AOC 23 inches e-ips led monitor. The picture goes out only to about 3/4 inch to the edge of the monitor, how come?

Unioil diesel euro 4 compliant

Eastern Petroleum also has euro 4 compliant diesel.

The two cars are almost identical in looks. It's hard to tell them apart unless you look at the insignia.

How are their prices? Does the BRZ comes with all wheel drive?

I am sad to hear about the 'bleeding' problem of Nexus 10, I am planning to get one too.

Oh well, it looks like I have to wait for the next generation of Nexus or just jump ship to Win 8 devices.

may accident palang nangyari sa sky way last week, mustang involved may namatay na pulis ito kuha cctv

 

Why is it called sky way? Parang 'sky way to heaven'?

This accident has all the ingredients for the media:

a high ranking police officer

a car costing over 3M

a Tsinoy

It reminds me of an acquaintance lucky escape from death and injuries, his car flip thrice before landing on it's roof, lucky for him, he got out without a scratch.

I bought my Cherry Chat Candy Ch@t last February 14, 2012 during their 3-day sale. It was working fine without any detectable problems. Then it started to have problems with charging. Even after 4, 6 or 8 hours of charging, it would not charge to 100%. And after removing my charger, the phone would immediately report a much lower percentage than what it was reporting while plugged. I tried to put in a similar although non-Cherry Mobile branded battery, fully tested with the same output and capacity, and still had the same problems with charging.

 

 

I brought the phone to the Manila Service Center on the 28th at 5pm. I fully explained the problem and the CSR took note of this as "not charging problem". I expected that the phone will be diagnosed fully by the time I returned to claim my phone on March 1. I waited for about an hour because they were still "testing the phone". After this unreasonable wait, I was told that it was a problem with the battery that came with the phone and that it will be replaced in 2 to 3 weeks. I could not believe that the unit does not have a problem too - using the other battery still brought up the same problem. The technician did not even do a software reprogram or replicate the problem himself. I suspected (correctly, as you will read later) that all testing (unit, battery, charger) was done in the hour that I was waiting for the phone. The CSR also said that since the other battery I used was not an approved accessory, my argument was not valid. I told the CSR that I will be buying a new Cherry Mobile-branded battery to test.

 

 

I brought the phone back with me and bought a new battery from the same Cherr Red Enterprises store in Robinsons' Ermita where I bought the unit. I charged the phone for about 25 minutes and instead of adding to the percent charged, the battery charge actually depleted while plugged. I was irritated by this so I returned to the Service Center and showed them what had happened. Ms. Aira Baning attended to my problem and after checking with the technician, whom I later found out was Mr. Patrick Palaganas, she said that I should follow the recommended initial charge time of 4 hours while the phone was turned off. This was a ridiculous recommendation since the phone should still charge the battery regardless whether it was turned on or off; it was the only time I had heard that recommendation in the era of Lithium-Ion batteries.

 

 

I gave them the benefit of the doubt and followed their advice. Despite their advice, the phone that was off and plugged was still depleting the battery charge instead of charging it. I was so incensed so during my lunch break today I returned to the Service Center to talk to Ms. Baning and to the Operations Manager, Allan Paguio. The standard reason why I wasn't able to talk to Ms. Baning's direct supervisor, Mr. Paguio, was because he was busy. I also asked to talk to Mr. Palaganas, who admitted that there was incomplete troubleshooting for the phone. This incompetence has caused me great anguish, since I did all the things I know of to test the phone before bringing it to the service center: Reset to Factory Settings, change batteries, try another charger -- all to no avail.

 

 

I called the Service Center on March 2 and I was told that it was the phone that had problems after all. This after 3 hours of having the phone stay in the Service Center.

 

 

I wrote the above paragraphs and sent it as an email to the Operations Manager's email address that was given to me (allan_paguio147@yahoo.com). I did not receive any reply. I called in and was told that they were reviewing the situation. I emailed again, disappointed about the total lack of decency to at least acknowledge my email. I also was able to find Mr. Paguio's Facebook profile (http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000222348558) and sent a message there. Still no reply.

 

 

I asked for my phone to be replaced with a better, working model. After two days of vague answers, I was told by Ms. Baning that company policy demands I pay additional if I am going to upgrade. A personal visit to the Service Center on March 6 had me talk to Mr. Palaganas, who said he will do everything in his capacity to help me. Apparently this does not include exceptions to company policy. I have surrendered my phone, box, charger and extra battery in the mistaken belief that they will replace my phone as just compensation to the incompetence and defective workmanship I encountered.

 

 

This is a continuing exercise in poor customer service, where I have been inconvenienced, humiliated, exhausted, and frustrated by the inability of the two frontline personnel (Ms. Baning and Mr. Palaganas) to escalate this to their supervisor Mr. Paguio. The consolation that they offered me was a refund for the unit and extra battery, which would still be processed within an indeterminate time period. They said that Mr. Paguio tried to call me, which he did but once (as a missed call). Since his call showed up as an unregistered number and he did not bother to introduce himself via SMS, I did not bother to follow the call up.

