I really feel so relaxed and calm every time i see such a scenic view like this. It seems like i am stepping out from a dark space into a lighter platform. It helps me forget all my problems and keep all my stress away.

Jack and Jill

Posted on January 23, 2012 by adminblue

PhotobucketAdam Sandler never fail to amaze me with his films. Like all his other movies, you might find it quite non-sense at the beginning of the story but if i am going to compare “Click” to “Jack & Jill” , i don’t think it will meet someone’s expectation because the film is quite predictable though it’s still great and worth watching for. Jack & Jill focuses on the story between the Identical twins and their quite complicated relationship. Jack was quite annoyed with his Sister Jill (both played by Sandler) because of her passive-aggressiveness and clumsiness. Jill decided to stay with Jack’s family to celebrate Christmas with them. Jack is working in an advertising company and his work is at risk because one of their major clients is about to pull out their account not unless they will be able to convince Al Pacino to endorse their new product. Yeah! you heard that right! the Godfather is here and it is really quite unusual to see him cracking some jokes and punchlines here. Anyway, Al Pacino, surprisingly fell in love with Jill. This feeling suddenly became an obsession and Jack took advantage of this in order to convince the actor to endorse the Dunkin Donut’s new product , the “Dunkacino”. Jill was quite hopeless to see the right guy who will love her the way she is. I don’t want to spoil the entire story guys so you better watch it on your own risk hahaha. What will happen to Jill and Al Pacino? What will happen to Jack, will he be able to convince Al Pacino to endorse the product? Oh well, you just have to find it out. If you are an Adam Sandler fan, then you might not include this film as one of his bests because, to be prank, it is considered as one of the worst films of 2011 but still very ideal to watch. Check the trailer Below;

Configuring Gmail to Microsoft Outlook 2010

Posted on January 21, 2012 by adminblue

I just tried to configure my Gmail in Microsoft Outlook 2010 last night and I was able to set it properly. Actually I was aiming to use my Yahoo email, however, the POP and Forwarding feature of Yahoo has been disabled not unless you’re going to avail their premium service. Fortunately, Gmail is still offering their free Email Forwarding features, making it possible for me to configure my gmail account in my email client.

Well first, you just have to Enable your POP through your Webemail . Sign in to Gmail. Gmail has a new interface but unlike Yahoo, you can revert it back to its old look. Anyway, just look for the gear icon on the upper right of the webpage (). Go to “Settings” , click the Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab.

PhotobucketTick the Enable for All Mail or Enable for Mail that Arrives From Now.

No open your Microsoft Outlook 2010. If this is the first time that you are going to configure your email client that most likely, you’ll see this Start Up wizard thing right after you open the application.

PhotobucketJust click on “Next“, On the Account Configuration Page, just tick the “Yes” option and then click on Next again.

PhotobucketIt will then prompt you to another page. You can configure it automatically but I am not 100% sure that it will work. Much better if you choose the “Manually Configure server settings or additional server Types” instead.

Photobucket

Now, it will prompt you to the Internet Email Setting Page. Just Fill in all the necessary information. Input your display name under “Your Name” field, input your gmail address on the “email address field”. Under Server Information, input the following details:

  • Account Type – POP3 ,
  • Incoming Mail Server -  pop.gmail.com
  • Outgoing Mail Server – smtp.gmail.com

Leave the “Require logon using Secure Password Authentication (SPA)” unchecked. Click on the “More Settings” button on the lower right. it will then prompt you to another small window.

PhotobucketCheck the box next to My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication and select Use same settings as my incoming mail server.

PhotobucketGo to “Advanced” tab. Check the box This server requires an encrypted connection (SSL). Input “995″ for Incoming Server (POP 3) . Input “587″ for Outgoing . Then select TLS from the drop-down menu next to Use the following type of encrypted connection:.Click “OK”.

Conduct a self test by clicking the “Test Account Settings“. After receiving a congratulatory message, you can send a message to your own email address to ensure if there’s no problem with the “Sending and Receiving”

Okay, your all done! Enjoy accessing your Gmail on your Email client!

Thank you to Cavitex

Posted on January 19, 2012 by adminblue

I think i should be very grateful enough that we have the CAVITEX (Manila-Cavite Expressway) because it makes it easier for me to commute and to reach my working place earlier than what i am always expecting. So far, i never been late to my work and i am planning to keep that standard for a long time. We were assigned into a “7am to 4pm” shift for this whole month of January and I used to go out 3 hours ahead of my schedule. I woke up every 3 am (thanks to my alarm clock who help me manage my time well LOL) and start preparing my things. I prepare the breakfast myself and fix my own clothes too. If you’re going to take the normal route then you might have to spend 2 and half hours traveling especially if there’s a heavy traffic along your way. I don’t have my own car and I don’t know how to drive either so i really have no choice but to commute and bear with all that sacrifices. However, if you’re going to take the CAVITEX route, most likely, you’ll cut your travel time into half. What a great convenience indeed though i am quite worrying that they might close the expressway temporarily because of the on going construction. I’m not really sure what the construction is all about but it seems that it is a big one knowing that they hired a lot of workers just to fix the entire road. I saw some boulders and tractors working on the other lane of the expressway , spreading asphalt and cement on the surface. Not really sure if they are using diamond saw blades for the road but it really seems to be a major project. I just wish that my schedule will not be ruined by this on going expressway renovation.
