Did you know that...

dialing 1471 will enable you to identify your last caller? That is, if your land line unit has a display screen and if your caller hasn't punched 141 before your 1471.

As for mobile phones, there's this computer program that will pinpoint the actual location of the mobile phone, down to the street name. It can even tell how fast one is moving. What's amazing is that it can be done within 7 seconds.

I am not sure if this can be done in the Philippines. This worked when they tested it out in the UK, where they have mapped out every nook and cranny. I do hope the PNP or NTC invest in something like this. This will definitely help solve mobile-phone-related crimes.

So, don't believe your service provider if they say that they can't trace a call. At this (digital) day and age, anything is possible.

I must've visited almost all reseller shops I've seen on the road.  I've noticed that these shops carry the top 3 popular ones:  Hermes, Chanel and Louis Vuitton.  There still are several pieces of Balenciaga, Valentino, Tory Burch, Celine, Gucci and Michael Kors but not as abundant as the top 3.  I guess what carries the most value are the three popular ones. If you are looking for cheap designer bags, I suggest checking out Don Quixote.  You will usually find on the topmost floors on Donki.  I think this is the one in Shinjuku. I am not so sure. You find them arranged like this or inside locked glass cabinets.  I'm sure the artisans who made these bags will tu...
