Still space for a return to blogging?

I’ve put promises left and right. I tried to motivate myself and my fellow writers by leaving strong words whenever I had the chance to grasp them and utilize them on any of the blogs we command. But, is there really any space to return to blogging? For me? For my fellow Pinoy Teens Contributors? For the Philippine Teens Media?

A lot of things have been bothering me, well, hindering me from doing any blogging at all. This includes but is not limited to the people in real life who consume a lot of the time that used to be dedicated for blogging. I’m not blaming them or anything, I’m pointing out that I need to be more disciplined about my schedule. Also, the schedule at which time I go to bed.

Can I still make it into the blogging scene? [Read more…]

9:15:15 PM GMT+08:00 – As written in DayOne.app

Hello there!

It’s been some time again since I last wrote inside you. I’ve been busy lately. Yep, nonsense stuff again. One of my *best friends* is said to publish an article at Pinoy Teens very soon. It’s one of those posts that I would learn to appreciate but of course, dislike due to their negative tone, etcetera. It’s going to be *yet another wakeup call* she reveals. Yet she won’t disclose any further details until the post is published for all the world to see. Or should I say or the small audience of Pinoy Teens.

Pinoy Teens is having its poorest run ever. Even worse than our debut year. I wish not to talk about it any further in this entry of mine though as I’m sure that I’ve got lots of room to discuss this matter once she posted her opinion on this subject.

### My iPod touch finally’s got some good use.

Not that I have regret purchasing my iPod touch – I haven’t at all. It’s just now though that I have unleashed my iPod’s full potential. I’ve got a couple of good games on it now, and a few productivity apps I just can’t live without anymore.

Here’s a list of the highlight apps that are stored on my iPod touch at the moment:

**Games**

* Sky Gamblers: Air Superiority
* Cut the Rope Original/Experiment
* Sentinel 3: Homeworld
* Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery
* Twin Go!
* Air Tycoon 2
* Boogle
* Bejeweled
* Angry Birds (Complete)
* Tetris (EA)
* Contre Jour
* Burn the Rope Original/World
* Inotia 3
* Temple Run **like duh**
* Slice It!
* Fruit Ninja
* Doodle Jump
* Chocolate Tycoon
* Tiny Tower
* Glow Hockey 2
* Airport Mania 2

I’ve got a lot of other games in my iTunes library. Unfortunately I don’t have the privilege of storing all of them on my iPod touch because it’s just an 8GB one (6.5GB usable) I do swap out some games here and there.

Other games that I have in iTunes are:

* FIFA Soccer 12
* NOVA 2
* Asphalt 6: Adrenaline
* Sonic & Sega All-Star Racing
* Death Rally
* Ragdoll Blaster 3
* World of Goo
* Plants vs Zombies
* Defender Chronicles
* Sentinel 2
* League of Evil 2
…and a few more.

In terms of productivity, these are the apps that I’m making most use of:

* Day One
* Omnifocus
* Elements
* Evernote
* Reeder

As you can see, games pretty much dominate my iPod touch. You might be wondering how I managed so many downloads, so many games etcetera. I owned an iPod touch about a year ago. I lost that one though. I bought many of these games originally for my first iPod touch. Luckily though, I can reuse them on this other device of mine that I now have.

Other games have been purchased just a couple of weeks back. I also bought games and apps over the course of the year – without an iPod touch – whenever they’d go on .99 cent sales or if they turn free for a day or so.

I hope that tomorrow will be a better day. I have silently told myself that I need to get something started, but I don’t know – let’s hope that whatever my best friend is going to come up with in her post will be of help to me just as she tried to convince me now.

For now? I’ll be off reading Percy Jackson and the Last Olympian for the second time around. Yeah. I’m that hooked and addicted to it. I tried reading The Hunger Games though but immediately dismissed the book. The way it’s been written doesn’t suit my style and most of the content – even early on – sound like they are grammatically incorrect. I might be wrong though, but reading just the first couple of chapters already gave me an headache.

Test post with iA Writer

I guess it’s about time I’ve found my way back into writing something. I’ve literally spent the last couple of days doing pretty much nothing. It felt like I had another burn out. Why? I don’t know.

There are a lot of things that I am very excited about right now. Lots in store for the coming weeks! There is so much to write about and I’ll see it to it that with the help of iA Writer and ByWord, I manage to ease the load I’m carrying. *I’ve got so many pending articles at the moment*. This post isn’t even one of them.

I spent the last two days fiddling with my iPod touch (4G) and watching UEFA Champions League matches. My body feels kinda empty at the moment and begs for a bed – but there is none in sight right now. I have to get going and write. I want to love writing again, but words just don’t want to love me back.

## Cydia found it’s way to my iTouch

Speaking about fiddling with my iPod touch: I have finally decided to jailbreak it – and as it stands, the jailbreak went fairly well. The only few bumps came up when I tried add some sources which didn’t went too well. Fancy I had to wait until last night ’til I was able to add my sources and install packages of my liking.

The best thing yet to happen to any of my iOS devices took place last night – gsPhone for iPhone/iPod touch was installed flawlessly. I even got my Pokemon Leaf Green on it with all the saved data that I was playing with here on my Mac.

### Mac + VMWARE + Windows 7 + Visual Boy Advance = Pokemon LOL!

It might sound crazy, but I installed Windows via VMWare Fusion on this Mac just to play Gameboy Advance games. Yes, I know that there are alternatives for the Mac, but I just feel at home playing classics like *Pokemon* from a Windows point of view, plus, the Visual Boy Advance for Mac is no longer supported on Lion – not to forget the turbo mode feature.

### Messi beats the hell out of Leverkusen

I have pretty much enjoyed myself the past days to my hearts content, let alone that disturbing 7-1 defeat of Leverkusen at the hands of mighty mouse Messi and Barcelona which spoiled my day. Disturbing, because I’m an avid follower of, no, not Leverkusen, but the Bundesliga in general and it sucks to get beaten by such a margin.

I’ll be working on my other articles after this one, don’t worry – I won’t forever bug you with nonsense like these.

## Things to write about:

– NatGeo: *Inside Malacañang*
– Globe: *Run4Home*
– Mulat Pinoy: *Social Networth Workshop part 2 & 3*
– Introductory post on http://coolintongue.com **must visit**
-Post about *Amber Lily*
– Cebu City: *San Remigio Beach Club*

> Of course, there are many more articles *that may not be so notable for you* that I have to write about. These are just some bullets that I believe might be of interest for you. Just in case any of them did catch your attention, stay tuned and watch out for them to be published at http://pinoyteens.net

As you can see, I still have a very busy afternoon ahead of me, and I just can’t help but write random things like these to set the tone. Random scraps like this post help me in getting myself warmed up for a writing-marathon so to say.
