Unlocking Sun Broadband MF190

     I was able to buy a Sun Cellular prepaid broadband kit more than a week ago. I was able to enjoy free unlimited internet access for 5 days. Here's their promotional poster...


     Anyways, moving on with our topic.. Since the Sun Cellular signal isn't that stable at home, I decided to find ways to unlock my broadband kit. Then tadaa! I found a site that taught how to unlock a broadband kit with the MF190 model. 



Disclaimer: I am not the creator/developer of this trick. I just found this somewhere and I thought of sharing it to you guys. It helped me unlock my sunbro, hope it can help you too.

     Here's how to unlock MF190 of ZTE Corporation:

          1. Download DC Unlocker. Click here.
          2. Remove memory card (if any) and sim card from usb stick (modem).
          3. Insert a different sim card to your modem. (e.g. I inserted Smart Buddy sim into my Sunbro)
          4. Your dashboard should display "sim card invalid" or the like.
          5. Extract and run DC Unlocker.
          6. Under "Select Manufaturer" select "ZTE datacards".
          7. Under "Select Model" leave it at "auto detect".
          8. Click the "search" button (magnifying glass).
          9. After a while when it'd seem that the program already found and recognize the device, click "Unlocking".
         10. It should display "Unlocking Successful" or something like that.
         11. Disconnect your modem then connect again.

Then dan! Your modem is now unlocked! ^^

Credits to the original owner and creator of the software! Feel free to comment. I'm not an expert but I'll try to help you guys if I can. haha XD


Muni-muni of the day

     Instead of writing this now, I should have been there together with my classmates, roaming around the STEAG plant. All of them are probably in STEAG right now. Poor me can only imagine how much fun it could have been. 

     Here I am again, left behind by everything else. But I can't do anything about it, since it was my decision in the first place. Our teacher asked me to decide what I think would be best for my condition. Before deciding, I weighed every thing that came to mind. If I go, I'll be having an amazing day; I'll be able to see first hand the amazing facilities of the plants we're supposed to visit (Pilipinas KAO and STEAG); I'll be learning new things; Best of all, I'll be experiencing all these things with my friends. But on another thought, If I go, this day would be a very tiring day for sure; There'll be a lot of walking (considering it's a PLANT TOUR), so I'll be putting my feet on the line. I was torn between having a fruitful day and having my feet relax and rest. I decided to go to the safer side. I decided not to go thinking that there'll be many more opportunities in the future where I can tour the mentioned plants, if not better.

     I'm actually sad right now, but I know that this is for my own sake. I'm not sure what could have happened to me if I went with them. Nobody can guarantee the good condition of my feet. Nobody else is there whom I can share this pain with. Literally ha. Di naman rin pwedeng idivide yung intensity ng pain sa lahat ng gustong maki-share, diba? It'll just be me at the end of the day so better think of myself in the first place na lang talaga.

     I sure hope that this will be the very last activity that I'll sacrifice. I hope that this abnormality, as it seems to me, will stop nah so I can be normal again. . . 

>.< hoping!!

===================

When we went to see a doctor last Monday, I was diagnosed to have Bursitis. As I surfed through the net I found out that the Bursitis I had was specifically known as Retrocalcaneal Bursitis.

outlet please

Warning: This post is very negative. Don't read this if you don't want to be bored and if you don't want to be caught up with very negative feelings. Furthermore, I'll be using a lot of cebuano words here to express my feelings jud so sa mga dili makasabot goodluck!

Final warning: If you're not interested in my life, then please don't read this! Ayaw pagreklamo after na wala kay nakuha after reading this post.

     Outlet lang please. Outlet lang. I can't find any other place na pwede butangan sa akong thoughts. I might delete this post once ok na ko.

     Grabe jud na kabug-at sa shoulders ang word na "expectations". Lisud kaau magminaldita if tanan tao gaexpect na dapat magbinuotan ka. Lisud kaau mutubag if ang expected sa imu kay maghilum lang while gakasab-an ka. Lisud kaau magka-sakit if ginaexpect sa imu na dapat able and well ka. Lisud kaau muhilak if ang pagtan-aw sa uban kay OA na daun kaau ka. 

     It doesn't matter if sa age gap man, sa rank, sa status, or sa unsa man ka napildi, basta kay if mas naay power ang isa ka tao over you, mag-gara na daun sila. Magsige cla ug latag sa ilang expectations. Dili man lang magcare if hoy! naunsa na ba ka? Ok ra? or wat. Then they will claim na sakto sila and if mutubag ka, lainon na daun ug sabot. Ikaw na ang mali, ana nalang. Kay wala nman ka mahimu kay somehow gadepend man ka sa ila. 

