I'm Stuck with the 5800 xpressmusic!

Author: Mr. Poindexter // Category: , , , , , , , ,

it seems i really don't have any choice but to root for the 5800.. i just wish i won't get a defective unit. hehehehe. my real worry is what if i got a defective unit then problems will show up after the first week of purchasing?. stores won't replace my unit. but still fixes it. i really wish i wont get a defective one...me and my mom went to the mall today... we watched the Yaya and Angelina spoiled brat movie (because they only got the ugly truth, surrogates, and i forgot the other one.) hehehhe the movie was fun... angelina looks scary.. especially during the intro. i felt like i was watching a horror movie instead of a comedy. some scenes are corny, or not funny at all. but if you want to get little laughs,... you should watch the movie.

DEEP 3D Mobile Game

Author: Mr. Poindexter // Category: , , , , , , , , ,
i'm starting to get addicted to this game. it has really nice interface. everything is cool. i've had this game before but i dont use it a lot. i never knew this game could be this exciting. in DEEP you get to play a pilot of a submarine. it's not like any other game that you need to follow a story... in here, it's all you. you can customize your character if you want. when i first tried it, i thought it was hard because of the controls. you get to press down for you to go up and vice versa. the first mission i did was to catch and kill 5 "nautilusses" (i don't know if i got the spelling right.) they're huge animals, they look like snails. then you'll be paid for every mission you accomplish. there are shops in every station you visit. now i'm finding a harpoon that will paralyse my targets. if you're reading this... you should try this game.

here are some screen shots:






I forgot where i downloaded this game, but try searching it on google or yahoo, you can easily find it.

Your love something I can't pretend

Baby I'm Back x 3

Mobile Hunting Yesterday!

Author: Mr. Poindexter // Category: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

so we went to robinson's place dasmariƱas... it's not a great mall but uh you know it still caters basic needs so it's okay.. i was about to deposit money but the bank is closed. so then i went to sm nearby... although god knows why will i go there. i visited some mobile shops. and bumped into a shining new mobile shop with the very attractive name of CELLBOY though it's obvious that it has been derived from the movie hellboy.. even the font is the same as in the movie... the interior looks good because it has the combination of black and red... when i'm browsing to what they sell.. (ofcourse im gonna look for my baby e63.) they sell e63 for like 11,450? im not sure... so it's kinda low...i wasn't able to spot my other choice which is the 5800 xpressmusic. my mom bought a headset for her 7610 phone.. the headset has good sound, but not to be compared from the ones from bose. they claim that the headset was original, not class a or something. but i haven't seen any nokia headset of that type ever in my life. the cord was so thin. and the remote is so small. she bought for like 300 pesos. so we went to other shops. i was surprised to see the nokia 5530, and also i was so surprised by it's smallness. i was opting for that before but not after i see it. im still gonna go for the e63 but my mother likes the 5800.... that's why my mind is busy weighing the two.

nokia E63!!!

Author: Mr. Poindexter // Category: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,



i've been drooling for an E63 ever since it's release. and now, i'm saving money for it. yesterday i was on my way home when a girl sat beside me... with earphone plugs... i was so surprised to see that her plugs are connected on a phone i really really want. i was so feeling envy that time.. with all the keypad lights flashing in front of me. the way she texts... i can't stop looking at it. waaah... i got the nokia 3600 slide now... i bought it last may 2009.... i don't know why i wasn't contented with what i have.... i want to be contented... you know... it's really hard. i always check the price of the nokia e63 everyday.... just to be updated with the price... right now the cheapest e63 is being sold for ten thousand pesos. i got to put more coins on my piggy bank.... lol. ciao for now. we're gonna go to robinsons to deposit moneyon my account so that i can buy that frickin e63... my hands are itchin' you see? hehehehe

My love for McDonald's Frenchies!!!

Author: Mr. Poindexter // Category:

i've always been inlove with mcdonald's french fries... i definitely order one every time i go there. so here's an article made By JOHN MILLER, Associated Press Writer John Miller, Associated Press Writer – about mcdonald's french fries.

KIMBERLY, Idaho – From the fields of Idaho to tasting rooms in suburban Chicago, potato farmers, researchers and industry representatives are in the midst of an elusive hunt: finding a new spud for McDonald's french fries.

Seven years have passed since the fast-food giant last added a new U.S. potato variety to three previously approved for its golden fries, something that both irks and motivates potato researchers who hope their progeny will be next.

