I have been longing for the Asus Google Nexus 7 2nd Gen for a month now. The fact that it's being pulled out from stores to make way for the HTC Nexus 9 makes it more valuable. I have been looking for the 32GB Nexus 7 around SM North Edsa for two weeks, and I've only seen two stores. It was really frustrating when the day came that I would buy one, and the stores weren't selling them anymore. Still, I chanced upon Gigahertz and miraculously, they have one last stock.

It wasn't a new unit, it was already opened. I was going to point it out but I was too excited to have my hands on it. It was a little disappointing tho that it was starting up really slow and the kuya had to force shut down and restart just to make it work. I was already having second thoughts on buying an opened unit. I tried to check the unit, but the store didn't have internet connection. It wasn't lagging, since there were only the preloaded apps, and no internet to update the operating system. Since it was already late, we just bought it. I told myself to just check it our when I got home.

I updated the OS from 12MN-3AM. I was able to update it to Kitkat 4.4.4 when I started downloading apps like Twitter, Tumblr, KakaoTalk, and so on. It was when I open an app that it suddenly just crashed.  I started restarting it, but it was on loop on the Google logo. I did several factory resets but nothing happened. I came to the conclusion that it was a defective unit. I decided to consult online sources, but it being an "old" nexus, it's microsite has been taken down by Google.

So, anyway, I went back to Gigahertz after my 4PM class. I told them I was returning the unit and that I wanted my money back. They asked why, and I explained that the unit was defective. They asked someone to try to fix it first, told me that I can get a new unit in a few hours, if only I could just sit down. So, I did. I patiently waited, but I didn't have a Nexus 7 at the end of the day. Other branches don't have the model I bought. I told them, well then, give me back my money. They said they can't because it still need to be approved. Approved by what? In what case can it be disapproved? Surely, I should get my money back since, well obviously, I wasn't able to get my money's worth. They told me that the policy is first, try to change the unit, BUT YOU DON'T HAVE IT, so, maybe you can buy something else of the same price, BUT I DON'T WANT TO. I am buying an Asus Google Nexus 7, 32GB because it is now being pulled out from the market. I payed for it, and that's what I want. Why are they telling me what to get for my money? So, they told me to calm the shit down and promised that they will call their supplier and promised that I will get my unit within the week.

What has Gigahertz SM North Edsa violated?
1. It is printed on the receipt that there is an outright 7 day return/exchange for defective units. Which can not be according to RA 7394 Consumer Act of the Philippines.
2. It is the choice of the buyer if he/she wants a refund or an exchange. The store can not insist that they exchange the unit. RA 7394.

I am just really disappointed that most stores insist they make money. And I am quite disappointed that because of this, most Filipinos would think they don't have the right to return or exchange defective goods.

Nevertheless, I just want my Nexus 7 on Thursday as they promised. And whether or not I get it, I will make sure to file a complaint in DTI.

RIP, Freedom of Speech & Freedom of Expression

[A/N] Ipinupusta ko ang limang taong kasama ko ang url na http://suicidalfoot.blogspot.com. I moved my blog in a not so very secret place, and here goes nothing...

I have read most of the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012, but not all of it. I may be wrong and I apologize in advance to whoever might get offended with this post.

We are in the digital age. We use our computers and phones to communicate, share, and discover. Facebook and Twitter have both became powerful tools of information dissemination. Aside from products and services, and events, and people, politic propaganda has also reached the said social networking site. Supporters of politicians bash each other. Parody accounts humiliated and branded a lot of corrupt and obviously incompetent politicians. But this "law" is beyond Facebook status and Twitter updates.

I am sure that at one point in our lives we have illegally downloaded copyrighted music, photos, videos; and some probably illegally shared their illegally acquired media. It is not that we want to harm industries that are concerned. When I was first introduced to the internet, I did not know that I was doing something illegal. I might have downloaded gigabytes of illegal media before I found out it was wrong. But, I could not do much about it. I did not know how to buy songs online, or why the need to pay for hard copies of magazines that had scans. And, how about our anime? Should I fly to Japan and buy them, and there won't be any subtitles, too?! And besides, it's already uploaded, I might as well take advantage of it.

Still, the Government is right: sharing copyrighted files is illegal.

I have been ranting for 5 years know, about school, about life, sometimes about the Government, too. I express my opinions and my raged thoughts. I believe it is my freedom to say what I want in my blog. It is, afterall, my blog. I am not asking my readers to agree with me. I am just starting an argument in their minds, to start them thinking on their own. I fuel their interest.

I would understand censoring Facebook and Twitter. This may be hard for me to say, but, I guess it makes sense. A lot of people will be influenced if someone said something in FB and Twitter. Worse part is, most of these people would not even know the whole story. Because it is a social networking site, you most like scroll through it, LIKE it, or RETWEET it, and then move on to the other topics shared. Because of the fast-paced online life in social networking sites, we either agree or disagree, most of the time without question.

But, a Cybercrime Prevention Law is not the answer to this. Whichever angle you look at it, this is an oppression of the Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Expression. Why not just tell people to be informed first before liking a page or a post, or before sharing a propaganda photo. (Okay, look who's talking, the girl who didn't even read the act in it's entirety).