     Sa issue anang maldita2x, actually dha ko purmi gkabikil. It's like ang tanaw sa imuha ky since manghud man ka or like diha rman ka den ako kay naa dri sa taas na level, expected na dili ka masuko sa ako. In short, wla koy right masuko! But dili man, tanan man siguro jud tao masuko if murag feeling nimu sa imung self kay nabikil ka. Unahon bya jud nimu imung imung self kysa uban. That's one of our human tendencies man jud dba? HUMAN as in TAO! Tao lang ka, bisag expected na magpaka-santa ka dha sa daplin, muabot jd cguro ang time na mabikil ka. Bisag unsaon nimu pgpa-calm sa  imu self, and bisan unsaon pa nimu pagbalik2x sa imu mind na dapat mgpakamature ka so dili dapat magminaldita, if naa ka ana na situation, instinct nman cguro jud ang mugana na dapat idefend nmu imung self. Educated bya, dili pud ka musugot na naay isa ka tao na magyaw2 dha sa kilid about sa imu den sa kilid lng lugar ka and magsige ug yango2x? But if dili na nimu makaya after grabe na pugong2x and makatubag jud ka, ikaw pay mahayan kay ngtubag2x ka and gacontradict ka sa iyahang giingun. Unsa lugar ko, decoration? Dapat lang muisturya if tsada ang aq iingun? 

     Actually, makaingun man jud ko na buotan kaau ko, wla ko gpadako na mangaway. Respect jud dapat, RESPECT. As long as kaya nimu, ikeep lng sa imu self. Pro naa man jud few exemptions ana. Kung ikaw ganahan kaau ka mangasaba to the point na gusto na na nimu himuon nga hobby, dapat unta kabalo pud ka maminaw sa uban. Ang imung gakakita sa imung duha ka mata, lahi sa gakakita sa akong duha ka mata, and lahi pud sa gakakita sa mga mata sa uban!! Dili tanan imung gakakita sakto! So don't you dare say na ikaw ra ang sakto. Tanan man ta naay disappointments, tanan ta malain at some point, tanan ta masuko jud. Pro it's a matter of control, if unsaon nimu pagcontrol sa imung feelings. If imu ba xa ipagawas and let the others see how you feel. Krun if you chose na ipagawas pud nimu, wla ko mahimu ana, but wla pud kay mahimu and dili nimu macontrol unsa man ang reactions nko about sa imung gpili na way of outlet.

      Dili pud excuse na pwde ka mag-inana because dghan ka bug-at na problems gna-face. Kanang ienumerate btaw tnan imu gbuhat, na ikaw tnan ngshoulder sa mga things. Remember na tnan ta naay problems na ginaface. Lain2x man na intensity but surely tnan naa. 

     Sa issue pud aning sakit nako, which is still undetermined until now, mkamahay lang jud sometimes na murag abi sa uban na ga-iOA lang ko. Dili man tnan tao jud cguro pareho ug state sa health when born. Naay uba na healthy naay uban pud na healthy2x lang ang level but dili diai. Ay ambot, dugay rako gamahay aning tiil nako. Daghan na kau activities ang naTHANKYOU tungod ani. But guess what, kasaba pay maako tungod ani. Lisud jud kaau mgpasakit2x if ang mga tao sa imung palibot expected na dpat healthy ka ana na age. Naa may uban na super kinaon kaau ang mga junk foods, soft drinks and etc but dili jud tawon gkadutlan ug sakit, and me? Imbes gaiwas2x sa pgkadaghan na mga bawal, gasakit2 nuon. Unsa lgar dapat buhaton? Maghigdaay forever? Dextrose nlng ipatake in pirmi pra super safe ah! Dili ni ok sa ako na inani ko krun. Dli kamu ang gaatubang aning unknown na cause sa sakit, dili kamu ang mkafeel ani, dli kmu ang gkahadlok na unsa na kha ni so please gmay lng jud, please spare me. Ayaw ko ingna na wla koy care unsa mahitabo sa ako self, kung kabalo lng mu unsa ko kahadlok mkabalo unsa ni. 

     Dili ba pwede na magpakita mug concern without enumerating on my face the things I should have and shouldn't have done? Dili ba pwede mgpakita ug genuine concern without sounding like gakasuko mu na nainani ko? I am even more disappointed of myself than you guys are! Daghan ko dili gkabuhat tungod ani. Daghan na kaau ang akong disappointments because of this. Ayaw na dungagi ang akong negative vibes beh. Bcn dli na nako mahandle..

