Here I am typing on my freaking keyboard again. This is the only time I find solace. This is the time I find myself organizing all the crap I’ve seen through some time. And the crap I’m talking about is just pure shit. It’s not far since I was nobody. Now that I’m at what some would call a top rank between coworkers, I have been alienated by my so called friends. Get this: I’m a student. And I’m not bragging, but I get most work in my bag done with flying colors. The latest and the one I believe created a gap between my colleagues was the play I directed. So yes, I was the director slash writer slash overall manager slash everything. As all those positions were assigned to me by them who are my friends, I had to get on my feet and start making everything work. In doing so, I believe all of them tagged me as a secondary instructor slash professor that makes everyone’s lives miserable. It wasn’t my fault that the stage play was a difficult job- it’s just that I had to make it work for the best of the class. I wouldn’t want the class stage play to turn out as major flop and with me as the creative hand behind it all. I just wouldn’t allow it, if I did, then I would not be worthy of being a mass communications student.

SMOKING 40 CIGARETTES in aDAY? bad for your health!

2010-06-03T13:43:00.000-07:00

Smoking kills!

Tell that to the Indonesian kid who smokes 40 cigarettes in one day! He is so addicted that when he doesn't get his fix, he gets cranky.

I thought- where are his parents? why the hell would they allow their child smoke at a really early age? The toddler is two years old. Guess what- the toddler's father introduced him to smoking at 18 months old!

Damn, talk about extreme FAIL. Parenting FAIL, that is.

Anyway..

here's a video of Carl Paolo of CrazySynch. Brought to you by The PovertyPhone. (Naks!)

COMMENT!

Who's carl paolo? He makes videos of stuff and other shit like the jejemon virus. Takes videos of him getting pierced and uploads them to crazysynch.

ANTIBACTERIAL SOAP istress

2010-03-15T09:53:00.000-07:00

This is the first tagalog post ever. Starting now.

Maligayang pagdating sa aking mahiwagang blog. Ako po ang inyong lingkod - CarlPaolo. Ako ang nagbabagang tagapagbalita para sa oras na ito! naks naman. Bob Ong style ang gamit ko ngayon ahh. Pansin niyo? Inspiring kasi mga libro niya.

Pero. Ispeaking of libro, naghugas ako ng kamay kanina lang. at nabasa ko yung nakasulat. "Cherry flavored antibacterial soap". Napaisip ako. Bakit may flavor ang sabon? Eh diba nga pang hugas lang naman ng kamay? Baka gusto sabihin scented at hindi flavored. May nagsabi nga dati diba. "you only put flavor to something if you eat it". maliban na lang siguro sa condom ng iba diyan.

Kunsabagay nga naman, baka may kumakain ng sabon at trip nila ang bananaflavored soap.**nyeta.

Hindi lang yun ang napansin ko, mga kaibigan, at magbabasa. "antibacterial". Bakit nga pala ako naghuhugas ng kamay? Diba nga marumi kamay ko? Paano yung mga sabon na walang nakasulat na antibacterial? **nyeta talga. Eh di bakit pa ako nagsabon kung hindi rin lang matatanggal yung bacteria? Paano yung germs at virus? Wala namang 'antiviral' at 'germicidal' na nakikita sa takilya diba? Like, nagsabon ka pa. Hindi rin lang nalinisan yung kamay mo. Wahaha.

Gudlak na lang sa mga maghuhugas ng kamay. piliin niyo yung mga fresh. dapat hindi mapula yung mata. yung hindi lulubog sa tubig. Naks! alam ko diba? namamalengke ako ehh.

haha. sa susunod! ako ang nagbabagang tagapagbalita: CarlPaolo

Once a party time

2009-12-28T01:19:00.000-08:00

It's been more than a month since my last post.

I've been quite busy with stuff. I was writing too, but not online. I wrote a couple of songs and they're still incomplete. It's hard to fit words into melody. Even if it's the other way around. I also wrote (I''m still writing it, actually) a script for film. It is a very tedious job especially for beginners like me. Scripts are the most important part of a movie, and you have to make sure it's the best it can be. Sometimes writing can be so tough. But, when you write, it's like something is being honed within you. Some kind of creative black hole. Anyway, the movie script is now underway. I hope the final product will be as good as what we see in cinemas, but I know it will be a long road till I can get there. But, I believe I can make it happen! ADiKT powers!

Partying has also come my way. It's actually a nice way of bonding with people you know and making new friends. It's also a challenge not to throw up while dancing to the beats on the dance floor. A lot of people hate partying. they say beer tastes like gasoline (as if they have tasted gasoline). They ask me, why I love beer, and all those other "stuff" like margarita and cocktails. I always answer: It's not the taste of alcohol that I like. It's the time I spend with people that I'm after. Being drunk is not your target in drinking. It's the bonding you get to do with the other party people you know. There are a few good party people I know, and a lot of "amateur" party poopers. I consider myself a median parrrrrtey person, if there's such a thing. I mean I can still go to a quiet cafe' and enjoy myself. The point is, there is a common denominator between them both: time spent with people.Others may see bonding in church, in the movie house, in bed or in the classroom. It's all ok, but partying is a different kind of fun. It's a wacky, do-anything-cause-it-rocks type of fun. It's also your choice to get wasted and maybe get laid.

I'll shut up now. Let's party!

Three cups of coffee in an hour

2009-12-28T00:53:00.001-08:00

okay! so it's been ages since I posted a blog post. But here I am, back online.

It's the holiday season and I've been busy eating. Sleeping and I moved beerfest to December. It's funny I'm not worried of getting fat for 2010. That's why I'lll drink vodka instead of beer for its slimming goodness. Speaking of drinking, I was supposed to meet up with my movie cast just a while ago. Guess what? they didn't show up. So I ordered a cafe au lait from the counter. And then a cafe mocha. and then another cafe au lait. I drank all of them in just an hour. An hour of waiting for my stupid movie cast and crew to show up. But they didn't, and maybe I set a new record. Three coffee cups in an hour. I'll go for four next time. I'm feeling cranky right now, so I'll just leave you a question. Comment the answer!

