How To Tweet Via Your Gmail Account

Do you have a twitter account? Well I do and I just discovered an easier way for me to send my tweets. You see I find it difficult to send my tweets before because internet in the office can be so slow at times, I cannot afford to open another window for Twitter.

Well it took me quite a while before I started to appreciate Twitter. At first I couldn’t understand what it’s for and I also find it a bit boring because I don’t have too many followers. What made me check it out every now and then are the celebrities I am following. Little by little I see that it’s a great source of instant news. You also get to know the celebrities better. So if you want to know what’s in at the moment or you want to send instant message to a celebrity then you must have a Twitter account. It’s also a great way to advertise something- though this one entails that you get many followers.

Anyway, by the time I get to appreciate Twitter, there are so many members already that I often get that overcapacity message and I can’t send any tweets. It was in the middle of my despair to that twitter message that I noticed that my officemate (who is addicted to twitter and FB) is sending tweets via gmail. Yeah she’s the one who taught me how to install Twitter gadget via gmail and I am grateful. I am now happily tweeting and since installing it have not encountered that error message yet.

So for those, who want to try it too, please check out this link for a more detailed instruction with images on how to install Twitter gadget.

Happy Tweeting!

Review of The Globe Tattoo Broadband

My husband bought me a Globe Tattoo broadband last year and since then have been using it when the need arises. You see, I don’t get to use it so often because there is always a free wireless connection in my place (yeah lucky me!) and also I find it a bit expensive and inconvenient to pay 20 pesos for 1 hour internet. I am always conscious of the time running and don’t get to accomplish much that way.

Well at first I found Globe Tattoo Broadband to be quite okay- speed is average since I am not really into downloading huge files. But I just noticed that there will be times when I would be connected but then would find it hard to open a website. To fix the error, I had to disconnect and reconnect again which would cost me 10 pesos already.

When an officemate informed that the Sun Broadband is awesome when it comes to speed, (probably because it is only available to Metro Manila residents and some parts of Cavite.) I wanted to try it and tried to have my Globe tattoo broadband unlocked but well compared to Smart Bro, it is very hard to unlock a globe sim so until now it is unlocked. I wanted a Sun broadband sim because they offer a one day unlimited internet so I am so happy when Globe starts to offer SuperSurf50 which would allow me to access 1 day of unlimited internet .

Unfortunately, the first time I tried it, it sucks. I mean, I can’t register to SuperSuf50. I tried to register all day one Saturday but all I got was a message to try again later.  

On my second attempt, I was able to register and get to enjoy speed of 3.6 mbps. I guess the trick is to register on off peak hours- around afternoon or morning I guess. But I still encountered a problem. Globe Tattoo gets so so slow around 9 pm onwards and I only get to reconnect again in the morning.

So far that’s my assessment. It’s not so satisfactory and I do hope their service would improve in time. Right now, I am still researching for ways on how to unlock it. (lol)

Alternative Love Songs

-->

As an effect to the weird craving I mentioned in my blog post before, I suddenly remember the songs that I used to listen to during my college years. I love alternative and underground music- there’s something in it that is so beautiful, maybe the fact that it is not commercialized- gives it the magic of a hidden untouched treasure.

I get to appreciate these songs because I studied in a university full of radicals and activists and my sister is a fan of alternative rock music. She used to collects the tapes of bands such as Joey Ayala, Bagong Lumad, Yano, Buklod, etc.

I also get to enjoy these music during rallies and demonstrations in UP or during history class back then. I love almost all of the songs- but I remember that this one is my favorite- it touches my young heart then because the lyrics makes me feel the love of Lea for her husband. I wish there would be more songs like this:

Another nice love song from the Album and this one quite became popular before. This song made me cry once.

Weird Craving

Must be an effect of the fact that I haven’t slept soundly in days and seem to be always running around to accomplish tasks- I suddenly remember something or more accurately someone. This is while I am trying to stay awake and alert in the middle of a busy work week.

I find myself wondering about a famous personality when I was in college- that was in UP Diliman. Out of a sudden, I wonder where that person is now and what is she currently doing. She once ran for the university council and won. She was a campus crush and I think her power lies in the fact that she is so different. You see she is a Muslim girl and she wears an abaya everywhere she goes. Her face looks like an angel and she is smart and can be funny too. She is striking but she wears no makeup at all so she looks so pure and natural. My fascination probably stems from the fact that I wanted to be like her.

I felt this urge to see her and know her whereabouts so I decided to search for her in Google only to realized that I had forgotten her name. That didn’t stop me because I tried all sorts of keywords until eventually I remember her name although there was very little info about her. Can you imagine, I almost spent one afternoon at work for that. Well I did saw her FB account but up to now she still has not confirmed me as a friend -what a snob (lol). I think she is currently working for a children’s center abroad. I also learned that she was a guest singer for an album of an alternative rock band and her voice was superb. Yes, I was able to download the song. Well the craving is really weird but I was glad that I was able to satisfy it in my own way. Besides it is also an exercise of my research skills (lol).

Glad I Saw It Too!

My husband and I are on our way home from the mall last Sunday when I noticed something different in the sky. It was a little past 6 pm and when I looked again, I saw a magnificent picture in the sky. The moon is in crescent shape and above it is a small bright star- which turned out to be Venus. The first time I saw it, I though there was a smiley face in heaven- only it lacks one dot or one eye. I excitedly pointed it out to my husband who was driving then.

In the morning at work, when I opened my pc, I saw that it was a news item in Yahoo Philippines. Many have also taken a picture and they posted it in Facebook. It’s funny because I thought I am the only one who had noticed it (how selfish of me lol). Well maybe if my husband and I did not go out that night, we would have missed it too so I am just glad that I saw it though I was not able to take a picture. That image made me smile on that beautiful night. Some speculates that is probably a sign or a symbol for something- whether a good or bad one no one can tell for now.
