Facebook has been the favorite social platform of many. It connects people from different parts of the world. Heck, I found my elementary classmates in facebook. I even found someone back then whom I always have a crush on my kindergarten days whom I want to know what or where she is already or how is doing.

But these could go end cause there could be someone who will get into the social media game – Google. Yep, according to some news, Google has plans to compete with Facebook and they will call it Google Me.

Kevin Rose, of Digg fame, got the speculation rolling Sunday with a tweet that Google was working on a social service called Google Me that would compete with Facebook, perhaps Google’s biggest rival for attention on the Internet. On Tuesday, former Facebook executive and Quora founder Adam D’Angelo took things a little further by declaring on Quora that “this is not a rumor. This is a real project. There are a large number of people working on it. I am completely confident about this.” [CNet]

Now, I am psyched! I have to check this out when it will be online. I’ve been looking for other great place after Facebook disappointed me on their new image quality format (which looks really crap). I just hope Google Me will deliver this great. Besides, the photos they have in picasaweb is great. And maybe they will link Google Me and PicasaWeb. Now that’s spectacular!

So, are you still staying with Facebook after Google launches Me?

P.S. It looks like Google Me has a movie too which probably could give you an idea how Google plans to do or something like an idea where Google is going with this social media war. But…isn’t facebook has a movie too?

Competition is everywhere. Whether in sports, entertainment, or work, laging may kasamang competition. Hindi siguro natin maiiwasan ang magkaroon ng ganyan. Lalo na kung ang isa ay hayok sa ganyang scenario. Where that individual acts that there’s no tomorrow and everything he [or she] does must be on his [or her] advantage. Dahil siguro parang mamatay na siya kung lilipas ang isang araw na hindi niya maramdaman sa sarili niya na nangunguna siya sa lahat ng bagay.

Is competition good or bad? Well, I say both. That’s the two edge of the blade.

The first edge brings fruitful results. This brings to what you can call a win-win situation. Where each individual gains. Where each party felt good in the end. Neither felt down nor felt minuscule on their abilities or skills. This should be the ideal edge an individual should aim. Unless that individual is too damn proud and despicably self-centered and opted the other side of the blade.

The other edge breeds crap, individualism, egoistic kind of individual. A kind of individual where everyone should listen to what he [or she] says. Where everything that comes out from him [or her] is gold. Where he [or she] feels the need to get to the top in any way possible – even it means to put someone else down to being a piece of crap.

Wala naman talaga masama makipag-compete eh. Just make sure na isinasaalang-alang mo din ang tingin o nararamdaman ng iba. Na alam mong hindi sa lahat ng panahon tama ka. Na hindi lahat ng ginagawa mo ay ang nararapat gawin. Na hindi lang ikaw ang tao sa mundo. Na hindi ka Presidente na lahat ng sasabihin mo ay tama at naayon na dapat sundin ng nakararami. Na may ibang tao din na may opinion. Na hindi sa lahat ng larangan magaling ka. Na hindi lahat ng ideya ay nadiskubre mo at lahat ng ginawa o ginagawa mo ay galing sa sarili mong kukote.

Each and everyone is different. Yes, I know. But does that mean that we have to compete with each and everyone just to have a place in this freakin’ society? Do we need to let everyone know na saksakan ka ng galing? Na sukdulan ka ng kaalaman? Is it hard for you not to compete? Is it hard to accept that there are some things that you don’t know and you need others to help you? Is it impossible to accept that someone else’s idea is much better that what you have taught? Is it that hard to give or share ideas [or what you know] to someone else and don’t think of your advantage for a while?

I am not saying I am exempted to everything I am saying here. I am very open din naman kung sasabihin mo sa akin kung isa sa mga iyan ay ginawa o ginagawa ko o kaya naman hindi ko nagagawa. That I am willing to look back my actions and correct it if necessary. Wala naman kasi akong pakialam sa pakikipagpataasan eh. The important thing is, I am doing what I am suppose to do and be good at it with or without the approval of someone else. I am willing and not afraid to share what I know and be blunt to tell you what I don’t know.

Why don’t we get along and just have the good edge of the blade? Why don’t we set aside how we look good in the eyes of someone else and rather concentrate how can we be excellent in what we do. Why don’t we compete in a way that we all benefit from it? Besides, we are in the same environment and want the same goal are we not?

There are two kinds of people: Those who do the work and those who take the credit. Try to be in the first group because there is less competition there. -Indira Gandhi

WOW! Now, that’s a high-end techie device! (The pico projector got me). Blaze will be released this August. Oh, and by the way, this is for developers only. So, to all developers out there, this device is for you so start breaking a lot of piggy banks you’ve been hiding.

