The above was somewhat “confirmed” today when PAL cancelled around 10 flights, primarily due to lack of Airbus A319/A320 pilots.

So far, here are some clues on what will it be:

1. It’s NOT a new endorser.
2. It is something “SOCIAL” — nope! It’s NOT something related to jejemon

Hmmm … What could it be?

The thing is, I do not know exactly what was the reason behind for making the one-way scheme along the West Service Road? It only favors those who are living at the Merville Subdivision (and nearby posh villages) and totally is against the welfare of the silent majority. If the intention of whoever enacted this traffic scheme is to lighten up the traffic leading to the Sales Bridge during days of work/school, why is it that the ramp leading to the West Service Road is also closed on holidays and even at times, during weekends?

Doesn’t this one-way scheme favors only the operators of the Merville Exit?

In less than a month’s time, the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) and Toll Regulatory Board (TRB) will be implementing the imposition of the 12% VAT on all toll fees all around the country. Isn’t it time for the perpetrators of the one-way scheme along West Service Road review it’s effectivity, otherwise permanently discontinue this nuisance.

Can’t help but wonder why Smart is having a new promo that is open for 18 and up only. And what will be this something BIG and FREE?

Will Smart be launching an adult-themed service or wapsite? (::grin::) Is Smart having a tie-up with any leading beer company or cigarette manufacturer?

Surfing to the Smart Communications, Inc. Facebook page and I saw this 18 & Up tab, which is also saying something BIG and FREE is coming by end of this month. What could it be? Be the first to know by simply “liking” the Smart Communications, Inc. FB page.

Please do visit my site regularly for updates on this something BIG and FREE from Smart.

I follow this formula:

[(monthly salary x 12 months) / 365 days]
 

Whereas, your monthly salary is multiplied by 12 (the total number of months in a year) then the result is divided by 365 (the total number of days in a year; days off considered to be paid).

You, who do you compute yours?

Habang ako ay naglalakbay sa may kanto ng Arnaiz Ave. (Pasay Road) at Osmeña Hi-way (sa may riles ng tren) noong Linggo ika-11 ng Hulyo 2010, aking namataan si Kuya na taga-Safety Department ng Makati City na naka-motorsiklo nang walang helmet! Habang ang stop light ay naka-pula, panay ang ikot ni kuya sa mga sasakyang nakahimpil, at namara pa ng isang motorsiklo na ang kaangkas ay wala ding helmet!

Mayor Junjun Binay, papayagan ba natin ang mga abusado sa kalye na tulad ni Kuya?!

Bakit hindi kasama ang gasolina/diesel sa mga bagay/serbisyo na pwedeng makakuha ng 20% diskwento ang mga Senior Citizens? Hindi ba kasama sa basic commodities ang gasolina/diesel?

Two factors made us decide to acquire the Nikon Coolpix L110 on top of the competitor’s super zooms (that of Panasonic’s and Sony’s) — value for money and it’s 15x wide optical zoom.

The listed price of the Nikon Coolpix L110 (black) at Kimstore is PHP13,000 but when we checked at SM Appliance Center, it’s on order basis with a tag of PHP28,000. Kimstore wins!

Now, on to the review proper …

The Nikon Coolpix L110 is easy to use — it’s like you’re just using a point-and-shoot (actually, it’s a point-and-shoot camera). There is an AUTO setting, so as not to complicate your life with the settings, especially if you are just new to photography and if you’re not a professional. It has an effective pixel count of 12.1 million pixels, and is sporting a 15x optical zoom NIKKOR lens that can give you a super-telephoto 420mm coverage from as close as 28mm. Macro shooting can be as close as 1cm or 0.4 of an inch.

Another best thing with the Nikon Coolpix L110 is that it uses four (04) AA batteries. No worries if you are on the road and ran out of battery charge, you can always get an Energizer AA (Ultimate Lithium recommend, based on the manual) off the shelf. Based on the manual, using Energizer Ultimate Lithium AA batteries will last up to 840 shots or roughly 7 hours of HD movies.

Yes, you read that right — HD movies. The Nikon Coolpix L110 is capable of shooting HD (720p) quality video with stereo sound.

If you’re a semi-pro or a learned person when it comes to photography, the Nikon Coolpix L110 supports sensitivity of up to ISO 6400. This is the first in the L-Series Camera line to offer a new vibration reduction that combines the image-sensor shift system with electronic vibration reduction to help prevent or reduce blur caused by camera shake and subject movement.

The only thing missing in the Nikon Coolpix L110 is a viewfinder, else it’s the best consumer digital camera for me.

My rating for the Nikon Coolpix L110: 9 out 10.

This time, let’s try the 15x optical zoom:
