Baler Diary (Nov.29, 2012)

Nov29,2012-Dec2,2012 I believe was the 4th time I have been to Baler, Aurora but this was the first time I have been 'around' Baler.

Below are the exact itinerary we had for the whole trip.

Nov.28, 2012, 1130PM

-since our trip is at 1230AM (Nov.29, 2012) we have to be at their terminal an hour before because we still have to settle our bus ticket since what we only have is the payment slip from their BDO account.

Joybus Details.
1.  Call Joybus first for seat reservation at 7090803/4211425
     - I don't suggest 6th row since the light of the restroom might strain your eyes and also, if someone pooped, you will be the one first to smell it.

2.  they will give their bdo details where you will deposit your full payment of fare.

3.  You need to call them back and tell them your reference number.

We arrived in Baler at around 530AM.
Rode a tricycle to get to our hotel (Bay-ler View hotel).
       Tryc cost PHP15/head
       Hotel for 3pax is PHP1800/night
       Hotel for 4pax is PHP2300/night
We are glad that we can use our credit in that hotel!

Since we talked to our tryc drivers to take us around the city, we waited for them for about an hour to settle down first with the hotel.

How to delete folder in Note2

I used to be an iPhone user but then I bought Samsung note 2 due to I love how big it is.  The saleslady created a folder but when I was trying to delete what she created, I just couldn't.  Below is the process on how to delete a folder in apps window.

1. Open App Screen
2.  Menu Button
3.  Edit
4.  Hold the folder and move it up until you see the trash bin.

Ymca member

We paid php500 to be a ymca member. You might be thinking why we decided to do so, well, initially we wanted to avail of php20 discount by using their gym. At the same time, this membership is recognized world wide. The only thing that i know is that we can get additional discount if we stay in their 'hotel'

Plug in, not charging (windows7)

Everytime we use the laptop at home, we make sure that the battery is not plugged in so it won't overcharge. Last night was different, there was lighting strike and the electricity flickered so we decided to put back the battery so the laptop will be safe.

As time pass by, i noticed that it say 96% available NOT charging...i freaked out a little bit and decided to look for solution online. So here's how to deal with it.

1.shutdown the laptop
2.boot with only battery plug in
3.after booting up, then plug in the outlet

This worked for us, i hope to you guys too.

BPI Mobile Internet in iPhone

As an iphone user, I always check on application that needs update.  These updates might take time in downloading (well, it depends on your connection too) but I always believe in the developer that this is for good.

As I check the list of what needs to an update, BPI app is one of them.  After I updated the said app, I tried logging in and i was getting an error.  So I decided to reinstall it instead.  So here is the process.

1.  Initially, this is the first you will see.



2.  How to check the Activation code.
     a.  Log into www.bpiexpressonline.com
     b.  Other Service tab > Express Mobile Maintenance > Mobile Banking > Send New Link.

3.  You will receive a message with the link.  You have to visit the link to get the 6-digit activation code.  below is a sample text message.


4.  Just copy the activation code and input your user ID (which is the same when you log in online).  You should be good to go.

Unable to change file extension

Since we have a new computer, I would have to sync my iphone to this new computer.  By doing so, all the ringtones I made were gone.  As I do my usual process in creating a ringtone, I was stop by the part where I have to change the extension.  So here is the process on how to change the file extension of a file in windows 7.

1.  open "control panel"
2.  Click on "folder option"
3.  Choose "view" tab.
4.  Uncheck "hide extensions for known files"

Bike Parking in Glorietta

As me and my boyfriend was paying for our parking fee in Glorietta, we saw these line of bikes.  Since we were deciding in buying one, we were thinking of where we can go.  Back to my topic, you don't need to pay anything when you park your bike in Glorietta parking lot.

As of this idea, we can go to the malls soon with our bike...yeay! we can actually save cash on gas and at the same time, we can have our biking exercise!  With this, I guess we have to carry our own pad lock for our bike when we park :)
