Its one of those....
Today is one of those days where I get to kick back and enjoy the "actual" pace of life. You know, listening to music and just doing whatever you wanna do.. Ahhh.. The life.
Its also a great time to reflect and well, jot down my thoughts over here. Since I rarely update this blog of mine, take this as a chance to make it seem like someone is using it. HAHA
Two questions I've gotten from quite a number of friends. I would, after much reflection as well, like to answer these two questions. Hopefully, shedding some light into my life.
Question #1:
Why are you always packing your everyday??
HAHA! Number one question I get from many of my friends. They are either referring to myself being hard to "book" to go out or forever seeing me moving from places to places.
Well, there's a few reasons which I've came to a conclusion to. And the one that occupies the most portion is my thought about time available. See, all of us have 24hours to ourselves. Sometimes, it just seems that we cannot finish what we're supposed to do. Like catching up with certain people, building relationships with family, doing assignments or projects and many more. In my perspective however, the time is more than enough. It all boils down to how you use your time. Like a chinese phase (after direct translation) says, many small things about to one BIG thing. And time seemed to work this way. Little time here and there not doing anything equates to alot of time wasted on doing nothing. Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying we must use every second of our lives doing something meaningful. What I meant is in general, try not to waste our time. I for one, don't like taking naps. I feel that its generally a waste of time.
The other reason is because of my high-"I"-ness. For those who are wondering what in the world is high-"I" or even the word "I", it is a behavioral profiling term for people oriented personnel who are very active socially. In another words, cannot be alone. HAHA. And with that simple explanation, it kinda explains it all. Right?
Lastly, the things that I'm involved in currently are things that I'm passionate about. It pretty much sums it all since people with no passion will not last long. Take Trybe for example. Who skips things to go for programs (ok, keep it a secret)? And I would like to emphasize that I would never use my time on places which I'm totally not interested in as reason is stated above (about time given daily). Other than that, I believe certain things that I'm doing will mould myself to become someone who is better. In terms of skills, knowledge and experience. And there are opportunities that may just come once and that's it. Wouldn't it be a shame if a big big door is open right in front of you but you chose to let it close forever?
To conclude, I prefer packing my day with activities that will allow maximum usage of time and getting the "people" result. So, one advice. "Book" me in advance. HAHAHAHAHAHA
Question #2
WHY YOU NO WANT iPHONE?!
HAHAHAHA! I get this alot too.. Especially after getting my BB after enlistment. Here's a few reason (in my own perspective)...
One, I feel that iPhone is just a device for people who are really bored in life. Thus, they need games to entertain them every now and then. Yes I know you can put lots of music, videos and games inside due to the memory space available and the WIDE range of apps which is available in the apple store. So what?? Does that down the value of BB? I believe that the phone should be one that helps you make your everyday life more convenient. Looking at how the purpose of mobile devices changes through time, a phone should be one that customs to the user's needs. Therefore, nope to iPhone.
Second, the battery life of iPhone really sucks. I mean, look at the people all around you!! How many are using portable chargers while using the phone?? They even need to charge it 2-3 times a day in order to sustain the phone's life. WALAO. I totally cannot stand it. If I'm using a phone that needs to be charged constantly, I would rather use it with the charger plugged into the socket 24/7. Isn't it so troublesome to keep charging your phone? And the iPhone looks kinda retarded with the portable charger sticking out. Talk about portable designs.
Next, I dislike touch screen ONLY phones. Get it right, there's the "only" word there. So I don't mind having a touch screen phone BUT it needs to come with a minimum 12 keys keypad. This is to ensure that I can still use my phone even if the screen is off calibrated. Imagine having to touch the extreme side just to tap on the centre screen icon? So irritating right??!!
Lastly (for now), the durability of the phone is way worse than many phones out there. Drop once, DIE. Simple. As I'm not known to be a careful user, having an iPhone means changing it every now and then. Why? Refer to my second statement of this paragraph. Therefore, it is not cost saving to get an iPhone even if the speed is better than my BB. That I admit.
To conclude, the BB offers better factors which suits my needs. And I still feel that having a BB doesn't mean I'm missing out the goodness of iPhones. Well, I can just use my friends one what. :P
Ok. So I hope this shed some light into... Whatever you wanna call it. Ok, back to "work"!
