Kitten has been reminding me to install Skype on my phone, since we both have >1GB of mobile data plan, and we could never ever maximize our usage. Also, by chatting through Skype, we will actually save on our talktime/SMSes.

The procrastination ended today, when I found out that Skype has officially ended the beta testing on Skype 3.0 for Windows Mobile.

Here are the new features:

* feature: SMS
* feature: File Transfer
* feature: Add to Contacts Wizard
* feature: Dial Helper
* improvement: Emoticons support in mood messages/about me
* improvement: Hyperlinks support in mood messages/about me
* improvement: Added option to block users from search results
* improvement: New user interface for Status tab, history and chat
* improvement: Option to Remove Skype folder from Application Data during uninstallation

So now, me and kitten are saving money as we speak! W00t! If you got Skype, add me too!

Man, I wished English Premier League have such commercials during the time when I was still active in Fantasy Soccer.

Watching “The Triangle” in the “CSI:NY” series, the “Bermuda Triangle of New York” caught my interest. It seems like this is really happening in New York, though reports have yet to confirm whether the Empire State Building was indeed the “culprit”.

From FOX News:

NEW YORK — It’s been dubbed the “Empire State Building Effect.” And now questions are being raised as to whether the famous skyscraper may really be Manhattan’s version of the Bermuda Triangle.

Every day about 10-15 cars and trucks simply stop working within a 5-block radius of the 102-story building, according to a report in the New York Daily News.

In one recent incident, a person said he had to lock his vehicle manually because the keyless remote-controlled lock was disabled. He came back to find he was locked out and had to call a car service which used a crowbar to get the door open, the Daily News writes.

The alleged “effect” dissipates rapidly as you move away from the building. “You pull the car four or five blocks to the west or east and the car starts right up,” says Isaac Leviev, manager of Citywide Towing, in the Daily News report.

According to the Daily News, some engineers and automobile experts hypothesize that radio signals from the Empire State Building’s 203-foot-long, antenna-laden spire is at the root of the problem.

However, the FCC says it has not received any complaints and Empire State Building officials have shot down the claims.

CSI:NY is starting to grow on me, making it joint-favorite with CSI:Las Vegas. (CSI:Miami is way too showy for me.) Knowing what’s gonna happen in CSI:NY, I can’t wait for 7 more episodes…:)

So, Blake Griffen got drafted as the #1 pick of the 2009 NBA Draft, which wasn’t much of a surprise, since the LA Clippers have already decided quite some time ago.

As expected, Clippers’ season-ticket holder, Bill Simmons aka The Sports Guy, wrote an open letter to Blake, telling him about the Clippers Curse. They were even rated as “The Worst Sporting Franchise EVER” by ESPN.

Perhaps their luck will turn around soon with this new guy….let’s just hope he doesn’t blow his ACL 4 months in the season.

…than to wake up from a bad gastric flu, and to find that your dearie has cooked a nice bowl of soupy dinner for you to eat.

Thanks dear. Muacks.

Spotted at the Italy – Brazil match in the Confederations Cup in South Africa was a little boy eating ice-cream.

What’s so special about it?

And there’s his 15 minutes of fame. Bravo.

According to Harry Hotspurs & a Spurs ITK forum, Tottenham will be selling Captain Robbie Keane to Sunderland.

Really?

I thought Robbie Keane was still with Liverpool. When did Spurs signed him back?

Of course, nothing is confirmed till the official word is out. Meanwhile, let’s sit back, and let the rumors fly…

Most of us during our school days were drilled with the fact that 1 should keep their BMI at a healthy range, and the formula to calculate it is:

However, I never fully found it to be a reliable indicator, since those with muscular builds have high BMI due to having low % of fat. (Note: Please do not use the commonly-mistaken phrase “Muscles Weigh More Than Fats“…)

The Same Difference

After years of procrastination, with the “new” BMI Revisions, I’ve decided to re-calculate my BMI for the 1st time in a decade…

…and my score is 24. In the Moderate Risk range.


*GULP*


Guess I MUST reduce my BMI by:
1) Grow taller with another puberty spurt
OR
2) Exercise & watch my diet.

So, have you calculate your BMI yet?

The reason why I’m MIA for so long, is due to Plurk. When one can easily blurb out his thoughts in 140 characters or less, there is less interest in typing out a full-length blog post.

Until now.

Let’s see how long this will last.

P.S.: Yes, I’m on Twitter too, but I ain’t really a fan of it. My Tweets are entirely from my Plurks, so please don’t bother to drop me a private message on Twitter.

Test Test…Am I still alive?
