Sales

I don't get how some people are so good at them. I never find anything I really like on sale. I go to these places that have sales, and either end up walking out cos I am too scared of the crowd, or buying something full price. I am the person that makes sales possible - I buy the 'new, full price' stuff so others can focus on digging out the good cheap stuff.

I mean people walk in to a sale, and walk out with a wardrobe full of stuff. All I find is sweat! And frustration!!!

Everything that I do like in a sale, isn't available in my size. I used to be a small. And now I hate small people :).

And shoes. Everyone talks how awesome shoes are available on sale. When!!!??? Where!!??? All I see is stuff that is torn, chipped, broken, or I wouldn't buy to give away.

Purses are another thing. Dudes, sales mean good stuff at less prices, not crap at any price!

So I don't get sales. Not to mention I hear about them 2 days before they are about to get over which means there's nothing left anyways :).

Sunsets

I grew up assuming everyone could see sunsets every day. And when I got married and moved to a place you couldn't see sunsets, sunsets were low priority anyways.

But went to a beach today. And the sky looked phenomenal. Reminded me how awesome it came be.

iPhone 5

Everyone knows I love my phones. I was a non-techie, non-geek, money saver, penny pincher till I got the Nokia N70. Since then my phone became my personal friend in my pocket, and I have upgraded phones almost once a year, sometimes more!

And I was a die-hard Nokia fan for the ease of use and familiarity as I went from one model to another, knowing the basic features would stay stable. But that very familiarity was the downfall as far as I was concerned - a brand new phone stopped feeling new because everything was still in the same place an worked exactly the same way as before. Of course the arrival of touch killed Nokia, but I did use a HTC diamond and go back to a Nokia.

My point here? I love Apple iPhones. I am a real fan. I even used an android Samsung Galaxy, and really appreciate features like easy copy/paste and big screens and awesome cameras. But if I have a choice and the money (and thanks to my dad I do), I would use iPhone as the primary phone, and the android as a second phone.

Continuing the point? I really love iPhones. And with having dropped my iPhone 4 in water and made it unusable, and using an iPhone 3GS right now, I will buy an iPhone 5 at some point. But if what people are saying is true and Apple hasn't done much to the overall features in the phone - and my iOS6 on 3GS says it hasn't - getting a hype up about the next iPhone - 5S or 6 or whatever - is going to be damn difficult for Apple. They don't have the lead anymore, or if they do, it's very short. They need to innovate big. They set high expectations, now they have to live up to being THAT company that makes THAT phone.

And hurry up. I love iPhones. I felt very guilty when I gave up Nokia. Don't make me go through that again.

New design

Ahh, was just visiting the blog on the comp, and thought I'd try out something new... Interesting layout, will probably be annoyed in a few days if I see it on the comp too often. Hmmmmm...

My story

I think songs and poems and never get around to writing them down. Thot one today. Thot I'd write it down.

(damn forgotten the cool words and tune already)

Maybe I'm good at what I do
Maybe I can be better
Maybe that's my story

Maybe I love like no other
And I am a good mother
Maybe that's my story

Maybe I'm only ordinary
Maybe I'm extraordinary
Maybe that's my story

I may be special
I may be simple
But maybe that's my story

Massages

I don't get them. As in don't understand them. People love the relaxation and the kneading blah blah. Maybe I haven't had a good massage. But the oily ones leave me feeling icky. And the machines just hurt my bones.

Am sitting on the back massage machine now and using the foot massager. All I can think is that my shoulder blades hurt and my toes are getting squished. Where is that aaaaaaaaaah moment?

I don't get massages.

Chicken or egg

Are we confident of our work because we are good at what we do? Or are we good at what we do because we are confident?
