To everyone, I will be going to shanghai next month for a business trip. Usually, my usual business trip would take half a day, and the rest would be leisure.
What are the places to go in Shanghai that one should not miss out? I will be there for 4 days and 3 nights. Any suggestions? I would greatly appreciate if you can suggest a place. Moreover, how's the weather there? culture? what to avoid?....
I will be staying at the Mayfair Hotel.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Cheers.

Thanks tol Poker, sa tingin ko nga medyo mahal. Saan mo pala nabili ung IBM mo? pwede mo ba akong ma refer dun?
You can buy it anyway that carries IBM products. IBM usually have standard pricing cause they get it from a sole distributor which is MSI/Digiland. I brought mine at ABC Computers. I think they are in Greenhills. They are our supplier for IBM products eventhough I have not seen them.
Hope this helps.

Mga tol, baka pwede naman makapagbigay ng advise, one guy is selling me a brand new HP Notebook model nc4010. He's selling it at the price of Ps. 135K.
Do you think the price is just okay, considering the following specs?:
OS: Microsoft® Windows® XP Professional Edition
Processor: Intel® Pentium® M
Processor features: min: 725 (1.6 GHz, 2-MB L2 cache, 400-MHz front side bus)
Wireless: Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG WLAN dual display mounted antennas, optional Bluetooth®
Display size: 12.1-inch TFT XGA display
Weight: 3.5 lbs
Dimensions (L x W x H) : 11.00 x 9.20 x 1.10 in
Memory description : min: 256 MB (266-MHz) DDR SDRAM
Hard drive, internal: 40 GB (5400 rpm)
Video adapter description: ATI Radeon IGP 350M graphics controller with user selectable 32-MB DDR SDRAM
Slots: One Type II PC card slot supporting both 32-bit cardbus and 16-bit PCMCIA cards
I/O (input/output) ports: Secure Digital (SD) slot, USB 2.0 (2), S-video out, RJ-45/RJ-11, infrared, audio in/out
Honest opinion, way too expensive. I just bought a brand new IBM notebook with exactly the same specs at around 59k. That is more than half the guy is selling it for you.
Again, just an honest opinion.

tinanggal nila ung rule na un.. at least that's the last i heard..
just like the FIFA ruling that the defending World Cup holders would have to go through the qualifying stages..
You are right. However, FIFA mentioned that if Liverpool wins the Champions League, English FA will have to request to them for Liverpool to be included in next year's CL. FIFA president said that FIFA might grant the request cause its unfair for the defending champs not to defend the title. FIFA is willing to expand the English FA "delegation" to 5 slots, if Liverpool wins.
But as per the rule, English FA has only 4 slots for the CL.

So why are fans of ManU angry about the Glazer takeover, and not Chelsea fans angry with Amramovich takeover?
Just my point of view, ManU is a publicly listed company, Chelsea is not. Galzer needs 51% ownership to control the company, 75% ownership for ManU be Delisted in the stock exchange, and 90% ownership for a full control (meaning, no more board votes).
Currently, Glazer has less than 75% ownership, therefore, ManU is still publicly listed. Around 5% of the ownership is owned by the FANS, therefore, the Fans has the right to complain on the takeover. Analysts predict that Glazer will get the 90++% ownership of ManU. Therefore, his "LOAN" to takeover the club (around $3B - not sure), will be absorbed by ManU cause Glazer has the right and power to do so.
As for Chelsea, it is not a publicly listed company, therefore, there were no such "protest" going on. And as the poster above mentioned, they need Abromavich to resurrect the club.
As for the future of ManU, let's see if Glazer would succeed. But as another poster above also said, this club will/should be run as a business not a sports club.
Again, the above post is just my point of view. Hope this helps.
Great job by Barcelona. Real Madrid must be scratching their heads right now.