What's the most number of drinks you ever had under an hour?

School is ON!

2009-11-07T22:45:00.000-08:00

So, school is about to start. Everyone's probably drained of energy but not me! (okay I am) Some are just lazy or didn't even bother to enroll. Anyway, here are some new HOW TO's on making the second semester feel as cool or even better than the first.

1. Be even more interesting, or if you really are an interesting person, be fun.

2. Be funny. If you already are, be hilarious(er)

3. Make more friends and enemies, they keep it spicy!

4. Look for an ideal eye candy. Or a lip candy!

5. Brush up on your studies (wow I'm giving study tips) if you sucked the first time around

get your gear up and use all those HOW TO's and you'll surely get a blast.

are you horny?

2009-11-05T20:12:00.000-08:00

Oh my god! What the f?

And I promised Google I won't post adult content! Haha. Anyway, do you like to see some hot juicy pussy? watch this awesome video. Comment here, or on the youtube channel I don't really care.

Alright so it's been eons since my last post. (6 days). Meanwhile, I have been busy partying and sleeping and all those stuff. It's kinda boring if you don't go anywhere during the semestral break. It's also a pain in the ass cause you don't have money since you don't really get regular allowance! It's just so f**ked up! sorry for my language. anyway, tell me what to do so I could avoid boredom ! leave a comment and I promise I'll get back at you and your blog! go! (I am! so! loving! the! exclamation! point!)

HAPPY HALLoWEEN!!

2009-11-01T09:30:00.000-08:00

So, who went to costume parties last halloween?? Or, who's going to attend the holiday party on the 2nd of november? I did, and I will! Cool huh? And as you have read from my earlier posts, my parties always have after parties. But for the most part, it is only now that I have posted a new blog article after so many weeks. So, I'll do what I used to do for most posts.. Here's a cool video about HALLOWEEN. Watc before you proceed.

So, have you watched it? Be sure to watch it. Another posting tradition: enumeration.

Here goes; 5 reasons why I love horror movies.

1: I get to be attentive.

2: I get to think (as if I don't).

3: I get to be hugged by my date.

4: I get to scream on top of my lungs!

5: I get more ideas to post on this damn blog.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN GUYS!

don't forget to post a comment on WHY YOU LOVE (or hate) HORROR MOVIES!

wake me up when the semester ends!

2009-10-25T08:35:00.000-07:00

yeehaw!!!

Semestral break, ladies and gentlemen! Who's not excited? Students of course. Why? no allowance, finger cramps on the remote control and ear torture listening to the amazing taylor swift''s songs. {her songs are so sweet but try listening to them for like fifty times a day like on the radio, gosh} Blogging to no man's land. Watching YouTube channels as if there's no tomorrow, waiting for another semester to unfold. Sure, semestral breaks are good. But for the ones who hate being bored, the ones who live life as a battlefield, and as a place to be jolly, happy and jumpy, its saddening that the two weeks of boredom will be spent eating, sleeping and goofing around. So kids, why not do something for the world? try saving mother earth, try helping typhoon victims, try watching crazysynch on youtube(oh wait, that's boring hah) . enjoy the break dudes!

who's smarter? guys or gals?

2009-10-23T12:02:00.000-07:00

crazy!

2009-10-20T03:22:00.000-07:00

I'm a big fan of music, and I have tried singing but failed. But this guy found how to sing without singing. Whatever, Just watch him and comment on his channel! It's worth watching.

TAGALIZED POVERTYPHONE

2009-10-11T20:35:00.000-07:00

Ladies and gentlemen of the world,

I proudly present a tagalized version of the povertyphone-- "ANG POVERTY PHONE".

There are things and times in life best expressed in your own language. English is also my second language. But don't worry, I shall update both blogs at the same pace as I update right now.

Ang Poverty Phone is a filipinized version of the Poverty Phone.

Ang Poverty Phone: FUNNIER. BETTER. STOOPIDER.

See it now! click here.

"ang taong di marunong magmahal sa sariling wika, mabaho pa sa malansang isda".
-Jose Rizal
Philippine national hero

"ang taong di marunong magmahal sa sariling wika, walang pambili ng filipino book.">
-Carl Paolo
The PovertyPhone

So Why PovertyPhone?

2009-10-11T20:23:00.000-07:00

Finally, an ABOUT page.

Why povertyphone?

Everyone's asking: what were you thinking when you named the blog "povertyphone"?

here's my story

Everyone's using a cellphone. No matter how expensive it was, no matter how cheap it is. It is STILL a cellphone. Gadgets is the mark of technology. Although technology is relative, let's live our own golden age to the fullest.

Poverty is a serious predicament. It is when you are lacking of basic needs that you are stricken of poverty. Such as, no phone, no load, no cash, no facebook. Most students and former students know what I'm talking about.

I kinda lost two mobile phones this year. I know, you may have lost more, or less, but those phones were a bit top of the line and I loved 'em. But out of sheer stupidity I lost them. I can't buy another one, so I'm stuck to using a lower end mobile for now. I don't really need to call everyone in my phonebook during class right? I just use SMS for important purposes and the occasional pickup texts. hehe

So, I've practically said what's what in this blog: I'm a student, I'm using a cheap phone I always call povertyphone, I like writing, and I got no money. Simply not.

Enjoy reading!

¿dn s,ʇɐɥʍ ¡ʎǝɥ

So what's up? Me? nothing much. just reminiscing the days when I actually thought santa was real. Okay that's a bit far. I'd like to relate to the panic brought about by the stupid weather forecast lately reported by the weather station (here in the Philippines).

Typhoon Ondoy flooded major cities last week and water levels are still roof high-- as of post time. different countries have donated goods for the victims of the storm and in behalf of the Philippine blogosphere and the filipino nation, I would like to express gratitude over all the help you have given. back to poverty time.

October 1st, Thursday

6:00pm
The weather reports (according to the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration) said that the category five storm will touch the archipelago at October 2nd, 6:30 in the evening. Signal 1 declared in most places including mine.

