fool for the taking

I'm a fool for the taking
So, baby take me down
I'm a fool for the taking
I'm not that dumb, but I don't mind faking
A fool for the taking
Yeah, a king without a crown
A fool in the making
I can take what you give, 'cause you got me hypnotised

iPhone 3.0

so have you upgraded your iPhone to iPhone OS 3.0 yet? i did, on the first day that the 3.0 came out. and so far i am loving the improvements in the new OS.

here's what i like in iPhone 3.0

1. my most favorite of these improvements is now you have an option to send MMS whereas before you have to be connected to the net either via wifi or gprs to be able to send photos and before you can only send photos thru email. thank god iPhone is now MMS capable.

2. the copy and paste feature

3. you can now forward text messages, before i cannot forward messages unless i retype it :)

4. you cano also send business cards or contact info from your address book

5. voice memos, now i can record those one liner from chelsea :) though i am still envious to the new iPhone 3GS because of its video capability

6. you can now do a mass or bulk sending or deleting of pictures, whereas before you had to send/delete photos one by one.

7. texting now allows landscape keyboard which is handy for those with big thumbs/fingers but come to think of it i like the standard setting because when texting on a landscape keyboard i can barely see the screen or what i typed.

for the complete list of iPhone 3.0 features click here. Please note that you need to update your iTunes first to ver 8.2 before you can install the OS 3.0. so what are you waiting for? update your iPhone now :)

happy father's day

"I watched a small man with thick calluses on both hands work fifteen and sixteen hours a day. I saw him once literally bleed from the bottoms of his feet, a man who came here uneducated, alone, unable to speak the language, who taught me all I needed to know about faith and hard work by the simple eloquence of his example." ~ Mario Cuomo

happy father's day to my tatay... and to all the dad's in the world

i just want to be a child again

received this "resignation letter" in my mailbox for so long and that's just what i wanna do right now, resign from everything and be a child again...

I am hereby officially tendering my resignation as an adult.

• I have decided I would like to accept the responsibilities of a 5 year old again.
• I want to go to McDonald's and think that it's a four star restaurant.
• I want to sail sticks across a fresh mud puddle and make ripples in a pond with rocks.
• I want to think M&Ms are better than money because you can eat them.
• I want to lie under a big oak tree and watch the ants march up its trunk.
• I want to run a lemonade stand with my friends on a hot summer's day.
• I want to think a quarter is worth more than a dollar bill cause it's prettier and weighs more.
• I want to go fishing and care more about catching the minnows along the shore than the big bass in the lake.
• I want to return to a time when life was simple. When all you knew were colors, multiplication tables, and nursery rhymes. When I didn't know what I know now. When all I knew was to be happy because I was blissfully unaware of all the things that should make me worried.
• I want to think the world is fair.
• I want to think that everyone is honest and good. I want to believe that anything is possible.
• I want to be oblivious to the complexities of life and be overly excited by the little things again.
• I don't want my day to consist of computer crashes, mountains of paperwork, depressing news, how to survive more days in the month than there is money in the bank, doctor bills, gossip, illness, and the loss of loved ones.
• I want to believe in the power of smiles, hugs, a kind word, truth, dreams, the imagination, Santa, the Tooth Fairy, a kiss that makes a boo-boo go away, making angels in the snow and that my dad and Superman are the strongest people in the world.