If you just don't know about this (which I am sure you know), for Smart Retention, you can "renew" your plan for another 2 years eventhough it is not expired. You mentioned that your contract will end come May, I am very sure that you can avail of the retention and get your new phone earlier. (kay excited naman ka).
Hope this helps.
Sorry for this, I really don't know to edit my post above. What I meant is you can renew your plan, or avail for the retention plan and get your new phone NOW. Eventhough you contract will expire come May.
Cheers.

ano yung service na may autoreload? sun? hmmm... kasya ka ya sa usage mo? hehehe.
yung reasoning ko kung bakit ako kumuha ng line eh ganito. kung magload ako dati eh limang tig300. eh 1500 na yun. yan average ko. kasi kasama work eh. e kuha na lang ako ng addict 1335. may smartphone pa. hehehe.
matatapos na 2 year contract ko this may. kaya nagparetention ulit ako. at may bago na naman akong VOYAGER!!!

:boo: :evil:Autoreload is from SUN. Acutally it is Sun Sure load. Like I mentioned before, I gave one to our maid. It is quite simple and hassle-free cause it will load monthly, just like giving someone an allowance. Here is what I got... I paid only 4k (cause my friend is the Sun distributor based in Cebu), it will load 250 per month for 2 years, and you get a new phone for FREE. It is really good thinking by Sun.
Here is what I am pissed about the promo, last Feb, my maid told me that the phone has no more load. So I checked, and found out she is right. It should have loaded 250 on Feb 1, cause I activated it on the 1st day of the month. I called customer service, waited 1 hour to answer their call, and no concrete answer - system error lang daw!!! I called my friend, he told me he cannot do anything but to make a report to SUN. Guess what?? The load arrived Feb. 12. 12 days of waste. Come March 1, it loaded the 250 timely, but the load that was left the previous month already disappeared (should be the case if they have loaded timely in Feb).
After all have been said, I still believe the benefit SUN is giving the consumers. Just like 1 poster here rightly said - "Hilaw pa sila, and you need a lot of patience". I am sure they will improve, but I just hope they give consumers the value for their money eventhough they are in the process of improving.
And I am most against the move by Globe and Smart to eliminate the 24/7 promo. That is competition for you. If you cannot stand the heat, get out of the Kitchen.
Cheers.

Here's my experience with Globe.
I was among the first person to subscribe to globe cause I was based in Cebu and Cebu was the test market of Globe for their GSM and SMS. I was quite satisfied with them until they expand and expand. Around 3 years ago, there was this Loyalty plan from globe to the users. Of course, I assumed that I will be given a new phone for the loyalty. The problem is, I need to call Globe to ask for the unit and NOT THEM calling me and informing me that I will be given a new phone. I asked myself, what the hell is this promo when it should be discovered first and not wholeheartedly given. So, when I chanced myself in the mall, I went to visit their office. As expected, I was given the top of the line phone, which is 7650, then. I said, OK, good for me. After few minutes, they came back and told me that they don't have any units left and will never have any units na. Guess what, they offered me 2 units of 3210!!!
So pissed, not because of the units, but because of the so-called promo that they never told me. If you are loyal to 1 company, I believe that the company should call and inform you if they have this "loyalty" promo. After 2 hours, I switched to Smart. After 3 hours, I got a call from VP of Globe and asking what is the problem and offering all the phones they can give. Both me and my brother left Globe and never went back. Note-Both of us are Platinum Holders.
To be objective - I will comment on Smart. As per their "Cut-your Line" without informing your problem, it happens when you are still new with them. I got a letter from them after 1.5 years of being a subscriber, and told me that there would be no more cut-offs because you are our valued client. So, if you pay well and on time, time comes when they will be flexible in that part. On-time billing is another matter.
Smart also gives phone instantly, unlike Globe. Globe, you have to wait so many months until you get your free phone. As for Smart, once you renew your contract, you will be given instantly.
As for Sun, I really hope they succeed. This would be a very healthy competition. I have a Sun Sure load for my maid, and Honestly, their service and traffic suck. Still, I am hoping they succeed and offer a far far better service in the future cause we need another GSM provider here in the Philippines. Bottomline, do I imagine myself switching to Sun? NO. Cause they are not ready yet.
PS. If you think Globe Platinums member are treated as "gods", Just Imagine How "Infinity" Members are treated! No Contest!!!

Generally, both are great places. If you are with friends and/or kids, then go to shangrila. If you are with someone special, then go to Plantation.
Plantation has a very warm feel for couples, while shangrila has a lot of things to do, especially with kids.
Hope this helps.