What do you think of this device? Hit the comments.

(Hmmm…I wonder how many will I break?)

[SlashGear]

In fact, the encryption is so amazing that even FBI – yep, FBI of the United States – can’t break the encryption even they took years to do so.

The FBI has admitted defeat in attempts to break the open source encryption used to secure hard drives seized by Brazilian police during a 2008 investigation.

The Bureau had been called in by the Brazilian authorities after the country’s own National Institute of Criminology (INC) had been unable to crack the passphrases used to secure the drives by suspect banker, Daniel Dantas.

Brazilian reports state that two programs were used to encrypt the drives, one of which was the popular and widely-used free open source program TrueCrypt. Experts in both countries apparently spent months trying to discover the passphrases using a dictionary attack, a technique that involves trying out large numbers of possible character combinations until the correct sequence is found.

Now, I’m definitely keep using TrueCrypt!

More of the story in Techworld.com – FBI hackers fail to crack TrueCrypt.

Well, for some time I am using the lastpass extension from lastpass.com and for quite some time, I am loving it. The first thing I wanted to know is how secure is it? How safe my passwords to them? Well, I did some checking and a bit of research, as well as reading some user reviews and some forum discussions. Then I came to a decision to go and try it.

Here are some of the major things I found and love which I look for on a password manager:

Cross-platform

Lastpass is cross-platform. Meaning you can use it on different browsers. Whether you are using IE, Firefox, Opera, Chrome, Safari, etc, they have it for you. Heck, they even have some mobile apps for the iPhone and blackberry.

Ease of Use

Lastpass is very easy to use. You just need to fill out the necessary username/password of your account and it automatically fill in or login to the page. They even have some sort of auto fill in for forms like what Roboform does.

They also have a portable app called Lastpass pocket, where just like keepass, you can download your encrypted password database and view your passwords even though you don’t have any internet.

You can also import from a wide variety of password manager which some of them are firefox password manager, keepass, one password, and many more.

Moreover, they also have password generator, too. Cool!

Security

This is the feature I am very sensitive of. Well, you’re talking about your passwords. Your key to all your gates through your online life. So this is very crucial.

I spent many times reading some topics in forums regarding lastpass and from what I found is that it looks like lastpass doesn’t keep your passwords or any information about your sensitive data. What they do is that when you enter your desired master password they will hash it along with your username with an AES-256 encryption and they do it locally. They don’t do it in their end. So, what they only get is gibberish random characters so even lastpass developers don’t know what is your username and password is. Now that, I think, is secure.

So, that’s it. My quick review about lastpass. And from some time that I am using it, it looks like I will be staying with this one (sorry keepass).

How about you? What’s your password manager? Why don’t you try this one? This, I recommend.

Update:

The great security guru – Steve Gibson – from grc.com, did a full review on lastpass. And from his review, it seems he trusts lastpass. Now knowing how Steve is with security, I guess I am really staying with lastpass and if I have some money I’ll get the $1/month premium ‘coz I think is very reasonable.

Here’s the transcript from Steve’s website about his review.

The new version of the well know browser, for its high quality both in security and customization, looks cool and even more snappier from previous versions. Below are some of my first impression on the new version.

Looks thinner and added new UI features

I am fond of minimalist designs so as soon as I saw the new UI firefox 4, I was amazed with how it looked. Although it still has the same components – menu bar, tabs, navigation buttons, address bar, and the search bar, the new look is stunning. I like how they made it thinner to get more screen space.

And on to that note of getting more screen space, it looks like the firefox team puts a new way of displaying the menu. After you get the menu bar removed, you will see a new Firefox bar at the left most part of the tab bar and there you can access the menu. Also, aside from this, you will get a bookmark button right beside the search bar which I think is cool. And the pie looking thing beside the web page name is new as well.

Another thing I noticed on the new UI, is that you can now re-size any textbox to your desired size just by dragging while holding your left mouse button. This I believe is new compared to previous versions of firefox. Well, I am not surprised with this feat since I first saw this used in Chrome but this is new to firefox.

Speed

Well I didn’t ran any speed test with this new version of firefox but it just feels faster. Loading of web pages loads much faster which I am only seeing in Chrome. But, hey, I am not saying it is faster than chrome. Unless someone runs a speed test and shows me that this new version of firefox is faster than Chrome, I am still putting my money on Chrome when we are talking about speed.

Well, that’s my first impression about firefox 4 and it looks promising. Probably, I will get back to firefox but not now I guess. I still like the speed and minimalist look of Chrome.

