Yesterday, after picking up my new DSLR
accessory from mond(zselfdestrukt), i
decided to drop by Hidalgo st. in
Quiapo to buy extra battery and memory
card. I took the LRT to Carriedo from
Vito Cruz. I exited thru the Isetann
department store passage. As i was
walking beside SM Quiapo going towards
Hidalgo a man in his early 40's and
full of tatoo suddenly approached me
and held my arms and acted as if he
knew me. He said " uy pare kamusta na!
ang laki ng tinaba mo ha!"... ako naman
i was trying to recall if i know him.
so medyo hindi naman ako suplado kaya i
smiled hesitantly. then he followed up
with a question "kamusta na si tony?"
this question gave him away since i
don't know any tony...i suddenly
realize that this is going to be a set
up for a hold up, kasi he's trying to
lead me towards an alley with many
tambay na katulad niya. I quickly
deviced a plan, kasi dala ko yung
pinagbentahan ko ng Glutathione noon
and my new accessory. as he was about
to put his arms around my neck i
quickly elbowed him on the chest and
shoved him away. he angrily shouted "
wag mo ko itulak, kalalabas ko lang ng
munti! kuhanin ko lang pera mo at
alahas!" and showed his sigue sigue
tatoo. ako naman napansin ko na we are
near the entrance of SM and the guard
inside is carrying a shotgun. so i
replied by saying"kalalabas mo lang ba?
gusto mo bumalik hind*t ka! hindi mo ba
ako nakikilala? Colonel ako sa Crame!",
he smiled and said "pahingi na lang ako
ng pera!" i jumped towards the guard
and said to the hoodlum "lika dito sa
loob, dito kita bibigyan!" he ran
towards the direction of rizal avenue.
the guard saw all these and said "naku
boss buti d ka naloko, kukuyugin ka
nila kung nahila ka nyan dun sa gilid
ng chowking." so ayun dun lang pumasok
yung takot. i spent siguro 10 minutes
inside SM then went on to do what i
have to do.

as i was about to enter isetann i saw
the man again with 4 more men eyeing
another potential victim, a student.
they were on the carriedo street area
under the LRT. i saw two roving police
officers and told them what happened. i
pointed to the hoodlums but the
hooligans must've realized what i was
doing so they suddenly ran in different
directions. ayun.

sana maging babala sa inyo to. muntik
na ko dun.

	10. Genuine Leather Case This leather case is designed to protect your cell phone and comes with a carrying strap, built-in belt clip, and a plastic cover to protect keypads from wear and tear. A thick interior prevents your cell phone from any accidental damage plus elastic sides allow for a tight fit and easy removal. Why should you get it? These days, portable phones are built to be very sturdy and durable. However, there is only so much abuse they can take, which can be a problem if you have one of the more expensive models. Why don't you prolong both the life and cleanliness of your phone with a protective case?
	9. Magnetic Amplified Antenna Give your cell phone an extra boost when faced with weak signals from just about anywhere you travel. The magnetic mount makes it perfect to keep the antenna in your car, home or office. Installation is as easy as 1-2-3. Why should you get it? Great for eliminating dropped calls or improving the reception in areas with bad signals like your home or inside a tunnel.
	8. Belt Clips Belt clips are great because they allow you to comfortably move and sit with your cell phone securely fastened to your belt, while giving you easy access every time you take a call. With this clip, you don't have to worry about losing your phone as it comes equipped with a locking mechanism. Why should you get it? Avoid the pocket bulge. Stop carrying the phone in your pocket and women will no longer approach you to ask, "Are you excited to see me, or is that just a cell phone in your pocket?" Unless of course, you enjoy the vibrating mode.
	7. The Hand This clear blue palm holder adds a very unique, jazzy look to your home or office desk. Try one of these luxury items; I'm sure you will enjoy the light show provided each time your phone rings. Why should you get it? It's a stylish phone holder that actually alerts you of an incoming call with a disco light show before the phone actually rings.
	6. Vibrating Belt Clip This belt clip comes equipped with the vibrating call alert mode. It's great if you're in meetings or a movie theater and don't want to cause a disruption. If you already have vibrate mode on your phone, turn it off and your battery will last longer. Why should you get it? You will prolong your phone's battery; the vibrate mode on any phone drains the battery. By using the vibrating clip, you'll never miss a call and won't have to worry about draining your battery prematurely.

	5. Antenna Booster The antenna booster works on any phone and can enhance your signal by up to five times. It is the best cell phone accessory for anyone who lives or works in a low signal area. Why should you get it? You no longer have to worry about having to repeat yourself or asking the individual on the line to speak up.
	4. Long-Lasting Batteries If you're fed up of recharging your battery every five hours, then maybe it is time to invest in long lasting and lighter batteries. Why should you get it? Keeping a spare battery around is always recommended. You can keep one for personal calls and the other for business calls.
	3. Mobile Rapid Charger It's a good idea to have a mobile battery charger in the car in case you forget to charge your phone at home. With the Rapid Charger, you can charge your battery from empty to full in two hours. The charger comes with an I/C chip, which prevents any battery overcharge. Why should you get it? The mobile rapid charger is the ideal accessory for any individual who spends a lot of time on the road, talking to clients. If you never have time to put your phone down, let alone charge it, then maybe it's time to let it charge while you drive.
	2. Hands Free Kit The vehicle Hands Free Kit provides a safe and easy way to use your portable phone in your vehicle. The kit provides power to your phone from your vehicle's battery; charges your phone's battery; and includes a microphone for complete hands free use. Why should you get it? A wise yet very intoxicated man once said, "Keep your eyes on the road and your hands upon the wheel." Of course this is very good advice, but very hard to follow when you have a cell phone in your hands.
	1. Hands Free Earpiece With legislature being passed making it illegal to drive and use a phone without a hands free device, now is a good time to buy one. This hands free earpiece allows you to chat on your wireless phone without using your hands. The small earpiece allows you to walk and talk freely, complete tasks easily with your phone by your side, and even drive safely. The earpiece lets you hear your caller clearly with great reception, while a high quality microphone allows your friends, family and business associates to hear you clearly. Why should you get it? With all the news you hear about portable phones causing brain damage and even brain cancer, it's a no-brainer -- no pun intended. Get yourself a hands free earpiece.

If you thought the Wii billiard attachment was ridiculous, check out the Wii Cooking Mama kit. It's for the new Nintendo Wii game that lets you use the Wiimote to pretend to cook, and come with four attachments: frying pan, knife, fork and spatula.
