It’s pretty sad when the domain name that you want is not there anymore. So when you find an interesting, catchy name that you think will be the next big thing, do not hestitate to buy it down.
the hammies are getting more and more busy nowsdays.. I would have to get a bigger cage for them.

I really like classics – they have a timeless feel to them that does not seem like a drag or a timewaster. Rather, the books i find interesting are usually small, spiritual in nature and seem to impart some forgotten wisdom upon reading.
These books are everywhere – the Alchemist is one of them. First Things First is another, though it touches on spirituality in another manner. There is also the Malcolm Gladwell series – the Tipping Point, Outliers, Blink – books that fascinate and disseminates some intriguing points of view – though i never get to finish the Tipping Point (Jolyn has a copy and she doesn’t want to share )=
I like the style that Mitch Albom uses to enchant with the books Tuesdays with Morris and the Five People You Meet in Heaven. His tone lifts the words off the page and into realization. The stories convey the intentions in a hard-to-forget way too.
We usually stumble through life not knowing what we want to do. We should slow down and consider our environment, and our destination. Though traveling without a map can be fun and “really take you places”, you might not know what’s the next place you will end up next, or even like the current place you are in.
I should take some time to define my goals this week.

I have a new phone now, the HTC Snap, which I will now use to stay up to date on the web as well as with friends. It has many features which i appreciate, including GPS (which i will definitely employ during overseas vacations) and email. the sleek look does not hurt either.
More updates regarding NoteCharm coming up next! stay tuned.

I am going to graduate in about a few weeks time. That means the ceremony and the corporate ladder and stuff like that. Work. Maybe a 9 to 5 kind of thing. Or I might go freelance. Or I may go study again, except I promised myself not to take that path, at least for now.
How time flies.

I have been checking out on red wines since a few months back, testing the wines and integrating it into my lifestyle. One glass per night is said to have benefits, though new news claimed that it is only true for people who are already addicted to such pleasures, and does not apply to uninitiated folks like me. Red wines are certainly acquired pleasures, for I did not get accustomed to the taste initially.
I have been taking red wines from the Brown Brothers since one of my friends introduce me to the fine wine makers. Their reds are much fruitier and appealing to non-drinkers like myself and Jolyn, and is quite popular with her family as well as with mine. Jolyn likes the 2008 Merlot. We will certainly be experimenting with the rest of the series and such.
