FAKE akomismo Dogtags!

Posted by Jerome Peter T. Tarriela | 10:26 AM | 0 comments »

I was a certified member of (AKOMISMO.org).I saw its cool commercial on the TV last summer vacation, and decided to sign-up for membership. I know a lot of people will join this campaign for its very unique purpose of making each Filipino do something for themselves, for someone, and more over for their country. One thing to mark the members is the so called AKOMISMO dogtag. I received a lot of email notices that was sent to certified members inviting me to come at THE FORT located in Taguig City for a special event where they will also distribute the genuine tags. But, I wasnt be able to come to claim my dog tag because I am too busy with my paperwork's in school.



A lot of people wears the said dogtag today making it a fashion statement rather living its original worth. With the confusion still in my mind, I was just asking myself:" Is it genuine?, Where did they get those?". I just figured out myself that a lot of fake tags are available today also with the same price as the genuine.

In my own point of view, tags are not really necessary for the AKOMISMO.org purpose. We just have to live the true meaning, goals, and vision of the site or the organization itself whether we are wearing those tags or not. We should always remember that action speaks louder than words. T_T

here is the article which I saw on the akomismo site.

PICTURES OF FAKE AKO MISMO DOG TAGS

Dear AKO MISMO members,

We are uploading pictures of the fake dog tags and other items like bags that are being sold by unscrupulous people who have no connection with us at AKO MISMO. The bag design was taken from one of our posters for the DOG TAG DAY event and does not have ours or our talents’ (Angel Locsin, Ely Buendia, Maxene Magalona) permission.

The fake dog tags are easy to spot as they use stickers bearing a bad copy of our logo design over a metal dog tag. Some are made of wood.





Please be warned that the only merchandise we are selling are dog tags and Team Manila Tshirts and lanyards which are currently being sold at Team Manila stores in Rockwell 2nd floor, Mall Of Asia 2nd floor, Crossings Trinoma, BelAir Makati store (146b Jupiter) and by July 15, in Trinoma 3rd floor. Team Manila will also be carrying our dog tags, both the regular and premium edition, by 2nd week of July.

Our dog tags are currently also being sold in the following outlets:

1. Mail and More outlets
2. Café Mary Grace in Serendra, Trinoma, and Ermita, and in Mary Grace kiosks in 10 major malls
3. Lobby of Two World Square building, Mckinley Hill, the Fort, Taguig


We have also authorized our beneficiary partners World Vision, Dynamic Teen Company, PLDT Smart Foundation, and Caritas Manila and DDB Cares to sell our dog tags. You may contact us to report any counterfeits you see being sold by emailing us at cctuazon@ddbphil.com. You may also contact us for fast action on your dog tag purchases at this email address.

To our members who have waited patiently for genuine dog tags to reach their locations and are still waiting patiently today, we express our deepest gratitude. We will be deploying nationwide the second batch by no later than 2nd week of July.

We ask your help to call the attention of people you know or see buying the fake dog tags. Supporting unethical and unauthorized selling activity through purchases of fake dog tags and other merchandise is simply against the principles of AKO MISMO. Sadly, it also deprives the charities and socio-civic organizations of the much needed funds we are raising through the sale of genuine dog tags.

The AKO MISMO dog tag is a symbol of our commitment to create positive change in this country. As many of you have expressed, it is not just a fashion accessory. We hope that you will help us in our crusade to stop this proliferation of fakes by telling your friends and warning everyone about the counterfeits taking advantage of our cause. Also we encourage you to partner your dog tags with your pledges on our site as a genuine gesture of your commitment to the movement.

Mga ka-mismo, tayo mismo ang magbantay ng lahat ng ating pinahahalagahan sa kilusang ito!

Ive seen the movie, and all I can give is a thumbs up for all who work hard for it. A must see! The graphics are way too cool and awesome. It was fantastic! I love the fact that a lot of characters are added to the second movie offer of Michael Bay. Action - Packed and really amazing.


But what is this? I was browsing on the internet early on this day as I wait for my early Saturday class until I find this cool pictures of PINOY TRANSFORMERS which consist of PINOY ROAD KINGS, such as jeeps, bus, pedicabs and many more. Here are the pictures check it out. Whoever created this via adobe photoshop or what, you are great. The credits are all yours.

I thought once in a while that I will not be back in blogging this past days. I was busy enough, and kinda feeling a little bit tired of this thing. I didnt know what will I post, well just dont mind me. I am just like this in some days of the year. A lot of things happened in the past weeks that Im gone of blogging, OBAMA wins the US presidential election, I had bought a new cellphone (NOKIA 5200),I had been busy maintaining my websites and Ive enrolled for the second semester of my third year course at my school and a whole lot more.

