5 Things To Do When Your iPhone Gets Wet

Getting your iPhone wet or soaked, be it in a toilet bowl, sink, river or ocean or in a “bulalo soup” *(soup made from beef broth with some of the bone marrow), is already a big problem.

You can squeal, shout, cry, utter bad words or do anything to let out the frustrations. But the fact remains that you may have to say goodbye to your iPhones and all the data it contains…contacts, notes, calendars and most especially, all your photos and videos.

It happened to me with my 3-year old iPhone4s, on the morning of December 26, 2014,in our house in Bicol. I was about to use the toilet when I heard something drop into the bowl and when I looked down…wahhhhhh…my iPhone with its pink case. And all I can do is shout at the to top of my lungs, “ang phone ko nahulog sa bowl” and pick it up as fast as I can. 

Karen Davila was right when she said it on national TV in one of the episode of Bandila, when it happened your initial reaction is to get it no matter what. Good thing for me, the user before me was my youngest niece who just pee and did not forget to flush.

And these are my learning based on experience:

1. Make sure that your phone is off. Due to their conductive natures, water and other liquids short-circuit electronics.Do not assume or think that it automatically turned of when it became wet. If you knew that it is on and running before it happened, press the switch and turn it off…this I was not able to do…haizt…sigh.
2. Pat it dry with a cloth. Use a towel or any soft, absorbent cloth to dry the surface as fast as you can. Carefully wipe down the headphone jack and charge port.
3. Draw all moisture out of the phone as quickly as possible. You can air dry the unit but it will not work as fast as the following:
   • The Rice Trick. Put your phone in a tub or bag of rice and let it set for several hours (as long as you can tolerate, up to 24 hours at the most). The dryness of the rice will absorb the water from the unit. In my case, my sister buried my phone in a big plastic drum full of rice but I got impatient and took it out after just a few hours.
   • The Silica Gel. Instead of rice, you can substitute it with packs of silica gels. Silica gel is most commonly encountered in everyday life as beads in a small paper packet and used as a desiccant to control local humidity to avoid spoilage or degradation of some goods.
4. Remember these "donts". The following are just common sense but I decided to list it down, just in case.
   • Amidst your fit of frustration, DO NOT throw your wet phone into the window or against a wall…there’s still hope, even just a bit.
   • DO NOT use hair dryer. It may heat the small components inside your unit which may damage worse. I thought of it, lucky for me we had no dryer in the house.
   • DO NOT attempt to put it near a stove or any source of fire. It is worst than the hair dryer…the outside casing or even the battery may be damage by the heat. We put it a little farther from a “kalan” (a coal-fired cooking stove) but remove it after a few minutes, which was a good decision.
5. Bring it to a trusted repair shop. If all else failed, bring it to your trusted repair shop or to  those recommended by a relative or a friend. We did yesterday in Greenhills…we’ve known them since 2011 as per the recommendation of my sister. Their worst diagnosis, which I already resigned myself with, was short-circuit plus a possibility of a damage LCD Screen.

The LCD Screen was not damaged so I was able to save on that. The battery though the cover looked crumpled but still function properly.

                           

And the most important thing, my 1000+ pictures are all intact :)…which were my foremost concern. The phone numbers, email addresses, reminders, notes and calendars can be retrieved from iCloud. But those pictures mostly taken this December such as Daniz First Communion and Gratitude Day, Christmas parties with family and friends, Espiritu’s Annual Reunion were not saved in iCloud because it exceeded the 5GB free storage. Photos taken and lost cannot be recover...cannot be re-enacted...

Lesson learned from this fiasco: always save all the pictures after each important event.

 

Now, my iPhone is up and running. Yesterday, after 5 days, I made my first call at 5:52pm and my first post in FB at 10:51pm…yeeeheeeyyyyyy!!!

Footnote:

• The "bulalo soup" came about because while we were at the repair shop in Greenhills, a lady asked if her phone can be repaired. Apparently, she dropped it into a bowl of Bulalo...the reason I was not able to hear clearly.
• For just a few hours of waiting, Pinoys ingenuity were very evident. Several locals and even foreigners came to the shop for the repair of their gadgets...iPad with broken screen, Macbook that overheat, iPhones that does not function. In other countries, if its not working it will be disposed.
• When I asked Kuya the Repairman, how many percent my phone can be repaired, he answered without batting an eyelashes, "90%...because if we cannot repair it, you will not pay us, so it better be repaired".

