Ditching the "Smart Phone" is smarter

My blog shall be generic soon, and thus, it doesn't matter because you're probably the sole reader of this chronicles anyway. I don't care because this is a channel of expression, and yeah. Okay, enough.

While everyone's dying or possibly wasting their life waiting for the new iPhone 5S or C (I will), I am longing to be using the old-fashioned telephone. I know that's a bit too full on, so maybe I will use a semi-smart phone that I used to have a year ago.

I didn't bother to go on Facebook, like every spare time I had. Scroll on instagram, just to see photos of what's what-- but I don't really care. I like Twitter, because it's a random shoutout site, but then, I have Twitter on my old side-slide Nokia.

PROs:

  • I don't waste time on Facebook (especially when getting up in the morning)
  • Not being anti-social on Social networking sites
  • Real communication
  • Old-fashioned, hipsters like that
CONs:

  • No GoogleMaps
  • No random-people-near-me chat apps
  • No good quality camera
  • No tweaking things to make yourself look good (e.g., filters)
  • No iMessage, kik or Viber
  • I will not be able to use 4GB of mobile data
I'm done here, just take me back to 2008. When people texted personally and not a general announcement about what happened to them, reinforced with stupid, smart comments. I'm guilty, but I'm trying to get out of the crime. Rant over.

Garage Sail

Sailors and mermaids! It's been a few weeks since I updated my chronicles. I have been busy living a life like of a sailor. Packing up few clothes and sailing around the broad waters. It's a fun life, it's full of motion and action. Even in your sleep, you get vivid dreams of living in that unknown parallel universe. Buckin' Buddha, love garage sales.

Always try to look for things in the area where it seems like it was the rubbish pile or the heap of disease. Disinfectants are cheap, and just base it to the seller if they look like a hooker or if their home looks like it's been plagued with supervira (plural of virus?). You'll most likely find unused stuff, and always try to haggle because they really don't care anymore-- and they hate annoying buyers, will likely to give up after a little bit of insisting.

I never intentionally go to find these babies. However, this mecca of pre-loved holy grails called Morphett Vale in South Australia, never seem to run out of decluttering households. Every drive to work or back, I always see signs on the main road with makeshift cardboard signs of garage sales, sometimes 4 or 5 at a time. I don't buy new things because to me they have no soul and character. Yes, I think objects can have them. Connotation to the movie, the Conjuring. I didn't post some of the other insignificant and less-manly objects I've bought, (e.g. a dildo, I kid... or I might not be) So yeah, keep an eye in your neighbourhood because one man's trash is a poor prince's treasure! Bon voyage!

Hair product for the almost hairless

It's none of my concern, but it totally intrigued me too. It's pretty basic, a fibre that sticks to hair added with mineral colour. Bam! Synthetic hair. I know I won't need it until probably I turned 105. I'm fairly hairy so it's either I (may) never go bald or be old enough to be bald. 
 


So yesterday, it got in the mail and they can't wait to use it. It was only after breakfast that they did. The old folks tried it out for laughs (really now).

Sim City 2013

As far as I remember, a computers to me in 2001 is synonymous to playing The Sims-- then from then, I discovered Sim City 3000. I liked running cities as much as building houses and manipulating a sim's life. Fast forward to 2013, I still find myself playing Sim City, but now Sim City 4 Deluxe Edition. I've had encountered heaps of trouble by installing dodgy mods, so it meant I had to reinstall my beloved game. It also meant that I had to let go of the beautiful metropolis I've created. I remember when there was a time that I would play the game first thing in the morning and play all day long, literally.

Travelling Light


"Sometimes the only way to find yourself is to get a little lost."


Travelling Light, it's about this free-spirited girl who went for photography and travelling. I can 98% relate to this movie. It's so amazing, I'll tell you more about it on my end-of-month title reviews! The setting was also Adelaide! How cool is that?

And yes, that's me when I was a toddler, and I wasn't dumping. You can see that I have my tiny pants on and that I'm just posing for this. I don't remember this photo, but I'm pretty sure no one could smile like that while their doing their stressful business! ;D

Melt Bulb



Melt Bulb, I think it is really an amazing home fixture. Possibly stuck on the wall. It adds this appeal at the same time lessens our carbon footprint!

The idea behind the design of these melting LED bulbs is to remind people of how we unnecessarily waste energy. They resemble melting ice which symbolises global warming.

Magical case for a magician


iPhone 4s cover From The Reject Shop, 3aud (from 5aud)


Pretty cool hey? It turns blue as it gets brighter! I like the fact that it has a good fit and I didn't spend too much for a decent protection to keep my phone from smashing even further!
