<p style="text-align: justify;">I wanna get back to jogging early in the morning with my Aunt but the rain <img class="alignnone" src="http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/af163/crazy4smileys/December%20part%202/dcmbrprt2116.gif" alt="" width="20" height="20" /> keeps us from doing it. We started back in <span style="color: #800080;">August</span> of last year and we stopped eventually in <span style="color: #333399;">October</span> because it keeps raining in the morning and we kept postponing the day till now. It&#8217;s as if the rain knows the day we plan on jogging. <img class="alignnone" src="http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/af163/crazy4smileys/whitey/whitey13.gif" alt="" width="20" height="20" /></p>
<div style="height: 1.4em; visibility: hidden;">Break</div>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I wanna get rid of my bulging stomach, I ended up changing 2 or 3 shirts every time I go out. I mostly have tight fitting shirts <img class="alignnone" src="http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/af163/crazy4smileys/Clothing/clothes10.gif" alt="" width="20" height="20" /> or tank tops, but these days I wear polo shirts or tops that doesn&#8217;t show or make my big tummy obvious. I look like I&#8217;m pregnant. <img class="alignnone" src="http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/af163/crazy4smileys/emotes3/mgacutesmiley23.gif" alt="" width="20" height="20" />&#8211; lol!</p>
<div style="height: 1.4em; visibility: hidden;">Break</div>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I used to be so skinny that I had no problems with baby fats. I hated being skinny it makes me look a bit sickly, well I was asthmatic and I just never had a good appetite plus I&#8217;m so picky with food. After years of trying to gain weight I finally did, I&#8217;m not regretting though I just miss my flat stomach. I&#8217;m not good at following through exercises coz I get lazy but I know I need to discipline myself everyday to do abs exercise if I want to have a flat stomach again. I MUST <img class="alignnone" src="http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/af163/crazy4smileys/emotes/emo59.gif" alt="" width="20" height="20" />! So I can wear a shirt without getting conscious of my body. And as they say &#8211; <span style="color: #008000;">No Pain, No Gain!</span> haha!</p>
<div style="height: 1.4em; visibility: hidden;">Break</div>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Well, time for me to go to bed now. Stay safe and God Bless everyone! <img class="alignnone" src="http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/af163/crazy4smileys/emotes2/e7.gif" alt="" width="20" height="20" /></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Toodles! <img class="alignnone" src="http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/af163/crazy4smileys/emotes3/mgacutesmiley29.gif" alt="" width="20" height="20" /></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Tiklas Falls is 120 ft. high and is located 13 kilometers away from Gingoog City. The pools and the cottages surrounding it was restored after it was damaged from the flash flood. You can park your vehicles at the main entrance and walk 300 or 350 meters up to get to the cottages which is a bit tiring <img class="alignnone" src="http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/af163/crazy4smileys/emotes2/e40.gif" alt="" width="20" height="20" />when you have to carry all your stuff <span style="color: #000000;"><em>(food &amp; drinks)</em></span> but it&#8217;s worth it. When we got home, i was exhausted and sleepy as expected.

<p style="text-align: center;">This is how the pattern/chart looks like now, it has aged from the time i bought it <span style="font-style: italic; color: #333300;">(more than a year now)</span>. haha! Dirty, old and tearing. I marked the completed stitches using a colored pencil, glitter pens and a yellow marker so as not to make me confused. I have to be careful not to make a mistake, misplace, or miss one stitches coz if i do, it might mess up the whole look and i&#8217;d have to take off the whole row of stitches for 1 mistake.  If you&#8217;ve ever done cross-stitching before you&#8217;ll know what i mean.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Besides enjoying my phones theme and changing it from time to time, being able to set any mp3 as a ringtone and using different java apps, the only thing that&#8217;s missing for me is to be able to change the font lol! So i went ahead and re-flashed it to change the boring font to my current favorite ~~ <span style="color: #800080;">Humana Sans ITC</span>. It&#8217;s hard if you don&#8217;t know anything about flashing like i did the first time, it was scary but it is the only way to do it since <span style="color: #ff00ff;">Nokia 6301b</span> belongs to a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Series_40">Series 40/s40 phones</a> which means you can only do so much unlike those high end Nokia s60 smartphones which changing  fonts is as easy as a pie.</p>
<div style="height: 1.4em; visibility: hidden;">Break</div>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This is my second time flashing my phone so i got the idea on how it works, still i wanted to be extra careful and searched for how to&#8217;s and read them carefully. Here&#8217;s the result~~Before and After. Lovin&#8217; it! <img class="alignnone" src="http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/af163/crazy4smileys/Simple%20Emotes%204/smpleemotes24.gif" alt="" width="58" height="20" /></p>
