Facebook Abstinence + Phone+ Combo

I don't think there's anything sadder when two people are meant to be together, and something intervenes - Walter Bishop
More Reasons why I love Fringe.

Trials Over, but SPM is nearing.
There's so much to do in so little time.
I once (Again) had so many ideas that I wanted to blog, tuts and thoughts and all (incl trying to generate revenue from this blog), but well, procrastination is the thief of time, and my priorities over other things have left me neglect this (again). 
Upon preparations for Trials, albeit last minute, I have succeeded in staying off Facebook for 18 days! 
Now this counts because I had access to FB at my fingertips (its one of my homepages everytime I turn on the computer, of which I do even during exams, I have managed to close the tab, without much effort. Without conscious control to stay away, I have did so for 18 days.
Now, that is abstinence. Somewhat. Since I keep hearing that we are all addicted to FB and our social life would die if the site died. Well, i'm still standing here, (sitting, typing on the computer is hard when standing) unscarred (at least not by my absence from FB).
So I challenge you all, stay away form FB for a couple of days, and brag about it. Abstinence! (The fact or practice of restraining oneself from indulging in something.)
 Still, only my brief absence, and FB has unveiled Timeline. Cool.
 Moving on, seeing this is going to be a combo of thought, I don't have time to do 'em one by one, and all are to be short. :(
I was planning on getting a new phone (and number!) One day eating DimSum, some woman from China came with an iPhone 5. LOL. First we brushed her off, but after eating she came again,and I took a look and feel at it. Kinda Cool, in fact that was my prime research online during trials. :P (even resorting to bidding on Lelong), It looks good you know.

Its more known as the HiPhone 5. I actually wanted to do a complete review if I got one, and the specs are pretty good (with Wifi!). Sides, the woman offered it to me in a imitated box, with a case (cool) and only at RM280 (not even discounted yet) and with 2 batteries!

But after all the research and checking. (And all my friends telling me nononononono.....) I decided against it. ShenZhen Phones don't really last.
So I got the next budget thing. I always had a thing for slide phones, thus now I have the Sony Ericsson Spiro (W100i).
(Official Site here)
(Specs Here)
 Once I got it I went and reloaded the software on the phone (you need to buy a separate microUSB cable, SE doens't include it), to prevent the problems that are reported online, latest software now. (maybe one day I'll do a tutorial on it, just maybe)
It lags, occasionally, conversation view is good, calls are fine, what you expect from a Sony Ericsson, downside is that the animation is minimal (not a very nice Walkman version) and then it can't do GIF animations and Animated Wallpapers. The animated photos lag, no matter what, and alot of JAVA games can't be played (though it has a sweet resolution of 240x320). Sometimes the game dies at loading. Or worse, the phone restarts! It lags. (convo view especially). Overall its not very customizable, as lots of themes are incompatible....
Still, phone at cheapest and best price (RM 199 ori) + MicroSD card 4GB (RM 30) + MicroUSB Cable (RM 14) + Screen Protector and Silicon Case (RM 14) = RM 257, all at best price, what's to complain. Slide somemore!
By the way I just noticed if you google "stop waiting for her sms' my blog is the 1st link! (or if "how to stop waiting for her sms" its second)I need to spruce that post up someday to help people. 
Lastly, discovered this cool app (flash,sorry iPhone-ers) from Couzins blog.



It makes cool music! Even people like me who can't make music can create something cool and cute!
[click to make music, draggable, can copy and paste your creations, and Spacebar to clear) :DD

(wondered what a smiley sounds like?)

Ciaoz!

I've got a dream~
(ps:by now I hope the people who visit my blog know that the colored words are not just colored for the sake of it, they all (usually) have a link to sometime else, perhaps, significant, :P)

Am happy. :)