Daily Log: Lord’s Plan for Us

It’s been awhile since my last post…

For several days now, I’ve been trying to search something deep within my memories and out of my chaos thoughts and put it into writing.

For now, amidst all the trials and tribulations of 2014, one thing is sure…after the sun set in the horizon...a new dawn of hope will follow...and the sun will shine again.

Taken last April 11, 2012 during PLDT sponsored Subic Bay Cruise

And I will always come back to the Lord’s promise that guided me 15 years ago until now, during the most trying times of my life…

“For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord,

plans to prosper you and not to harm you,

plans to give you hope and a future”

Jeremiah 29:11

And my favorite words, coined from the famous quote by Alexander Graham Bell, “When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us”.

“Pag may sumarang pintuan,
may mga bintanang mabubuksan
at kung minsan pati ang bubungan”

At St. Pio Church Eastwood last August 21, 2014

And then I remember the story of The Four Candles that I have read many years ago…

The Four Candles burned slowly. Their Ambiance was so soft you could hear them speak...

The first candle said, "I Am Peace, but these days, nobody wants to keep me lit." Then Peace's flame slowly diminishes and goes out completely.

The second candle says, "I Am Faith, but these days, I am no longer indispensable." Then Faith's flame slowly diminishes and goes out completely.

Sadly the third candle spoke, "I Am Love and I haven't the strength to stay lit any longer. People put me aside and don't understand my importance. They even forget to love those who are nearest to them." And waiting no longer, Love goes out completely.

Suddenly...

A child enters the room and sees the three candles no longer burning. The child begins to cry, "Why are you not burning? You are supposed to stay lit until the end."

Then the Fourth Candle spoke gently to the little boy, "Don't be afraid, for I Am Hope, and while I still burn, we can re-light the other candles."

With shining eyes the child took the Candle of Hope and lit the other three candles.

Never let the Flame of Hope go out of your life.

With Hope, no matter how bad things look and are...Peace, Faith and Love can shine brightly in our lives.

-- Author Unknown

May we always hold onto the Lord’s promise to give us hope and a future. And may the candle of Hope continue to burn in our lives…despite the strong winds and storms that may cause its flame to diminish.

Kapit lang…

Pag nandyan si Lord…

Kayang-kayang-kaya…

Daday’s Kitchen: Simple Breakfast to Something Special

I always look forward to Saturdays. Almost always,it turned to something special…wonderfully unexpected. It could be a lazy morning in bed with Dada and Daniz. Or simply snoozing from early morning until whatever time I feel like waking up. Or a sudden plan for a weekend getaway. 

Whatever it is…it will surely erase all the tiredness, stress and tension of the week before it.

Today, it’s a simple breakfast turned into something special with just a tweak on the presentation. I will often heard Daday telling Ate Bevs (our home angel) to always put extra effort on the way she served our food. That she has to satisfy the three senses: sight, smell then taste.

One Fine Day in Bagasbas Beach, Daet, Camarines Norte

Bagasbas Beach is famous, not only to the locals, but even to foreign visitors. with its long stretched of beach, about 2 kilometers, with powdery sand. The beach faces sunrise from the shores of Daet. For a public beach, free for everyone, it is relatively clean...free of waste other than seaweeds or dried leaves.

Open cottages for rent lined part of the shoreline. Surf boards are available for rent and so are instructors for a standard rate. 

Going to Bagasbas Beach Last November 01 is a spur of a moment decision…not part of the things to do while we were in Bicol.

The night before, one of my brother wanted to go to the nearby town of Jose Panganiban at four in the morning to buy meat for our meals the whole day. I am not sure how it happened, but in between asking who wants to accompany him…he mentioned Bagasbas Beach and their recent trip with some of our nieces and nephews.

