			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Pumpkins, Halloween masks, candles and flowers. These are some that things that are very common during Halloween or as we Filipino termed it &#8220;Undas&#8221;.  This is a yearly celebration commemorating our beloved ones whom had passed away.  During November 1, people usually come to cemetery bringing some flowers and candles and offer some prayers to their dearly beloved ones.</p>
<p>Just this day, Me and my wife (unfortunately my daughter is too young to go with us)  went to the cemetery to light some candles on the grave of my brother, her relatives too. While I was on that place, I was reminiscing my childhood days when I was still collecting some candle drops and roll it into balls and sell it to local merchants, who then as I have known that they recycle this to make candles again. Its funny to think that when I was young I was also collecting these candle drops, making me go round the whole place just to collect more candle drops. I was also thinking that maybe in the future my children would be the one collecting these candle drops too. Well this can be a tradition handed down to my kids. Then another set of memories came, that during these that me and my friends share ghost stories. Stories that makes your shiver in fright and also stories that are hard to explain but they happen. I can still remember that after sharing these stories I wasnt able to come home alone that I ask some old folks to bring me back to our house. Well those were the days&#8230;</p>
<p>On the brighter side, part also of this celebration are the foods being sold on the sidewalk going to the cemetery. Foods that are already synanimous to the celebration. There are these &#8220;okoy&#8221;, &#8220;bibingka&#8221;, &#8220;BBQ&#8221;, &#8220;Sago&#8217;t gulaman&#8221; and &#8220;chicharon&#8221;. Hmmm&#8230; mouth watering indeed. These foods are yearly part of the celebration that without having a bite of them the occasion is incomplete. Well of course me and my wife bought 2 bibinka ang 2 okoy with sauce (suka, garlic and pepper).</p>
<p>While we were heading back home, my mind was wondering off things that I&#8217;m pretty sure you don&#8217;t want to think. Thoughts like when I am dead, will it be my turn to be visited yearly? When will that be? Will I also be buried in the same ground my brother was buried? Or I&#8221;ll just have my body cremated? Well this is a reality check for all of us, nothing is certain in this world but death. &#8220;Oh God I&#8217;m still young, don&#8217;t take me yet, I still have plans to make and goals to achieve&#8221;. But certainly sooner or later we all be dead, its just matter of how will that be and when will that happen. I may sound so creepy but hey! its Halloween, woooo&#8230;. Did I scare you?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last Sunday me and my wife inquired about the SUN Cellular Php350 plan. Well basically the idea came from my friend Dhing whom is a SUN subscriber. According to the representative we talked to, Plan 350 features the following</p>
<ul>
<li>Unlimited Call &amp; Text SUN - SUN</li>
<li>Free 250 Text to other networks</li>
<li>Free Phonekit of your choice between</li>

<p><!--adsense#unit--></p>
<p>The plan is really enticing and tempting because of the offers this plan is giving. But I&#8217;m more concern on the performance of the network. I tried bringing up this problem to the representative to see how they react and tried to twist this problem with their marketing wit. Well they succeeded, because they were able to convince me to give the 350 plan a shot. The deciding factor basically is that they told me that postpaid subscriber have more priority on their network and &#8220;Always Busy Network&#8221; nightmare will seldomly occur as they explain. I was trying to get just a single plan but the representative advise me to get 2 plans each for me and my wife. She told me that I would be easier to call and text postpaid to postpaid because of the priority SUN is giving to them. So again I was captivated by their marketing advise and finally got the 2 350 plan which is 700 pesos a month, whew! But before we decided to get these two me &amp; my wife talked first on how much we really consumed on our prepaid subscription with G****, according to her we are consuming more or less 1000 pesos a month. So comparing all factors weve finally decided that the 2 plans are still reasonable considering our lifestyle. So in the end we got the 2 350 plan with the Samsung SGH-X510 free phone.</p>
<p><strong>So hows the plan now? </strong></p>
<p>On this date we are on the 3rd day of the subscription, well in fairness the representative was right, connection to SUN-SUN was an ease. I didn&#8217;t have to wait for some time till my call is connected unlike the prepaid subscription. Text messaging? no problem! I tried making a test on how long it will take the text to arrive, so approximately 5 seconds, not bad as I have told my wife. So last night I&#8217;ve decided to broadcast my new SUN number to all my friends, I&#8217;m going to use this as my primary number and will later say goodbye to my G**** prepaid number.</p>
<p><strong>So whats the benefit? </strong></p>
<p>In our lifestyle me working in Manila and my wife in Pampanga. Call and text thru cellphone are our only communication from Tuesday to Saturday. Approximately we consume more or less 1000 pesos worth of load with our prepaid subscription. In fairness with G**** the service is the best, but with an alternative as offered by SUN and the savings we can get every month, who will refuse to avail.</p>