 

 

I have watched a clip on TV Patrol before, where someone was complaining about the poor customer service he received from Cherry Mobile. This was in December 2010 if I remember correctly. Fifteen months later, Cherry Mobile still hasn't gotten their act together. I am thankful for having found this forum to share my experience with Cherry Mobile, and I hope that readers would share this with others to prevent them from making the same mistake.

 

 

I regret to have chosen poorly, but I do not deserve to be treated poorly.

Reminds me of the saying: What you pay is what you get.

I bought a Lenovo P700i as a second phone. The third phone can retire because the P700i is dual SIM.

 

Runs of Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich. Lenovo Mobile Philippines has announced that The P700i can be upgraded to Jelly Bean but the timeline is still up in the air. Thanks to the dual core processor, no lag is noticed.

 

Long-lasting 2500 mAh battery. IPS Capacitive Touch Screen makes it viewable from any angle. Expandable memory up to 32 GB. Comes with earphone, charger and USB to mini USB cable. The P700i charges when the cable is connected to a laptop. Build quality is excellent and does not feel like a toy. No creaky plastic feel either. Rubberized back cover as an anti-slip grip.

 

The Lenovo P700i does not compare with MyPhone and Cherry Mobile. For one, the battery capacity of the P700i is larger than any of the MP and CM phones. The screen of the Lenovo P700i has a pixel density of 233 ppi (Higher number is better). The MyPhone A898 is 187 ppi and the Cherry Mobile Titan is 196 ppi. The MP and CM phones are built with creaky plastic.

 

Sound is good and loud and is not distorted even if loud. The sound quality of MP and CM phones are distorted when playing loud music.

How does it compare with the CM Titan TV?

I would be happy with great sex, food should be healthy, not necessarily very good tasting.

i have a 99 civic 1.6 vtec manual transmission. ang lakas ng fuel consumption ko. ano dapat kong gawin? city driving lang ako, umaabot ng 5km/L.

Did you drive it hard?

Is it used mostly for city driving?

On the other hand, if there is no corruption, & all the roads built last for years, the contractors are afraid that they would go hungry in a few years.

I agree. Many people always blame the rains for the conditon of asphalted roads. They shouldn't blame the rains. They should blame the contactors for using sub-standard asphalt. And ulitimately blame the government agencies that forced the contractors to use sub-standard asphalt because of kick backs contractors pay to unscrupulous government officials.

Correct, but it also show how well tolerated corruption is among the people.

mga ser..pa join po ha,,di po ako ang diabetic..ung father ko po diagnosed this year lang and got a stroke..thats why na diagnosed na diabetic xa..now maintaining above 100 sugar level..i want to know more mga ser...thanks!

I noticed that in some people who have their blood tested negative for diabetics less than every 3 months, their blood sugar increases whenever they have a stroke, why?

Welcome to MTC

To make this world a better place to live in.

stage is based on biopsy and imaging studies. Not on jaundice or any other symptom. Staging is composed of T - N - M. That's tumor size, nodes and metastasis.

 

CholangioCAs have poor prognosis. Insertion of stent is merely palliative (just to relieve symptoms like jaundice) , but prognosis will always be bad.

Thank you for the clarification. At least the insertion of stent would make the victim look good in the coffin.

It is sickening if you come to think of the kinds people afflicted with cholangiocarcinoma. These are people who don't do drugs, drink, smoke, & don't have multiple sex partners, some even do regular exercise.

no. we stage a tumor as 4 when it has spread to other sites, from the primary site.

 

but jaundice is not a good sign either. Because it means obstruction, in most cases. Even if the tumor is limited to the bile duct, if it is big or extensive enough, it may cause obstructive jaundice.

 

Diagnosis is by ERCP or MRCP. Depending on the location, the jaundice can be solved by inserting stents, to create an alternative route for bile to flow through.

Thank you Doctor.

Re: jaundice in cholangiocarcinoma

Can we assume that jaundice is stage 3 if there are no signs of bloating abdomen?

Re: insertion of stents

I noticed that while the jaundice would disappear, the condition of people with cholangiocarcinoma who undergo insertion of stents tend to go downhill, ie they starts getting thinner, they are too weak to walk alone unassisted, they become malnourshed. How come?

@angelbyday

Re: symptoms of cholangiocarcinoma

Does jaundice (yellowing of the skin) automatically mean that you are already in stage 4?

Thanks

Sorry I cannot answer this question because the 2 acquaintances (the other had prostate cancer) didn't wait for their bodies to enter the 'bed ridden' stage, they seek treatment while they were both capable of walking unassisted.

There is also a Philippine volunteer group composed to cancer survivors who can assist newbies to the cancer treatment center.

Their website is: http://www.pvf.org.ph/

FUDA Cancer Hospital in Guangzhou, China, total damage: less than P2M

-one of the most 'high tech treatment centers' in the world.

-due to cyrosurgery, only tumors and cancer cells are destroyed

-rebuild/culture immune cells from your own blood to lessen the chances of remission of cancer.

An acquaintance with stage 3 throat cancer got cured at this hospital. He stayed in this hospital in less than 3 weeks & he is back at his old job in less than 2 months.

Check out fudahospital.com for more details.

I have lots of crushes too, but only one serious relationship - with Maria Palad.