To make the story short, right there and then…we decided to go to Bagasbas Beach. I conducted a meeting with the children, ask them if they want to go and if they do they should sleep early…or they will be left behind. We will have breakfast at Jollibee Daet (the nearest outlet from Batobalani).

After the children left, we discuss about the car arrangement. There are only 2 cars available for 19 passengers: 8 adults, 3 teens, 7 kids and 1 baby…excluded are 4 adults. How in the world are we going to fit in? Then Aster came to the rescue by saying, “I will try if there will be an available van that can be borrowed”. And so it’s settled…

The day of the trip, we were informed that there is no available van. Good thing, my only brother-in-law arrived from Manila…so we have 2 cars and 1 SUV. “Ang galing talaga ni Lord”…perfect timing.

When we left Batobalani, it seemed like it will rain. Initially, Jonjie and I will go directly to Jollibee, to buy our breakfast. But we have 3 kids on board which we think “sayang naman ang moment” with their cousins on the beach if they are going to tag along with us. Jonjie and I agreed that we will bring them first to the beach and if it’s raining, we will pack and go. If not, the two of us will go to Jollibee. Right after we talked, I received a text message from my sister with the same line of thought.

We reached the place. The sun is shining with no hint of rain. The children did not waste any minute…off they go to the beach. I decided to leave Jonjie to take pictures and requested another one of my brother to drive me to Jollibee.

Even the youngest among the children is clearly enjoying the fine sand and the sea. Look at that face...the eyes...the smile. He is just so adorable...

Eating our breakfast...kanya-kanyang puwesto...para-paraan lang...

When we returned, they are already off the beach…hungry…waiting for the food. But no children in sight. Jonjie said, "they are rinsing themselves, some are changing clothes". I was surprised because swimming is not part of the plan.

Apparently, our daughter Daniz started it all. She said she lost her footings and got wet...and the rest is...well, they enjoyed themselves...

I missed the fun, the sun and the sand but I have their stories and the beautiful pictures…

Footnote:

• The road to the beach from the town proper is already paved and improved, not like the last time that we visited the area. Going there is just a breeze…except the traffic when exiting the town proper because of the large numbers of tricycles and vehicles parked along the side of the roads.
• Daniz wanted to go surfing but we can only stay for a few hours...
• We hailed from Batobalani, one of the 27 barangays of Paracale, Camarines Norte.

Undas 2014: Journal of Our Bicol Road Trip

Travel time from Mabalacat, Pampanga to Paracale, Camarines Norte during ordinary weekend would only take us about 9~10 hours by car with an occasional restroom break and one coffee or snack break.

Our regular route: North Luzon Expressway > Skyway > South Luzon Expressway > Maharlika Highway > Road leading to our barangay.

This Undas 2014 was so different…in a big way. Getting there took us 14½ hours as well as going back. It’s due to traffic jam caused by the surge of commuters which was expected during this time. But the major reason was the collapsed bridge in Santa Elena, linking Camarines Norte to Metro Manila, due to the onslaught of Typhoon Mario (with international code name Fung Wong).

We, and all the commuters to and from Camarines Norte, had to endure the long journey via Rolando R. Andaya Highway (commonly known as Quirino Highway). It is a regional highway traversing the towns of: Tagkawayan, Quezon; Ragay, Camarines Sur; Lupi, Camarines Sur and Sipocot, Camarines Sur. It is the shortest way to Naga City and the province of Camarines Sur.

But when it was used as the emergency detour going to Camarines Norte, it means an additional 3 ~ 4 hours travel time. With this route, we have to travel across Sipocot to reach the other side of Maharlika Highway passing the busy side of Sipocot and Lupi and then the towns of Camarines Norte which are: Basud, Daet, Talisay, Labo and finally, Paracale (my home town). We use same route, in reverse, in going back to Pampanga…with a few difference when we used diversion roads to avoid the long queue of vehicles on the national roads.

During the entire road trip, I posted bits and pieces of information with pictures on Facebook. And when I reported for work, most of my FB friends who followed our road trip commented, “napagod ako sa byahe ninyo” (I got tired with your travel).

