iOS 14 Beta - Review from a Pinoyblogger

(para sa mga di nakapanood ng WWDC 2020 last June 22, or kung nawatch mo siya at you're wonderin how was it to experience Apple's iOS14, then you can read further on my personal take with Apple's soon to be released and bestest iOS thus far to date)



I have been using iOS14 developer's beta for almost week now on the iPhone 8Plus, must i say - it's quite stable and funky in a sense it's trendy or timely in these times of crises and the challenges amidst us (not only in the Philippines but to the whole wide world of cyberspace and tech).


Let's deep-dive in some of my fave upgrades/improvements:


1. iMessage

  • in-line replies (finally, this long-awaited feature was answered)



  • pinned messages (yuppers, the UI for the pinned messages is impressive, you can see a preview if yung "ka-text" mo is using iMessage too)


  • memojis with facemask (methinks this is a form of influencing, to remind your friends that seriously wearing facemasks at appropriate times can make a difference)






2. Floating Widgets
  • para siyang live tiles ni Microsoft (if ever you noticed Microsoft Windows)
  • these widgets are floated and cuztomizable as you add them app on your screens alongside your apps
  • it can be

 











3. App Library

  • yung last screen mo sa iOS13 stops on the last page as is, pero dito sa iOS14, there's the so called App Library.
  • apps are clubbed neatly, aesthetically, and organized in way that is pleasing or easy on the eyes
  • you can search the library if you aren't into flicking or scrolling to get what you want





Those were my top 3 faves, not to mention the "sound recognition" feature, the "sleep" tracking mechanism from Apple Watch - which i'm waiting for the weekly report similar to screen time.



I will keep this updated or must i post another article soon as i come across with other features.



Thanks for reading.

Smilin Back At Me



you, undecided...


you told me, to wait.
i waited...
so long,
almost, a
decade has
passed and yet,
there you are,
still,
busy
contemplating,
either to accept
me, or
forsake my
offer for
you, to
be my
one, in
chasing...
forever.

Ever Grateful To You Forever More



It's been a wee bit two weeks, i am still stoked. Speechless at times.
How You blessed me, Your abounding grace - Your endless love.


The lift and boost to my confidence - You gave, without hesitation.
You answered my prayers - even amidst the darkness and chaos.


You have been so loving, so kind, and all the more caring.
Words, and even sentences cannot describe Your grand love.


For You have lifted my spirit, my body and my mind.
I came to write this - to carve again digitally, how wonderful You are.


I wanted to let the world know; those who stumble upon this page,
That You are the Almighty, all powerful God!


The God of Adam and Eve; the God of Abraham; of Jacob
Of Israel.. and the same God whom we are worshipping today.


The God of the christian church; of whom Your son has redeemed.
The God of the Church of Christ - in these last days.


I am thankful. Beyond grateful. Beyond praises.
For You have been ever true - to Your promises.

Bawal

warning: this is not to evoke thoughts of the parallel universe. read with caution and only for the entertainment of the mind, and soul.









hinahanap ko lasa mo
yung pait sa labi ko
yung usok na lalabas sa bibig ko
alam kong masama
nakakamatay pa nga
pero masarap ang bawal
ano kaya kapag tinikman ko
ang tulog na walang katapusan
masarap rin kaya?

Kislap na Nawala




Isang simpleng pang aasar na nauwi sa isang lihim na pagtingin.
Ako kaya'y iyong ibigin?
Ako'y patuloy na nagpapapansin.
Ngunit nasa iba nga pala ang iyong tingin.

Makikita mo kaya?
Makikita mo kaya ang bituing may mahinang kislap?
Makikita mo kaya ang kinang na hindi makita ng iba?
Makikita mo kaya ang bituing nagtatago sa alapaap?

Masaya akong makilala ka.
Masaya akong maging kaibigan ka.   
Masaya akong nagustuhan kita.
Masaya aking minamahal kita.

Inisip kong paano kung ako siya?
Paano kung ako yung maningning at nagliliwanag?
Paano kung ako yung bituing iyong tinitingala?
Magiging tayo kaya?

Napagpasiyahan kong mas mabuti ngang hindi na kita gambalain pa.
Batid ko kasing ika'y masaya na sa kaniya.
At hindi mo na ako kailangan pa,
Kaya eto ako ngayon at ang ningning ay nawala na.

Anong Ginagawa Mo?



Simula ng tumama
Salot na nagmula Sa ibang Bansa Mga tao ay wala ng nagawa Iba man ay apektado Pinilit lumabas kahit delikado Sa bantay ng lansangan tayo ay saludo Una ang ama ng bayan ang ating pangulo (PRRD) Hakbang ng iba nagtiktok Para maiwasan sobrang pagkabagot Ang iba nman mensahe ay humuhugot Makatang dila'y dagliang nahubog Samakatuwid iba iba ang resulta Nang melenyal na ngayoy pangdemya Hinahanapan pa ng lunas at bakuna Para kahit sa paanoy magaaral ay makapagaral na sila Mga estudyanteng kabataan Bahay bahay ang silid-aralan Pinapanukalang pag-aaral ay doon na lamang
Bastat may kumpyuter kumonek sa internet lamang Karamihan naman pagbili ang inaatupag Minsay pagtitinda ng produkto pagkain sa hapag Kadalasay bitamina pampaganda Kasabay Ng sumba, at nang pag eehersisyo Mga may hanap buhay sa bahay ginawa Upisina nilay kawarto oh kayay Sala Malimit sa dakong di sila magambala Ng kanilang pamilya Magpahanggang ngayon ganito ang sistema Mga driver tigil pasada muna Anu kaya ginagawa nila? Para may maipang tustos sa pamilya Anu kayang diskarte nila ngayong panahon ng pangdemya

Ako'y Maghihintay








Binibilang ang bawat patak ng ulan Kung kailan matatapos ay hindi ko alam Katulad ng paghihintay na tila walang katapusan Hinihiling na sana nama'y masuklian Pagmamahalang ipinagdarasal na mabigyang katuparan Naranasan mo na bang matagal na magisa? Sa pagmumuni muni'y nalimutan na kailangan mo ring maging masaya Hanggang isang araw natuklasan ang tunay na ligaya ay wala na pala Tawa at ngiti sa iyong mga labi kaytagal na napawi na Ilang tawag ng pag ibig na ba ang pinalagpas? Nanghihinayang sa tuwinang maaalala ang nakalipas Mas piniling sarilinin ang panahon at ang oras Nagpaikot ikot sa gitna ng mundo na tila ang bukas ay wala nang wakas Kung tadhana'y naririnig sinasambit ng aking bibig At sakaling dumating isa pang pag ibig Na sa tuyot na puso'y muling magbibigay pintig Yayakapin ng mahigpit at ikukulong sa bisig Hahayaang ang aking damdamin ang maging musika at magpahayag ng aking himig

I Love You, Life








aren't we all just messed-up pieces?
like broken shards of colored glass?
each
piece
representing a different time when we lived,
we loved,
we were alive,
and then
we were left,
shattered,
only to find we had another purpose in being left behind.
for else who could take the light from the sun and tear it apart into a million colors,
but the glass mosaics that we had become.
and now when the light passes through,
selected,
but our torn hues.
the myriad colors of the unbeatable sun,
dancing,
with glee.
then,
for any who looked within us,
or beyond where the light hit the ground they would see,
glinting and shimmering,
