As for that Hassleblad camera, is it upgradable? indestructible? or even take you anywhere you want to? if not then, it’s a total frigging waste of good money.

It’s a sad fact, really, that while we claim to be only Christian nation in SE Asia, charity, which is one of the tenets of Catholicism, is lacking BIG TIME when it comes to health care.

To be fair, the government isn’t the only one to blame for this, the church, too, has to share some of it. Di ba sila yung gustong dumami pa ang mga Pinoys (by trying to shoot down the RH bill), without giving some thought to the fact that the country can ill afford to feed, much less tend to the health needs of the growing population?

Consider also extreme vanity, such concoction (with excessive greed) could often be explosive.

But enough greed drives us to progress our own selves for without it would be so unreal.

As for the scrolls, I really wanted to take a photo of it . I already have information overload on it, both the historical and controversial issues related to our understanding or misunderstanding of Christianity. The two books I mentioned written by Michael Baigent are quite a shocker when one thinks that history can’t seem to backup the foundations of theology. But again, the proverbial “faith doesn’t require proof” saying rules in the minds of most people

BTW the pager is an excellent concept. Problem is the cell texting feature had killed it for people really don’t want to carry another device with them. Paging is still a service but sent as text to the recepient.

60mp is way too much even for large printouts but hey, there are always those who demand the best money can buy but the ideal condition for the best isn’t always available

and about that 60 mega pixel camera??? what will i do with all those pixels??? 10mp is enough for me.

I didn’t know that the Dead Sea Scrolls exhibit went on tour. I first saw it in Jerusalem at the Israel Museum.

I’m all for the ‘no texting/talking on the phone while driving.’ It is indeed dangerous. One needs to focus while driving, especially if you’re driving in Metro Manila.

Maybe I’m biased: I’m not a cell phone person. Not at all.

I remember using a Pocketbell pager in the past. I kinda liked its one-way features. Got job interview alerts via this pager system, actually. I like the idea of not having to respond immediately and thinking things over before you commit to anything.

If you watch Michael Moore’s controversial movie “SICKO” you’d see him take 5 NY firefighters to Cuba, via a boat crossing that 90 mile span from Key West, Florida , to get medical assistance at the US Naval Base at Guantanamo, Cuba. The base offers all the Al Qaeda prisoners free health care so why not firefightes who were refused health care insurance because of their deteriorating condition ?

The short end of the story is – they were refused entry to the base so Moore takes the 5 firefighters to a Cuban hospital where they were treated for free, even if they were tourists. An Eastern European officemate of mine who has been to Cuba tells me that the hospital they went to was a 5 star hospital only meant for the Cuban elite and members of the Communist party but the hospitals for ordinary folks aren’t that impressive. Whatever the case, their health care is free for everyone and subsidized by the government – that’s the bottom line.

Cash is still king in some countries but here, if you intend to withdraw more than 2 grand cash from your account you have to call the bank first Debit works for me. On one hand, I am forced to use my card for airline mileage points but pay it out

I think the 60 megapixels has its use in fashion magazines such as Vogue, Vanity Fair and even Playboy where quality photos are extremely critical to its success as a publication – or maybe ad companies, delivering the best picture money can buy to its clients.
