Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth and you get neither. 

C. S. Lewis 

I know there's no way to go by posting this without me sounding emo or mushy (no pun intended), but really it isn't my intention and resolve. It's just that it feels good in listening to this song. 

It's a beautiful song for your heart. Ain't it?

How to run the Blackberry Self Test?

All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them. 

Walt Disney 

For those who belong to the BB Team, here's a hidden app on your smartphone that you'll find useful esp when you're at  wits end in sorting out if the problem is a hardware or software.

There's actually a self test feat of this sleek and beautiful phone, whatever model you've got, as long as you're running a software version of 4.something or later, then you can run this hidden app from your phone.

Here's how:

1. Click on OPTIONS icon from the homescreen

2. Scroll down all the way to STATUS, then click it

3. Once you're on the status screen, just type TEST from your keypad and it should bring up the menu for the self-test application.

4. Select Start, and you're good to go, you must see something like this:

It's kinda helpful and could provide insights to better judgment from current issues you're experiencing at hand.

One of the downside though that pisses me off, the test is INTERACTIVE, all i thought before was, it could run on its own, however, you must need to attend to it and answer with a yes or no for the tests that you selected to run, this of course is based on your perception whether the output was satisfied as desired by the instructions given.

Go see it for yourself!!!

Let me know your thoughts if you found it useful thru the comments.

Decoy

Even when I'm old and grey, I won't be able to play it, but I'll still love the game. 

Michael Jordan 

... i'd love to enter in your stargazing scape,
feel... get enthralled, with utmost excitement
would savor the finite bliss of ignorance
but then you're giving me this lil chance...

i could let my imagination imbibe your presence
and let go of my anxiety, as if no one's to blame.
yet i certainly know, that it isn't right or makes sense,
to indulge further, deeper in your game

i must stop now, or must i not?
should i suffer needlessly, or be the nonesuch as i was?
you blurted, "must come now" or "never"
i said, "why would i care?"

your idea seem minute at first
then it grew! so real, i got amazed!
i wanted to kill it but you made the seance as you were
entrapping me twisted, coiled and unremembered

now you read this, and you got appalled
but your smile is unchanging, cuz deep inside you know
how to unravel, solve and then kill the puzzle:
to break into pieces, to bequeath and say farewell.

yet i knew enough, and damaged is yet to come
lamentation feels like forever
drawing in, engulfing my home
must i stir up or beguiled of what it has to offer.

come, and be closer
open my eyes to your decoy
but leave my mind shut
so as not to feel the revolting physics of your choice...

I just dunno if this has gone viral on the internet lately. Yet, you can imagine the possibilities, what it has to offer, and the awesome complications of owning such one.

Mental Lexicon: crisis undelivered

Don't change on me. Don't extort me unless you intend to do it forever. 

Tupac Shakur 

As part of my never-ending quest to append the list in my vocabulary, i'm starting a new series in my blog called Mental Lexicon. As you've noticed on the left side column last week, i've been posting words with their meanings beside their word class. I cannot deny the fact that i have some grammatical lapses at times but what is most important is to strive for progress, and that is one of the reasons why i'm going to religiously post words everyday thru the mental lexicon sidebar; a word a day, 7 words a week and this will be posted as a weekly entry to this blog.

I can't think of any more creative scheme in the enrichment of my vocabulary of the english language other than this, it helps to improve my retention of words. If you're going to ask how do i pick my word of the day, it prolly depends on my mood and mental ability to remember the most striking word i've met during the whole day that passed. As long i my internet is up, i'd do my best to post the word of the day.

If you're generous enough, you may want to drop a WORD of the DAY in the comments section, lucky you if the word you said is a stranger in my vocabulary, i'd be happy to post it and add it up the next night. AND OR if the word you want me to add is something you may want to ponder on later. MY BIG REQUEST though is to leave your codename along with the word, so i can attribute it to you in my blog post.

Here's the first batch of the 7 day adventure of word encounters. I have called the bunch "CRISIS UNDELIVERED", so the title says it. Try to internalize the common denominator of 'em all.
