All Work No Play

June 4, 2008  |  Apple, Random, Rants, Work

… Makes Jack a dull little boy.

That’s how I am feeling, I’ve been so stressed out at work, got a lot of things going on.  People often tell me that I’m sort of spoiled and that I exaggerate things.  But I’ve been pulling myself from all the different angles and I believe I might’ve stretched myself out too thin.  This weekend is going to be non-existant because I have a training course on Saturday all morning, and Sunday – Monday evenings after work.  Then Tuesday – Wednesday back to afternoon shifts.  Ugh It’s like the cycle will just never end or stop.

I’m dying to go out shopping but I have no time.  Dying to write a new post but I have no time, I was tagged by Swair and MYK for the Quirks tag but I still don’t have time to do it yet.  And I was awarded the Arte Y Pico Award by Purgatory and had a nice mention by Intlxpatr through an award she gave to Purg.  I still don’t have time for that.  Not to mention I don’t have time to sleep.  Why am I putting up through all this I don’t know.  Although one thing I am looking forward to which is the months of July – Sept.  I might be taking time off and heading back to the States with Daddy for some medical check ups.  And I told him I wanted to apply for a part time job at Apple Stores there.  I really feel that I might love working part-time there or something just to test it out.

Anyways, I’m working on a redesign which is not yet complete, because I can’t find some time to sit and do it but oh well it’ll be ready when it is.  One cool thing however was the mention I got in the “Yabeela Blogs” where I was the ONLY female in between all those male blogs :) I felt so cool!

iPhone Status: Currently Unavailable

May 10, 2008  |  Apple, I want..

The past few weeks were kind of crazy in terms of the availability of the iPhone.  The minute I said I wanted to get one it started to become out of stock, must have been a sign from good ol’ Steve Jobs for me to wait for the 3G model, and trust me it worked.

A few weeks ago the Shipping for the iPhone was an estimate of 5-7 business days.  And now I was surprised to find this on both the UK & US Apple Store: Currently Unavailable.

We all know that WWDC is coming up on the 9th of June and that is when they will most likely introduce the new iPhone but the “Currently Unavailable” status was put up today almost 29 days away from the actual event so let’s hope that they release the new model sooner than we think.  I am dying here for an iPhone!!

Review: The Macbook Air That Stole My Heart

March 21, 2008  |  Apple, My New Toys, Reviews, Techie

The Apple should never fall away from its owner, am I right or am I right?  I really don’t know what that really is going to mean but I just realized today that I am forever in love with the Macbook Air, and to go back to a Macbook would be the hardest thing ever.  It’s just that hard.

Many of you have asked for a review and as many technical websites have already reviewed the wonderful masterpiece, that is called, the Macbook Air.  I believe I will offer a different kind of review.  A review of my usage since I’ve had it for almost a month now or slightly a bit more.  I will talk about the different aspects of it and give an opinion on each.

At Least They Didn’t Break My Heart

February 26, 2008  |  Apple, New Products

Apple has gone and done it all over again! Ever since the beginning of this new year they have been rolling out announcements every Tuesday whether it’s a minor color update to the iPod nano or a new iPod Touch update, now it seems that they have updated both the Macbook and Macbook Pro lines.  And had they revamped the image of the Macbook I would’ve been one angry sailor since I still want a nice sexy Aluminium Macbook but thankfully they are keeping that under their secret beds until some later release I guess during the year where they update both looks of the Macbook Pro’s and the Macbook’s.  And you know they will do that.

So what’s new in the Macbook Pros? Increased Penryn Processor speeds to 2.4Ghz and 2.5Ghz, more hard drive space in between 200GB-250GB, and better Graphics Cards of course.  LED-lighting for their 17 inch model.  And let’s not forget the beautiful Multi-touch Trackpad that made it’s debut in the Macbook Air.  The Macbook Air is literally the 12inch Powerbook G4 now since it’s starting to resemble the Macbook Pro line in its looks but still stay true to its underpowerness of the Macbook line.  Prices of the Macbook Pros remain the same.

The Macbooks however are faced with the same increased Penryn Processor speeds of 2.1Ghz and 2.4Ghz, more hard drive space starting at 120GB-250GB, and more RAM from the base model of 1GB to a 2GB standard on the mid and high range Macbooks.  Unfortunately nothing else is new there and the prices are the same as well.

$1099. Macbook 13″ 2.1GHz / 1GB / 120GB / Combo / White
$1299. Macbook 13″ 2.4GHz / 2GB / 160GB / Super / White
$1499. Macbook 13″ 2.4GHz / 2GB / 250GB / Super / Black

$1999. Macbook Pro 15″ 2.4GHz / 2GB / 200GB 5400RPM / 256MB Vram
$2499. Macbook Pro 15″ 2.5GHz / 2GB / 250GB 5400RPM / 512MB Vram
$2799. Macbook Pro 17″ 2.5GHz / 2GB / 250GB 5400RPM / 512MB Vram

Visit the Apple Store to order any one of those beauties.  But I sure am glad that I’ve got my sexy Macbook Air with me ;)

O M G! I Did IT!