Maybe I was just busy enough, But I just cant escape this blogging thing cause it gives me unequalled happiness and satisfaction even if my adsense doesnt give me enough income as others experiencing.(lol)

hoping to be back soon in full force!

iPhone Beware! Nokia 5800 xpressmusic is here!

Posted by Jerome Peter T. Tarriela | 12:25 PM | | 6 comments »





I was stunned by this news from yahoo. About the debut release of the Nokia's iphone like phone. and I was amaze with its ton's of cool features. Here's the article...

Armed with a roomy touch display, stereo speakers, and—eventually—a year's worth of free music, Nokia's long-awaited touchscreen phone (formerly known as "The Tube") will make its debut in London today. Can it compete with the iPhone and T-Mobile's Google-powered G1?

First, let's cover the specs: Measuring 4.4 by 2 by 0.6 inches, the 3G- and Wi-Fi-enabled 5800 (set for global release by the end of the year, but not in North America until the "early part" of 2009) is more or less the same size as the iPhone 3G and the G1, although at 3.8 ounces, it's significantly lighter than both of its touchscreen competitors (the iPhone is about 4.8 ounces, while the G1 weighs in at a hefty 5.6 ounces).

So, how's the 5800's 3.2-inch touchscreeen? I haven't had a chance to try it in person, but the Symbian-powered display looks (from the press images, at least) reasonably sleek—somewhere between the clunkier interface on the G1 and the iPhone's eye-popping UI. No multitouch (so no "pinch"-type gestures), mind you, but the 5800 has an accelerometer that lets you turn the phone sideways for a virtual, landscape-oriented QWERTY keypad. You'll also be able to enter text using a half-size, portrait QWERTY keypad (with a stylus, if you like), T9 text prediction, or handwriting recognition.

Nokia promises a couple of key one-touch interface features, including a "Contacts Bar" that gives you quick access to your "favorite" four contacts, along with a "Media Bar" that'll let you tap into your music, videos, and images. Not bad, although I'd also like to see a status/alerts toolbar like the G1's.

As its name implies, the 5800 XpressMusic is more about tunes than productivity, so don't expect out-of-the-box support for BlackBerry or Exchange servers (although this being a Symbian phone, there's nothing stopping third parties from filling the void). Instead, the 5800 comes with stereo speakers, support for stereo Bluetooth headsets, a 3.5mm headset jack (which doubles as a TV-out port), and up to 16GB of microSD memeory expansion for your tunes.

The 5800 will also support Nokia's much-touted "Comes with Music" service, which will let you download all the free tunes you can stand—but just for 12 months, with a helping of DRM on the side. (CNET has details on all the restrictions right here.) Also, keep in mind that the cost of all those "free" tunes will be passed along via an inflated price tag for upcoming "Comes with Music" handsets (the Nokia N95 and 5310 XpressMusic phones will also be getting "Comes with Music" support), although Nokia reps didn't have details on how big the surcharge will be. Still, the music catalog looks to be pretty solid, with all four of the major labels (as well as some indies) signed on.

Back to the 5800 itself: The phone also comes with a 3.2MP camera, complete with Carl Zeiss optics, a dual LED flash, and video recording (up to 30fps). GPS and Nokia Maps are included for navigation. Sorry, gamers—no N-Gage support on the 5800, at least for now.

Nokia hasn't released U.S. pricing details—or carriers, if any—for the 5800 yet. (Since the 5800 is a GSM handset, it'll only work with GSM-based carriers such as AT&T and T-Mobile.) In Europe, however, the phone (minus "Comes with Music," for now) will sell for 279 euros, or about US$385—not bad, considering the sky-high price tag of Nokia's N-series beauties.

How does the 5800 XpressMusic stack up with the iPhone and the G1? Well, hard to say until I see the phone itself in action—and especially whether the 5800's touch interface measures up to the two touch heavyweights.

My initial impression? I'm a bit underwhelmed, frankly; it's almost as if Nokia is wading cautiosly into the touchscreen pool with the 5800. What I'm really waiting for is a full-on, touchscreen Nseries handset, complete with a revamped interface designed specifically for touch. In any case, I'm reserving any final judgement until I get an actual unit in for review. (Update: Gizmodo just published a quick hands-on report, and so far, the touchscreen sounds pretty lackluster: "On the prototype we played with briefly, it's much harder to get touches to register, and far less accurate than the iPhone's capacitive screens. The 5800 packs a built-in stylus for this reason—you'll be using it a lot." Ouch.)

So, what's your take? Like what you see? Disappointed? Fire away!
