Facebook is now a very popular website thanks to Mark Zuckerburg. Uploading photos and sharing them is too easy. Liking photos is also popular. There is a problem. Some people overuse the like feature.
There are instances when having to like becomes annoying. Someone posts into a group or sends you an IM and it says "Please like the photo and share." The problem, the more likes, the more chances of winning or, someone did this, higher grades!
So, how do you win? Flood your friends with messages to like and share the pic. Make multiple accounts. How do you pass? Do the same. So what if this person has only a few friends on Facebook? There will be minimal chances of winning. There would be low grades.
What is wrong with you people? Can't you just go with the traditional voting system so there would be no bias in the contest? As for the likes affecting the grades? What if the artwork is really nice, but with no likes? It is not the right way!

10 - 3DS XL Update
My 3DS XL was bought months ago @ U.S. for only $190 inclusive of taxes because of a sale. I'm so overjoyed because it is a lot cheaper than the one sold here in the Philippines. Here in the Philippines, the most trusted dealer that I can find sells it for 9500 Pesos when paid with cash. Based on the Peso Dollar rate today, the one bought at U.S. costs around 7700 Pesos. It is a lot cheaper!
What's more funny, the ordinary 3DS costs 7750 when paid with cash. I can just insult my friends who will be buying these units for the upcoming Pokemon X and Y. I'll tell them "Hey! My 3DS XL costs as much as your 3DS! Trololololol!"
I'm so glad I informed my grandfather there about the unit. I wanna tell him when I receive the system that he did a job well done!

9 - 3DS or 3DSXL
I've been deciding on whether to buy a 3DS or the 3DSXL. The XL is $30 more expensive, but I don't think that will be a problem because of the specifications.
The XL has 90% larger screens. It has larger battery power. It comes with 4gb SD card compared to 2gb SD card from the 3DS. The larger memory will be good for me because the game that I will be buying, Theatrhythm Final Fantasy, has a lot of DLC songs (which I will be buying as well).
The larger screens will be good since I'm sure there will be audiences watching as I play TFF.
They say that the 3D is still not that good as you are out of alignment from the screen. I don't really mind about that because I've heard that TFF does not use the 3D effect much, which means even more battery power! I doubt that Pokemon X and Y will make the most of the 3D as well. In short, switch the 3D on a low setting or better yet switch it off.
The 3D camera is still small in resolution, but I will just use it for fun, not for memorable photos and stuff, since you can't print a 3D picture. You can't also upload them to social networking sites for sharing. I don't really care about that much either.
Now there is no second analog stick, but what do I care? TFF is a touch screen game. All you need to do is touch the screen with the stylus!
I'm sticking with 3DS XL. My cash is almost ready. I can't wait to buy one!

8 - New Pokemon Game
Nintendo just announced Pokemon Generation VI and it will be on the 3DS. It will have nice 3D battle and 3D maps and more 3D stuff. They will be called Pokemon X and Pokemon Y.
This is good news for me since I got another reason to buy a 3DS. Since last year I've been planning to buy one for Theatrhythm Final Fantasy. Then I can add up DS games like FF3 and FF4 remakes since emulators on my laptop sucks because of the lag. No more "just for one game" reason for buying it. This is going to be my second Pokemon game on the actual console, the first is Gold Version.
I think I'll ask my friend what version he is buying before I'm buying mine so I can have a trade buddy. And since the 3DS features a memory card like the PSP, I think multiple save games will be possible.

7 - A New Blogging Strategy
The last few days of posting is always a day behind. I need a new strategy so I would not miss my blogging days again.
To not have hard time thinking of a topic to be posted, I will be writing the topic of the day in my planner.
When I'm away from my computer, when in school, I will be writing my draft blog on a notebook so I will just type it and not spend a lot of time in front of the computer thinking what to type.
I just hope this will help in my out-of-date posts.

6 - P.U.T.A. 4 Reminiscence
The term is about to start and training for P.U.T.A. will start.
I remember how horrible last season's experience was. That season became a performance that SHOULD win, not the usual just enjoy the dance and winning not the main objective. Every training night became a tiring night. We are falling behind in terms of completing the routine because in every training night, someone will be absent. WHERE IS THE DEDICATION? The training days are just wasted. That includes our energy.
I am forced to be a base lifter, something that I don't really like to do because my arms are unable to support very heavy weights. This is much harder because the one I lift somehow has a problem in maintaining balance with one foot. Most of my energy is depleted per training day during the mastering of this part.
I got tricked by a girl. When she found out that I got a crush on her, I think she abused it. She is one of the people who made me drunk one night during a team gathering. During her debut, I just requested for a photobooth with her, she said later and I agreed. Then she never did a photobooth with me. I kept reminding her about it, but she ignored them. I just wished she never invited me. I walked out with anger. Damn her attitude!
I got left out. I know I'm the quiet type, but that doesn't mean leave me literally. On a debut of another teammate, there was supposed to be a performance by the team. I volunteered to be one of the performers. I kept asking them when and where the practices will be. Since I transferred to another school already, they said they can't let me in their practices because they are going to practice in their school. Okay, I would just accept that but "how the hell did our coach teach the choreography of the dance?" He is not a student in their school. They could have practiced outside of school but still what the hell. No one would reply to my questions. Damn again! Some teammates they are.
Lastly, those useless college heads. They are supposed to help us, like help us reserve a training area, show up during our training, ask if any help is needed, give reminders, etc. What did they do? The only help I recognized is they teaching us the traditional cheers. What made me really mad is them telling the whole team that a video presentation introducing the team is required. When did they tell us that? The day before the actual performance at around 10 p.m. I'm in a rage because I'm the video editor. I told the team that I will be rushing the video the next day, since the performance is in the afternoon, and the video will be very simple. While we were shooting for the video, the college heads just told me to use the trailer that I made weeks before the performance day. Again, damn! They could have told me that last night. I already got my video outline, and a part of the video is already made. I just submitted the video of the trailer. During the event, our video is not played because of codec problems on the laptop used. They did not test the video or use VLC. I found that out through my friend. And again, DAMN!
I just wished I did not join at all. We did not win the gold. I failed a lot of units this term and was forced to transfer to another school. P.U.T.A. 3 team is still better.

5 - The Ugly Truth About Dealers
Here in Manila, Philippines, there is a street where a lot of dealers of computers, parts, and accessories. In short, everything that has to do with computers, even repairs.
One day, I went there with my brother because we were finding a charger for a Toshiba laptop. We went to a lot of stores. On the first store, I gave the specifications of the charger. The dealer gave an Acer charger, and the current rating is different. He told me there is no difference in the current rating. My first thought is "Excuse me? I'm looking for a Toshiba charger." We just left.
On the next store, we found a Toshiba charger but the current rating is still different, and I heard the same things.
On the next store, we found another charger which is cheap but is a very large problem. The current rating is much larger than the one I'm looking for.
I still am not convinced on what these dealers are saying. There has to be a reason why the voltage rating and current rating is given in a charger. I want the exact one.
I went to the only store that I trust since I've been there before. I wasn't really planning on asking for a charger there. I just went there to let my sister's laptop checked. I then asked about the charger. They said that interchanging chargers with different specifications in dangerous to the battery. I knew that was the reason the battery of my laptop got damaged and won't hold a full charge anymore.
I just want to say to the other stores, "Shame on you! You just want to damage our items so we come back to your store and buy again. You call yourselves technicians?"
I learned to always go back to that one store everytime I go looking for computer parts.
