Wordless Wednesday: The Troll's first Wordless Wednesday

Troll's Sunday Ride with The Like Riders Pilipinas

The Troll (saisake - Nouvo Owner's Society from MCP boards) rides with TLC (The Like Club Pilipinas) last Sunday. A quick ride to Real, Quezon for a little road adventure, Twisties and a lot of cornering.

Responsible Riding, Traveling, and Comraderie are the three basic things you will have if you travel in packs. Inclusive with a bayanihan meal of seafoods served in a long table on banana leaves.

A group of riders left Calamba at 6:30  am, and a few more joined us from Los banos, and Sta Cruz until we reached Famy/Siniloan Area where we meet up with the Manila Pack who traversed Rizal and Marilaque Area. Together we joined force to travel Real-Siniloan Road.

The Troll salvaged whats left on a defective 250GB Hard Drive

The troll was able to salvage files from MSI Wind's defective Drive, all in-tact from /home ext4 partition.

Using CDRKING's IDE to USB Bridge and a cool gadget to bridge  SATA and IDE.

It took awhile to read files due to data corruption, but was still be able to extract the files from the disk. After a few hours of it, was able to delete every partition; swap, /, /home and created a single ntfs partition.

The bad news is it's having hard time reading data. Saving files on it is very risky so I might use it as a nice paper weight. More Photos after the break.

Mother's Day Date with the Troll's Wife

Happy Mother's Day

For all mothers out there, The Shaman greets you Happy Mother's Day.

My wife and I hanged out at SM Calamba City and watched Fast Five. Action-packed and oozing with pure awesomeness. For those of you who haven't seen it, watch it you will surely enjoy every minute of it. [Spoiler Alert] After the Movie flashes the cast and credits, stay in your seat, there will be a short Movie that will leave you hanging.

Ninei had her hair done at the salon for a little trimming. Then we head out to be surprised that there is now a Mernels cakes at the ground floor. Now if you are not from around Calamba City and Los Banos Area, but have visited our hot-spring resorts in Pansol and aware of our Buko Pies. You need to try out Mernel's Cakes & Pastries.

How to Replace Harddisk on MSI Wind

The 250 GB Hard Drive (OEM)

This is How, Use some precision screwdrivers to remove the screws from the back side of the laptop.
There's no need to remove the keyboard panel, just the backside only.
First is to remove the battery out of the way, then track down the screw holes.
Use your thumb to lightly lift the plastic on either side of the battery bay.

Don Henrico's Festival Mall, Alabang Experience

It's been awhile since my last blog post, the shaman have been busy with stuff here and there.

Earlier this evening, I visited Festival Mall in Filinvest Alabang. Meet up with wifey and have dinner. This is not a review but my experience with an ordinary fellow whom I would say enthusiastic and dedicated.

Kudos to the security guard named "Makki," He's the guy wearing long sleeved polo barong looking like PSG (Presidential Security Group) the counterpart for Secret Service for the US. He's the guy incharge of the door welcoming customers, opening door and such.

I prefered eating outside so I can smoke, this guy welcomed me and offered a table inside. I insisted to eat outside otherwise. He gaved me the menu, my wife ordered pizza and a double roast rib. Then beer for me and bottomless iced tea for wifey.

Monster Hunter Portable 3rd and Monster Sandwich

My PSP is in use again thanks to MHP3, and a couple
of ham sandwich my wife made.

This is my first post for 2011, I have been busy since last December 2010. A lot of things happen one after another.

With the recent release of Monster Hunter Portable 3, the shaman raids and hunt dragons and monsters.  Rathian, Rathalos, and Tigrex is my top 3 favorites from earlier versions of MH series.

Still in Japanese version, with a few english patch. Still waiting for the US version to go out.