I decided to consolidate all those FB posts plus more of the pictures we have taken along the way. I will be using the time the pictures were taken…not the time of the Facebook post. The trip hashtags: #JADSpirits, #roadtriptobicol #longesttriptobicolever,

October 31, 5:48am

We just passed the “Welcome to Bicolandia” arch (boundary of Quezon and Camarines Norte when I posted the first Facebook post.

Good morning, Everyone!!! Rise & shine! After more than 9 hours on the road…from Pampanga. From the gateway to Bicolandia…at least 100 kms, around 2 hours travel time to our destination.

  

October 31, 6:08am

We were traveling along Tagkawayan, Quezon…

Part of the comments of the second FB post and some. We were on the Camarines Sur part of the highway…120 kms away from our destination.

Quirino Highway - Ragay, Camarines Sur

  Sipocot, Camarines Sur...5kms to Maharlika Highway

October 31, 9:30am,

After seeing endless roads, trees, sky and vehicles of different types and sizes, we reached the capital of Camarines Norte…Daet.

After almost 13 hours on the road…

We had brunch, Dada were able to have a short rest, stretch his back. And look at our Daniz in her PJs…as if she’s just inside our house…wagas.

 

This is Froggy...13 hours after it left the car wash in Mabalacat, Pampanga

October 31, 10:45am

Not part of my FB post.

We reached the archway to my hometown…around 20 minutes more to reach our final destination.

Footnote:

• Some part of Quirino Highway is under construction…so we experienced “stop” and “go”. From time to time, we also braved some sudden rain fall.

Daily Log: The Toughest Things by Bob Perks

In life, easy things leave no lasting marks. The things that stays with us…the way we view ourselves…on how we relate to others…our outlook in life...those are the result of the toughest things that we have gone through and the toughest choices that we have made.

Some choices scared us and even scarred us. There are times that all we wanted to do is run away from everything that challenges us, removing us from our comfort zone. But when we stood our ground and we said to ourselves, “we can”…it is in those times that we found the strength to “go on” doing the things that we thought we cannot do…choosing the toughest things instead of the easy way out...

"The Toughest Things"

By Bob Perks

 

There are lessons to be learned and people to teach them.

I find that to be true in every part of my life.  It is important to note that sometimes we are the student and sometimes we are the teacher.

So, how do we know if we are learning or teaching?

It all depends on our attitude.

For me, I take the attitude of the student.  I want to learn.  I want to see the world, not as a gigantic classroom, but as a fun, exciting field trip without textbooks, instructions, or rules.

This means I learn more from the mistakes I make than the accuracy of the steps I take in the right direction.

In my life, the best lessons are learned the hard way.

What comes easy to me, I forget.

So, here is a list of what would appear to be easy things that require more than we realize:

To love a dog is easy, but to be worthy of its love is tough...

Our pets love us unconditionally.  Which means, we hardly need to do anything to get that love.

But ask yourself based on the time and attention you give, if you really deserve it?  This applies to our relationship with people, too.

To teach a child is easy, but to live what we teach...

I can remember the old phrase "Do as I say, not as I do!"

What you do may be the true lesson your child is learning. Teach by example.

To watch a sunset is easy, but to see it as a new beginning...

How many times have you said, "I can't wait until this day is over!"

When it ends, do you simply brush it off?  Linger in anger and stress over it? Adjust your attitude and see the day's end as a new chance to begin again?

To see what's wrong is easy, but to make it right...

We can't right every wrong in the world, but just pointing out what's wrong won't make the world a better place.

What the world needs are people who take action.  If you don't have the ability to change it, find someone who does then help them.  "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."  Martin Luther King Jr.

To fall down is easy, but to get up again and again...

Sometimes life is unbearable.

Failure is not how many times you fall, but the last time you chose not to get up again.

To give is easy, but to give when it calls for sacrifice...

Even in these tough economic times there are things we can do to help others.

It may call for belt tightening, or giving a little extra time to a cause, but sacrifice gives to both the giver and the receiver.

To lie is easy, but to tell the truth when you have lied...

The greatest enemy in any relationship is the lie.

Upon it grows mistrust. Revealing it brings about rebirth and a chance to grow even closer.