     See? Super negative jud na tnan. Wla nay halong joke. I know some would think na I wrote this pra pa-char2x, sabay sa panahon, but NO! This is what I'm feeling jud krun. Mao ni ang murag highlight sa akong week. This post is not about one person only, lain2x ni sila na mga tao, pg-iadd tnan, dako kaau ang effect sa ako. But I still believe na All will be well. Gahope pa jpun ko na ma-heal ni tnan akong ksakit krun, in God's time.

Surviving Manila: Ang mga kainan

     [February 2, 2012] As we landed in Manila, we already felt the necessity to eat somewhere. Yeah, I was already hungry back then. As I shared in my previous post [click here], we took our lunch at Kenny Rogers. But that was just the start of our "eating life" in Manila. I'll now be sharing our eating experiences in Manila! Yehey! Hopefully, I'll be able to compose a katakamtakam post. One that will make YOUR mouth watery. Ew!

Our lunch at Kenny Rogers (NAIA)
     In the afternoon, we were already at the UP Diliman Campus. We attended the welcome dinner for the provincial participants of the 5th Chemical Engineering Students Summit. We arrived at the venue at aroung 6:30pm. We just walked from The Oblation to their Engineering something Center (I'm not actually sure what the place is called), so as expected we were already starving when we arrived. And guess what, the dinner was actually served at around 8:00pm! Wualllaaaa! Pasmo much?! lol. Sa makasabot lang. Maygiiid. 



     Early the next morning, we decided to call the famous 8700 Jollibee delivery hotline and just have our breakfast be delivered. Luckily, the place where we stayed at (Dangay Suites) let us use their phone to call the said hotline. An operator answered our call and said she would just forward our orders to the Jollibee fastfood nearest to us. We ordered a total of 14 jolly breakfast with matching hot choco! Yeah! A few seconds after, we were informed by the tenant that Jollibee is on the phone waiting for us to reconfirm our orders. Oh diba, bongga!! They promised to deliver our orders in 45 minutes. Hahuh! We actually started timing them.
     Around 50 minutes after, our orders were delivered door-to-door. The Jollibee delivery boy was kind enough to take our orders to the second floor, where we are staying. He asked to be excused if there was a little delay in the delivery. The nearest Jollibee merchandise to us (I think it's in SM North Edsa) was still close and only Jollibee Araneta was open so it took him more time to deliver, he explained. 
     Without further ado, we started digging into our breakfast. Oh! And I actually enjoyed my hot choco! Oh yeah!!


     We actually skipped one summit-related activity that day (Feb 3), but it wasn't deliberate (please believe me). We were able to read their facebook announcement about the said activity that morning nah, and we we're all ready to go to divisoria!! Yes it's Divisoria!! We took the LRT from the Roosevelt station to the Doroteo Jose station. We took a jeepney and walked our way to the 999 mall. We arrived at the mall around 10:30am. Sadly, because we were running out of time (there's a scheduled activity at 1pm), we were just allowed by our bantay to shop for 1 hour. Well, within that one hour, I was able to buy skirts (take note, plural), blouses (plural also), mga pasalubong, and a swimwear (bwahahaha, I bought a pair but now that I look at it, I actually don't like it nah). I decided to buy a new bag because i realized the stuffs I bought won't fit in the bag I brought from CDO.

     I think I'm getting away from my title already... Haha. I should be writing about foods only! Wait.. Wait.. Wait..

     So it's like this, to make the long story short, we went back via LRT again (Ooh! But this time all the girls went in the all-girls cab of the LRT and it was quite spacey!) and decided to take our lunch at the LRT Roosevelt station only because we are about to be late already. There were siomai stalls, korean stalls, burger stalls, and etc. I went for the chicken burger and got a buko pandan drinks from the other stall..

This is unfortunately the only picture of me during the said lunch at the LRT station
(me and Poloy)

Jecca eating her pugo kwek-kwek or itlog na pogi as she calls it

     We were lucky enough to be just on time. After the activity, Sir Marco introduced us to the world class taho (as he claimed it to be). I bought a cup for P10.00. It tasted fine but not good enough to be called "world-class". Si sir talaga, oveeer kung maka-describe! 



     The group decided to go to the UP shop where all UP collectibles and memorabilias can be bought. Sir Marco again brought us to a Tapsilog shop where according to him, the "world's best Tapsilog" can be found. Hmmm. I wouldn't call it "world's best" but I admit it was really delicious! I was able to taste it thanks to Dean! Haha. I ate it for free XD. One of the staffs of that Tapsilog house was also a Bisaya! I was shocked when he talked to us in Bisaya! Haha. The world is indeed small.





