BlueBerry vs BlackBerry Phones

There is indeed a cellphone called BlueBerry. It's a china-made knock-off of the popular BlackBerry phones. When I first heard about it, I thought Taan was joking around, and she insisted that she was serious. It is a real phone. I search for it online, and found it.
It doesn't look too bad. It looks almost identical to a BlackBerry phone. Even the name and the logo is very similar. At a glance, one would think that it's a BlackBerry phone. Even though it's a knock-off, it still doesn't come cheap. The last I checked, it costs about $164.99. It has a high-definition camera at 640×480, soft keypad, bluetooth, 1G TF card, Dual SIM card functionality, GPRS data, "Snake" game!, and more.

I've read a lot of negative reviews about it. So it might be better to just go with the real BlackBerry phone. The BlueBerry might look like the BlackBerry, but it might not function and work as good as the BlackBerry.

Loving Sneakers

I love sneakers. I buy sneakers that are comfortable and cool - in my eyes. It doesn't really matter much to me if a pair of sneakers is a limited edition one, because if it's not comfortable when I try it on, I most likely would not buy it. Just like Taan, I want to be able to wear the sneakers I buy, and not just display it on a shelf to collect dust. I tend to lean toward simpler sneakers with basic colors that are not too bright. Taan tends to buy bright colored sneakers. Once in a while, I buy a bright colored sneaker that is very comfortable and looks good on me. I don't favor a specific brand. I buy Adidas, Nike, Vans, Puma, Pony, Timberlands, DC, etc. I also tend to buy different colors of the same design / model if I really like it. For me, it's all about comfort. That's the way I roll.

Apple IPad

I found this funny photo all over Facebook in a lot of my friends' pages. I love it. It's basically... IPod Touch + Mushroom (from Super Mario Bros) = IPad. The IPad pretty much looks like a larger version of the IPod touch. I was very excited about it. On the day when Steve Jobs introduced the IPad not too long ago, I was online following it. I'm very tempted to get it when it comes out, but I'm not sure if I should. I'm considering waiting for a later release that would fix some issues that might arise from the first version. All I know is that it's very stylish and I could do a lot of things with it.

3D Photography

At this year's Winter Olympics, a photographer was spotted sporting a 3D camera. This 3D camera was basically two SLRs rigged together to produce 3D photographs. I don't know how you do it and/or how it works, but it works.

The photographer who owns this camera is David Klutho, who wrote a book about 3D photography. He's also a photographer for Sports Illustrated, and I guess he's the main photographer for the Sports Illustrated 3D issues. His book is called In Your Face 3-D: The Best 3-D Book Ever!. I think it's worth checking out if you're interested in 3D photography.

I think that's the future of photography and film as well. There are more and more movies in 3D now than before. They always make me dizzy for the first few minutes, but I start enjoying it more once the headache subsides and my eyes adjust to the images.

Nissan Leaf

The Nissan Leaf is all electric, therefore it has zero-emission and doesn't use any gas. They have not revealed the exact specifications for the car yet, but it looks stylish. People can actually pre-order it soon, and it starts rolling out by the end of this year.
I'm not sure how I feel about it yet, but my first impression was positive. The first thing I thought of was "cool". The option of never having to pay for gasoline again sounds wonderful, but I'm wondering how long the battery will last in one charge. I'm always going on a lot of long road trips, and I don't want to be stuck in the middle of the road because I ran out of battery.

The interior looks very futuristic and spacious. The gear shift/stick doesn't look like any ordinary one. I'm not sure how it works yet, and it doesn't seem like it uses the traditional car keys to start the car. If only I could test drive one.

Yo!!! Shoe lovers

After Annie kept nagging me for weeks to do something about the blog, I decided to do it even i still have tons of assignment to finish.

First of all, I am not considering myself "a collector" I don't buy shoes for collecting in my room hiding it from everyone and only show it by posting the pictures online. I wear every single pair i have. I don't go crazy with crowd with that yeezy shoes or some of the air Jordan that look so stupid but people still buy it because It is "Air Jordan". I don't even have a pair of Nike dunk. I think it looks very cool but i haven't seen the one that i would spend a decent amount of money for it. But hey, don't get me wrong. I am not one of those who anti everything main stream, i just don't fall for the very clever marketing strategies plans of them.

I don't care how much it costs me or what brand would it be-- If I like it, I will buy it.

I check the news about shoes everyday, go on eBay looking for the shoes, go the places looking for shoes....yes i am obsessed about shoes..

I love hi heel,too you know, i think they are amazing, including the people who wear it how they can be in it all day long...

The shoes for me--mostly sneaker-- it is simply love that i have for them. Before you wanna click away from my blog because you are so sick of me rumbling about shit...

Let me show you my first pair... I decided to show this pair because it is the latest pair got from last Saturday. It is very classic very neat look, I fell in love with the pair when i first saw it from a very far distance. I ran to it and grabbed it and i was like I'm done for the day i wanna go home ...



It is a vintage cortez and still has somebody else's name inside. but i don't mind.
One thing about it, though, it's surprisingly support my feet better then a lot of running shoes these days....AMAZING !!!! oh forget to mention the price... 6.99 dollars......period.

Remote Controlled R2D2's Gender

We got a new toy last month. We've been eyeing this item for a long time, but never saw a need to buy it aside from being so enamored by it's cuteness. R2-D2 is one of our favorite characters in Star Wars. Yes, admittedly we are indeed Star Wars fans, but not quiet as avid as we wanted to. School, work, and other cares in life got in the way of becoming an uber Star Wars fan and expert. We do enjoy watching and re-watching all of the movies over and over again, and we enjoy "looking" and "dreaming" of collecting many Star Wars gadgets, memorabilia, etc. We are currently strapped for cash, so we are limited to merely looking and dreaming for now.

Once in a while we come across something we couldn't resist acquiring, and this remote controlled R2-D2 is one of those irresistible items. It's basically similar to a remote controlled car. R2-D2 moves back and forth, making sounds and spinning its head around just like in the movies. Our R2-D2 is smaller than the real one (the movie version), but that makes it so much cuter. Our R2-D2 looks so great displayed on our desk.

Writing this brought me to a question I have long pondered... Is R2D2's male or female? Was its gender ever established before in the movies, comics, etc? Do droids have gender? I initially assumed that R2-D2 is male because of the blue trims around its body - blue being a male color, but I'm doubting my assumptions now. R2-D2 makes girly sounds - high pitched sounds, and blue can also be a female color. Females can be expert mechanics and computer geniuses as well. R2-D2 is also very close to C-3PO, and they're often together. Doesn't that tell you anything? Not to mention how considerably cute and small it is compared to other droids... Regardless, R2-D2 is definitely well-loved by both men and women fans and non-fans alike.