To be angry is easy, but to forgive...

It is said that "forgiveness frees the forgiver."

One can let go through forgiveness or be weighed down with the burden of remembering forever.

To criticize is easy, but to praise...

I have found that there are more things to praise in life than to criticize.

It has also helped me to find life more enjoyable.  Praise is like oxygen to one who is suffocating under criticism.

To pray for help is easy, but to be thankful for the need...

Prayer often times becomes a shopping list of needs rather than a thank you note.

If you find yourself in a situation that needs some guidance, see it as an opportunity to learn and be grateful for it.  That attitude will help you to see the the solution more clearly.

To try is easy, but to do...

I can say "I'll try!" and make very little commitment to do it.

But if I say "I'll do it!" my mind and body will respond differently to the challenge. "Do or do not.  There is no try."  Yoda

To begin is easy, but to finish...is tough.

"Begin" is an idea.  "Finish" becomes a reality.

Most people say, "If I only had the money I would..."

You don't have a money problem, you have a idea problem.  Any plan can begin on paper without costing anything but time and effort.  Finish the project, evaluateit and work the plan.  Or begin a new one based on what you've learned

Life is easier when you make tough choices!

"I believe in you!"

Daily Log: The Trouble With Dreaming by Bob Perks

"The Trouble with Dreaming
By Bob Perks

You can dream all you want and want all you dream
But sooner or later you have to put feet on them or they'll just die in place.
Dreams can't go anywhere.  They just stay right where you left them the last time you even considered them at all.

They are indeed convenient.  No one has to know a thing about them.  No one has to see them or touch them but you.  So, in reality they don't even exist until you say so.

I ask you what good is a dream if you don't bring it to life.  I mean why waste your time if you are only going to tuck it away? 

The trouble with dreaming is it gets you nowhere.  Oh, perhaps in your mind.,  You can dream of far away places and pretend that you are there.  I must ask you why not come up with a plan based on reality and get yourself there? 


Why not?
Are your dreams simply childish fantasies?

Permit me to ask you, too, what is stopping you from attaining your dream?
Is it money?  It's always money.
Well, my friend you don't have a money problem you have an idea problem.  You need a strategy to get the money you need to make your dream come true.

Are you too old, too young?  Nonsense.  Age isn't the problem.  Every dream that is meant to be and has merit, is blind to the age of the dreamer.

Are you too male, too female, too black, too white, not Hispanic enough?
That's a joke, too.  These are labels society has created and for every label there are  dozens of men and women who never even considered them when they pursued their dreams anyway.

That's the trouble with dreaming.  Dreams know no barriers or limitations when the dreamer makes the decision to turn that dream into reality.

Yes, my friend.  You are either a dreamer or a believer.
Believers are achievers.

Dreamers?  Well, they live in the land of might have been.

Daily Log: What is "Meant To Be" by Bob Perks

  
What is "meant to be?"
We say it when good things happen.
We say it when bad things happen.
Or we add in "wasn't."  As in "It wasn't meant to be."

There is truth in it, but there are also lies.
Something goes right and we believe that there may have been some divine intervention.  How do we know it?

Maybe it just was. Maybe what happened is simply what we wanted so we declare it, "Meant to be."  But was it?  Or are we just making it so?

Maybe we use it to console one another when things go wrong.
"I'm sorry.  Maybe it just wasn't meant to be."
"Destined to exist."  That's how it is defined.

Another look at it says,
"For those who believe in fate... it would fall into that realm.
For those who believe in God... it would depend on His will.
For example... "as Fate would have it" (assuming fate has control)...or, "according to God's will" (placing it in the hands of a higher power... who is believed to have control).
"Meant to be" insinuates that something else has control of it."

Now that's interesting. 
If we believe that "something else has control over it," then we could easily explain our failures and successes, almost to the point that we would never really have to try hard, work for it, or even believe we deserve it.


There was a popular song sung by Doris Day.  The chorus went like this:
"Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be."

It's really a nice laid back attitude.
I ask you then why try?
What good are goals?  Dreams?  Plans?  Or perhaps even Prayer?

In my life I have come to the conclusion that there really is a purpose for "meant to be." 

