iPhone 5

PROS:

• Larger screen - Going from a 3.5-inch screen to a 4-inch screen isn't that big a jump, not when Samsung's current bestseller is a 4.8-incher. But the extra screen real estate means more icons on the home screen, more navigation options in apps and HD movies shown without the black bar "letterbox" effect.
• 4G LTE connectivity - Even if you don't know what 4G refers to, you probably know that it means faster data on phones. "LTE," another admittedly mysterious term, is the best flavor of 4G, delivering data so fast it can feel like you're on a cable modem. Apple is the last smartphone maker to join the 4G party, and it's about time it did.
• Better battery life - The trouble with 4G LTE is that it tends to be a battery drainer. But Apple seems to have solved that problem, and even managed to give the iPhone 5 better battery life than its predecessor, too. Battery life is Apple's stock and trade: The company will sacrifice features to keep battery life long, but in the iPhone 5, there doesn't appear to be a real downside.
• Less glass - It's hard to find an iPhone user who hasn't smashed their screen at least once, so it was a little bit bizarre when Apple decided, with the iPhone 4, to give it a second pane of glass, on the back. Yes, it made the phone astoundingly beautiful, but it meant more to smudge and yes, more to shatter. With the iPhone 5, we return to the more sane world of just one glass pane.
• An iPhone 5 (left) shown next to the thicker iPhone 4S.
• Thinner and lighter - This may not be apparent from the presentation, but take it from me, when you hold it, the phone feels impressively thin and impressively light, especially given the larger screen and longer battery life.
• Faster chip - While most of us mere mortals, me included, don't need to worry about the processor power of our smartphones, gamers who yearn for console-like experiences will appreciate the improved processing and graphics might of the iPhone 5's brand-new A6 chip. And the rest of us might notice that photo and video processing, and everyday app usage, have gotten a tad quicker.

CONS:

• The Lightning Connector.  I know it was meant to have an ‘easier’ connection.  This connection does not provide a quicker recharge time or any other very dramatic benefit.  It seems silly that I will have to ‘rebuy’ accessories to fit my iPhone5.  Don’t chuck your current accessories.  You can buy a $30 adapter to connect to the old 30 pin accessories.  If you can get your hand on the adapter, BUY IT, they have been on back order since the announcement of the iPhone5.
• Ear phone jack on the bottom.  This may not be a pro or con, but for me, I’m used to having the ear buds attach to the top.
• The phone can get hot after 20 minutes of intense screen activity (facetime/movie).  However, it shouldn’t be too bad if you have a case for the phone.
• Unlimited data.  Many cell phone carriers are phasing out their ‘unlimited’ data plans.  I’m currently on the unlimited data plans.  I was looking at the baseline 2GB share anything Verizon plan.  I have not used more than 560 MB during a month while I was out of town without wireless.  Look at your data and decide if you want to give up your ‘unlimited’ data plan.

Get the look.

Lesson learned

NIDA

"I want to go to this and this and this....!" 

When I was a child, my mom would usually ask me where I want to go when I grow up. She told me that she would love to go somewhere she could relax. During that time, I really don't get her point of going somewhere and lay down to get long sleep.  But now, I can understand her side. When i finished college and have stable life, I would bring my mom to the place where she wants. By that time, I think she's old. I want her to be happy. In that certain place, she could do whatever she wants.I'll make sure she is going to enjoy it. I don't care how much it will cost me.  I'll pay for it. I love my mom so much that it would take forever to explain it. <3 Mama, I love you.


The title of this post is NIDA because it is my mom's name. :)

If I would be ask to describe her, it would be in a bullet form.

• She loves her family a lot.
• She is a loyal friend.
• A diligent young lady
• Artistic
• Smart
• Friendly and cheerful
• "BALIW" :)
• Dianne loves photography.
• I love her so much. I consider her as my sister.
• Dianne is in love with the City Hunter Guy-
• Definitely, An explorer
• Goal-oriented

SHE IS ONE OF A KIND. :)

If you would ask her to describe herself on Facebook, it would be like this:

"I may not be the prettiest, smartest, or strongest, but at least I’m me and I

 don’t pretend to be someone I’m not."