Issues

Issues I found so far is sudden  loss of my cursor and some buttons un-clickable. I have to refresh the page or close the whole browser to get it back. Aside from this, so far so good.

So, what do you think about the new Firefox 4?

Oh well, I just have to remember them all and find the fire within me to blog them all.

Since I was little, every birthday namin, my Father sees to it na may handa kami. Kahit konti basta may handa. Konting pansit, tinapay, isang litrong coke, cake, at ice cream. Tama na iyan para sa akin. But as years passed by, sometimes it gets you. You will feel the “is-there-anything-different” feeling because you used to experience this in a long time. So, I guess something different would not hurt.

I am not saying kailangan engrande ang handaan. Kailangan magarbo. Kailangan madami ipapakain o papakainin. It’s just that, I want something new. Something different. Gusto ko naman bago. I don’t know what is it. Sus, kelangan ko pa bang isipin ‘to? Ako na nga nagbi-birthday kelangan ko pang mag-isip? Hindi ba dapat relax lang? Hehe.

Since child, I haven’t received a single gift that I liked. Don’t get me wrong. I do get some gifts every birthday I had pero mabibilang lang sa daliri ang nagreregalo sa akin. How many? Two. First, my wife and second, my mother.

Again, I am not saying na dapat may regalo ako but it would be nice to have one. Naahh. I’m just kidding. Okay lang na wala. Hehe. Like Erwin once said, “That’s just a nice to have feature….”

On to the wishes. I just have simple wishes. First, I wish for good health for me and my family especially to my kids. Second, success to every endeavors I wish to achieve for me to be able to more provide for my family. Lalo na ngayon, nagsisilakihan na ang mga anak ko. My eldest will go to school soon and I have to prepare for that. And most of all, I pray for many blessings for my family.

To all who greeted me (including facebook, friendster, and other social sites, hehe), thank you for remembering my birthday!

Hmmm…next birthday, ano kaya gagawin ko?

As soon as I played the game, I instantly was overwhelmed with the storyline, gameplay, and animations. And so that was the time I started to follow the game’s franchise. From PCs, the game went to consoles such as PlayStation PS1-3. Now, they made a movie out of it.

As soon as I heard that Prince of Persia will be shown on the big screen, I was so eager to see it. You see, every gamer, whether on PC or on any console games, dreams of having one of his favorite games shown to the big screen. And I am one of them.

Click here to view the embedded video.

Last night, me and my wife saw the movie. I was so excited to watch it but after the movie ended, all I was left to say were…”Yun lang?! Hindi ko man lang naramdaman na ‘yun yung matagal ko ng nilalaro. ‘Yun lang?! Ampangit naman!”.

I was disappointed. Disappointed for the fact that the movie lacks intensity. Lacks powerful introduction voice-over. Lacks storyline. Lacks powerful fight scenes. Lacks intensive actions. And most of all, it lacks the acrobatic finesse which the game introduced. The wall climb, the wall run, the pole swinging. Though seen in some of the scenes , these weren’t shown magnificently. Kulang na kulang.

Another is the time travel when the dagger of time was pressed. Although they have artistically shown how the Prince controlled time, they haven’t shown the true power of the dagger as well as its usefulness to the Prince. They should’ve shown more action scenes using the dagger. Something like the Prince used the dagger to go back in time and save his ass after accidentally fell from the cliff. The only dagger scene I liked in the movie is when they were attacked by snakes. That’s all. Kung meron mang iba pa eh wala na sa pelikula yun. At malamang hindi na Prince of Persia pinapanood ko.

In any case, all I can say about the movie is just OK. Not a WOW! Not even a “astig-uulitin-ko-ulit-panonoorin-ito” kind of feeling.

So, is it a must see in a big screen or not? I must say, it’s NOT.  I don’t mind just watching this in a small screen. ‘Coz it’s just not that good. Probably because it’s a Disney movie? I don’t know. Basta ako…hindi ako na-satisfy.

Our main destination is Candijay, Bohol. My wife’s birthplace. Luckily, fiesta sa kanila. Kaya naman madaming baboy ang gustong atakihin sa puso para hindi sila ma-litson. Madaming mga tao. Sobrang busy sa pagluluto ng handa. Madaming ginagawa. Madaming preparasyon.

Nanghuli pa nga kami ng tulia, crabs, at marami pang sea shells para may mabaon at makain kami sa pag-gagala.

The next day, since we arrived, we started to visit places. Here goes…

Candijay, Bohol

The name of the town is said to have come from the words “Kang Dihay” meaning belonging to Dihay, a strong man with many followers. The name was eventually changed to Candijay and was organized during the Spanish regime and was then one of the 34 towns in the province in 1879 with a population of 5,030.