How about cybersex? Seriously, guys. Do we still need to talk about this? If women and kids are being sold online, then, yes, that is obviously illegal. I'm sure there's a law for that already. But, what about two knowing, willing people (gender sensitive)? I think it is my choice to send a nude picture to my boyfriend if he asked for it. If I was offended we could talk about it like grown-ups. If I was harassed, why did I even have him as my boyfriend in the first place, right? Anyway, you say, what if they are strangers who just met online. One time they agreed to do webcam, then suddenly, the other party is jerkin' off. Well, I say, close that shit and delete that person from your network. You know, you have the power to block people from whatever accounts you are using. That's the magic of internet, baby.

I think it is time for us to grow up. This should not be such a big issue. It doesn't need a genius to figure out that this Cybercrime Prevention Law is just another excuse to use taxpayers' money.

1. There is not enough love. Meaning, hindi niyo naman talaga mahal isa't-isa. Siguro lonely lang kayo, or trip, or tanga-tanga lang.

2. There's no trust / loyalty. Either, naglolokohan lang talaga kayo, or talagang walang tiwala.

3. There's no time for a relationship. Busy-busy'han. Iba ang priorities mo, which can be smart.

4. There's someone better.

5. "I am not happy." Hindi ka kontento. Hindi ka masaya.

6. (time in relationship) IS NOT PROPORTIONAL TO (strength of relationship) Hindi gumaganda ang relationship n'yo over time.


Hindi porket nagka-boyfriend(girlfriend) ka na ng lima and you're still 19, ibig sabihin bitch ka na, slut ka na.

Mag-boboyfriend ka kasi masaya ka with that person. 'Yung maiintindihan ka niya. 'Yung kaya ka niyang alagaan. 'Yung lahat ng kailangan mo, gagawin niya 'yung best nya para ibigay sayo.

Makikipaghiwalay ka kasi hindi ka masaya. Kasi andami mo ng reklamo sa buhay mo. Kasi hindi niya kayang intindihin yung mga kailangan mo. Kasi masyadong naaabuso yung pagmamahal mo para sakanya. Kasi wala kang space para maging boss. Kasi hindi mo kayang magdesisyong mag-isa, or, hindi ka pwedeng magdesisyong mag-isa. Kasi wala kang side of the story, sya lang at sya lang ang bida. MAKIKIPAGHIWALAY KA, KASI THERE IS SOMEONE BETTER THAN HIM/HER. Someone who will love you no matter what. Kasi meron pa 'yung ibabato sayo ng universe at sasabihing, "ayan, sayo yan, wala ng pipigil sainyo!"

Sana maging open minded ang lahat. At sana, wag na tayo mag-deny. Kung hindi ka masaya, hindi ka masaya. Wag na yung aarte pa na: Hindi ako masaya, pero mahal ko kasi siya. CHAKA! Kung mahal ka niya, masaya ka dapat!

BADVIBES.

Bago pa lumaki ang list na to, ippost ko na. Lagi ko lang kasing nakakalimutan.

1. Walang load. Kung may kasama naman ako, at may load sya / sila, nakiki-text ako. Kung may net ako, magte-text naman ako via chikka or magtxt.com. Pero, kung walang kasama, wala pang net connection, eh di, sorry.

2. 'Di ko na-receive. Totoong nangyayari 'to dahil mabilis mapuno inbox ko. Paano nga naman ako magre-reply sa message na di ko na-receive? Duh?

3.TULOG. Weird ang sleeping pattern ko. May mga oras lang talagang bigla-biglang tulog pala ako. Sige nga, mag-text nga kayong tulog.

4. Busy. Meaning nanonood, naglalaro, naliligo, naglalaba... Basta, sigurado, hindi nag-aaral pero may ginagawang iba.

5. May kasama/kausap. I-contact nyo sina Marcgell, Chan, Nica, roommates ko. Baka kasama ko sila, kausap, kakwentuhan, kaya 'di ko napapansin na may nagtetext

6. Ayoko sa issue mo. Kung feeling ko ang chaka lang ng pag-uusapan natin, na mababadtrip lang ako sayo, 'di kita rereply'an.

7. Ayoko sayo. Kung sayo mismo nababadtrip ako, bat kita rereply'an?

Kung every five minutes nag-ttweet naman ako, tas di ko kayo nirereply'an, eh di, either 6 or 7. K?

Kbye.

I am not a Block B fan at all. Honestly, I don't like their management, and I don't like them. It's an unfair decision, I know. But, this is actually the first time I voiced that out.
I have numerous fandoms: Big Bang, 2ne1, U-KISS, FT Island, MBLAQ, and lately, INFINITE... Controversies arise every single day from all corners of the show business world. Everybody should know that. I hate it when rumors about my fandoms are spread. But, what hurts most are bad news about them.

A few weeks ago (I may be wrong), Block B became famous because of an interview in Thailand. I don't know the whole story, but the thing is, they offended Thai media. They, together with their management, immediately apologized via their website and other means. I respect the smart actions made after the incident.

Then came the news that Block B's maknae, P.O., having been bullied online, went into depression and was hospitalized. My twitter and tumblr was spammed with encouraging words for P.O. and the whole Block B. I respect that, too. And, actually, I support that. Yes, P.O. of Block B, please, get well soon. Block B, don't feel too bad, the KPop fangirls are here for you. I read one post on tumblr saying something like, "it's not about what fandom you're in, if one fandom's crying, you grieve with them." I know that. I know how it feels when a member leaves the group, whatever the reasons are, I believe I know
