It’s the 1st of July, it’s been ages since I last updated, it’s been ages since I felt like writing it just seems that I am not in the writing mood lately and I hate that. But enough about that.

The year is almost over.

One more month and a half until my Vacation Time.

Two more months until I make my decision final.

5 more months left of the year in which I hope it ends on a bang and I get my happy ending because it’s about time!

June was a terrible month for most, we had a couple of deaths, one who was a colleague at work, although I didn’t know him well and all but the fact that someone that was just there at work the previous day passed away makes you realize that life is so damn short and not worth all that we make out of it. June also witnessed a major breakdown for me at work, like seriously 2 weeks straight I ended up crying at home, or crying at work. And I am not usually like that.

I still am fed up with everything there but at least I have pushed myself to stop letting it matter.

I twitter more than I blog, it’s easier and less-time consuming but I have a lot of twitter friends on it and it’s so hard to follow them all on it, seriously like some tweet more than once a day and it strains me so I have gotten to skimming through all the previous posts and just read the ones that are directed to me. I love my tweeps.

I need a new toy, any suggestions? Something technological please :)

I’ve been in the worst mood and stage of my life ever these past two weeks, day after day I would spend it feeling so depressed, down, choked, and so much more.  But that is something to discuss in another post, that is if I ever decide to talk about it.  But all of that changed today, since this entire week has been a tearful week for me.  Today was the day that everything changed, well you can say starting from yesterday.

My little sister Lulu just got enrolled into Summer School with my little cousins (Auntie’s Boys) and to me and her they are our favorite cousins.  They just have a cool air about them and they are extra friendly and stuff.  So what happens now, is that every morning my parents drop Lulu off at Auntie’s house and she goes off with them to school and then the driver picks them all up and they go back to Auntie’s place to sit and play until I pass by to pick her up or any one of my parents.

What changed my mood since yesterday?  Well one little boy called Issous! (That is one of his many many many many nicknames!) My 4 year old cousin reminds me of Damien from The Omen.  He truly is a devilish child, filled with mischief and chaos.  Mashalla, he’s so adorable but evil all at the same time hehe.  So you see I went over, saw him and instead of coming to say hello he started to shoot at me with his toy gun.  Later on he would run around me and start to kick me and pinch me.  I started to ignore him but laugh at the same time, so I decided to go see his brother and father to say hello.  I was standing there talking to them and all of a sudden I feel a slap on my bottom.  The little bugger had come up from behind and slapped me on my behind hehe I would turn to him, start to scold him but he would just laugh and run away.  Then I went to the living room, sat on the couch and was chatting with my Aunt, and all of a sudden he comes and starts to separate my fingers and tells me “Don’t worry I will not hurt you” in that cute adorable accent of his.  He would be moving my fingers back and forth stretching them beyond their ability and I would just ignore him but laugh at the same time hehe.  I guess I am an enabler.  He gets on top of me after I tell him to stop bcos it hurts and starts to take off my glasses because he thinks I look nicer without them, and drops them to the floor.  I yell at him but then he starts to tickle and pinch me, I would hold his hands wrap them around his body and start to tickle him but he kicks some more.  It goes on until one of us runs away and just stops hehe.

Today was no different but the most fun part is when I grab him, push him on his bed, sit on his legs and tickle him crazy, he’d go insane and I’d just sit there and laugh at him hehe and then he would come and reciprocate hehe with his toy sword, trying to cut me.  My Aunt tells me that I am the reason he is like this because I am picking on him, but I tell her it’s fun hehe, she’s like if it’s fun then don’t get mad when he hurts you hehe.  He truly is one insane little child but he has that devilish smile that you can’t help but fall in love with.  To me he always says “Bye Bye Pum pum” I think that means Bye Bumbum (as in butt, as in behind, as in tush) and when I say it back then he goes “Bye Bye Pi Pi” LOL! Wallah if you have some kid like that how can you be depressed, really just try to explain that to me!

I love you Issous, and Toons as well.  And of course I can never forget to mention little Lulu because you three are my three little muskateers!

I think that just like birds we as humans should migrate to the north when the weather gets unbearable and those in the north migrate south to enjoy the summer breeze because seriously nothing beats this summer heat. It’s insane really and I just can’t stand it! I need to get out of that summer heat and vacation somewhere!

