops to personally experience the software. I tried to watch MTV Philippines while viewing my twitter account and it was as cool as a breeze. It was a free flowing of food, ice tea and a light beer. former San Beda courtside reporter Pia Boren took care of the hosting chores as The Johnnys anchored the special Rockeoke night for the event. To my suprise, Rhian Ramos appeared in the stage and sang With or Without You. It was a good version by her. I'm contented coz I got a paper bag full of goodies from PLDT like a baller ID that has a USB drive in it, a jacket, a DVD installer of Watchpad (which is not yet available commercially) and a cool automatic umbrella.
Days later, I just found out that Alodia Gosiengfiao was also in the event. See the proof at her deviantart site (Brewrats term: Wasak!). I didn't see her during that night.
Special thanks to sir Azrael Coladilla for allowing me to use some of his pics at the event
My live tweets last Saturday at Enchanted Kingdom
Too bad if you missed my live tweet coverage of the Brewrats at Enchanted Kingdom last Saturday which I started at around 3:00pm (0700 GMT) and it ended at about 1020pm (1420 GMT). That time, I was already in a jeepney ride in San Pedro, Laguna. Good thing, I'll post my tweets for those who missed it. Thanks to the 11 brewsters who tuned in last Saturday. Here it is the 25 tweets from EK! (Time posted at Manila time)
What If the Mall Pathways Are as Same as a Typical Tollway?
Most of the time, I'm a fast walker but it doesn't mean that I'm always in a hurry. Feels like it's al eady natural to me and mall is one of my favorite hangouts. As expected, you'll expect different kinds of people whether he/she in a "solo flight" mode, with his/her special someone or with his/her family or group of friends. For years that already learned the art of malling, there are some little things that I want to imagine something like if there's a slow and fast lane in the mall's pathways. I'm thinking about this specially when I encounter two persons (basically,a male and a female) and you'll know that they're in a relationship because they're in HHWW mode. For sure they know that its not a park to walk in slo-mo which you may combine some of them, the result is a human traffic.They even stretching their arms in each other which in some point, you'll have less chances to overtake them and it reallh happened to me for a lot of times specially in known malls. It's ok to me if they're like our senior citizens, someone who carries a heavy load or a parent (or parents) who have to walk slow in order to keep their kids on their safety. For sure,you already experienced this. Hope those "swethearts" who sometimes do this (either by accident or what's worse, intentionally) will think twice after they read this blog post.
Another self centered message for me in a blog by a brewster
Yah, another brewster just opened her own blog which is also quite a known brewster named as Ineng Buang. We had some exchange of infos about blogging including on what I taught on her about the "Followers" thing. Just check http://inengbuang-panext.blogspot.com/
Exclusive: Ever wonder,text message failed when you send a text at U92 textline
When the phone's busy in our house and I'm tuning in to U92 (92.3 fm), I have two ways to communicate, thru twitter or thru their "unique" textline which is 6323590892. Like some of my fellow brewsters, some are confused, some are complaining (esp. during the Brewrats) that they can't send their text messages on-air. To end this mystery, here it goes:
Earlier this afternoon during DJ Eri Neeman's shift (10am-2pm), I called the U92 hotline and I already had a theory on the mystery, all I need to do is gather some info. A girl answered my call and straight to the point, I asked her on what's the telco behind their textline and she answered it's a Smart number. It's a Smart landline which they can also receive text messages. I even asked her if there's a Smart logo embedded in their handset and she said yes. Oh, gotcha! The answer (and she also confirmed it), that they can only receive text messages from a Smart mobile number (I'm not quite sure on the TNT subscribers). So if you're a Globe subscriber (just like one of my numbers) , sorry you really can't send a text message to them no matter how strong or weak is your signal. I even advised them to please tell to all the listeners (and the brewsters) about this thing. Hopefully, they will respond on this.
So that's it, mystery's solved!

Manila FM stations stepped up last Saturday during typhoon Ondoy
September 26, 2009, it was about 1:40pm when we experienced power outage as I am watching Eat Bulaga during that time. Because of that, I have to tune in to my radio to kill the boredom. I already expecting that there will be a brownout soon (but in our area, we never experienced floods or strong winds). I am in channel surfing mode when my curiosity ran over thru that afternoon radio show on 97.1 Barangay LS entitled "Talk to Papa". Good to know that instead of having a normal run of their show, they used their time to announce some Ondoy-related updates. After that at around past 4pm, Gang Badoy of Rocked Radio and some DJs came in the Jam 88.3 booth to put a program dedicated to announce some Ondoy updates coz most of us have radio in our cellphones but we don't have AM radio. It ran about 16 hours during that first try. As of now, they still running that program but it evolved into "Jam Central" which airs everyday at midnight on that said radio station. Sept. 28, other radio stations followed as they also announcing some news while they are in their regular programming.
I'll post my own story on typhoon Ondoy soon.
It's Krrunch Time, Get Playful!
Krrunch time at home:
In most of my free time every week, I have two things that I usually do: reading a broadsheet or playing my favorite role-playing game (RPG) in my gaming console. At first, I have that urge to read all of the news and articles as sometimes, I can really smell the ink that came from it's printing press. As I'm reading a part of a long story, I feel tired of reading that article so I switch my eyes to another newspaper section. The end result: I missed some infos and good views. Good thing, I have Pringles crispy chips at my lap to put that "ho-humm" time into a "Krrunch" time at my favorite pastime. Same goes when I feel the boredom to level up my RPG character. I'll munch some Pringles crispy chips to give me loads and loads of "Krrunch" to perk me up.
Thanks to Pringles crispy chips, now "It's Krrunch time, get playful!"
