Google+, from its first week of beta testing, has been so well-received. Circles, easier-to-use posting privacy settings, Sparks, +1, Huddle, and mobile check-in are a few of its promising features. Having said that, I think the highlight of Google’s social sharing platform is Hangouts. I’ve tried it, and it works like a charm.

The app is obviously for iPhone users only as it (more…)
Run, Joey, Run
Right after graduation, I started listing recreational activities for the imminent longer leisure time. I considered in-depth photography, full-time PS3 Sports Champions gaming in the province, and swimming. Yet, venues for those interests were not easily accessible from my apartment in UP. So, with my joints excited to sprint, I decided to try running at least around the academic oval.

Along the road, everyone meets a wonderful delight – an enjoyment that is unfathomable and cannot be encompassed by any emotion. I, at this point in time, luckily stumble upon it after enduring the five years of collegiate life. I kneel down as I start to hold and see it like a spark of light.
I see into the light and saw thousands of memories I treasured with different friends I met in the university. Aggravating each year starting when I stepped into the grounds of UP, a gist of the most amazing moments gleam from the (more…)