October 2nd, Friday

12:00nn--
I was wearing formal wear (because I was super ready to report) on the way to class when text messages flooded my phone asking and saying that the classes are suspended for the afternoon. [GREaaaT! I'm in stoopid formal wear]

2:00pm--
The awards night everyone in my college was waiting for was cancelled and moved to another date. Amazing, cause this is the first time I have ever seen a hotel reservation get postponed. [uhm, they suspended classes. The awards night is not a class, right?]

5:30pm--
Facebook statuses exploded with statements of hatred and dilemmas.
"this is such a superfake storm, there aren't any houses flying".
"the awards night was postponed for a stupid weather report".
"classes are suspended, therefore, no allowance".

6:30pm--
The still calmness of the air gives no sign of the impending storm. News programs are claiming that the storm will approach three hours later.

9:30pm--
Drizzles and winds start to disturb sleep. Of course I wasn't sleeping. I stayed up till 12 midnight reading Bob Ong and Archie alternately. Listening to the winds and raindrops that I thought were as big as lemons. I was thinking of watching TV but it would lose satellite contact anyway, so why bother.

October 3rd Saturday

8:00am--

Weather forecasts said that the storm has changed course. {hooray?} Our roof was barely clinging on. Winds are 110 Kph.

12:00nn--
The winds and rains are tandem to the highest power. Every umbrellas opened flip outward. Dang Fibrellas get demoted to povertyumbrellas. Everyone burst into laughter everytime a new umbrella flip outwards.

1:30pm--
I was at the city proper waiting for groupmates for schoolwork. I needed coffee, blankets and ten cups of soup. I swear, I was seeing snowflakes. haha. Anyway, small tidal waves hit the sidewalk as cars pass by/ Luckily I was at the far end. Oops! I wasn't safe after all. I got splashed at.

9:00pm--
Winds rains and thunder continue to batter rooftops. And carry small kittens away. I was worried a snake could be flown into my indow.

So, the storm has changed course, huh?

****************************

When I was in high school, there was an earthquake drill announced during the flag ceremony. This was to monitor the speed of the students in vacating the buildings in case of earthquakes, fire or emergencies. The signal to run outside was: a continuous ring of the bell.

So the bell rang and everyone started for the door, when our [young and pretty] teacher shouted "OKAY, FORM YOUR LINES OUTSIDE .....!".

I was like : WHAT? it's an earthquake drill. You won't be lining up during the real thing would you?

And here are a couple of new products :

This condom will surely make your voice better especially if you. uhh, yeah. So if you're looking for spicy sweet fun, go for the ginger condom.

Climate Change f@%&!

2009-09-26T20:07:00.000-07:00

The world is changing into a soaking wet sponge. And yes, The PovertyPhone is concerned. My world- Philippines is currently under a state of calamity because of a really devastating typhoon we'd like to call Ondoy. The Philippines' weather has evidently changed during the past few months. Instead of having a hot and dry season last asian summer, April and May, we were visited by THREE typhoons with well distributed rain showers that made sure everybody went home wet. Everybody went home wet? Hey I like the sound of that. Anyway during the expected rainy season, only one typhoon showed up. Now that september ends, we are feeling the effects of (unproven) climate change. Ondoy flooded major cities and cancelled most affairs including the Bar exam for future Philippine lawyers. Jeepney rides couln't reach a their usual point of destination as well as all flights have been cancelled, domestic and international. LRT stations and an airport are currently serving as makeshift evacuation centers since there are no modes of transportation available even when people try to go home. Instead of wallowing in the house high floods, they (even I would) prefer sleeping anywhere dry or at least not soaking of mud and water. The typhoon also flooded areas that are not really places that usually flood up. The water levels are just so high you need a helicopter rescue to get off your roof. And then go where? The National Disaster Coordinating Council (NDCC) are trying their best to rescue everyone they see on top of their houses and those wallowing in the mud. But, there are so many people in this situation that they are outnumbered.

So what can we, ADiKTs do? [stay home and watch TV] I'm kidding. Start doing what you learned from your science teachers. Recycle. Reuse. Walk home. And stop farting. These could all help slow down the effects of global warming. Remember, If we are feeling its wrath now, how much more will we see in the future?

Make Your Move.

THBT debate is synonymous to Brain Drain !

2009-09-23T09:33:00.000-07:00

....... For the pictures, I used a sony cybershot T700 camera ................

Have you ever tried debating? Have you ever argued until the last drop of your soul is giving up? Our school held a very exciting activity last September 23, 2009. The ACADEMIC OLYMPICS. Each college competed in categories (DEBATE, essay, super random quiz bee, SPELLING BEE, declamation, and oration in filipino and english) given out by the coordinating council. The colleges picked out the best of the best and the hidden talents of their department to represent them in the competition.

I was asked to join the debate team. Ironic since I'm already supervising the essay writing team, since writing is my forte. I don't really speak in public since I'm shy (believe me lol!) .

This is my journeyClIcK TO rEaD mORe!

thanks so much for clicking! I hid this text because, it's confidential. Okay, not really. But, I'd like to tell you that debating is a very healthy and exciting sport. so there. thanks again for visiting this site, and click - follow over there at the right or click the "reply" thing at the top of this post below the title to comment. keep reading!

^Mr. Samson giving instructions^

All teams were excusedfrom 0730 hours to 1930 hours of 9/23/9. The olympics started off with doxology, singing of national anthem and encouraging words from the facilitators.

The debate mechanics were that all teams should compete against 5 other teams during 5 rounds with the same motion for all teams at the same time. The team with the highest points get to be in the top 8 who will compete the next day.

Sadly, My team did not make it to top eight. maybe we were last in line but, see, we learned ... and enjoyed and rebutted all that is to be rebutted ladies and gentlemen. As I have stated a while back, the main issue here is that... lol

Online reads. Will they still be FREE?

2009-09-21T10:14:00.000-07:00

I came across this article yesterday and I think that it is possible. We could be paying for online reads soon!

SAN FRANCISCO - With their advertising revenue drying up, newspaper publishers spent much of the spring and summer debating whether to cut off free online access to some of the material they run in their shrinking print editions.

It looks like the talk will turn to action this fall, when some large newspapers are expected to put up Internet toll booths.

