I believe that the geek article is helpful but some of your topics are not that “intelligent” as to prescribe, none of which mentions anything about getting a radio for the typhoon update or such. Better not write article. Give the one that makes sense for people that needs advise. Your topic is pathetic and absolutely immature. Does your bachelor’s degree needs revision?

I’m sorry if the post offended you in some way BUT if you might not have noticed, this post was made a day BEFORE the typhoon hit the country.

And in case you didn’t know, even if there are no typhoons, MILLIONS of Filipinos starve everyday.

Whew, good thing Metro Manila residents did not have to apply these tips!

[...] Sir Abe has written a thing or two about how we, the Pinoy netizens could and would last in those dark days without electricity powering our tech toys and essentials. As my comment on that post goes: I may be tech savvy but I’m not that tech-equipped. Just my AAA battery powered-mp3 player, my mobile phone and my desktops. (No laptops for me, nor wireless routers, nor iPods not even a 3G phone I could use to go online. Just your average Pinoy techie, lucky enough to get a broadband connection, a Mac mini and an Ubuntu Desktop.) [...]

And always have cash at hand. If it’s a total power outage, then ATMs may not be working.

[...] Yuga posted some tips on how to prepare for this kind of situation. Me, I am now preparing. I am making sure that all battery-operated gadgets are fully charged in case of power failure. Extra batteries are also at hand in case of need. [...]

“If it’s not necessary, don’t. Stay away from Youtube, iTunes or Limewire for the meantime.” – i like this tip! haha

another great tip is to locate the nearest starbucks, seattle’s best or anything alike. This will be helpful lalo na kung free wi-fi access plus free charging hehe.. of course bring your own xtension cord para share sa ibang users. hehe.

I remember that typhoon, It took around 7 days for Meralco to restore power in Cavite. I have no choice but to go to malls or somewhere where I can recharge all my electronic gadgets.

Last time, I stayed in Bluewave Starbucks for more than 6 hours then at Mall of Asia just to get my laptop charged and check my mails and do some online stuff.

I will die without the net and electricity.

I may be tech savvy but I’m not that tech-equipped. Just my AAA battery powered-mp3 player, my mobile phone and my desktops.

So I guess I’ll just occupy my self with my offline schoolworks, both academic and non-academic. Of course, there’s the three new books I bought from last weekend.

Pray that everyone would be safe and survive Reming.
