Honestly speaking, I'm not fond of gadgets of whatever type: mobile phones, ipods, laptops,etc. despite the fact that people these days can't leave without gadget. While people are fascinated with android phones and IPhones, I am still using my old-fashioned Nokia unit with 0.3 megapixel camera and about 6 MB of internal storage. While people are wishing for MacBook or laptop running Window 7 in Intel iSeries of processor, I am still using my bulky dell inspiron pentium 4 laptop (and almost obsolete dual-core processor desktop pc). I'm not sharing this for the sake of getting pity from my readers, hoping that they will give me the latest of these gadgets (just kidding). I'm sharing this as a justification of how dumb I am when it comes to technology.
Well, apart from lacking interest of gadgets, money is also a factor. I'm not that rich-type brat who asks my parents to buy me the latest phone. I don't have that much during my school days. But now is a different story since I already have a job; and because of this job, my preferences as far as technology is concerned also changed a bit - especially in mobile phones.
We have some discussions with my friends on different android phones released by Samsung. Samsung by the way produces state-of-the-art smartphones ar a very affordable price. I'm also interested to buy and try these android phones, but I'm having a hard time deciding which one to choose. Listed below are the cheap smartphones from Samsung that are included in my list of choices.
Samsung Galaxy I5500 (Samsung Galaxy 5)

The thing I liked about this smartphone is its black-colored design. As for the specs, there's nothing spectacular. Just click the image to see full specifications. The price of Galaxy 5 is currently 7,900 PHP at Tekpone Gadgets.
Samsung Galaxy Mini S5570 (Samsung Galaxy Mini)

Except for the design, there hasn't much of a difference between Galaxy Mini and Galaxy 5. See comparison of both smartphones here. My friends and I criticized the design of this phone especially the yellow green lining at the corner. It's seems that it isn't the right combination for us. As for the specs, it's a great deal for the price of 6,999 PHP at Tekpone Gadgets.
Samsung Galaxy Fit S5670 (Samsung Galaxy Fit)
This smartphone looks like the Android Phone version of Samsung Corby 2. It is also a bit more expensive than the previous 2 android phone, with current price from Tekpone Gadgets at 9,990 PHP - still part of our list of to buy gadgets.

the true meaning of advent
Today is Sunday, November 27, 2011. This Sunday however, is not just an ordinary church day for our Catholic brothers and sisters; it is the start of one of the most important seasons for us catholics - it is the beginning of the advent season - the preparation for the coming of our savior Jesus Christ.
Brief History of Advent
The word Advent came from a Latin word adventus, meaning "coming", the coming for our savior Jesus Christ. It is the time of spiritually preparing while waiting for the celebration of the Nativity of Jesus at Christmas . Advent season lasts for four Sundays, with the last Sunday of advent ends at the last Sunday before Christmas Day.
The True Meaning of Symbol of Advent
The main focus of the the entire season of advent is for us to spiritually prepare ourselves for the "coming" of our messiah or king Jesus Christ. Advent is more than just a 2000 years of Catholic history, it is about celebrating the truth about God, the revelation of God in Christ, whereby all of God's creation must be reconciled to God. Advent also symbolizes the spiritual journey of a person, as well as a congregation that Christ has come, He is in the world today, and He will come again in power and glory.
This season is also marked by a great spirit of expectation, anticipation, preparation, and longing of the coming of Jesus Christ. You can read one nice article about the true meaning of advent here and here.
The Advent Wreath
The very symbol of the season of advent observed by the catholic church is the advent wreath. Advent wreath or advent crown symbolizes the passage of the four weeks of advent. Advent wreath is a circular garland usually made from evergreen branches. One the wreath stands four candles: three purple candles and one pink candles lit every Sunday of advent. The wreath itself and the four candles in it bears unique and relevant symbolism in our life as a christian.
The evergreen leaves surrounding the advent wreath symbolizes eternity.
On the first Sunday of Advent, the first purple candle will be lit. This purple candle is called the "Prophecy Candle" as a remembrance of the prophets, primarily prophet Isaiah, who foretold the birth of Jesus Christ in scriptures. Lighting the candle also symbolizes hope and expectation in the coming of the Messiah.
On the second Sunday of Advent, the second purple candle will be lit (together with the first purple candle). Traditionally, the second purple candle is called the "Bethlehem Candle", symbolizing infant Christ's manger - the place where he was born. Lighting the second candle symbolizes love.
On the third Sunday of Advent, the lone rose-colored or pink candle will be lit (together with the first and second purple candles). This pink candle is also called the "Shepherd's Candle", and it represents joy.
On the fourth and last Sunday of Advent, the last purple candle will be lit (together with the other three candles). The last purple candle is also called the "Angel's Candle", representing peace.
Other versions of advent wreath includes a white candle on the center of the wreath, lit on Christmas eve. This white candle on the center will be lit on Christmas eve, together with the four advent candles. This white candle is called the "Christ's Candle", representing the life of Jesus Christ that has come to the world. The white color represents purity as Jesus Christ is sinless and spotless - the only qualification of a Pure Savior.
Making your own advent wreath in your homes is a good way to bring advent's true meaning within your households. Of course together with spiritual preparations such as deep prayers, doing good deeds and following the words of God, you will be having the most meaningful Christmas in your life.
It has become a family tradition for us to make our own advent wreath inside our house, placing it in our altar. We've been doing this for 4 years now, and here's a sample of our own advent wreath last year.