They'll be testing readers' willingness to pay for information and entertainment that mostly has been given away online for the past 15 years. That happened largely because most publishers could afford to subsidize their Web sites with profits from their print franchises. But now those profits have crumbled, just as the prices for online ads are tumbling, too.

source: click here

OMG! right? heaven help us if we have to "insert coin" each time we read a newspaper article. Not to mention article jumps such as "read more". does that mean we should "insert more" coins too?! But yes, most internet users have disregarded ads on webpages they visit unless they are very very catchy. And they are catchy, 2 percent of the time.

Each time I log on and reply to online newsletters I do a spellcheck. I look for snonymous words to avoid repetition. I wonder if there are antonymous words, but whatever. Speaking of words, I'll be posting weird words that are surely catchy! soon.

legal connection

2009-09-16T13:16:00.000-07:00

....

A new lawyer sets up a new office. He rented a suite, furnished it and wanted a phone installed. The phone company told him that they'd install it in a few days. One morning, when a man entered the new office, the lawyer quickly picked the phone up and talked loudly. "Yes? I'm very busy right now ... I'd say that it may cost a few hundred thousand dollars"! And with that, he hung up and turned to his "client" and asked: "What can I do for you"? The man started to smile and continued laughing. He finally said: "I was sent by the phone company to connect your phone"!

found love online?

2009-09-14T14:14:00.000-07:00

Have you, honestly, ever, really, found or tried to find someone to (love) like over the internet?

"GIRLS who look for DUDES on the internet are either crazy, hookers, or DUDES".

-Barney, How I Met Your mother

this is a part two of the article High Tech Relationships click her e

A lot of people are looking for love. Or maybe they want to call it, "the right one". Others deny they're looking for the right one. I say look for the left one. Anyway, a lot lot lot lot lot or lots of people are actually dictated to love by social networking sites. This is the effect of technology on love.
FACEBOOK is a very very good example of such. Try changing your status from "single" to "in a relationship" and see how many people will comment on your wall. You may also change "in a relationship" to "single". That is a bit devastating to your partner if he-she sees that so maybe its not a good idea.
Oh yes, it's really not a good idea. Many relationships have been crushed by simply changing statuses online. Its a wonder how break ups can be facilitated by a simple mouse and mousepad. Of course, there would be text messages afterwards, but what the heck.

Okay, so let us now leave the glittery glattecky world of love and go back to the real techno savvius society-- the 21st century.

I'd like to welcome generation Zz. As in, Zleepy. Attention span has been proven to have decreased (among people born) every ten years.

1990- 20 minutes

I hate RAIN and EXAMS!

2009-09-11T09:07:00.000-07:00

Exam week is over! hooray for me and my schoolmates! Each time we get to answer exams, our noses bleed. I get to do something else too -- my brain leaks out of my ears and I get to stretch my neck to unbelievable lengths! One time my eyes were bulging out too much my contacts fell off. It's raining once again and I just do not like the rain. I mean I like it if I'm indoors and there are no classes but if I'm out of my room and going to the mall, school, hanging out with pals, or just going home, every part of me tries to avoid raindrops. (hindi ako pwedeng mabasa ano. dadami ako) Sorry that was my brain talking in my language. Anyway, exams. Exams. Exams. We can't avoid it. We are not safe. So let me give you tips on how NOT to pass it. Since everyone gives tips on how to do things right I'll beg to differ. Okay,
1. ~~Do not~~ use your mobile phone to list down answers on.
2. ~~Do not~~ take every opportunity to look at your seatmates paper.-When the teacher's not looking.
3. ~~Do not~~ use pass letters with your friends with the answers on it.
4. ~~Do not~~ use sunglasses so you won't be able to look at your seatmate's paper without being noticed.
5. ~~Do not~~ sit beside the school geek.
6. ~~Do not~~ use a pencil so you can change answers if another one is better.
7. ~~Do not~~ review two weeks before.
8. Do not sit beside your ultimately cute classmate. They are ~~not~~ distractions.
9. ~~Do not~~ use signals for every letter for multiple choice questions.

Now that it's guaranteed that you won't pass the exams next week, be sure to bring an umbrella
in case you hate the rain as much as me. And if you hate exams, follow these tips and you shall hate no more!

HEY IT'S CARL!!!! If your audio was on, you could've heard me screech in high pitch (annoying) levels. lol

Fred is the most subscribed for YouTube personality on the internet-- he's got exactly 1,393,906 and counting. A lot of YouTubers are still catching on to the Fred trend while others are sore from watching him. Massive pranks in the form of chain comments saying that "we should unsubscribe Fred on june 1st"! and whatever. In this video, Davedays ... oh just watch it. The singer, Davedays, is a 17 year old singer from Philadelphia who's finally getting a life after proving to be a very good singer and that he could backflip like no other. I love this vid. Dave made it clear on the video description that this is not made to deter you from watching Fred, it's just that he's gotten old over time. There are newer YouTube channels that are just as or even more entertaining. Davedays has recently (aug 5, 2009 actually) formed a network with: Lisanova, Shaycarl, Shane Dawson, Whatadayderek, Kassem G, SXEphil, Thebdonski, and Rawn. This is the largest team up in the history of YouTube. The Station, as they called it, (I don't know why, but anyways) caters to everyone but it's mostly Shane Dawson. Youtubers, know what I'm talking about: the virginity promise, abstinence and jonas family orgy themed videos. Also commendable in this new channel is the soundtrack they use for every video and there are zombies. Best wishes to The Station! They already have 300 000 + subscribers. anyway, here's the video on Fred getting owned-- BIG time!

Lyrics:

Fred
Hes a 6 year old brat
Hes got a voice to match
Not anyone can do that

Fred
Da-da-da-dont you love the internet
Just as much as your fans
Love the kindergarten

Fred youre driving me crazy just like a million other kids
Brainwashed and unhappy
But thats okay because youre so cool

Friday night
I was chillin at the mall
At my favorite gothic shop
Thats when my heart stopped

Fred
Oh mother hackin Fred
Am I going insane or am I the only one whos sane?