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH YHANG:)

LAUGHING OUT LOUD! :)

HAPPY MARDZ's DAY!:)

"Friendship is a treasure that always help us overcome any kind

of difficulty, Friendship is a comfort for, somehow which 

always understand worries and emotions, Friendship is a 

blessing because it teaches the way to live"

It's been 4 years since I met my best buddies and best sisters. It was 22nd of August year 2009 when we named our group "MARDZ". Mardz stands for M-Merland, A-Ana, R-Rozette, D-Dianne and Z-iZza. The name of our group is very unique that's why we all love it.

During  our high school days, we love to spend free time together. We usually make our projects, assignments and other school works together. Every time we do our school works together, Dianne would suggest to do it at her place. Dianne's parents were very supportive. They always make sure that we are safe and we have something to eat. :)

I miss those days when we would just spend time together doing nothing. I miss the times  when we would share stories and laugh at each other's experience. We love to talk. Our friendship is full of stories. Friendship that would last a life time. I miss them so much.

Nowadays, we barely see each other. All of us are busy spending our time studying. But we try our best to see each other during our free time. Every time we see each other, it's amazing. I wish we could spend more time together like we usually do before. But I know and understand why we can;t do that. I know that even if we don't see each other frequently, deep in our hearts we are together:)

BEHIND THE CAMERA

Many things happen behind the lenses of the camera. If I’m going to take the path leading to the world of mass communication, I’d like to practice any career that is behind the camera. It could be a segment producer, a researcher, an advertiser or even an assistant.

I like to see my name on the credits at the end of a certain show because it’s the only way people that I know will recognize me. Any career that’s behind the camera would be perfect for me because I know I can prove myself in this field. I don’t want to end up a mess reporter who couldn’t speak for herself on TV because she’s scared.

Life?

How can you say you’re contented with your life? How do you deal with it? Many of us think that life is unfair. Life maybe hard but not unfair. I believe that we make our own future. We are the ones to be blame to whatever may happen to our lives.

                Human needs are unlimited while our resources are limited. That’s why we suffer from scarcity. We have plenty of needs but few treasures to dig. There’s a saying “Be contented of what you have but don’t be contented with what you are.” I believe that if only people will use whatever they have in their hands to improve their lives. There’s no need for us to suffer and have a hard living. We only need to work hard so that we can eat and be able to survive life. We badly need to improve our daily living as well as ourselves. It is our foundation to achieve our dreams.

                A person is useless when he is not doing anything to change his life. Nobody will change your life for you. It is your obligation. It is only you who can help yourself. Everything is in your hands. So you must take a step and create an action towards life improvement.

                Remember: you don’t need to have all the money and power in this world. All you need is faith in God. You do the things you need to accomplish and He will find His way to your heart to help you.

I’m A Dengue Survivor!

Headaches, on and off fever and body pain; these are just few symptoms of Dengue fever. Doctors compare these sign similar to flu detection signs. People may get confuse with this just like what happened to me.
                Last July 1, 2012, I woke up feeling so heavy. My head aches so bad that it made me cry. I feel cold and can’t move my body from the bed. So I tried my best to lessen the pain I feel by waking up my dad. He also did his best to help and comfort me. Then my mom helped me too. The next day, nothing’s changed. I feel the same way again. I drink paracetamol every 4 hours to stop my headache and fever. I thought it was just a “normal fever” that I used to have whenever my birthday is coming. But I was wrong, definitely wrong about this.
                Four days later, I’m still sick. So my mom decided to see a doctor and ask for help. Our family doctor advised me to have my blood check and have Dengue NS1 test. So I did as Dr. Sandoval said. We went to The Medical City Hospital for the CBC and Dengue NS1 test. We waited 3 hours for the result. I was so nervous that instance. I was praying that my WBC and platelet counts are normal. I said to myself that the result is negative. Unfortunately, it was positive. I cried and broke down. But my mom told me that whatever happens, she’ll be on my side.
                I was confined 5 days at TMC. The doctors did their best to save me from Dengue. Luckily, I survived. I am a dengue survivor! I was so happy that I want to go home that moment.
                Many people don’t take dengue cases seriously. For what happened to me, Dengue is fatal. It could change your life the moment you have it.  You won’t know it until you have it. It’s very hard to have Dengue. Even it is harder after you recover from it. So I advise all for you to take good care of yourself. Drink plenty of water and have a good rest. Avoid the places where mosquitos lay their eggs. Be aware of your surroundings. Lastly, always ask guidance from Him. He’s the only one you can run to. He did help me so He will help you too. I’m  writing this because I don’t want other people to suffer from Dengue.