<div style="height: 1.4em; visibility: hidden;">Break</div>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> <img class="alignleft" src="http://i656.photobucket.com/albums/uu290/truerockchic/blog%20photos/oldTheme.gif" alt="" width="240" height="320" />   <img class="alignnone" src="http://i656.photobucket.com/albums/uu290/truerockchic/blog%20photos/RecentTheme.gif" alt="" width="240" height="320" /></p>
<div style="height: 1.4em; visibility: hidden;">Break</div>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If anyone wants to do it with your s40 phone, you need <span style="color: #3366ff;"><a href="http://www.symbianize.com/showthread.php?t=203182">Nokia Modding Tools</a></span> (NMT) for editing the font <span style="font-style: italic; color: #003300;">(there&#8217;s a guide on that link on how to use that tool)</span> and <span style="color: #000080;"><a href="http://www.articlecms.in/3893-how-to-flash-nokia-phones-using-phoenix-service-software.html">Phoenix 2008</a> </span> <span style="font-style: italic; color: #000080;">(when you get to that link, scroll down to find the Preparation and Installation guide)</span> or recent versions for flashing your phone. You can check <a href="http://www.gsmarena.com">here</a> for your phones specification, under the quick search on the top left. Don&#8217;t do it if you&#8217;re unsure with what you&#8217;re doing though coz you don&#8217;t want to end up with a bricked phone. Double check everything and make sure you followed every instructions and you have installed the right firmware for your phone. And don&#8217;t forget to backup your phone to your flash card using &#8220;sync &amp; backup&#8221; under<span style="font-style: italic; color: #800000;"> (menu&gt;Settings&gt;Sync &amp; backup)</span> and remove it before flashing.</p>
<div style="height: 1.4em; visibility: hidden;">Break</div>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Oh and btw if you&#8217;re wondering where i get my themes check <img class="alignnone" src="http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/af163/crazy4smileys/hand%20signs%20or%20signs/handsignsorsigns42.gif" alt="" width="20" height="20" /> <span style="color: #008080;">ownskin [dot] com</span>. They have so much kawaii themes on there that i get confused lol! I ended up having tons of them saved up, so you might also like them. <img class="alignnone" src="http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/af163/crazy4smileys/simple%20emotes2/simple10.gif" alt="" width="20" height="20" /></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">My sister&#8217;s old phone <img class="alignnone" src="http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/af163/crazy4smileys/phone%20or%20telephone/phne.gif" alt="" width="20" height="20" /> that she gave me is locked under <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fido_Solutions">Fido</a><span style="font-style: italic;">(Canada mobile network)</span>, I already have it unlocked so i was able to use it.  The downside of having a branded phone is that they restrict stuff like using mp3 as ringtone &#8211; you can only download tones from them.  So me, who loves customizing wasn&#8217;t too happy when I learned about it <img class="alignnone" src="http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/af163/crazy4smileys/emotes3/mgacutesmiley37.gif" alt="" width="20" height="20" />. Yes, there&#8217;s a way around it<span style="font-style: italic;">(according to the stuff i read online)</span> by converting mp3 to .wav format that doesn&#8217;t exceed to 700kb or was it 600kb<span style="font-style: italic;">(i forgot!)</span>&#8230;tried that but you can only do that with mp3 that has 10 sec. or less duration.</p>
<div style="height: 1.4em; visibility: hidden;">Break</div>
<p style="text-align: justify;">At the time when i got it, i have ringtones from Despicable movie, it worked&#8230;but as months went by i wanted new one and i got/wanted ringtones from the movie Tangled<span style="font-style: italic;">(coz i love and i&#8217;m a big fan of Mandy Moore). </span>The duration of the song is a bit longer, converting to .wav format gives me more than 700kb file size, so it won&#8217;t work. I was itching to bypass the restrictions and i can only do that by <a href="http://moneyexpertsteam.blogspot.com/2011/01/what-is-meaning-of-debrading-mobile.html">unbranding/de-branding</a> my phone but looking a way to do it  without spending any money, AND  it&#8217;s amazing how you can find stuff online *dance2x* and i found how to&#8217;s on  <a href="http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php/1388899-Nokia-6301-java-app-fix?s=8cdf61fe88a35963f37a20b6fa2e24e3">here</a>.</p>
<div style="height: 1.4em; visibility: hidden;">Break</div>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I have no experience with flashing a phone coz it turns out i have to do it if i wanted to de-brand my phone. I have to download the original firmware which is RM-323 and use the image content from 6301<span style="font-style: italic; color: #000080;">(UK version)</span> RM-322 I had to read and re-read 15 pages of that &#8220;how to&#8221; in the forum because i wanted to understand and make sure i&#8217;m doing everything right or else i&#8217;ll end up with a bricked phone and no one wants that. After 10 min. of heart racing i finally and successfully got my 6301b <span style="color: #333300;">unbranded</span>, no Fido logo when my phone starts up and YES! I can use ANY mp3 as a ringtone Yay! <img class="alignnone" src="http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/af163/crazy4smileys/teddy/teddy12.gif" alt="" width="20" height="20" /> Thank you to those people who&#8217;ve shared their skills and knowledge in that forum. Btw, I was holding my phone the whole time with my heartbeat pounding and praying no blackouts. lol!</p>