     We were then brought to the Isawan sa UP. Courtesy of Sir Marco, I was able to taste UP's version of Isaw. Honestly, I found the Isaw here in CDO more delicious. It made me miss Proben and Kwek-kwek.

Isawan sa UP. Sir Marco holding sweet isaw sauce
     Guess what, few minutes after this Isaw experience, I had feet cramps! My gosh! Of all things, of all places, and of all times!!! Singit lang po. 

     Now back to the topic (food). In the evening, the group decided to go to Trinoma. I went with Rickey and ate at Burger King. It was also my first time eating at Burger King! My gosh! A lot of First times already!! Happy happy! Since I still can't trust my feet, I just stayed there the whole time, while the others are happily roaming around Trinoma. I felt sad then. I felt that I was really missing something really big. I felt very left out! But the sad thing is, I can't blame anyone else but myself! Arrrgh! Why me? Of all people, why should these weak feet belong to me? Hahaii. [I wrote quite a long one there, but I deleted them anyway. I think I might just compose another post regarding my disappointments during the trip, but for now positive thoughts muna]. I apologize for the negative thought I inserted. Now, for my pictures from Burger King,



I wasn't able to finish that burger though. Consumed 3/4 of it only
     
     For the breakfast the next morning, we ordered hot choco again from Jollibee but this time around we just ate the things we brought from CDO. We went straight to UP for the whole day activity. The activity in the morning ended around 1pm. The marshals distributed our packed lunch and let us follow them to the Eng'g building where we will consume our food. As in we had to walk pa talaga para makapaglunch! I wasn't able to take a picture of us taking lunch so we will now be skipping to our dinner experience!

     Me, Mannah, and Sugar decided to go with Diana and meet her sister at SM North Edsa and just take our dinner there. We were dropped at the foot bridge to SM North while the others went straight back to UP to attend the Culminating night. Before we were dropped, there was a little tension (well at least from my point of view), bakit daw di kami sumama sa UP, sayang daw. I didn't like how those lines were delivered. It's like I'm about to commit a grave mistake. Anyhow, as we entered SM North, we found the Kangaroo Jack restaurant right away (left side of the entrance). It was a good thing that after ordering, we were able to see the sign: exclusive of 10% service charge. 






     I loved everything I ordered, from the fries, to the carbonara, and the steak! The dressing for the Mango Kani salad was not to my liking though. I think a wine was mixed in it. Didn't like the taste at all. XD But overall, our Kangaroo Jack was great. I enjoyed the food, and also my company. I knew I was with people who at least thought of my condition and really chose a restaurant near the entrance gate (for me not to walk a long way). I was able to meet Diana's sister also. She was not as snob as I thought she would be. I actually enjoyed our conversations. ^^

     The next morning, since we still had plenty of foods left, we just had those as our breakfast. I had Nesvita and a couple of sandwiches. Then we went straight to MOA via MRT (from North Avenue - Taft Station).

     We decided to take our lunch at the food court at MOA. After peeking at all the displays in the different talls, I decided to buy the Inihaw something. Courtesy of Russel, I was able to taste shark's fin. Although I pitied the shark the fin was from, it actually tasted good. Aw, now I feel bad again.. I won't eat shark's fin again!



     This was our last eat out in Manila since at 2pm we already went to the airport for our 4pm flight. ^^

First Manila moments

(last February 2, 2012)   

     After more than an hour of our CDO-Manila Flight, finally! We are now in Manila! Wala nang etchosan!!  Just when the voice-over said that it's now safe to unbuckle the seatbelt or the sinturong pangkaligtasan, I felt the excitement from my feet! We were just planning on taking pictures (again) when the voice-over (infairness, andami nyang sinabi) said not to take pictures in the stairway/ramp to avoid traffic or something. PERO! Talagang hindi kami nagpatinag and took pictures anyway...






     Other people were actually looking at us but we didn't mind. XD We continued taking pictures until we were already inside of the airport...


     We walked quite a distance until we reached the are where we were supposed to get our bags. 


      I got my bag moments later but was saddened that the stuffed animal I hanged in my bag wasn't there anymore. I waited a little longer but to my dismay, my stuffed animal didn't show up!! I was able to recover quickly though...


     After getting all our baggages, we decided to have our lunch while waiting for the arrival of the others. While looking for a place to eat, we almost walked all over the airport. We went down to the ground floor, then went up again!! (O diba! Instant tour!) 

