A man who claims a right which is not his, is a tyrant. A man who has a right but does not know it, can be easily taken advantage of. A man who knows he has a right but does not exercise it, is a fence sitter who lacks civic consciousness. A man does not have a right but grabs and make use of it, is a despot

Tips to Helping Improve the Battery Life of Mobile Phone

Here are my top tips to help prolong the battery life on the phone.

1. Allow the phone to completely discharge before recharging.
When it reaches full, take it off the power. Complete this cycle a few times and you may find that the battery life does increase somewhat. Some people have reported being able to get an extra day or so out of the battery following this procedure.

2. Turn off the screen saver.
When the screen saver is enabled, the screen stays lit up for quite a while after you have locked the keypad. This drains power needlessly so I recommend you turn this off.

3. Turn sleep mode off.
Yes, I know what you’re thinking but you can save your battery by turning this feature off. If you have sleep mode on, the screen goes completely blank when the phone isn’t being used. This means that if you want to check the time, see if you have a new text message or anything else, you need to get the screen to come on in its entirety. If you keep sleep mode off, you can quickly look at your phone to check these things without enabling the screen every time. This should help reduce battery life because you won’t have the screen on and off all the time.

4. Press the red soft key (the button you use to hang up) after you have locked the keypad.
This forces the phone’s screen to turn off much more rapidly than if left to its own devices.

5. Don’t leave the bluetooth or GPRS on.
Only enable bluetooth when you need it and set your GPRS settings so that it only comes on when it is required. Leaving it on constantly is pointless and a waste of your precious battery life.

6. Send a text instead of calling where possible.
Sadly, calling is one of the worst things to affect your battery on this phone so where possible, send a text instead. Bit of a tenuous solution, but nevertheless something to bear in mind.

Celebrating Life: Second Chance

Exactly two years today when I got into a tragic vehicular accident along Magsaysay Road, Nabunturan, ComVal. The accident happened around 9:40 in the morning when my group tracking the national highway going down to Tagum. In my surprised, the left front tire of the elf cargo truck carrying banana exploded and in just awhile the truck went head on position that eventually lead to collision

Thirteen passengers succumbed to that road accident, only the driver killed and the rest obtained physical injury of different degree, fractured hips, pelvic bones, shoulder and laceration. I was rushed to the nearby private hospital for immediate medical attention because of the injuries, knee and head-on laceration obtained.



happy moments ...before the accident

left side totally wrecked

The accident made me realized that life is truly unpredictable, that life is so short. Who know in split seconds or the next day you will die
