Goodbye Snaptu!

It was reported that Snaptu (a Facebook app for feature phones) is closing down effectively on December 26. As written on the Snaptu Blog, it said: On Dec 26th we will be closing the Snaptu service. We’ve put a lot of hard work and exercised great focus in order to build Snaptu. To do something really well one has to focus, and now that we’re part of Facebook we are doing just that – we are focusing on Facebook for Every Phone. Facebook for Every Phone is still in its early stages and there’s much more to do. Our goal is to build an amazing app, one that doesn’t require a fancy phone, but will still provide millions of people around the world with great new ways to connect and interact with their friends. We hope that you enjoyed Snaptu and we thank you again for your support. Just last month, Snaptu also discontined support for Twitter, Crcinfo and LinkedIn (source: webpronews)

If we had happy endings, we'd all be under gravestones now."    ―Rosalie to Bella Swan Rosalie was transformed into a vampire by Carlisle Cullen. And became an integral member of the Cullen family and fights eagerly against those who threaten them. So what is Rosalie Hale doing in my blog? Because I attended a Christmas get together wherein we have to impersonate movie characters. I chose Rosalie because her costume is too simple. A black dress and gray cardigan. That's very basic that we can found it on our closets. For the make up, the shades were too light and perfectly match with the outfit. Too bad that I couldn't find a replica necklace, but its okay I have to wear black nail polish (hahaha). I didn't dye my hair but I bought a washable hair color. And that was awesome. That was my first time to attend a costume party celebration, and it was really fun s

Christmas Party Hangover: What to do?

Image
Yes, it's party time! Having fun may leave into a hangover. Christmas get-togethers are endless, and unavoidable. What to do if you got invited and how to avoid christmas party hangover specially when you are at work? 1. Know the standards and behavior inside the venue. Sounds too strict but being informed and get updated on the details is important. 2. Don't get yourself drunk if you don't know how to transport yourself home safely. 3. Act responsibility on the things you do. Yes, making joke and fun is okay but make sure you are responsible for what you are saying. 4.

It is a dream come true for me to meet the real-reel life husband and wife Ryan Agoncillo and Judy Ann Santos at the Bloggers Conference for the movie, My Househusband: Ikaw Na which is the official entry of Octo Arts for 2011 MMFF. Judy Ann is Mia who is married to Rod (Ryan), a family story of balancing their careers and raising their kids.

Also starring in this film is Eugene Domingo (which we all know also starred in different MMFF entries), Aida (Eugene) plays Rod and Mia's neighbor and a mistress who lives next door and eventuall end up as Rod's BFF. According to Eugene, it finds very refreshing to portray such kind of role that will bring the film neither over the top nor subdued but 'just right.'
