woooow...
Typhoon Pedring is really killing it, huh?! Intense winds since last night! I swear you can hear the ghostly sounds of the strong winds even when you're inside your home!
Power went out for about 9 hours in our place. I think there are still some areas that don't have power supply. :(
Cellular networks, all 3 of them - Globe Telecom, SMART, and Sun Cellular - went down too for a couple of hours.
Classes were suspended in all levels today. Some offices have suspended today's work. To some who still pushed through with their operations, the employers let their employees go home early - 2-3 hours before their usual time off.
Hoping and praying for everyone's safety.

my targetted new phone
HA!
Remember in one of my blog entries about technology that had I have the chance to buy a new phone, I might choose either the Blackberry 9900 or the HTC Desire S..
Now, I'm sure of what I want as my new phone. I wasn't really sure if HTC Desire S IS the phone for me (or would best fit my lifestyle and personality), as for the Blackberry 9900, yet it's sleek and sexy, but looks too stiff for me (design-wise)... and because I went to the HTC website last night and found their new lines.
Boy did I fell in love with their new HTC Rhyme!!! I'm sure to get this exact color on the video below :) I think it'll be out a few weeks from now, in the US. So probably will be out here in the Philippines a month or 2 months after?
Here's a sneak peak:

Gonuts with disappointment with these Donuts
About 8 years ago (if I remember it right), before citizens of the Philippines went Krazy over Krispy Kreme, there was GONUTS DONUTS!
Everyone went NUTS (pun intended) over these sweet treats, because it is something new! For the longest time, the first thing that comes to mind to us Filipinos when we hear the word DOUGHNUT is Dunkin' Donuts! Because that was the only brand of doughnut available in the Philippines. So when Gonuts Donuts was introduced, everyone was just eager to try 'em.
I must say, when Gonuts Donuts first launched, their donuts were really yummy! You can actually tell the freshness of their doughnuts and very flavorful. It has the right amount of sweetness. It was bigger in size compared to Dunkin Donuts' and heavier. THAT was years back.
Now... their donuts are too dry, and too sweet, and has shrunk! Yes, they may have been selling them cheap (about Php 240, 1 dozen) compared to when they first came out, but the quality is just so poor now. :(
Dunkin' Donuts actually did make smaller donuts too a few years back (during the big recession), but the quality - meaning the texture and the flavor of the donuts are the same. It just differed in size. Unlike Gonuts Donuts, not only did they make their donuts smaller, they totally murdered the flavors and the quality of their donuts.
Now that there's Krispy Kreme, and that the recession years have gone by, Dunkin Donuts is back in making donuts the size like their originals from way back circa 1980's. And oh how I love 'em! :)