Fred youre driving me crazy
Just like a ba-jillion other kids
Brainwashed and unhappy
Is this supposed to be funny? Do you find this funny? Am I supposed to find this funny?
This isnt funny

Fred
Hes a 6 year old brat
And he wont stop at that
Until he takes over the world

Hello to the internet world!!! I have a find! Rising star: DAN TALEVSKI is amazing! He sings Jason Mraz' song: "I'm yours" here in this video It's a bit old, but even if this video was uploaded to youtube last december 2008, it is still worth a praise. Plus, Dan's other videos are as amazing as this one right here. I love Jason Mraz's vocals on this song ( Mraz won an award for best male vocals last 2008 for "I'm yours")

text from his biography:

Plenty of people dream of stardom while singing along to their favorite songs in their bedroom. In most cases, that’s as far as it goes. But 22-year-old Dan Talevski has parlayed this hobby into a worldwide fan base – all from his home in Ontario, Canada.

Since he started posting videos of himself singing covers of songs by artists like Justin Timberlake, Rihanna, Alicia Keys and Ne-Yo, he’s amassed over 21 million views and 73,000 subscribers, and the numbers are still growing, on his YouTube channel. The spectacular reaction to the raw talent evident in these home videos caught the ear of renowned producer Polow Da Don – whose production credits include tracks for a ‘who’s who’ of pop and hip hop, such as Fergie, Usher, The Pussycat Dolls, Keri Hilson, Nas, Ludacris, Ciara and more – and scored Dan a record deal with Zone 4/Interscope, plus the guidance of 3Street Management (Howie Dorough of Backstreet Boys and CJ Huyer of 3Deep).

Good luck to your career Dan! and to the readers of The Poverty Phone: subscribe to DanJT87

DANCING POLICE and POLITICS

2009-09-05T09:33:00.001-07:00

When politics seep into technology, strange things happen. Way waaay, strange. Technology is now a medium so powerful that if it falls in the wrong hands, it could turn out good. (of course, it could also turn out bad).
Anyway, high ranking officials and dummies of the government are presently using the internet as their newest form of campaign. Barrack Obama used it too during the fight for the democrat rep. Obama used a Facebook profile during the campaign period to maximize the scope of his supporters. Sadly I was still an innocent idiot at that time. I haven’t signed up for Facebook and I really missed the hype of actually getting a comment from the now US president. Another sad fact is that mr. Obama is no longer updating his Facebook accouont. The president is not allowed to use a personal computer because files may be intercepted by anyone with access to the white house. (talk about tattletales and snitches)
Another Facebook user is Manny Villar. I am a fan of his and the OFW ideas Almost half of the RP population are families with at least one member working abroad. That gets Villar about thirty million supporters on the OFW scheme alone, thanks to the television and internet commercials. Villar also uses Twitter- my loved sharing site next to Google.
Mar Roxas lately announced that he will give way to Noynoy Aquino as the standard bearer of the Liberal Party. This means that senator Mar Roxas will no longer run for presidency at the 2010 elections. Mar Roxas paid for advertisements with Friendster and those advertisements really captured the heart. Now, he asks his supporters to support senator Noynoy Aquino as he does. (his endorsement is not enough. Advertise with me, sir)
Speaking of Friendster, there are a gazillion fake profiles of people, famous or not, as long as they have an impact. Search Panfilo Lacson and you get a stunning 80 results. Search Ping Lacson, you get 14 results. How are we supposed to know which is genuine or not? It’s impossible for one person, especially a very busy politician to handle 94 public profiles.

Political ads by the current administration are still soaring high. Ads that display the name of the chairman bigger than the name of the organization or government branch. Why show those only now that we are nearing the 2010 elections? We all know the answer to that. There’s nothing new in Philippine politics except that schemes are more sophisticated, and media killings are no longer being reported.

BUT something cheered me up when I was already late for a 7:30a.m. class. I hailed a cab from home, and told the driver to step on it and I’ll double the fare if I don’t end up late. All was going fine (and fast) when we got to a super sticky traffic jam. Cars moved bumper to bumper and then three meters. Stop again. Three meters stop again. Until we reached the intersection where I saw this traffic controller dancing while doing the signals for “go"! Yes, he was dancing on the street. I hated what was happening but somehow the police guy cheered me up. I was smiling until after I alighted from the cab, plus—I didn’t have to pay double.

here's a post from http://www.filipinasoul.com/ with video! funny.

Girl Lizards Turn Orange to Avoid Sex

Shared via AddThis

Ladies, can you imagine being able to tell a dude you're not in the mood without saying anything, while simultaneously helping the elderly cross the street? You could if you were the Lake Eyre lady dragon, an animal that can turn orange on a whim.

When reproductively active, the lizards develop bright orange patches on their stomachs, and when they don't want to mate they just roll over onto their backs and lay there. Since male lizards haven't figured out the missionary position yet, it lets the fellas know, "Sorry, not tonight." As an added bonus, predators like birds don't recognize bright-orange-spotted things lying on their backs as food.

DARTS

2009-08-31T03:58:00.000-07:00

I don't know why I chose darts as my P.E. (physical education) subject this semester, but I actually did. I really hate that decision since I don't know how to play a single game of darts. I started throwing those "pins" at the dartboard and those numbers above changed. I really don't know the mechanics. don't ask me. Pins, as I know them are what you call those things you hit at the bowling alley with balls. I like ball games better than darts but I pretty much suck at billiards too. But, back to the darts. I didn't know how to throw the pins and the first time I did it, It just fell to the ground. To save my face, I just carried on and threw the next round. I've won two games since that time.

I'd much rather prefer SMS marathons than running a mile. or DVD night all night until the next night. I really would win those games. But I think darts hate me. But I'll keep trying to get those goddamn 501's to zero next time!

(P.S. there has been thirty games of darts played in the class.)

Apple Denies iPhone Battery Problem!

2009-08-31T02:46:00.000-07:00

Agence France-Presse
First Posted 21:03:00 08/28/2009

US technology giant Apple rejected reports Friday that overheating batteries had caused some of its iPhone devices to explode in users' hands, blaming incidents in France on "external pressure".

