FML: Flip My Life



So, today is one of those FML moments from beginning to end. I just used Flip My Life because I didn't want to curse, that's only for my extreme ranting moments. But every internet user knows what the actually meaning of FML, right ? If not FYL :P. Anyways, let us get the the meat of the ranting, this morning I woke up late, well not late late but I missed my ride to school and breakfast(last night I ate teo hotdogs for dinner). So I had to take the bus. Bare in mind that it takes me approximately 1-2 hours to reach to school from where I live by bus (I have to take two buses btw). Before I go any further it was my Blackberry fault why I was late. I woke up and saw it frozen, hence why it didn't alarm Ugh (I hate Blackberry even more). Anyways, back to the journey. So I left home 7:00 am and reach school at 9: something am. Missing the first class met I missed all my classes. Apparently there are 350+ students in my class. We current occupy two lecture theaters, so finding a seat would be like looking for a needle in a hay stack, seriously :|. So I made my way to the computer lab to 'read'. For the rest of the day, it was me, myself and the computer, no friends because they all had class. I normally have my Blackberry messenger company but he, for some apparent reason, was busy and refuse to talk to me (ouch. well maybe I'm exaggerating...maybe but that's how it felt). Basically, I had no human contact for the day, which meant no lunch (I hate and don't like to eat lunch by myself). It eventually got worse when I found out (well I knew) I had a lab and I left my lab coat. I LEFT MY FRIGGING LAB COAT *angry voice* How did that slip me ?........*rewinds* Oh, I woke up late -.-. By the way, I'm in university and the labs take up a nice 20% of my final grade. I can't AFFORD to fail and be doing over courses. No, I can't ! But it's my fault, I can't blame anyone but myself. So, FML.

7 things I hate about Blackberries


I was listening to Miley Cyrus's song called 7 Things (and no, this blog post isn't about her) and this made me think about my Blackberry. It appears to me that my Blackberry and I are in a relationship, pathetic fallacy much?.I actually treat it as though it were human. I named and it never leaves my side (except when I'm bathing). It was always there for me especially in my times of boredom. Our first encounter was indeed love at first sight, but then, like any typical relationship the flaws and incompatible would come to light as we tried to co-exist. So here is my ranting list about the 7 thing I hate about Blackberries :
  1. They freeze a lot- Ugh, this annoys me the most. I have to be constantly clearing the log and doing numerous amount of battery pulls.
  2. Horrible web browser (the native one)- If you don't have Opera mini web browser then there would be a lot of stuff you couldn't do on these 'smartphones.'
  3. Not so wonderful graphics for the apps- Maybe I'm being biased about this one but compared to iPhone, the apps aren't so 'vista' looking.
  4. For a smartphone, it's kind of hard to watch videos on it- As in most of the Blackberries can't really load videos properly.
  5. They are over priced- I guess they weren't priced for their functions but for their popularity. You can thank Kim Kardashian for this.
  6. Service required to utilize some apps- The Blackberry service is somewhat expensive and without it, you can't access the 'cool' apps like Blackberry Messenger, Facebook for Blackberry and Twitter for Blackberry.
  7. Last but not least, "the 7th thing I hate the most...you make me love you."- Yea, Blackberries are addicting and I hate that I'm addicted and always thinking about purchasing another.
Research In Motion (RIM) needs to do much more research to improve the Blackberry. I see they have a new Blackberry called The Blackberry Torch. There isn't anything new about except that it has Operation System 6 along with the RECYCLED features. They literally that gave it a vista look to attract their BB slaves. IMAGE is definitely everything.

Ranting about nothing


Well, this is my first blog entry on this blog (obviously) and apparently I have nothing substantial to ranting about. Right now, I'm extremely hungry and waiting on my friend to finish his two hour class. I actually feel like I'm an African starving child, no offence but the last time I ate was yesterday and it was a bottle of water and snickers. The air conditioner is at freezing temperature, literally and this is increasing my metabolism. I'm so damn hungry, ugh.