Help….

My A/C broke down the last two nights and I haven’t been sleeping at all, I got so frustrated I almost cried and went to sleep in the bedroom of Sister #3 bcos it is a million times better but then again I am not used to sleeping in other bedrooms than mine :s

I’m tired from everything.

I just want to rest and relax.

I’m simply tired.

Apple’s WWDC Keynote was today, the 8th of June, the anticipation and excitement was high for the event, everyone expecting awesome changes made to the iPhone, to say the least, everyone expected iChat Video Calling but unfortunately it did not deliver much in that area.

The Keynote led by Phil Schiller covered a number of topics which I believe shouldn’t have been covered at the WWDC but they were so I guess it’s okay.  Let’s take a look at what was introduced:

1. 13″ Macbook is now called the 13″ Macbook Pro, this new model offers the same non-replaceable battery available in the 17″ Macbook Pro and adds Firewire 800 port and an SD Card Slot.  The price begins now at 1199$ for the entry level model which is a 100$ difference than before.  The Specs are now as follows:

- $1199. 13″ MacBook Pro. 2.26GHz. 2GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce 9400. 160GB HD. Firewire
- $1499. 13″ MacBook Pro. 2.53GHz. 4GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce 9400. 250GB HD. Firewire

Availability: Now

2. 15″ Macbook Pro & 17″ Macbook Pro, both models are now similar in offering the non-user-replaceable battery that was found in the 17″ model which offers 7 hours of runtime and up to 1000 charge cycles.  The Express Card is now gone and replaced with the SD Card and an improved display quality.  Prices start now at $1699 which is a $300 reduction from the previous price point.  The Specs are now as follows:

- $1699. 2.53 GHz, 4 GB RAM. NVIDIA GeForce 9400M, 250GB HD. Firewire.
- $1999. 2.66 GHz, 4 GB RAM. NVIDIA GeForce GT. 320GB HD. Firewire.
- $2299. 2.8 GHz, 4 GB RAM. NVIDIA GeForce GT . 500 GB HD. Firewire.

The 17″ Model however sees a new entry price level at $2499 from the previous $2799 but maintains the Express Card Slot along with the SD Card Slot

Availability: Now

3. Macbook Air, has also faced a major change in the laptop line, in which there is a $300 price drop making the entry level price a mere $1499 and the SSD high end level maintaining a $1799 price tag.  The speeds have increased from 1.6Ghz and 1.8Ghz to 1.86Ghz and 2.13Ghz.

-$1,499US: 1.86GHz Core 2 Duo, 2GB DDR3 RAM, GeForce 9400M graphics, 120GB HDD
-$1,799US: 2.13GHz Core 2 Duo, 2GB DDR3 RAM, GeForce 9400M graphics, 128GB SSD

Availability: Now

4. Safari 4 is now Official and available for download starting today for both OSX and Windows.  We can say Good bye to the Beta Mark :)

5. Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard will be shipping in September, for existing Leopard users it’s a $29 upgrade and a $49 Family Pack.  Tiger users will have to purchase it for 169$ including iLife 09 and iWork 09 and the Family Pack for $229.

6. iPhone OS 3.0 will be available June 17th free for existing iPhone users and a $9.95 upgrade for iPod Touch users.  One of the newest features includes the “Find My iPhone” where MobileMe subscribers can locate their iPhones using the GPS capabilities and take control of their missing/lost device.

7. iPhone 3G S: The whole point for the keynote or reason people were anticipating the event was the iPhone, the last thing discussed.  The 3rd Generation is now referred to as “iPhone 3GS (S Stands for Speed)” and will be available on June 19 in the US, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, and the UK.  The other countries will start to follow as soon as one week later to a few months.

Looks wise it is exactly the same, same colors of black and white, however the price points have changed to $99 for the 8GB model, $199 for the 16GB model, and $299 for the 32GB model (a new size for the iPhone).  [Prices may vary in different countries and towards different plans]

Some of the features included in the new iPhone 3G S include: Digital Compass, Video Recording, Voice Control, 3MP Camera with Autofocus and faster Internet Speeds.