French authorities have opened an investigation into the safety of the cult smartphone, following claims by several users in France and elsewhere that their iPhone screens had shattered in a dangerous manner during use.

"As of today, there has been no confirmed incident linked to battery overheating in the iPhone 3GS, and the number of cases we are investigating amounts to less than a dozen," the firm said in a statement to AFP.

"The iPhones with broken screens that we have been able to analyse so far show, in all cases, that the cracks were caused by an external pressure upon the iPhone," the company added.

Ten French consumers have come forward to say their iPhone screens exploded or cracked without explanation, according to an AFP tally, including a case in mid-August in which a teenager was said to have suffered an eye injury.

Apple's commercial director in France, Michel Coulomb, met the country's consumer affairs minister Herve Novelli on Friday to discuss the probe launched by a state safety agency following consumer complaints.

Afterwards, Novelli confirmed Apple's interim findings, but said it was too soon to apportion blame or say whether the users themselves had been responsible for the damage.

"The first results show, according to Apple management, that the iPhones weren't damaged by a battery defect leading to an explosion, but that there had been a prior shock that cracked the screens," the minister said.

He added that in the case of the eye injury, the injured party had so far refused to hand over the phone to Apple's management for testing, so it was not year clear what had caused the incident.

Apple has sold 26 million iPhones and 200 million iPods around the world.

High Tech Relationships!!

2009-08-31T02:31:00.000-07:00

Gone are the days of sweet talk. Gone are the papers of sweet words. Gone are the days of fishball dates. Welcome to the time of techno relationships! Where you can break up with just changing the status of your facebook page to "single".
.

I'm single. I don't want to be double anyway. What am I? Pregnant? Anyway, we are in the transition from letters to emails, telegrams to texts, and simple time spent together to: webcam chats. Even shopping has gone online. The povertyphone has awarded Kristen Dalton (miss USA 2009) as an online junkie by shopping online. a lot.
.

Okay so, when most goes online, everything follows. Yes, including relationships. A lot, if not many, young guys and young gals do not know how to express feelings verbally any longer. I mean, they prefer looking for mates using text messaging and adding them to their friendster or myspace or facebook or whatever. Boys, being the presumed dominant figure, do not feel comfortable around who they like, since they are accustomed to saying "I LOVE YOU" or 'I like you' over the phone, in SMS form, or over the internet. Girls on the same hand, do not know how to react or respond to the revelations, if there are any.

The Colin non-computer Day Challenge

A fellow blogger and I share same hours online. How do I know so without him in UK and I here, somewhere here? He said so in hs blog: I'm Bloginit. He promised to take sunday off and blog about it. I'll check tomorrow if he made it through the day without logging in to any website or clicking a mouse or looking at a screen. I once tried being away for a week and not being able to access the internet. It was so dull and I had to use my trmendous focusing powers (I learned when the internet connection slows down and I go: c'mon ! c'mon! haha) to survive all seven days.

FACEBOOK's contender: FACEBUKO

2009-08-28T16:41:00.000-07:00

The author of Facebuko is: Jonas Roque. A third person view of him says: "Don’t bother. He is not that interesting. He is a blogger and loves to write stuff in parody as you have all guessed. He also de-composes lyrics.
He is an ambigram artist. He also sells his artworks printed on shirts.
He is also a programmer and currently honing his brute force algorithm techniques through a masters degree in the university.
One of his ultimate dreams is to join and to win in a reality show."

"Facebuko is derived from the phrase ‘Facebook ko’ which means ‘my facebook’ in Filipino. Unlike its inspiration Facebook, this is not a social networking website but rather it posts the most talked about in the social network of the author depicted in a humorous and fun way. Facebuko is another of the many websites of Jonas Roque."

There are 17 000+ fans on his website. Including me. And how did he do it? He's a genius. A GENIUS I tell you! I pray to the gods above and below that Facebook will not sue him. Facebuko is an entertaining site. Don't block it yet....!

The PovertyPhone has been banned by DansGuardian.com

2009-08-28T00:03:00.000-07:00

This means that the blog won't be seen by the users of the software given by the said site. DansGuardian classified my blog under two categories: PORNOGRAPHIC and as a PROXY. Please review my blog if you see any pornographic content (no pictures, no videos, not even links to porno sites!) at all. I have an entry on SEXUALITY, but that does not mean that this blog is already a pornographic site. DansGuardian is used by different schools and offices around the world, and I'd appreciate it if the site does not classify weblogs like mine under wrong categories. I would like to suggest that the software use human thinking aside from automated technology. Running a word test on a blog doesn't do enough.

I'm so sorry, I made a mistake of posting OpenDNS as the filtering site. It's DansGuardian

About DansGuardian:
DansGuardian is an award winning Open Source web content filter which runs on most modern Unix-like operating systems including Linux and Mac OS X. It is a system daemon provided in source code format along with the scripts to compile it. The target users are system administrators and developers. DansGuardian is the web content filtering engine only. Many products including SmoothWall's Network Guardian use it as a central component of the software. DansGuardian provides true web content filtering by examining the actual content of the pages and headers and not simply blocking on an out-of-date-as-soon-as-released URL list like most competitors.

About Daniel Barron (CTO and Technical Director of SmoothWall):
Daniel Barron is the original author and inventor of DansGuardian and was the developer and maintainer up until just after the start of version 2.9. Since then he has been involved in the higher level direction as well as basic sysadmin of DansGuardian. He is the CTO and Technical Director of SmoothWall (smoothwall.com) and, in his spare time, the Guild Barron of Senatus Redux (senatus.nl).

About Philip Allison (Senior Developer at SmoothWall):
Philip has been working on DansGuardian since 2005 as his day job at SmoothWall. He is the principal developer and also the key representative on the DansGuardian mailing list.

Having the words: "Boobs" and "Asses" on your site does not make the site itself pornographic. Amen?

Which part of girls do guys really look at first? The Ass or the Boobs?

