2009 Honda City - My Review

Have you seen the new Honda City 2009? It really makes everyones head turn, especially if you are familiar with how the old Honda City looks like. Its as if its a different animal. With a front grill like the mask of Optimus Prime (Transformers), a tail light like a BMW, a head lamp like no other, and a body like a beautiful lady :-)

Haay..., It would be nice if the 1.3 model will also have a solid rear disk brake, a door mirror integrated side turn lamp just like the 1.5 model. And lastly, a fog lamp mounting just like honda civic. Still even without those, a car enthusiasts like me will still choose this car.

How to Hack a Password Protected Excel WorkSheet

This is a simple hack for Excel worksheets encrypted with a password.

Ok. You can open the excel file, but you noticed that you cannot modify the worksheets. The cells are password protected. What will you do?

The answer is go to the one of microsofts' rival, Open Office. If you have an OpenOffice SCalc installed or one of your friends have one, then do this.

1. Simply open your excel file in SCalc and save it.

2. Open the same file in MS Excel. Go to the menu and select Unprotect Sheet. Wooooh. You can now modify the worksheet.


Hahahaha, try this, it will definitely work.

Where am I now?

Have you ever wondered what your life is five years from now? Your career... your personal life. Do you always experience sleepless nights, reviewing your current status. Thinking if you have reached your goals, or if you are behind your dream schedule.

A deep sigh..., and telling yourself, you need to improve. That you dont want to live the same life and status until you die. Well, in that case, you are a dreamer. Thats good, but also not. You, me, need to act now, not later, or else we will have the same dream all over again. Lets use our dream as a battery to move forward. Learn from our mistakes, and act on what steps one must take.

Drivers for HP Compaq 767TU Notebook - Which OS to use..., XP or Vista?

I noticed that most of the site visitors are looking for Compaq 767TU Drivers. If i'm not mistaken, they are looking for XP Drivers. I intended not to include the XP drivers as I've once use XP in this laptop. Yes XP drivers (definitely not from Compaq) will in some way works. But in order to maximize your machine, it is recommended to use softwares in which it is built for. Yah, I know, everyone says Vista is a crap. But remember, "No software is 100% complete, at max they can be 99% but will diminish over time. I'm currently using Vista, and it works fine.

Or maybe, you are just afraid to use something new, that you are not familiar, right? Well, you cannot be familiar with it unless you use it.

In addition, I heard that MS is not supporting XP anymore.., as decommissioned. A new OS is being developed already, which will be the successor of Vista. So, its as if XP is the old Windows 2000, or whatever old OS model, and Vista is XP, got it?
