The Twelve Trojans

FIXED: iPhone stuck in iTunes logo December 2017

My phone was stuck on iTunes logo a few months back before I finally able to search the solution.

I was really hopeless to fix it since I've quite tried a few things through Google suggestions and YouTube tutorials. But I failed, still.

How did my phone stuck in iTunes logo? The answer is, I really don't know how it got there. The usual problem, one second it's okay, then checking to look at your phone, it's stuck.

Here are the things I tired to resolve the problem:

1. Update/Restore in iTunes

This is the most common solution to the problem. Since it is stuck in the iTunes logo, it just shows you to go get in the iTunes already and plug your phone and update it. I repetitively do everything it says: Update everything, restore everything, even agreeing to wipe all my data just to fix my phone. But everytime I download the latest iOS update (roughly 2.5 to 3GB of data downloading, which takes me hours to finish all of it), it gives me an error like this:

I tried updating and restoring my phone for about four times already but my phone was still getting the same message. So I gave up.

2. Go to a phone mechanic

They've never fixed it. The same error occurred and  they even suggested me to upgrade my phone because the problem was the motherboard. If the motherboard was broken, it can't be fixed anymore.

3. Download alternative software to fix phone

This is where I finally fixed my phone. But it takes time and effort to search for a good one.

The last time I tried fixing my phone was July 2017. And because I was fed up and got the same results again and again, I threw it inside my closet. My Android was starting to get battery issues so I decided to try again (December 2nd 2017) fixing iPhone one more time. And of course, I tried fixing it again through iTunes. It still detected my phone but the problem was, I needed to download the new iOS update which was about 3.5GB or something and took me four hours to finish downloading it. I just wasted my time because the download was interrupted.

So, I Google hopped to find alternative things to consider in fixing my phone. Failed. Then I came across a YouTube tutorial where you need to download a software in order to help you fix your phone from iTunes logo stuck.

The software is FonePaw. You can download it here.

Before I download any software, I usually jumps to user comments if it is worth downloading or not. I got a few nopes and yesses but I still tried it because if it will not work, I'll just find any other software.

The size is just 26MB so I thought it's just a few minutes of wasting time if it's not gonna work at all.

I ran and installed it like the usual thing and after that, it automatically detected my phone.

Okay. Before you go try this, check this out if we have the same issues:

1. Stuck on iTunes logo
2. Phone still readable through iTunes or PC

If these two things don't meet your phone, I don't know if you can follow what I did.

Here are the steps I did:

1. Open FonePaw.
2. Choose iOS phone data recovery.
3. Click "Start".
4. If your phone cannot be detected automatically, you can just manually input the information.
5. Just wait until the software downloaded the latest iOS.
6. It will AUTOMATICALLY (yes, as for my case) restore your phone back to its original state where you left it off.

The downloading took me two hours or more. When I got to 99%, the software was not responding so I force closed it. I thought I just wasted my time again for nothing. But then, when I force closed it, my phone restarted, no data were wiped out. Everything went back to original.

For me and for the other users, it worked. hope this helps.

Installing League of Legends PH in 4 STEPS (Updated October 2017)

Yes. You heard me right. Just four steps to download, install and finally play League of Legends!

I have downloaded League of Legends last year but it was not successful. Actually, I became hopeless downloading, installing and playing it because I literally don't know how to find the easiest and fastest and most accurate way of downloading it. I don't want you to experience the same thing happened to me. That's why I am here to help you breaking into LoL gaming.

I jumped into numerous sites and even Garena page itself doesn't really guide you on how to properly install. I dunno about you, but if installing and finding downloadables of LoL, it should be on the top page results, shouldn't it?

Honestly speaking, I don't know any of my friends who plays LoL, because we all play DotA. Like, every week or at least twice a month, we play altogether (via LAN). I don't really play by myself on Normal Matches because of toxic players saying a lot of sh*t. Or maybe because I am practically NOOB.

Well, I am not here to roast myself but to guide you the easiest way to download and install LoL.

We got an IT intern last year and I asked him how to install LoL in PC. He said I need to download a messenger first before downloading the actual game.

I regrettably decided to disregard that and proceed to what the results page provided. Which was downloading the game itself.

So, yeah. I downloaded the game without messenger or anything. I just went to Google and typed in "How To Install LoL" and it gave me a bunch of sites claiming that they're all TRUE. But nah.

To give you a warning, I went to this site to download the game. Because it was GARENA! I spent hours downloading it literally for nothing. I even let my PC turned on for hours while I am not at home just to finish it. It was actually the installer of the game itself. But the difference is, you need to go through Garena Messenger to play it and that's the real deal. So, no. Don't go there. I am still wondering why the first results page of Google doesn't have Garena Messenger to be there first because that's literally what you need!

Anyways, let's get started!

*DISCLAIMER: PHILIPPINES ONLY. I'm not sure if this also works to other countries.

1. Go to this SITE (https://www.garena.ph/gpc)

DO NOT GO TO OTHER GARENA PAGES BUT THIS SITE ONLY. If you do, you'll just waste your computer's memory and time and effort to nothing.

See that? Download it. Go to the site, not that.

It will take you less than 5 minutes (depending on your internet speed) to download the messenger. I think it was around less than 100mb so it's just a quick download.

2. Install it

Once you are done, Garena Messenger will pop out and a sign-in/sign-up is there.

3. Log-in/Create Garena Messenger Account

If you already have a Garena Messenger Account, just log-in.

If you don't, create a Garena account to be able to download LoL. If you don't have, take all the time in the world to create an account. It's just easy like creating account on FaceBook or YouTube or Steam. Do you want me to guide you? Kidding.

4. Download LoL

After logging in, you will see some of Riot's games and LoL is just looking right at you.

Click the LoL logo. If you are not on the same page as me, this is it:

You're welcome.

Since I already downloaded the game, I can see the word "PLAY" at the bottom center of Garena on my PC. Which means I CAN PLAY ANY TIME but here I am making a tutorial for you.

To download it, just click DOWNLOAD. And you're good to go.

You will also see how much memory is needed. As far as I remembered, before I hit download, the memory needed was 7225MB or 7.2GB.

Because of my connection, I literally spent 7 hours to finish downloading. My internet speed is just up to 3mbps per second only, but it varies, of course. I started at 8PM and it finished at around past 3AM. So expect that downloading the game is a little suspense.

*You can pause your download anytime. Not sure if you can turn off your PC if you want to continue downloading the next day though.

4. PLAY!

After you download the game, you can now play LoL.

We are not trying to be a noob here. So, if you are a newbie just like me, why don't you explore everything first before going into real battles?

Or if you think you are a Legend, OK. No more talking and just play.

Stalking Using Google Images

Have you ever saw someone for the first time and you are literally dying to know that person's name? Because I do!

Stalking is not really good. I know. But unfortunately, your mind is telling no. Because you got all the time in the world and you want that person's name so bad, why not?

So now, let's give you a fair share of knowledge in stalking someone using Google Images. If you know a person just by face and you don't have any good photo, you cannot use these tips.

In my case, I am browsing 9gag when an advertisement of a dating app appeared between images. Like this:

I ignored this. Many times. I am not the usual someone who randomly stalks someone just to, you know, know their names. But this ad keeps on appearing on the site I am literally using everyday, so why not?

It intrigued me to look for the name of the guy in this advertisement. The third guy!

So first, I just use some possible random keywords in Google

*Holla is the name of the app, I literally went to Google Play to see it myself

Nothing happened. I failed seeing his face.

So, I tried adding some keywords like holla, app, mobile, guy, model, name.

But I still failed.

Then, I tried using Google Images.

I Google image the whole advertisement. Who knows when Holla website (if there is) appears and they put the names of their models. 

But it gave a far different result.

What will I do with random selfies?

Then, I came up with the idea of cropping the picture. Wise, right?

The brighter side: I got another angle of the same picture!

The darker side: Still no name or any information, just two pictures (what I thought) of him and the worst is, all the websites are in Chinese!

Well, at least there is an improvement on my stalking, isn't it?

I jumped into Google results page. But all what's written is in Chinese.

I am not being racist here but, he doesn't look Chinese for me at all! Why are the results like this?

I saved the original image for a clearer and better picture and repeated the steps.

The results were still in Chinese.

I decided to just jump from one page to next and randomly clicked on titles with guy names or sites with model names.

Until, I saw this!

Martin Conte.

