Since Chanty was obsessing about Ring, here's a nasty trick to perform when you're sleeping over at your friend's house.

The uses of a programmable VCR, spare remote, and mobile phone

Copy the well-scene from Ring onto a blank tape and label the tape as "copy". Set the VCR so that it'll turn on and play the tape by itself at a certain time. When it's that certain time, use your spare remote to turn on the TV. Since it's the spare, people will wonder how the TV turned itself on when they're holding the main remote. Of course once it all ends, speed dial your mobile phone to dial the landline.

If Ring were adapted to the Philippine setting (Okay, me and some of the guys who hang out at CCHQ [forgot their names...] contrived this several days ago)

A text message would be passed on from one person to another. If you do not forward this, you will die in one week. The "ring" there is that your cellphone will ring.

"Wala na akong credit!" (I don't have credits anymore!)

"Paano siya nakakatawag eh prepaid text lang ako?" (How can they call when I'm using a prepaid SIM that only allows text messages?)

And of course, Sadako will come out of your tiny phone monitor.