2009-08-26T12:00:00.000-07:00

**************WHOOPS! adult content************

But that's okay.We're all open minded right? nope. Anyway, which part of girls do guys look at first? boobs or butt? Is it puzzling??? Lemme tell you a story. Once upon a time, I was on a bus going somewhere. I was at the front seat at right side of the bus (left hand drive) so I can see the driver and the door so well. Waiting for people get on board is a little boring so I flicked on my iPod. While headbanging (silently) to the tune, I saw the driver looking at every woman's ass as they pass by him. It's a nice thing he excluded men's butts. Otherwise I'd be creeped out. Twice upon a time, I saw a man about 5'2" smoking against a wall. There were ladies around him, also smoking and passing drinks. These girls turned out to be models taking the night out. Some standing 5'8". The man, avoids eye contact and.... You guessed it! He was eyeing the jugs. But people, Guys don't look at jugs or arses, but they look at the FACE. That's right girls, and next to that is the PERSONALITY. "looks capture the eye, personality capture the heart". amen?

now, who's interested in poetry???

2009-08-26T11:27:00.000-07:00

A friend of mine shared one of his cool pieces. They can really touch something from within. (weee super cheesy!) Anyway, here goes one.

My window pane is starred with frost,
the world is bitter and cold tonight.
The moon is cruel while the wind
is like a two-edged sword to smite.

God pity all the homeless ones,
the beggars pacing to and fro.
God pity all the poor tonight,
who walks the lamp-lit aisles of snow.

My room is like a bit of june,
warm, cozy curtained fold on fold.
But somewhere, like a homeless child,
my heart is crying in the cold.

This poem was written by "aaronsmith".

Anyway, as we go on in life, I will be incorporating social issues into this blog. This is only a start.

The Art of Creating Strong Passwords-Michael Scalisi, PC World

2009-08-26T08:43:00.000-07:00

While security has never been more important than it is today, the fastest way for an IT professional to become the most despised person in the company is to start enforcing a strong password policy. A policy perceived as overbearing may cause people to write down their passwords on a sticky-note near their computers, circumventing its very purpose. Your policy will be ineffective if your users don't know how to create strong passwords that are easy to remember.
Left to their own devices, people will choose passwords that are simple for them to remember. They'll use their spouse's name, their dog's name, their favorite sports team or a recent vacation spot.
Sometimes while working on a user's computer, I'll need to log on as them following a reboot. Unfortunately, they've wandered off, not wanting to hover over the IT guy. I generally prefer not to know other people's passwords, so I usually don't ask. In this situation, I sometimes take a guess. I've been right a surprising number of times, and sometimes with people who are very powerful. It's easy. I simply glance around their offices and note what their obsessions are.
Clearly, password policies are needed.
By using these following tips, people will be able to create easy to remember passwords that follow these typical requirements: at least eight characters long and with at least 3 of the following character types: upper-case letters, lower-case letters, numbers, and special characters.

Substitute numbers for letters and vice versa. (o instead of 0, 4 instead of A, 1 instead of L, E instead of 3)
Substitute words for numbers (one, two , three...)
Combine both the of above (0ne, thr33, f1ve)
Use capitalization in random places (bLue, happY)
Use special characters ( !@#$%^&*(){}[] ) to punctuate and separate words
Create passwords out of words, numbers or phrases you'll remember
Misspell words

Using these tips, you can create memorable passwords that will be nearly impossible to guess. Here are some examples of converting memorable information into a complex password
We'll start with some easy ones:

Friday becomes frYday!
Robert becomes #robERt#
867-5309 becomes 8siX753o9

More complex passwords:

19 Peach Place becomes: 0ne9peacHpl!
I love Jill becomes: eYelov3Jill
My dog Fritz becomes MeyedogfrltZ

While some of these examples look nearly indecipherable, you can see how they're not difficult to memorize--as long as you know the originating word, number, or phrase, and the basic methodology used to create it. By educating users on how to create strong passwords, you strengthen the security of your company, and your users will benefit additionally by have safer personal experiences with online banking and social networking.

I (don't) need a new PC!

2009-08-25T11:36:00.000-07:00

Qube S3 Notebook P24,999 ($500)

Intel Dual Core T3200, 13.3" screen, Windows ,250gb hdd, 2gb ddr2,1.3mp webcam, wifi, dvdrw.

All right, so what makes the best choice in buying a computer????? First of all, the computer must be expensive. Seriously. (*gasp!). Yes, the more expensive the computer is, the better the quality. Remember to choose a PC or laptop with an updated WiFi card or else you'll end up buying an adapter. WiFi is soon to be a commodity. A freakin' commodity that is taking so long to be the norm. We need WiFi everywhere! WiFi helps us access our farms in Facebook and all other games (amounting up to a thousand) in Facebook. WiFi makes it easier for everyone to read and follow the PovertyPhone.WiFi on cellphones make it easier to upload pictures to websites. Photos for profiles are being uploaded at a steady rate of 30 000 432+ pictures per day. Its a collective photo count all over the world. Photos that are funny, stupid and embarassing. Some people just don't know when to stop.

Okay, I know I shouldn't care about what people want to post on their social network pages, after all, those are THEIR pages. But, I can't help but laugh at their photos 'coz they are taken in front of toilets, closets, and laundry. OMG as in OMG. When you take pictures, be sure that the backgrounds are also as presentable as you. Unless you consider yourself as pressentable as an unflushed toilet, then do make the toilet your background. Now, more and more people are joining social networking sites. And at the same time, online advertisments are also catching up. I would like to tell the people who are advertising in any site that customers prefer ad-less sites. Websites are visited for the services it offers, and not for the ads it may contain. Yes, at least 10 % of customers click on ads but 10% of the 10% make purchases online. They still prefer to shop in malls and groceries, and old school money back guarantees no longer work. Advertising seems to sulk these days. Really. I saw a fanpage last week and on the comments section I found home address exposed for everyone to see. Basic internet rules, people. Don't ever ever EVER disclose your home address online. You can easily be traced. I saw the comment included the house number, street number and village name. Too much for a super die hard fan. Showbiz nowadays are even obviously scripted but I'll leave it to that since I work in the industry. Instant showbusiness newcomers are: Miss VENEZUELA, Frencheska Farr and Geoff Taylor. Congratulations for making it. Now comment on this blog.

living online. Is it bad? Is it?