So, I opened the first link with his name in it and...

My hardship finally paid off!

I went to Google Images results as well as his Instagram account.

And the pictures confirmed it!

You may follow him on Instagram at @martinconte

For those who'll say why didn't I ask to any forum (i.e Yahoo! Answers) together with his picture, I would say I can't because I never did that. And sometimes I think it takes forever to wait for an answer so why don't you find it yourself? And of course, I tried Google Images if this really works for stalking. Okay?

PS:

I don't follow him on Instagram. I just want to know his name. But not what he does for work, or his personality, if he has a girlfriend or where he lives. I am just curious about his name.

Seklusyon: MMFF 2016 Entry Film Review

[WARNING: Contains spoilers. This review is my personal opinion and belief. Any concepts written here are definitely not the concept which the film wants to deliver to its audiences. Story shifting is based on what I remembered.]

Seklusyon (lit. Seclusion, the state of being private and away from other people) is a Filipino religious horror film that depicts multi-religious beliefs existed during the 1940s in Philippine culture.

The story focuses on four young men (Miguel, Fabian, Carlo, Marco) who want to become priests. To be officially acknowledged, these men need to outlast seclusion for seven days, with rulings such as fasting, praying, no talking with each other, no loud noises, etc.). The church where seclusion happens is being handled by a certain Mang Sandoval. He explained to each young men about seclusion and what should and should not be done for seven days. He even told him that, roughly, no one has ever survived seclusion, let alone finish it for seven days.

On the other scene, a young girl named Anghela, claimed to be a prophet delivered by God with an ability to create miracles, especially healing. She is being influenced by a nun called Madre Cecilia. She heals diseases and sickness to people who came for her. 

Padre Ricardo is a church priest who doubtfully believed that Anghela is a genuine prophet sent by God. In order to prove that she was, her parents and the nun forced her to heal a man who cannot walk. To the priest's eyes, the man was healed.

Later on the story, Anghela's parents were killed because of the war (rumored).  With no one but the nun to take care of her, they left the town and went to church where the four young men effectuate their seclusion.

Inside the church, the young men experience horrid situations created by their own sins from their past. They need to endure the pain and agony to pass seclusion. In the verge of experiencing and seeing things individually, Anghela and the nun arrived the church.

Anghela talked to Mang Sandoval about his past and how God has better plans for him. She explains that God will never abandon Him. The next morning, Mang Sandoval told everyone how Anghela changed his point of view in life and left the church.

With Anghela and the nun, things abruptly changed. They started to see Anghela's miracles, Except for Miguel, who believed she was not a true prophet. He urges the other young men and the nun that she was a false prophet, but no one believes him. He threatened that if Anghela is not going to leave, he will leave, but once he leave, he will never be a priest. Anghela cried in front of everyone and asked him to not make any sacrifices again (about sacrificing her ex-girlfriend). She hugged Miguel but he let go. 

Miguel dreamt about Anghela and Erina, her ex-girlfriend who was pregnant. He dreamt that Erina was killing their child, piercing a bunch of stabs straight through her stomach. He dreamt about Anghela weeping and begging not to leave her alone again. He woke up and saw that Anghela beside him.

The next morning, Anghela makes a ritual for her to become an orthodox prophet. However, Miguel did not drink the cup with wine and silently spit it.

Meanwhile, Padre Ricardo continues his investigation about the nun. She was an abandoned girl raped by many soldiers. He also found out that Anghela is a false prophet. He hurriedly went to the church and confronted Anghela about his accusations. Anghela said he can never change anything, that people go first to her, to be healed easily than to beg for their lives to their Gods. And that, people go to what is easy than to what is true. Miguel saw what happened and went back to check on others. When he went back, Anghela already killed Padre Ricardo.

Miguel grabbed Anghela and point the knife to her throat, telling everyone that he will kill the girl to stop everything. He went inside the chapel and locked themselves in so the three men and the nun could not get inside.

Anghela told Miguel that even he killed her, everything would not change, that people already did not know who is the right God and who is wrong, which God is true and which is not. Miguel placed Anghela to the altar and said, "Forgive me God" then stabbed Anghela in her stomach multiple times. Anghela died.

The story ends with the three priests being blessed by the priests, thus Anghela's prophecies are still spreading all over the religion.