Controversial "Photoshopped Photo" of DPWH Personnel In-Action After Manila Bay Storm Surge
One of my friends shared the controversial photo of the DPWH personnel in-action after the storm surge at the Manila Bay caused by typhoon Pedring. I haven't watched the picture when it was shown in local news program on t.v., luckily my friend shared the picture to me, to ease my curiosity. It doesn't need to be a photographer or a photoshop expert to determine if this pic was genuine or not. It's a clear FAKE, PHOTOSHOPPED image.

The Name of the Months

trivia
Ever curious where the name of the months in the calendar came from? Who named them and what are the meaning of their names? Today’s trivia features a brief history of the current calendar we are using and the meaning of the 12 months the calendar has.
Early Romans had 10 months in their calendar and those were:
- Martius or March
- Aprilis or April
- Maius or May
- Junius or June
- Quintilis or July
- Sextilis or August
- September
- October
- November
- December
The year started in the month of Martius or March until in 700 B.C where Numa Pompilius, the 2nd king of Rome added the months Januarius or January and Februarius or February and eventually changed the starting month from Martius to Januarius. Numa Pompilius also created some months to have odd number of days for it signifies luck. After the month of februarius, there was an occasionally added month called the Intercalaris or Intercalendar. This was the origin of what we knew today as the leap-year that occurs every 4 years in February.
It was in 46 B.C when Julius Caesar changed the Roman calendar (the Julian calendar) by changing the number of days on some months and removing Intercalaris. Also the name of each month and its arrangement remains unchanged until this modern time.
Majority of the names of months came from Roman Gods and Goddess while some are from the order in which they appear in the calendar. Below are the names of the month and its corresponding meaning.
- January - named after Janus, the Roman God of gates or doorways or the beginnings and endings. Janus was depicted with two faces facing in two opposite directions.
Originally, January has 29 days until Julius Caesar changed it to 31 days.
- February– named after the festivals of purification which was celebrated in this month in Rome.
February has 28 days until in 450 B.C when it only has 23 days or 24 for every second month. Julius Caesar changed it to 28 days or 29 days every 4 years.
- March– after Mars, the Roman God of War. The original start of the year for Romans, and the time for the resumption of war.
March always has 31 days.
- April – from the word Aperire which means to open for as the buds starts to open on this month.
Originally has 30 days until Numa changes it to 29 days. Julius Caesar changes it to 30 days.
- May – named after Maia (the great one), the Italic Goddess of Spring, the daughter of Faunus, and wife of Vulcan. Other sources claimed it was named after Maiesta, the Roman Goddess of honor and revenge.
Always had 31 days
- June – after Juno, the goddess of marriage and well-being of women. Maybe that’s why lots of couple wanted to have their wedding on this month.
June has 30 days until Numa when it has 29 days. Julius Caesar changed it to 30 days.
- July – or quintilis or “fifth month”. Named after Julius Caesar in honor of the month when he was born.
Always had 31 days
- August – or sextilis or “sixth month” named after the 1st emperor of Rome, Augustus Caesar for several fortunate events in his life came in this month).
Originally has 30 days until Numa when it had 29 days. Julius Caesar changed it to 31 days.
- September – after septem or “seven” for it is the 7th month before the first 2 months were added in the calendar.
Originally has 30 days. Numa changed it to 29 days. Julius Caesar later changed it to 30 days.
- October – named after octo or “eight” for it is the 8th month before the first 2 months were added in the calendar.
Always has 31 days.
- November – after novem or “nine” for it is the 9th month before the first 2 months were added in the calendar.

- December – after decem or “ten” for it is the 10th month before the first 2 months were added in the calendar.

Calling the Police Secretly While Being Robbed in an ATM
I read this information from one of my Facebook friends about how to secretly call the authorities while being robbed in an ATM booth. People withdrawing from ATM are a common target by robbers, and calling for help from the outside, nor resisting is futile. This tip of calling the nearest police station secretly without letting the robbers noticed it is very timely as cases of ATM robbery here in the Philippines increases especially as Christmas season is near.
Listed below are the tips in secretly calling the police while being robbed in an ATM booth:
When a thief forced you to take money from the ATM, do not argue or resist, you might not know what he or
she might do to you. What you should do is to punch your PIN in the reverse...
Eg: If your PIN is 1234, you punch 4321.
The moment you punch in the reverse, the money will come out, but will be stuck into the machine half way out
and it will alert the police without the notice of the thief.
Every ATM has it; It is specially made to signify danger and help. Not everyone is aware of this.

Meanwhile, Splash Data provided common but effective tips in choosing a secure, hard-to-guess passwords for your online accounts:
