    Trixia Salonga

    Hi! I'm Trixia and welcome to my slice of life. I'm not your average blogger, I'm a hybrid of multi-dimensional shoujo, a rare breed of legal loli and a unique original producer of ideas and inspiration. My path goes on the other side of the road which is less traveled, where thrill and excitement rests. This blog holds my inner thoughts, experiences, opinions and out-of-the-ordinary theories which I keep as a journal of my life's highlights. Contact me at reshadollyprincess@gmail.com for collaboration

    Today I will introduce to you a special gadget that we tested to undergo extreme situations in order to give you a very important information which might help you, especially in emergency cases.

    This is not an advertisement, I bought this phone because I am always on the search for rare gadgets.



    So without further ado let me introduce to you a phone last released in the year 2015 that caught my attention, Firefly Mobile E-100 Max!


    E-100 Max is a rugged basic phone that you'll need even in emergencies and toughest situations.

    The price is P899 with a 1-year warranty and has the battery life of  5500 Mah, tried and tested to last without charging for a month. At first, I had doubts if I should take the unit, but Firefly Mobile always had a good record to me when I bought a new phone from them a year ago, right there I inquired of the specifications:




    5500mah Power Bank
    Dual Sim
    Tough Phone
    Fog Light Torch Camera
    2 MP Camera
    Mini USB plug
    Bluetooth
    FM Radio


    We did a test in order to find out if this phone is worthy of being called a tough phone.

    1. Water Test ( 1 foot deep)
       A dipper was used about 1 foot deep and we soaked the phone for a minute or two, phone is working.
    2. Shock Test (5 Feet Height)
       Dropping the Phone from 5 feet High, no internal system damage, few scratches.

    3. Torch Test (lasts a week turned on)
      We turned on the Flashlight for 168 hours continuous without using other applications.




    4. 1 Month Battery Life test Abuse Test
      No charging for 30 days with continuous use of messaging ( 2 hours), phone(2 Hours), music via headphone (4 hours played) each day. 1 hour speaker maximum volume, battery level was left 5% after 30 days

    5. Speaker Test - Continuously playing song lasts for 2 days in full volume battery was left 20% after 2 days maximum volume.

    Comparison:
    In contrast to My Phone SOS Phone, this phone has an advantage with its powerful battery life which can assure you will serve you for a month without charging. Imagine the perfect companion that can give you peace of mind that communications intact on the time of great need.

    Tough Phone's weight is fair compared to My Phone SOS Phone.
    Fist Grip size is good especially for call.

    Have you ever spent your time on the phone trying out to access your account, but you're still unable to pass through their authentication process? It's literally frustrating, right?

    Today I am going to give a few tips for you to prevent that scenario from happening or if it did happen, I'll also jot some tips to help you reset your password or help you recover your authentication details.

    Uverse account Authentication

    1. ATT PIN is IMPORTANT!

        So jot it down or get a password app to protect your information, the digits that ATT operators always ask to gain access is the key to every information on your account.

    Tip: Register digit pins that are easy for you to remember, the generation of this pin is often asked when you subscribe to a new service.

        Once you forget the pin, ask for another option or the operator might ask for more authentication questions.

    2. Security Question is your second life line.

      When you don't remember your passcode or pin, operators would often ask a question. Be careful on providing the answer as the system might block the number of retries.

    Tip: During Security Question generation, the operator might provide some default security question on the system then you will provide the answer, but some can actually personalize the questions, for example, ask your operator to input question of your mother's maiden name then provide the answer.

    In some authentication, they may also require for you to ask for your SSN, which often asked by Telcos or Mobility accounts

    3. Let them call the Number on File

    The last lifeline, once you fail to provide the password or the answer to security question, operators would ask to place you on hold in order to call a number on file as the last step of authentication.

    Tip: Let the operator call the number and do not expect them to provide the information since all information on the file are considered confidential until authenticated.

    If you have call waiting, tell the operator. Expect an incoming call once the first line is placed on hold, if they get you on the line, the account is fully authenticated, Yey!

    If not, the operator will tell you to

    Go to an ATT Store near you, provide your ID and reset your password and other Authentication details.

    Do not get upset if you'll be needing to go to an ATT store to reset your authentication details, ATT will protect your information the best way that they can and this is how they do it.

    Tip: If you actually do not remember any authentication details that you provided when you created the account, it's best to head on to an ATT store and reset the information immediately.

    We got into an incredible idea of putting pieces together like a jigsaw puzzle, you can say this a mere assumption on our part. It all started while I was working to promote tourism in the Philippines and little did we notice that some places in the Philippines resembling those of Anime scenes.

    We did a few round ups and these are our findings. Be informed that there is no factual basis and these are just assumptions for fun blogging.

    Whenever you watch anime do some of the settings or a certain scene remind you of Philippines? If yes, then we can relate, if not though then this would be a greater chance for you to discover Philippines Iconic places resembling anime in real life.

    MAGIC KNIGHT RAYEARTH X QUEZON CITY CIRCLE

    Anime: Magic Knight Rayearth
    Philippine resemblance: Quezon City Memorial Circle

    Wouldn't it be great to visit Cephiro from Magic Knight Rayearth in real life? Pack your bags and check out Philippines resemblance of Cephiro.

    Cephiro is a location of a magical world in Magic Knight Rayearth, where the survival and destiny depend on the will of a Princess or one who is in power. It is the home land of people often called "Land of the will".

    Cephiro's continents are separated by a large ocean with floating crystal islands are seen in the sky. Although beautiful and majestic as it looks, Cephiro holds creatures and monsters which threaten life forms.

    The Philippines holds histories of known creatures and supernatural beings which once was thought to have defended the land from invaders.

    The three pillars on Magic Knight Rayearth represents the three Mashin (Rune) gods, known as the legendary guardians of Cephiro. While in the Philippines, the three pylons are three mourning angels holding Sampaguita (a national flower) wreaths represents the three main islands, Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.

    A perfect example. The picture on the right is one of the Mashin (Rune) god, Rayearth. The Shield of Rayearth resembles that of the Angel Wings on the right.

    The two has powerful similarities in terms of meaning, Eternal Rest. The gods in Magic Knight serve as executioners to Cephiro's Pillar, the Princess. Whereas in Q.C's angel serves as a memorial for the passing of Manuel L. Quezon, the Father of Philippine national language.

    ATTACK ON TITAN X INTRAMUROS


    Much debate that the towns inside the walls in the Anime Attack on Titan Shiganshina is synonymous with the Town in Germany, but there is an evidently big difference when it comes to the map arrangement including the river where they use to escape from the Titans, this assumption though is much closer to Intramuros, Manila, Philippines.

    One of my dreams is to travel internationally. My bucket list includes visiting the romantic City of Paris and I am delighted to be able to share with you the places that I plan to visit. 

    A creative artist needs an inspiration. Inspiration is everything in creation, it is the invisible force or a fuel in order for an artist to create unimaginable unique art.

    Paris is one of the dreamy cities where all the creativity had poured out from each artist and brought them to life.

    Every inch of the city is a masterpiece and no doubt it is on my list, even their official language has art!

    Nowadays, the Greatest Investment is Experience and what better way to do that is to enjoy visiting the places that would get me to enjoy and at the same time boost up all my creativity.

    My master plan when visiting Paris would definitely start after the arrival at the airport.


    TAXI (whistles) !!!

    Whistle no more as this time my plan includes a hassle free transportation after my flight. To complete my dream I will definitely hire a Luxurious Taxi Service and to make it happen what I will do is to:

    Start with I bookmarked and written on my priority list or planner, a Trusted Taxi Service or Shuttle Service. They will ensure you that you get to your destination safe and sound plus in style!

    I don't have a father with an image of  Liam Neelson to rescue me from kidnapping, it is better to be sure rather than to risk my life and not be prepared once you have landed on your trip to Paris.


    They can get you a low-cost booking Taxi and Shuttle services with T2 Traslados or also called T2 Transfers from the airport to any destination on their database.


    FEEL LIKE ROYALTY WITH THIS SERVICE....


    T2 Traslados is the leading provider of Taxis & Shuttle Services offering Taxi Services, Shuttles, & Shuttles to and from Paris Airports.

    The driver will wait for the passenger with a sign showing the client's name. The driver can understand and speak English, Spanish and French. The Customer Service is open 24/7. 

    Sweet, isn't it?

    Now to book their website, go their web page: T2 Traslados and translate the website to English for easier reading.

    Then translate their page thru Chrome






    To get started, go to Step 1 and pick the reason for the booking. The options are Arrival, Departure and  Check in and out

    Departure - Choose option if you are heading to the airport.
    Check in and out - Choose option if you are heading to any other destination except for departure but will be needing to go back to your hotel later on.

    On my First day, I might be Jet lagged after a long haul flight, I'm glad that Unilab has United Home Dizitab (Meclizine HCL), the perfect relief from dizziness or motion sickness. Digitab is only P9.50 per piece.
    United Home has a line of health and wellness for your travel needs for that memorable and enjoyable trip, we should be healthy and worry free from sickness. United Home is your travel partner for your health and wellness needs!

    No matter what time I arrive at my Hotel Room, I'm pretty sure I would be famished. This would be the best time to try out Macaroon, Croissants & Pastries!




    but as you all know I do have my Hyperacidity after a meal, then the best medicine to take as per doctors recommended would be Supracid (Sodium Bicarbonate), Supracid is only P0.75 per piece.



    Cheese tasting is part of food tour that I'm planning to do on my first day!

    I have to be prepared for the worst, my stomach might get upset, if worse comes to worse, I should have a medicine prepared for diarrhea, United Home Loperamide (Lormide) for only PHP 8.00 per piece, is a must to have in my medicine pack.






    On my second day, I'm planning to visit would be
    The Famous Eiffel Tower 



    Taking pictures and finding the most romantic spot would be my best things to do for this day.
    It would be wonderful to visit some of the streets surrounding the Eiffel, grab some morning breakfast and go sight seeing.



    I would definitely be trying out a different tour, riding a royal horse and carriage in Paris seemed the best experience if I am tired of walking around.

    I found a perfect booking for the Ride.

    At Night, Paris comes alive and I think it would definitely be great to Cruise at Seine River.
    At 85 euros I could get an intimate dinner by the window while cruising and book with no hassle!

    Then After the Romantic dinner, I shall then go back to the Hotel to be prepared for tomorrow's new itinerary!


    While Yesterdays was all about Romance today would be getting back with my childhood dreams.
    I booked in T2 Traslados for my transfers ride to DISNEYLAND and vice versa!

    Yes, we're going to Disneyland!


    I would have my whole day at Disney as I know that a whole day's not even enough to enjoy the fun and excitement at rides and sightseeing places here.


    After a long tiring day at Disneyland, I would be having dinner at my hotel for a change and to review all the pictures that I've taken so far.

    At night, I have to make sure that I get immunity boosted up at night, Doctors recommend United Home Ceetab (Ascorbic Acid), only for P1.75 per piece for tomorrow's big day!



    On to my Next day in Paris, I am planning to visit the famous Cathedrale Notre- Dam de Paris


    For this type of transportation, you can book T2 Traslados using the Check In and Out, then choose the destination to Other places, type Notre Dam Paris, you'll see Cathedrale Notre Dam de Paris in the suggestions and choose the location.



    At night it would be great to ride in the Grande Roue and visit Place de la Concorde!
    At night, The Ferris wheel looked astonishingly romantic and Grande perfect scene to steal a kiss from your loved one.
    On my last day in Paris, would be my Souvenir day

    These cute miniature Eiffel Towers are quite cute and a good souvenir to remember.

    Now to make sure that my way back to the airport is hassle free and in style.
    Book T2 Traslados with departure for Step 1 and place the pickup and destination.

    It's 55 euros as calculated.


    I would imagine myself becoming emotional as I leave Paris, but hey I could go back again and maybe visit even more places that I haven't been to, right?

    Spoiler alert!

    I have to be honest with you, I am not a Castlevania fan. When Castlevania was released, I was engrossed in Mario Bros and Duck Hunt games, it was only recently that Castlevania had taken my attention.

    Castlevania started out as a game, nowadays, they have produced a movie series about Count Vlad Dracula Tepes and as we all know Dracula is a vampire. Dracula from Castlevania is no difference with the usual Dracula that we often see in movies, he drinks blood and carries immense power. He is considered "The Prince of Darkness and Lord of Shadows" from the title itself he is considered as an ultimate Lord of all Vampires.

    The movie started out a scene from Wallace, 1455, the film is animated. A blonde woman had set out to a castle carrying a dagger. She had introduced herself as Lisa wanting to become a doctor and looking for knowledge from Count Dracula. Dracula had introduced himself and asked for what Lisa has to offer. Lisa, in return, had offered to teach Dracula manners. Dracula took an interest in Lisa's determination and suggestion to travel around the world.

    The story progresses that Count Dracula and Lisa had lived together inside the castle. When Lisa went back to her hometown to help sick people, her success from her acquired knowledge about medical science and her interventions were proven effective. Catholic Church became wary of Lisa's development, thinking that this might be a threat to the beliefs of the people to the Church. They had Lisa accused as a witch and burned at Stake.

    When Dracula found out what happened to Lisa, he was devastated and gave the townspeople a year to make amends.

    and the story goes on...

    The townspeople failed to make amends and Dracula had released an army of demons...


    Why, oh Why?

    The series started as a sweet encounter to a bitter ending of Lisa from the hands of the Catholic Church. I can't help to think why she was not saved, knowing that Dracula carries immense power to stop the Catholic Church from killing Lisa.

    That's where I got hooked up with the story...

    A typical human attitude at that time, the people had looked for a way to eliminate Dracula by summoning a blood line of Belmont. Belmont's had a reputation of killing Dracula every 100 years, dedicating themselves to killing him each time he arises from his resurrection, but to their demise a young Belmont had presented himself only to their disappointment,  Belmont had an image of a drunkard to townspeople and tried to challenge him during one of his visit to a nearby inn.

    A Simple sorry is all it takes...

    Dracula only had one request to the townspeople that they make amends with him by presenting the person who was responsible for killing Lisa, it sounds easy but during that era, it is evident that the Church holds the highest status in a country equal to that of the King. People did not have the power nor knowledge for justice during those times, it is understandable that they may failed to present the person responsible for the killing.

    It is a tradition to send out Belmont's blood line to do the killing, but seriously? Why do they let the Belmont's go by themselves? By how people spoke towards Belmont's they sound all high and mighty but they ran like rats when they face with a strong opponent. A mere encouragement would have done but mockery made my blood boil and felt hatred with humans too.

    Review to be continued on next blog post...

    What do you think about the first series? Do you agree with me?
