Pinoy Dream Academy vs. Pinoy Idol

Ilang araw na lang muling lalabas ang mga contestants ng Pinoy Dream Academy para sa taong ito. PDA is a counterpart of Kapuso Network ABS-CBN 2 for Pinoy Idol of Kapuso Network GMA 7.

Lately nakita natin ang auditions aired by GMA 7 every Saturday at ito ngang nakaraang Sabado ipinalabas na ang Top 24 finalist ng Pinoy Idol. Ang daming observation sa show na ito at marami ang naiinis dito. Una, hindi daw dapat pinalitan ang Philippine Idol to Pinoy Idol. Bakit nga ba? Pati ang first time winner ng Philippine Idol na si Mau Barcelo ay di na rin kikilalanin ng Pinoy Idol. Bakit? Pangalawa, matindi daw ang panlalait na inabot ng mga contestants mula sa tatlong judges na sina Ogie Alcasid, Jolina Magdangal at Wyngard Tracy. Dinaig pa daw ang Ameican Idol dito. Lalo na yung sinapit ng isang contestant na hindi nasabayan ang pagkanta nung ka duet nya dahil di kabisado ang lyrics. Galit at panlalait ang inabot ng contestant na ito kay Ogie Alcasid. Kung ikaw nga ba naman ang isalang dun, siempre matira matibay at unahin mo na ang sarili mo bago ang kasama mo. Third, wala na bang ibang pwedeng mag judge bukod kina Ogie, Jolina at Wyngard?

Back to Pinoy Dream Academy, the concept of the show is truly recognizing the talent ng bawat Pinoy. Magagaling ang mga produkto nito noong nakaraang season nito. Ano naman kaya ang magiging kahihinatnan nito ngayon taon? Isa pang revelation dito ay ang pagiging host ni Billy Joe Crawford sa Pinoy Dream Academy. Si Billy Joe ay produkto ng Kapuso Network. Ano kayang nagyari?

Abangan.

What’s the difference of Dial-up and ADSL? Which type of internet connection do you prefer? Dial-up, ADSL or DSL?

As the technology is concern, internet service in the Philippines has tremendously affect by the modern technology. From Dial-up to DSL connection. Do you remember your countless nights patiently using Dial-up service? ADSL or DSL nowadays has become a trend for its Comcast High Speed Access.

Let’s first define each.

ADSL requires a connection at the telephone exchange. Commonly paying a connection fee and signing up for a year contract with an ISP. You will need an ADSL Modem box and it is usually provided as part of your contract.

These days the ADSL box provided will often be a Wireless Router, so you connect it to your PC via wireless not by cable. For example Linksys.

Dial-up means what it says. You just connect the phone cable directly at the back of your computer and use it to dial-up an ISP. There is no contract on this service. Pay phone charges, which can be as low as two peso per minute or you can use a pre-paid cards that is available everywhere.

Dial-up is about 10x slower than ADSL and ADSL is 10x or more faster than Dial-up. Of course quite expensive.

Hope this post could help you find the difference of Dial-up and ADSL.

Lester Cavestany wrote a very interesting article entitled, 7 Reasons Why We Need To Vote. He said, “it’s about time to put Philippines back on the international tourist map”. According to Joanjoyce, Tubbataha Reef declared as World Heritage Site by the UNESCO since 1993.

I need a portable laptop. I blog and always on the go. What would you recommend?

One of the important tools that a blogger must have is - a notebook. This is very essential especially for a blogger on the road.

For bloggers always on the move, i would recommend the Asus Eee 4G-Galaxy 7″ PC Mobile Internet Device. The only problem is you’ll need to get a decent-sized USB flash drive or an external USB hard disk to fully exploit its use, but that is just a very cheap price to pay for one of the world’s coolest notebook.

Asus Eee is a perfect portable blogging gadget. I know that open-source operating system savvy like Linux have been calling for a small, cheap alternative for blogging on the road.

The answer has finally come in the form of the Asus EeePC 701. A portable and tough gadget on the road.

I would like to have one soon. How about you?
