fredcMay naiwan ako sa isang bus. Malabo na yatang ma-claim ko yun. Fine.
I was sad to lose five books previously. Imagine giving up all of them and starting to collect from scratch.

Was pleasantly surprised to find some old input methods available as alternative third party keyboards! pic.twitter.com/a2NgCYcoUU
The only input entry that I miss is Blackberry’s keyboard

It couldn't make up its mind whether to be faithful to the original material or try something new and different. It felt very chop seuy.
And Gal Gadot as the villain... Very fitting. 🤪
Ok then. I’m skipping watching this in the cinema.

I am backing up my social media posts on my website. Since I am the site's primary audience, I should write posts as a note to myself in the future.

Banks should make it an option NOT to use SMS as a start.
First step, should be to add an option aside from SMS. Back in my home town, it is difficult to receive SMS. Currently, it is also difficult to receive SMS outside of the Philippines.

jsampan (business.inquirer.net)MANILA, Philippines — The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) wants financial firms to eventually move away from one-time passwords (OTP) and instead adopt a more secure and sophisticated method of authenticating transactions to combat fraud and other financial cybercrime. During the recent media information session of the BSP, central bank Deputy Governor Elmore Capule stressed […]
OTP via SMS is very vulnerable to fraud. Time for PH banks to phase that out.

For my phone, never. I’ll wait for them to offer. For my laptop/tablet that we (meaning me and the home owner/renter) need to work on, immediately.

And to me it still looks like a #WhiteAndGold dress and not #BlueAndBlack. I can’t adjust my perception to make it look blue and black unlike with other reversible optical illusions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_dress
I only see it as black-blue. Can’t perceive it as white-gold.