The main transportation here is called “habal-habal”. It is basically a motorcycle where 2-4 person rides on it. The fare per trip is Php 20 per person. Aside from habal-habal, there are also some buses, jeeps, and GT Express vans. Jeeps here are jam packed. Parang lahat ng parte ng jeep sinasakyan. Kung pwede lang sakyan ang gulong sasakyan nila.

People here live simple. Rice fields are everywhere. Most of the households have pig pens. Animals such as cows, carabaos, chicken, birds, cats, dogs, and others roam freely. You can easily catch crabs and different kinds of sea shells for food.

There are a lot of trees on every backyard. Kaya naman kahit mainit ang panahon masarap humiga sa papag para magpahangin. Madami ding palayan, palaisdaan, sagingan at iba’t ibang taniman.

Below are some of the shots taken around the town.

Basdako Beach

From the Visayan words “Bas” which means Sand and “Dako” which means Huge or Wide, this vast white sand beach is spectacular. The awesome waters will capture your eyes by its bluish colors. Located at Anda, Bohol, this is one of the best beaches you could visit in Bohol. Konti lang ang tao kaya naman maganda at hindi magulo. Of course you’ll pay for a fee of Php 170 for the shed. Probably they’ll use this for maintenance of the place. Anyway, we had lechon, bopis, dinuguan, suman, steamed crabs, shrimps, and rice.

Below are some of the photos taken.

Chocolate Hills

Concentrated near the town of Carmen, the Chocolate Hills is one of the famous spot every tourist in Bohol visits. There are different interesting facts that surrounds this wonderful landform which will leave you saying “Aha!”.

Entymology

The Chocolate Hills was previously named “Carmen Hills”, well, it is because most of the hills are found in the town of Carmen. According to the Boholanos, the name Chocolate Hills was given when a foreign Liuetenant soldier visits the town in summer. The hills are covered with grass which easily turns to a brownish color during summer. When he saw the hills, he said, “Oh! The hills looks like Hershey’s Kisses Chocolates”.  Thus, the name Chocolate Hills.

Legends

During the trip, our driver, Dante, said that different legends has been told about these magnificent hills. One of this is about two giants that engaged into war with each other. They threw rocks, boulders, and sand at each other. The fight lasted for days until they both were exhausted and decided to be friends. They forgot about the mess they made and soon these became the hills.

Another legend is about a giant named Agor who fell in love with a woman named Aluwa. One day Agor learned that Aluwa is getting married with someone else so he kidnapped Aluwa. Agor imprisoned Aluwa in a cave but she died. Because of her death, he felt sorry and started to cry. He cried more than 1,000 times. His tears fall into the ground and soon became the hills. Today, there are exactly 1,240 hills.

There are other legends that were passed through generations but these two are the famous ones.

Facts

According to wikipedia:

The Chocolate Hills consist of conical karst hills, called mogote, created by a combination of the dissolution of limestones by rainfall, surface water, and groundwater and their subaerial erosion by rivers and streams after they had been uplifted above sea level and fractured by tectonic processes. These hills are separated by well developed flat plains and contain numerous caves and springs. The Chocolate Hills are considered to be a remarkable example of conical karst topography.The origin for the conical karst of the Chocolate Hills is described in popular terms on the bronze plaque at the viewing deck in Carmen, Bohol. This plaque states that they are eroded formations of a type of marine limestone that sits on top of hardened clay. The plaque reads:

The unique land form known as the Chocolate Hills of Bohol was formed ages ago by the uplift of coral deposits and the action of rain water and erosion.

The plaque also makes reference to a fanciful explanation of the origin of the Chocolate Hills that is unsupported by any published scientific research, i.e. either Hillmer or Travaglia and others, when it states:

the grassy hills were once coral reefs that erupted from the sea in a massive geologic shift. Wind and water put on the finishing touches over hundreds of thousands of years.

Below are some of the photos taken during our visit at Chocolate Hills.

Danao Extreme Adventure Park

If you are the one of those who yearn for a shot of adrenaline, this is the best place in Bohol you should visit. Known for activities such as Rappel, Plunge, Suislide, Wall Climbing, and many extreme activities, you’ll definitely get all the adrenaline you want.

