Airplane Mode on the iPhone

Besides the fact that enabling Airplane Mode on your iDevice makes you compliant with airline regulations (assuming you onboard on a plane), there are a lot of other benefits in toggling this feature On when you're on land.

 - if you're running out of battery juices on places where there is no network signal, you may want to turn on AP mode instead of turning off your phone. The shutting down and restarting-up of your phone could significantly eat out your battery life.
- AP mode is ideal when sleeping, the fact that you'd grab your phone as soon as you wake up to check the time would complement the AP mode, other functions of your phone are accessible except for the do  not disturb privilege since the cellular network signal has been turned off via AP.
- during Syncs and Backups on the iTunes, it is highly recommended that you turn on the Airplane Mode in order to shove away interruptions. This is also helpful during update, restore and copying of files.
- Chances are, you want to get continuous access to your music, videos or ebooks without the annoyance of notifications brought by cellular data or wifi based presentments, then go ahead and turn on the AP mode and let your iPhone fly.
- my favorite, why i get to always toggle this feature-on is its ability to put your phone into a don't disturb status. No calls, no messages, no incoming alerts. A really good alternative in silencing your phone instead of the mute button esp. Do this during meetings, movie dates, going for a worship service, or during your meditative state.


The Airplane Mode isn't that much strict once and for all, you may want to turn on the Wifi in connecting to the outside world (internet) without letting yourself fall on the immediate impact of calls, text messages or alerts being brought by the cellular network.

Mind Boggle

Sometimes, it isn't enough for the body to be satisfied with the pleasure s this world has to offer. I believe that as you achieve satisfaction and delight, the more it will haunt, the more the body would respond in wanting for more. A feeling where the motivation factor is no longer the need but the excitement it brings whenever the act transpires.

But I also believe in the law of diminishing effect, that as you get to the hang of a certain act, doing it over and over again, the satisfaction and pleasure somehow bounces back not to a higher degree of want or need but it somehow tries to subside. Like a basketball left dribbling on its own until the ball suddenly comes to a halt, unless a hand would propel and tap to get it bouncing one more time.
 

I was thinking that these two thoughts above are somewhat contradicting to each other. And I was torn in trying to reconcile for both to meet halfway in order for me to draw the line in extracting the applicable anti-dote for each.

To reverse the essence  of the law of diminishing effect, would it be hypothetical to note in keeping the pace as slow as possible? So as to prolong the need or want. I guess it could somehow contribute, but could it also be the case by keeping the salt as effective as it was for it negate the lost of taste?

As for the first thought, I'm trying to decipher which creates a greater impact, would it be the sender of the act? Or the receiver of the act? Who could greatly sustain or intensify the need for the act to get it going further? And further… until it will come to such a point that the act is already transitioning to the second thought - the law of diminishing effect.

Could this be true in the name of love?

Or would this apply only to the physical sense of being a human?

Restricted

I shoved you away

And you kept coming back

I told you to stop

But you have been persistent

I want you to win

So I rested my case

I thought it was over

But you said, it has just started

I pleaded for mercy

But you just laugh

I tried to explain

And then you shrugged

I tried to lock my gaze

Yet you vowed your head

I tried to kiss you

Then you can't be moved

I tried to say goodbye

You din't believe me

 I tried to negotiate

But you gave no options

I asked forgiveness

You just smiled

I told you I'm dead serious

You:poker faced, then laughed

I asked you out

You said, yes or no?

I told you it was half-meant

But the period hung

I reached out your hand

And then you were gone.

Dynamic Views: Live on Blogger!

This may seem off topic as an intro for this post but while composing this article, i'm currently downloading and updating the iTunes so i could get to install the iOS5 for my iPhone.

Lo! and Behold, Blogger has finally offered live, the Dynamic Views feature on their blog platform. I wouldn't be able to give a compare and contrast situation between Wordpress and Blogger now, (well, in the first place, i've used WP only once) as Google's offering when it comes to blogging seem to keep on revolutionizing as time passes.

The Dynamic Feature views are pretty neat and user-friendly to activate, make sure that you are into the draft.blogspot.com domain in order to give it a try. There are 7 features for this dynamic viewing and the user (whoever is viewing your blog) can easily switch to their choice like a snap by tweaking the drop down list on the upper right side corner, close to the blog's header.

I personally got diverted with two dynamic views, the Flipcard feature and the Classic one. Flipcard because, it offers a full-view perspective on the contents of the blog, this would definitely appeal to you if you're the picturesque type of person who loves visual more than simplicity.

To cut the semblance of the Flipcard, my preference taste couldn't resist switching to Classic View also. The style was so simple it could really represent and define the true meaning of being a minimalist.

For now, i gotta park this post and let it be published. My thoughts are racing and can't get to wait for my iOS to get updated.

Ciao!!!!

Thankfulness

I rejoice in singing  praises unto You

For I am humbled by Your compassion

For I am lifted through Your mercy

Crying my pain into oblivion

You have given me the courage

Strengthened me from my cares

You wiped my tears of sorrow

Assuring me of Your presence

Words unspoken in truth

I wish to cry out for thankfulness

For Your everlasting clemency

For Your undivided love

Because of the unending guidance

And the light you kept on showing

My path has never wavered

My thoughts were always into You

My appreciation would never be enough

But allow me to extol You

Allow me to share how wonderful You are

That mere words couldn't depict

Through these lines,

May everyone know

That You are the living God

Who never faltered in keeping

the promises You have vowed
