Expensive Gadget

I finally purchased this baby right here ..

I've been wanting to buy iPhone since the version 3, but keep postponing thinking that do I really need it? So then the 3Gs, 4 to finally 4s came out, still not sure. And the fact that 5 is coming out soon, I started to re-think about it.

Last week, a friend told me about promo with CIMB Niaga credit card - 0% interest for 12 months installment. Within days, I decided that I'm gonna take this opportunity. This is probably the fastest decision I've ever made for buying gadget, expensive one. I'm not a gadget person, 'till now I still use my old fashioned trusty Sony Ericsson phone.

Well .. hope that was a 7.7 millions worth spend! :)

Be patience people, there will be big adjustment needed. Might take me a while to get use to with it.

Reminder of the Day

So thanks to Wong Fu Productions, I got to know these groups of amazing and talented Asian American artists and new artists. As individuals, they have their own youtube channels and website, but together they are under the name of ISA - International Secret Agents. They also developed their website called ISATV which update almost daily on what's happening with the community and their activities.

Asians - as it is still happening around the world are considered minority, but they break the stereotypes by making these breakthrough actions through social media and activities around the world.

This is the reminder of the day from ISA TV website -- When was the last time someone REALLY complimented you?

"Think about the last time that someone said something really nice to you. How did it feel? How did it affect the rest of your day?  We guarantee it probably added a little pep to your step and maybe gave an otherwise typical day an extra boost of confidence and productivity. Now turn it around and ask yourself, When was the last time I complimented someone else? When was the last time I told someone in my life how much they meant or had a kind words for a co-worker as they completed a task?

We were thinking about the power of words at the ISA office recently and wanted to send a friendly reminder that we all need to take a step backwards from time to time and really appreciate the people that we’re surrounded by. It doesn’t take that long to say something nice, but we rarely do it, and sometimes focus more on the negatives.  We were reminded about this when we watched Traphik’s recent video where he took it to the streets in his car and a loudspeaker, giving out compliments to strangers. Although some of them shrugged it off, you could tell that a good handful really appreciated it, which probably made for a more positive day.

Whether we like it or not, we all have the ability to directly impact those in our lives on a daily basis.  It may seem like a lot of power, but ultimately it’s easy to control and we hope that everyone out there uses their power for good".

Just remember words can be sharper than blade. Those blade wounds will heal eventually, but harsh words remain. So rather than saying bad things about other, why don't you compliment others by saying good things about that person. Simple but meaningful words will affect people's lives drastically.

Let's be a lover not a fighter :)