"Meant to be" by Bob Perks
For life to be good it is meant to be challenging and difficult.
For love to be real it is meant to be tested and proven.
For faith to be of value it is meant to be tried at times.
For hope to exist we are meant to be strong in our belief that if God is, so is hope.
For one to be found we are meant to be lost so we understand what coming back again feels like.
For one to live life fully we are meant to be aware that life is fragile.
For one to win we are meant to lose.
For one to finish we are meant to begin and never quit.
"Meant to be" is simply God's plan for me.

So, "meant to be" should not be taken lightly or used as an excuse.
For since you were created by God you were meant to be living a good life, loved, faith-filled, hopeful, found, enjoying the fullness of life, a winner and never a quitter.

That's how God expects it to be.

6 Things You Can Do Inside Tam-Awan Village, Baguio City

Tam-Awan Village is located at the outskirts of Baguio City at 366-C Pinsao Proper. Getting there by car may be a bit difficult, by taxi is the easiest as the place is known to taxi drivers and as usual, the cheapest mode of transportation is by jeepney.

According to Baguio Attractions & Historical Landmarks,

Tam-awan in the local idiom means "vantage point," an apt name for a colony of Cordillera Huts that sit on a hillside that affords visitors a magnificent view of the South China Sea on a clear day. 

The Chanum Foundation, Inc., started reconstructing Ifugao houses in Baguio with the intention of recreating a native village accessible to those who have not had the opportunity to explore the different parts of the vast Cordillera region in the Philippines, laying the houses out just like a traditional Cordillera village. Tam-awan Village is also a venue for art exhibits, workshops and other activities that showcase the rich cultural heritage of the Cordillera people.

Due to the temporary unpassable road at the end of Naguilian Road, a few kilometers to the heart of Baguio City, we found ourselves traversing the road less traveled going to La Trinidad, Benguet.

While nearing our destination, as shown by Waze Apps, and after a sharp curve I suddenly look on the right side of the road and saw the sign “Tam-Awan Village”. But, it was too late to stop…so we traveled a few meters more for Jonjie to find an area big enough to maneuver for a “u-turn”.

This is one classic examples of a “blessing in disguise”. I have been reading raves about the village on the web but it was never been part of our itinerary. And if not for the road construction at the end of the Naguilian, we will not be forced to the road that led us to Tam-Awan Village.

At the entrance, we paid a minimal amount: Adult = P50, Children = P20,Students / Senior Citizens = P30. After paying we were given a brochure and the map of the village.

My words will not be enough to describe the treasures that we found inside the village. And so, I will let the pictures speak for it. But be reminded that though pictures can convey the beauty of a place or an object, still it is best to see it with your own eyes…

Things you can do while inside the village:

1) Take pictures of all the things that caught your attention…it’s all worth it.
 
2) Be amazed with the collection of paintings and artworks by the local artists. Most are for sale…so splurge if you can.
3) Climb the stairs until you reached the highest area. (We were not able to, it will be one of our “things to do” on our next visit).

4) Eat at the “Tam-awan Café”. Since it was still early for lunch when we arrived, we tried their freshly brewed Benguet Blend Brewed Coffee at P30 (with a refill) with the huge Lady Finger cookies at P20.

5) Wear the ethnic Ifugao costume for free, but you can drop a donation, and take unlimited pictures with all the poses that you can do.
 

6) Stay for the night and experience how the ancient people live in the traditional Ifugao Hut.

How to Get to Tam-awan Village

By car -- from Burnham Park: take Harrison Road and go up Abanao Road and proceed to Naguilian Road. From Naguilian, turn right to Quezon Hill Road 2, which connects to Tacay Road. On Tacay Road, keep going straight till you reach a fork on the road, Take the road on the left and keep going until you reach Tam-Awan Village. See Map.

By taxi cab -- just tell the driver take you to Tam-awan Village, Pinsao Proper. All cabbies know where this visitor attraction is located.

By jeepney -- take the Plaza-Quezon Hill-Tam-awan jeepney or the Long-long via Tam-awan Jeepney from Kayang Street, behing and above the Baguio City Market.