February 7, 2008  |  Apple, My New Toys, Travel Log 08

Oh my GOD! I actually did it! I actually went out and bought the new MacBook Air! And you have no idea how happy and ecstatic I am! I really I am! I got the stock model the 1.6Ghz with 80GB HDD and boy am I loving it! I am not going to bore you all with lots of jibberish talk well maybe I will in a second! I started off the day wanting to go out and shop but at the same time I wanted to sleep in since I was over active these past few days.  Yesterday I spent it shopping at Rue21 and then Macys.  But all I got were amazing items from Rue21 and not Macys.  I had Fudds for lunch yesterday and we went and met S2 who is another girl living here with her family and stuff.  It was all in all a great day!

So this morning I woke up and still wanted to buy the Macbook Air, you know I had decided that if I didn’t buy it before I left here then I would not buy it at all and just wait for another revision.  Today happened to be my day.  I called the West County Apple Store and they had it in but had a few pieces left, then I tried calling the St. Louis Store but got a busy tone! And so I was thinking I should go to St. Louis which by the way is a 2 hour drive! But no one wanted to come with me! So I decided to give the University Bookstore a shot and guess what! They had gotten some in last night and so I rushed and woke up Dee and we walked to TigerTech and bought it! Do you know that the freaking box is unbelievably SMALL! It’s just amazing.  I’m installing my stuff on it right now so I guess I should leave you with a few pictures! Yes I have Photoshop and I resized them! YAY!

iPod Touch Arrived

October 30, 2007  |  Apple, My Life, My New Toys

Yay it’s finally here!  I got my iPod Touch earlier yesterday however I was too busy playing around with it that I didn’t bother to write up a post.  I also wasn’t feeling that great from work, but let’s just say I have ended my sentence with that poor excuse of a branch and I am finally going back home tomorrow! Wooot!  So what more should I say, I guess I will leave it to pictures of my beautiful baby.  A review will be coming up this weekend in regards to the touch :)  Enjoy  the pictures.

I Hate Mornings & Short Days

October 22, 2007  |  Apple, My Life, My New Toys, Random, Techie

I am not much of a morning person, okay and I just realised I have exactly 2 minutes  to finish writing this post and head on upstairs to pick out something to wear for work.  Oh and did I forget to mention that some days (aka everyday) I wish I could round up every person in this world and shove them into a nice pit filled with gasoline and burning wood and then burning them.  I think sometimes it would be fun but the only people exempt from this procedure would be my babies “Johnny Depp, Jack Sparrow, Johnny Depp, Milo Ventimilga, Josh Duhamel, ugh lots more hot men!”

I am obsessed with tracking my iPod Touch.  And it has come to me refreshing the tracking page every second of the day.

I need more hours in the day to sleep and rest.  I should stop reading for now because it’ll take away from sleep time.  Now I have finished my 2 minutes.  Anyone who hears anything about the availability of the W910i in any store just drop me a comment hello and I’ll be sure to check it out.  Otherwise feast your eyes on my current obsession!

iPod Touch Ordered

October 18, 2007  |  Apple, My Life, My New Toys, Techie

So as I have mentioned before I’ve been wanting the Touch, hell I want all Apple products that have ever been produced but then again no I don’t think so.  My sisters Gina and Danielle have decided to get it for me and I have asked them including Angie or as I like to call her Neece to have something engraved on it that will make me smile when I see it.  They wanted something to engrave sadly enough Apple felt that it was “inappropriate” and therefore we had it changed to the following inscription:

biting friends forever!

love, satan xoxo

Anyhow, yesterday marked the day I placed the order, I hope that it will arrive earlier than the projected date because I can’t seriously wait all the way until Nov 2 for delivery.  Who knows Apple has been known to suprise it’s customers on more than one note.  I love those three including Lulu and I can’t wait to enjoy the maximum out of my Touch!  I will cure the need to have an iPhone with this little sexy device.

Sony Ericsson’s W910 is still not out here in Kuwait however it has been launched in different countries around the world, some give good reviews and others not so good, GSMArena has yet to provide me with one.  Can’t wait until it hits stores here.   Sad thing though is that Barrak’s Site has not mentioned it as “Coming Soon” yet so that’s weird.

Looking Forward To

October 9, 2007  |  Apple, Creative, Designs, Hot, My Life, Random

… the Eid break!  No matter how short or how crazy it’s going to be I’m looking forward to it because I can catch up on some sleep and rest my poor over-abused self!

It sucks having to just go day in and day out dealing with alot of things and not have a small amount of time to yourself, it even sucks more when you can’t enjoy your sleep anymore it becomes a matter of just sleeping enough to pass the neccessity for sleeping time.  If I ever made sense about that!

Anywho here are somethings I am checking out:

Sony Ericsson is coming out with a “Havanna” Edition for their new phones.  The W910i and W880i in Havanna Bronze are just HOT!

You have to love those Mac Fanboys who spend some time creating their renditions of how they want the products to look like.  This is their rendition of the MacBook Pro Touch!

October 4th

October 4, 2007  |  Apple, I want.., Wishlist

So it is officially 2 months before I age gracefully if that’s what we can call it.  I already have my 2 or 3 gray hairs (courtesy of God knows what!) and I already ache in the knees and have all sorts of old people trouble, hell I can’t see (should look into Lasik now that I am beyond that age) and well I don’t know what else.  But it seems weird.  So I thought what better way to do everything than post an early Birthday Wishlist as I did last year.  Sad thing is I don’t have everything figured out in my head.  At the current and precise moment I have got only 3 things flowing into my mind that I want.  Well the fourth is kind of weird but I’ll mention it as well.
