Did you know that the Bad Boy of the Dance Floor is also a bad boy when it comes to technology?
Did you know that the Bad Boy of the Dance Floor is also a bad boy when it comes to technology? Find out what his favorite tech toys are. Wherever Mark Herras goes, you can bet he’s taken his iPod, laptop, Play Station and other tech toys with him! While waiting for his turn on cam, Mark likes to while time by listening to music on his iPod and playing games on his PSP. His favorite video games are poker and basketball, while he likes to chill out to hip hop greats like Chris Brown, 50 Cent, G Unit, as well as old school rappers like Dr. Dre and Snoop Dog. “Right now, pinapakingan ko si Beyonce,” Mark says. “Basta maganda sa tenga tsaka masarap sayawin. Sean Paul, mga ganyan.” Mark is one lucky guy when it comes to technology because he’s gotten most of his tech toys as gifts! “Itong PSP, bigay ni Jen. Laptop ko, bigay. iPod ko, bigay. Phones ko, bigay ng sponsor ko, yung Belo,” Mark shares. “Yung Xbox ko, birthday gift sa sakin ng Fanatxt.” About the only thing he’s bought for himself is his PS2, though he admits that “Hindi ko pa nagagamit.” Mark’s tech addiction comes with a price, however, in the form of the little mishaps that every techie experiences, like what happened to his Xbox, for example. “Kasama ko pa ‘yung pinsan ko umuwi before, syempre pinsan, birthday, ‘Uy, XboX! Xbox!’ Excited tapos nung sinaksak, Boom! Putok! 110 volts pala yun. Kinabukasan, pinagawa ko. Nagawa naman, pero pinakita sa akin ‘yung chip na nasira, sunog!” Mark laughs. Another time, he accidentally wiped out most of the songs on his iTunes. “Nagpalit ako ng laptop. Siguro point something na lang ‘yung free memory ng laptop ko nun, so nagpa-upgrade ako. Ginawa ko, nag-install ako ng bagong iTunes. Binura ko lahat ng stuff sa lumang laptop ko, pati yung iTunes, dri-nag ko yung icon tapos sumabog! Nabura halos lahat ng songs. So kelangan ko i-download ulit. Parang sa 100% ng songs ko, 80% ang nauubos,” he shares. Mark also likes to play online games, and can sometimes be found hanging out with his barkada at the local Internet cafe. -- Text by Yvette U. Tan Find out more about Mark through Fanatxt!