     We finally decided to dine at Kenny Rogers (actually my first time ^^). Together with Mannah, Diana, Nece, Dean, Carlo, Elijah, we ordered their group package or something. I can't remember the price but I payed around P160 for my counterpart.


     We should have been glad that the second group already arrived, but due to the disappointing news we've heard, our spirits went down. The group who we thought would be fetching all of us, only went to the airport with their bare feet. Obviously, there was a misunderstanding. We who thought that a vehicle would be fetching us from the airport, cancelled the van we were suppose to rent. Then malalaman mo na wala pa lang susundong sasakyan sa'yo? HAHA! Everyone was affected one way or another. Well, since we had no choice, we just rented another van at the airport. We paid around P150 each for a 12-seater van (from NAIA to Dangay).

                          

     During the travel, I saw a running MRT (for the first time), and tall buildings which are very rare in CDO. We arrived in Dangay Suites after approximately 45 minutes of travel. We rested for a while then got ready for the welcome dinner at UP!

I now declare my brilliance!

     HAHA! I feel so proud of myself now that I'm able to fix my blog! I know it can't be considered as great as I consider it to be, but yo I don't care!! I'm just happy right now. haha!

   

     Well, for those who are having the same problem I had few days ago, (repeating posts, error message when editing the HTML code), you just have to switch to the old interface of Blogger then edit the HTML code of your template. Save the edited template then Tadaaa! (with a lighted bulb like that --->) the problem is fixed!!

   

     Now that my blog is ready, I can now go back to writing anything I want! bwahaha XD

Please help me with my blog!! (SERIOUSLY!)

     As you probably can see, my blog is in a mess right now. My blog posts keep repeating themselves. My HEADER and the GADGETS on my sidebar are repeating themselves also.

     As you figured out, I'm not that good in web designing so please bare with me in giving instructions.

     I tried google-ing what to do, and I came across a step-by-step instruction on how to edit the HTML of my template to remove the repeating posts and etc., but I always encounter an error message upon saving my edited template..

     WHAT SHOULD I DO???

     HELP ME PLEAAAASE....

     I would really appreciate any help. Thanks!

First plane experience


     After our Hell week (midterm week), the most awaited date arrived!! The time for us to go to Manila for the Chemical Engineering Summit at UP Diliman has arrived!! It's time to fly people!!

Pre-departure

     I've been inside the pre-departure area more than once, I've also been inside of an airplane (yung hindi nga lang gumagalaw.. nka-park lang sa airport kung baga) before but this is honestly my first time travelling by air!! I woke up around 1:30am and my nervousness didn't leave me until I arrive at the airport around 7:10am. Feeling ko nga napapraning na ako! Kainis yung feeling! Anyways, to make the long story short, we fell in line to have our baggages checked in (6 kilos lang yung baggage ko!). We sat and waited at the pre-departure area, then the picture taking began. . .

Boarding pass ba tawag dito?

At the back is Russel and Nece; (from left) Rose, Stephanie, Me, Diana, Mannah

Sir Marco (yung bantay namin), Michael, Arn, Russel, Nece, Me, Diana, Dean, Stephanie, Mannah

     Infairness, it was really cold inside the pre-departure area, and considering that I was wearing shorts (plus my nervousness), I could have froze inside. What kept me alive was our discussions regarding Naruto update (chapter 572) then I forgot my nervousness (thank God!). 

     It was already passed 9am when we were allowed to board on the plane. The plane wasn't that far from the pre-departure area but it actually took us around 15-20min to get on board. Why? Yeah! 'Coz we had our picture taking in the runway! We took pictures of our every step as we got closer to the plane! (As in!)

Bob, Rose, Me, Steph 

Bob, Russel, Me, Steph, Nece

     And we are now closer to the airplane...

     As you might have noticed, all of us are very much addicted to smiling to the camera.. And yes, we took pictures even in the stairs but we made it fast because there were people lining up. XD


On the plane

     Sure enough, we continued our picture taking in the plane. . .





      My seat was at 19E so I was seated in between the window seat and the aisle seat. . .

     My ears started hurting when the plane went to a much higher part of the sky. It was Mannah who taught me the trick to spare my ears. Throughout the our flight, there were sudden changes in our height, and that made my ears hurt more. There were two more things that helped me during my first plane ride, the view outside from the window, and the biscuits, cookies, and bubble gum my seatmates, Mannah and Russel, gave me.






      We arrived in Manila 10 minutes earlier than our expected arrival. So far, I didn't enjoy my first plane ride. haha. Anyways, I'll be sharing my Manila experience in my next posts! So wait for it, ok? Ja ne!