Because McDonald's buys more than 3 billion pounds of potatoes annually across the globe, it has the power to dictate whether a variety sprouts or winds up in the less-lucrative supermarket freezer's crinklecut bin — or worse yet, banished to become dehydrated taters.

"It's a card game where McDonald's holds nine-tenths of the cards," said Jeanne Debons, the Potato Variety Management Institute's director.

The institute was established in 2005 by the Idaho, Oregon and Washington potato commissions to handle licensing and royalties from new potatoes developed at universities and federal research facilities in the three states.

An unwritten ambition: to get new potato varieties looked at by McDonald's.

The company still relies on the Russet Burbank for many of its fries, even though this 130-year-old variety takes an eternity to mature, gulps water and falls victim to rots and other diseases, meaning farmers must douse it in chemicals. Socially conscious investors want McDonald's to help cut pesticides to protect the environment and farmworker health.

Still, coming up with a spud stud is no mean feat: One of the last varieties McDonald's tested, the Premier Russet, has a pedigree that on paper resembles the lineage of a thoroughbred race horse, with ancestors like the buff-skinned Penobscot of Maine. The company decided it was an also-ran.

"It has a smaller starch cell," Mitch Smith, McDonald's agricultural products director, recalls of tasters' conclusions about the Premier. "You get a smoother texture, it does affect the way it eats."

Other U.S. potato-growing regions are also on the case. In July, researchers and industry reps meeting in Sturgeon Bay, Wis., home to the U.S. Potato Gene bank, discussed new sustainable varieties — all to help McDonald's advertise that potatoes they serve are produced with less chemicals and water.

To be sure, McDonald's has increased its use of other potato varieties in the last decades.

Early-maturing, Canadian-bred Shepody potatoes go into many of its fries sold in August, September and October. But those potatoes don't store well, so by November, Ranger Russet fries hit the fast-food joints. And better-storing Umatilla Russets — the last U.S. potato variety approved by McDonald's back in 2002 — fill the bellies of consumers from late December until the end of February.

From then on, Russet Burbanks, with robust storage qualities, consistent texture and taste, remain Mickey D's mainstay, though this variety brought West by Massachusetts botanist Luther Burbank in 1875 is costly to produce.

Across America, the Russet Burbank has a declining market share, but is still no small potatoes. In 2008, Idaho potato farmers planted 57 percent of their total acres with Russet Burbanks, while the variety accounted for 41 percent across the eight biggest potato-producing states.

Allan French, a globe-trotting J.R. Simplot Co. manager who oversees potato varieties that feed the Boise-based company's sprawling fry-processing empire stretching from Idaho to China, says finding a replacement has been elusive.

"We're always looking for the silver bullet to replace the Russet Burbank," French said.

Coming up with a reliable new variety takes years. The Premier Russet emerged from the breeder's greenhouse in the early 1990s, but wasn't released for commercial growers until 2006. Along the way, it underwent storage trials at facilities near the tiny farming town of Kimberly.

Here, University of Idaho researchers stack experimental varieties in refrigerated stalls, testing everything from sprout resistance to shrinkage. And in the test kitchen next door, storage scientist Tina Brandt fries up new varieties, to see how they stack up to Russet Burbanks, which tend to develop unsightly dark splotches that crop up on fry ends.

"There have been a lot of fantastic varieties that have come along over the years, but for one reason or another — shrinkage in storage, disease resistance, texture — they haven't been adopted," Brandt laments.

At the McDonald's campus in Oak Brook, Ill., perfume-wearing intruders are shooed from tasting rooms, to prevent contamination of french fries samples randomly pulled from restaurants around America for monthly scrutiny by representatives of the company's three main suppliers: J.R. Simplot, Canada's McCain Foods Ltd., and Omaha-based Con-Agra Foods Inc.

These days, however, taste, texture and golden-brown appearance aren't everything.

In March, three activist investor groups won an agreement from McDonald's to promote best practices to cut pesticide use by its American potato suppliers.

So far, the groups say the company is doing a "great job" adhering to its commitments.

McDonald's Smith says he's satisfied growers are already working efficiently and sustainability, largely because wasteful water or chemical practices dent their profits. But finding new varieties to meet that goal without mashing customers' taste expectations would be, well, gravy, he said.

Just now, McDonald's is scrutinizing the Bannock Russet, a 10-year-old potato variety bred originally in Idaho that isn't as susceptible to most diseases as Russet Burbanks.

"If we can find a variety that does that, with less inputs, water or whatever, that's something we're looking for," Smith said. "To date, there are not a lot of varieties that perform consistently enough."