We tried the Suislide wherein you’ll be strapped and slide through a zip line across the cliff. According to E.A.T. Danao website:

Suislide is basically a zip-line consisting of a pulley suspended on a cable mounted on an incline cliff. The Suislide has two lines, going forth and back. Its starting point is parallel to the Sky Ride and Plunge’s height.
Suislide is the local version for zipline, a sky ride or a slide for life. Sui-slide is coined from the word, “Suis“ (the sound of the cable ride once you get to slide) and “slide”. It could also mean for some who is so much petrified with heights to be a suicidal slide. It traverses around half a kilometer from one mountain to another, taking you to less than a minute exhilarating ride…

Working load is 5 tons. It can slide a maximum of 200 pax in a day.

Below are some of the photos we took.

And here’s a video I got for our Suislide experience.

Tarsiers and Loboc River

Approximately 30-45 minutes away from Chocolate Hills, this next destination is the home of tarsiers and is where the movie Panaghoy sa Suba was shot. According to Wikipedia:

Tarsiers are small animals with enormous eyes; each eyeball is approximately 16 mm in diameter and is as large as their entire brain. Tarsiers also have very long hind limbs. In fact, their feet have extremely elongated tarsus bones, from which the animals get their name. The head and body range from 10 to 15 cm in length, but the hind limbs are about twice this long (including the feet), and they also have a slender tail from 20 to 25 cm long. Their fingers are also elongated, with the third finger being about the same length as the upper arm. Most of the digits have nails, but the second and third toes of the hind feet bear claws instead, which are used for grooming. Tarsiers have very soft, velvety fur, which is generally buff, beige, or ochre in color.

We had fun looking at the tarsier. It’s amazing to look at its eyes. Yun lang medyo nakakaawa. Kasi lagi siyang night shift tapos may mga turista siya sa umaga para gisingin siya para makita ang mga mata niya.

In the town of Loboc, the Loboc river is known for its wonderful and rich marsh life. According to bohol-philippines.com:

The Loboc River is located in the Municipality of Loboc, a mere 24 kilometers away from Tagbilaran City, the winding river plays host to cruisers on board small bancas or floating restaurants. Visitors are treated to a vista of lush tropical vegetation such as nipa palms, coconut trees, banana groves, and bushes.

A cruise along the river starts either from the Loay Bridge (a neighboring town) or at the town’s Poblacion. The Loay Bridge is 20 kilometers from Tagbilaran City while the Poblacion is about 25 kilometers away. Small motorized bancas can be availed of for a minimal fee yet for those who want to eat while cruising, floating restaurants are available offering Filipino cuisine buffet that costs P400 per head or more and local delicacies.

Below are some of the photos we took during this trip. I apologize for the grainy quality of the photos here since I have set the camera to 1600 ISO because I can’t use the flash to take the tarsier’s photo. Bawal daw kasi.

Side Trips

During our trip, we did some side trips that aren’t included in our itinerary but it made a worthwhile visit.

Butterfly Farm

According to boholboard.com:

The Butterfly Farm is an enclosure that house many colorful butterflies that will please you to the nines. It is also such a wonderful thing that getting inside the butterfly haven costs less than USD1, which means all the fun is yours for such a minute sum of money.

After enjoying the company of butterflies, you can get out of the Butterfly Farm and explore the world around.

Here are some of the shots we took.

Man Made Forest

According to bohol-philippines.com:

The Bohol Forest is a man-made mahogany forest stretching in a two-kilometer stretch of densely planted Mahogany trees located in the border of Loboc and Bilar towns. Before and after this man-made forest are the naturally grown forests of Loboc and Bilar which are thick with a kaleidoscope of green foliage, different species of trees and giant ferns lining the road.

The man-made forest stands out because of the uniformity in height of the big trees, the spread of its branches, thickness and design of leaves. Seedlings abound around the older trees. Trunks, some thick and others just a few months old, grow resplendently straight up towards the sky which is obscured by the branches and the thick leaves.

When you enter the forest, one will feel the abrupt change in temperature, especially during summer or hot season. It is hot outside the forested area, but once under the overhanging trees, one is refreshed by the cool breeze. This mountain area seldom sees the sun shine and most often than not, it rains here. Local folks attribute these to the presence of the dense forest.

Below are some of the shots we took.

Canawa Spring

One of the places I felt afraid of is the Canawa Spring located (of course) in Barangay Canawa in Candijay, Bohol. I felt afraid not because of an eerie feeling but because the water is too deep and I can’t swim (Haha!). The spring is said to be endless. Many foreign divers tried to reach the bottom but failed. People near the spring told us that many have drowned but no bodies floated. Despite of this, many of the locals goes here and swim. Some climbs the top and plunge to the spring’s cold and crystal clear water.

Below are some of the shots we took.

So, there you go. Our Bohol tour.

Total Pocket Damage: Php 6,000/person (all included)
