The Jiterbug Phone....

Will you swap your normal cell phone for one that's so simple even a senior citizen can use it? It's called the Jiterbug Phone, created by Marty Cooper creator of the very first portable cellular 800 MHz, and a massive 2.5 lb phone.

On April 3, 1973, standing on Sixth Avenue in New York City near the New York Hilton hotel, Cooper made a phone call from a Motorola prototype Dyna-Tac handheld cellular phone before going to a press conference upstairs in the hotel.

The phone connected Cooper with the base station on across the street from the hotel and into the AT&T land-line telephone system.

Cooper said that the mobile/cellular phones nowadays are so complicated that the instruction manual is often thicker, and heavier than the phone itself....

The Jiterbug have a should i say back to the basics of the past features, and would you believe it even have a dial tone....! How cool is that for a mobile phone....! A Retromodern Phone.... =)

New Year's Eve! 2011 Midnight Fireworks @ Darling Harbour Sydney, Austra...

Happy New Year to all....! =D

New Year's Resolutions....

Now that we have finished thinking about christmas, probably it's about time to think about new year's resolution naman or shall i say new year's resolution(s) dahil madami di ba.... This is the right time to look back and think about all those bad habbits and spoils that we have given to ourselves for the whole 2010.... Nakakabuti ba ang mga to o nakakasama, ano sa palagay nyo?

But not all spoils are bad naman syempre, yung iba ay part lang ng paraan natin para mai-motivate ang mga sarili natin just to keep us going sa kung ano-ano man na mga raket na kailangan nating i-motivate like career halimbawa, relationships, education, or daily life itself.... In moderations naman all these spoils are still cosidered healthy according to my opinion lang yan ha....

Most of those that we are suppose to quit " REALLY BADLY " like smoking and drinking or worse drug addiction have a long term effects in our system, and our family, and other people around us kaya mas maaga mas makakabuti.... Kaya kung isang pares lang na medyas paulit-ulit mo sinusuot for the whole week for the intire year, this is the right time to cosider buying another pair.... Pwede naman siguro instalment basis ang pagbayad sa bombay nyan tsong.... Kung ayaw mo maniwala sa kin, subukan mo idikit listahan mo ng mga new year resolutions sa refrigerator mamaya at garantisado kinabukasan may ilang dagdag na dyan.... MADYIK....! Happy New Year everyone....! =D

Wanted....

An unidentified man was breaking into peoples houses last night. The man was described by children that was woken up by his loud jolly laughter as, wearing a big red suit trimmed with white wool around his neck and down to his belly, then around his waist.

On the top of his suit, there's a belt in the loop holes. His belt is black and the buckle is gold. His pants are also red, with white wool around the ankles. He wears black boots, gloves, and a red cap that is a floppy cone, topped off with a white wool pompom. His hair is all grey also his long beard and mustache....

A homeless man added that the said man appears to be angry when he've mistaken him for the Grinch, a fictional character that looks like an untrimmed christmas tree on stilt.... Authorities have adviced everyone to stay calm and not to worry because the unidentified man was said to be harmless but eats a lot of cookies and drinks a lot of hot chocolates....

Authorities further adviced everyone that if you happen to have a close brush with this man, don't panic, just pretend that you're a reindeer and you will get a pat on the head and a handful of yummy sugar cubes in your mouth.... =)

Seafood marathon downunder....

I was planning to buy some prawns for the noche buena tonight but the queue was so horribly long.... So i've ended up making teriyaki chicken instead....

Shopping centres are in the middle of a marathon trading session, with stores staying open overnight and until 5.30pm today.

Shoppers at the fish markets will buy a staggering 83kg/min of prawns, 93kg/min of fish and almost 1000 oysters/min during today's traditional rush.

Ganyan po kasi ka-popular ang seafood dito sa Downunder specially during christmas season.... And as for my teriyaki chicken naman, it's absolutely delicious.... Better than any fish or prawns.... I think i've made the right decision going to the butcher rather than the seafood market today.... I'll just have that elusive prawns for the new year's eve.... Merry Christmas all....=D

Tomorrow....

Our company's christmas party will be at Ice Cube at Darling Harbour tomorrow.... It's right next to IMAX Studio so pwede din pala kami manood ng palabas pagkatapos....

I'm excited to try all the menus on offer but i'm just a little worried about my stomach because i'm always having problem with my digestion.... I'd better prepare a few handful of Antacid tablets tonight, buti na yung maagap tayo at baka magkalat pa ako dun bukas.... =)

Bilby....

Australia is a land of strange flora and fauna, yan ang unang napansin ko pagka-apak pa lang na pagka-apak ng mga paa ko dito.... Madami stuff toys nakasabit sa Duty Free he he.... And some of those are endangered like this cute and cuddly looking Bilby for example....

Hindi po bilbil iba naman yun hindi cute yun.... Bill-bee.... yun tamang pagbigkas nun....

Lam mo halatang nanood ka na naman ng documentary programs kanina Peng....

Para syang cross between Rabbit, Rat, and a Kangaroo ano nakakatuwa.... The bilby is a marsupial mammal which belongs to the bandicoot family and is about the size of a rabbit.

They have large ears, a silky light bluish-grey and white coat, and a long, black and white crested tail. Bilbies have a long pointed snout and a well-developed sense of smell to help them find food like makdo halimbawa....

Like all marsupials, the female bilbies have a pouch in which they carry their babies. Like the Australian koala, bilbies get most of their water from the food they eat.

The bilby populations are now isolated and scattered which means they are susceptible to ecological changes and are vulnerable to natural disasters such as disease and fire.

The bilbies in Queensland are now the most threatened and genetically distinct population in Australia, with only 600-700 specimens left in the wild.

Luckily salamat sa human interventions ang cute na Bilby po ay makikita pa ng mga future generations natin.... Example lang na civilized na tayo nung time ng mga Dinosaurs with all the moral and intellectual advancements etc., ano kayang klaseng mga interventions naman pwede nating gawin just to save them from extinction, hindi kaya tayo ang na-extinct at ginawang tsibog ng mga yun....?

Ano naman kaya kung sakali ang naging roles nila dito sa present time natin ngayon....? Hmmmm.... esep esep.... Alam mo Peng ala ka imagination talaga! Hindi ka ba nakapanood ng Flintstone....? Yan lang po.... =D