2009-08-23T02:44:00.000-07:00

"You shouldn't live online", says the owner of Digg. It's probably the most difficult thing a blogger should do. Living online is a norm these days. It is a choice made by anyone exposed to technology. I would suggest living a second life online instead of living in the online world. it would be extremely difficult to separate one identity from two planes: real and online. therefore, living two lives: online and real, could be advised. Its really like having multiple personalities, right? But it is a safety precaution that should be considered by the majority. Generation X, Y, and soon Z, be objective in living online. Do not be a junkie. How to know if you're an online junkie?

1. Every time you close your eyes, you still see your computer screen.

2. When you go to bed, you hesitate if you should open your e mail one last time (even if you checked 5 times during the day).

3. Every time you turn your computer off, you don't.

4. Every time you are away from you romputer, you still hear your fingers typing on the keyboard.

5. Each new friend you meet should have a social network page. If not, you consider them as losers.

6. You don't talk to anyone over the phone anymore. I'll just IM you.

Do you have those symptoms?? then you're addicted.

You are close to living online. Continiuing that behavior could get you into jeopardy. Oh come on! comment on this blog for god's sake!

Ever felt something for someone who turned out to be a major loser or bonehead?

I just did. -O, my miserable fate. O, dear pity on.... lol Last June or July, I found someone (I'd like to identify as "shred") quite interesting. So interesting that I googled Shred's mobile number. Nah. I took it. And SMS'd like a normal person does. Guess what? Shred replied six days later. What a tech f*#* up! Sure enough, we had a text message conversation (that I'm not really used to, 'coz I prefer talking to someone I like) that ended when Shred signed off to sleep --at eight in the evening! A loser. Loser. Loser. ugh. Next was when I tried calling Shred, 'coz that's the closest I can get to actual talking, Shred's mom answered. Congratulations to me! Anyway, The last live conversation I had with shred was when Shred was eating a MyPao Burger. Complete with a whole sesame seed stuck between Shred's lips. (I'd surely lick it off but, no thanks. lol) Alright, so that's my something for someone. who turned out to be a major loser. What's yours? Comment this post and get a CHANCE to know who "Shred" really is.

BTW, There's nothing wrong with not texting, sleeping at 8pm, and letting your mom hold your phone, as long as you are NOT not texting, sleeping at 8pm, and letting your mom hold your phone. Got it?

Friendster aims to set a NEW World Record!

2009-08-18T08:23:00.000-07:00

The most famous social networking site (as of posting time), Friendster, held its first ever EB (eyeball. I was also puzzled at first sight. ngak). With over a hundred million members worldwide, more than half of it belong to Asia. Less than fifty percent of the percentage belong to the Philippines. Friendster truly is a part in the history of internet and social networking. It is now considered as a very powerful tool in advetising that even Manny Villar availed of the service. Headquartered in Mountain View, California, Friendster is backed by Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, Benchmark Capital, DAG Ventures, IDG Ventures, and individual investors. Through their guidance and support, the Philippines' EB was held at the SM Mall of Asia last August 15 2009! 4:00 pm.

Every Friendster was invited to participate in the year's most anticipated EB.

And speaking of social networks, has anyone here ever tried using Facebook??????? Facebook isn't so complicated. (OH IT IS!!) I invite everyone in the range of poverty to sign up for Facebook. Friendster is not so obsolete but come on! There's no denying you get so bored with it. There are other sites like Multiply, for bloggers. Tagged, for personality freaks. Twitter, for simply -not people. And a hundred unmentionable sites all over the internet. I remember a site called uzkerredrestistrendestria.info? I'm not really sure. I think it's a site from the north of Asia. Try bloggin and you'll get the hang of it. I would like to warn everyone who stumbled into this blog, that you shouldn't live online. Do not forget that the best way to be "you" is to return calls, SMS your way to school, and hanging out at the pizza house. (Or adding 'em as friends.) Just don't spend more than five hours on the internet. Four is enough!

Since when did a party have an after-party?

2009-08-15T00:09:00.000-07:00

I was asked to organize a party about less than eight months ago. And one thing I've learned about making a party as mind blowing as possible is to get the guests involved, no matter how formal the event is. I remember getting invited to a sloppy drink dash. It totally sucked 'coz when everyone was tipsy, we just went home. So every time I get the chance to lead the pack of heavy beer and wine guzzlers, I keep them awake. Do whatever you can to keep the rhum flowing. but if you can't. Be the flow. Love it? Hey! I should make a blog on how to organize parties. (but who'd read that right? I'd just be battling David Tutera and still get nothing but crickety feedback) Okay, I'll just stick to the PovertyPhone. It's raining outside the room as I type this post. And as usual, I don't have my disposable umbrella with me. Why disposable? I buy umbrellas like a normal person. But with my Semi-Alzheimer disease I tend to treat them as one time use items like the ones from the pharmacy -- wink. speaking of Pharmacies, Haven't the prices of drugs deppreciated yet? It's been a long long time since the PovertyPhone heard that medicine prices in the Philippines are super expensive. Paging the medical labs and medicine manufacturers out there: Why can't we help each other battle poverty? Lower your prices and raise your hands where we can see them. It's extorsion when you fork excessive money from people. Especially needy people. Amen? But according to surveys, mobile phone load is the more preferred commodity over medicine. Have we all neglected our health just to send that cute SMS with a smiley? Or are we evolving to a tech dependent race that will soon take over? Maybe. But an after-party after a party is a good thing. Make sure you add that to your next event. AMEN?!

The PovertyPhone

2009-08-14T13:56:00.000-07:00

Last week, my phone has just been demoted to a PovertyPhone. Phones have been status symbols for, like, forever. It's no longer a shock to hear someone breaking down or losing his mind coz he lost an eight grand or twenty grand phone.

Have you ever lost a gadget? If yes, then this blog is totally going to cater to your needs of lasting emptiness and technological hollowness. Because I know that after your breakup with your full HD touch screen 10 megapixel video recording two way video conferencing HSDPA internet and twitter capable phone (or something like that) YOU GET TO DEMOTE YOURSELF TO USE A PovertyPhone. Congratulations ! Let's just play FarmVille.
