Can the Blackberry Z10 Convince You?

I've had a Blackberry since 2009. First was the Curve 8520, then at mid-2010, I had it changed into a Bold 9700. But in December 2011, I got an iPhone 4S a week after it was  launched. I didn't give up my Blackberry despite having an iPhone because I can't let go of all my BBM contacts. I just subscribed to Php 99/mo BB CHAT as an add-on to my existing postpaid plan. My experiences with my BB have been very bad most especially with its battery, and its motherboard. I really wanna throw mine away.

Anyway, my only point here is, I've been using Blackberry for years and just when I am close to giving up my BB, here comes Blackberry Z10. The features and specs are very impressive and it shows a Blackberry that got 10x better. However, I'm just doubtful about how tough this product is because I've seen a Blackberry hang a lot of times. It has caused me and my friends a lot of troubles already so I don't wanna trust any BB product anymore. Even if they've done good on the Playbook, I would still prefer another tablet over that.

Hats off to Blackberry for its courage of releasing such a product, even if they've been losing global market share in the past few years. However, I wasn't convinced to upgrade my BB 9700 to BB Z10 because as much as possible, I wanted to stay with iOS and get an Android (Samsung Note 2) later.

Nice TVC though. :p

The KPop Experience: Guess Who!

Last January 20, I was at NAIA Terminal 2 with my uncle, grandma, and cousins because we were sending away our cousin back to Japan. Outside the international departure entrance, there's a big crowd (mostly girls) waiting but I just ignored them.

Our family stayed at the end-most part of the departure area wherein no one else were staying, While chatting there, the huge crowd 10 meters away from us turned screaming so I ran towards their direction to check what's going on. Some KPop guys got off a van and walked to the departure entrance gates. A lot of bouncers were there to control the crowd. Then I saw this girl who was crying like a "2-year-old kid whose lollipop fell on the ground". I got so curious that I asked her friend what's going on. The girl said it was "Infinite", a KPop group who joined the Girls' generation concert the previous night. The girl who turned hysterical got a bit calmer and hugged her friend as she said she can't believe she saw her idols. Woah! I was speechless. I left the scene and headed back to where I was standing first.

While I was chatting with my grandma and cousin, there's a black van that came and everybody at the departure entrance gates went screaming again. I got curious so I ran towards their direction again, until the van stopped in front of me. To my surprise, some cute Korean guys got off the van and the shouting girls came running towards me but they were stopped by the bouncers. So they were all blocked by the bouncers while I was there on the other side completely enjoying the view of these Kpop guys without competition haha! I took photos of them; but I didn't catch them looking because they were all in a hurry. I tweeted their photos and some Kpop fans responded that those guys were actually U-Kiss. Well I wasn't really familiar with Kpop guys because they all looked the same to me plus they belong in big groups that it's so hard to remember their faces, most especially their names. So, can you help me identify who these guys are?
