Gadget Alert!!! (Reposted from 360)

I've reposted this blog from my Yahoo 360 here...

I've gone out and bought myself a new gadget! AGAIN! Well I was long overdue to get a new cellphone... so here it is my Motorola RAZR V3i. This pic is of the silver blueish one, I got a Mauroon one .
Let me tell you getting this damn phone has taken forever, I remember a year ago telling my friends that I needed a new phone, but I just never got around to it. Instead I got my new ipod Nano, a new Tumi laptop backpack, my Blackberry, new speakers for PC, even a new purse but I just never got around to getting that new phone. And all that time not 1 new pair of SHOES

But I got it now...wow was it a hassle even after I got it. The damn thing was faulty, it had a faulty battery cover that would not close right. I took it back to the store immediately that day, but the guy claimed that he didnt have another Mauroon set to exchange it for and he didnt have any spare battery covers So i demanded that he order one in and let me know when I can come back to do a swap. Can you beleive the retard actually tried to bend the cover so it would fit. He tried to assure me it could be fixed and was a small matter not a problem, actually first he tried to tell me that it was fine, then he tried to tell me to go to Motorola directly cos it was still under warranty. The NERVE! I was starting to get agitated! But I relented got the number of the store, left my number and he said he would call back the next day.

The next day, it was noon and still no call so I called them up and some other person answered and was clueless, he put the same guy back on the phone and the guy was like I can't help you, can you just come down back to the store and my manager will speak to you. I was like WTF??!! What exactly is your manager going to do for me... he said he didnt know and just to come down. I was infuriated.. Let me speak to you Manager!!! ARgggghhh...

Get this the Manager, was a even bigger RETARD!! He said dont worry dont worry I'll fix it.. I was like what do you propose to do to fix it. Why can't you just get me a replacement cover. Your guy tried fixing it already and couldn't! He said, oh my guy isnt as experienced, I can fix it for you.. don't worry dont' worry and I said what if you can't. I'm not coming down there for you to try to fix it and then not have a replacement, I will come down for you to try but you better have that replacement cover when I'm there! He was like don't worry don't worry AGAIN!! and HUNG UP on ME!!

Oh I was soooo mad!! But I went down to the store later that day and after fiddling with it for 15 mins trying to "fix" it... he gave up and sheepishly said, Oh i've never encountered this before... and I was like I told you it was a defective cover!!! He then went ahead to replace the battery cover with another one and this one worked!

Well, after that terrible ordeal. I've recovered from the trauma of incomptent and idiotic and retarded sales people, I am now fiddling around with the features on my new phone, putting new ring tones on it.. havent yet fiddled with the other features... it is KICK ASS... and looks so sleek and cool!

One night in Bangkok

Ok so I'm back from my little offsite from Bangkok.. I have to say I was quite dreading it... but it turned out to be quite alot of fun and way too much drinking for some one thats given up alcohol.... The highlights of my trip was dabbling in another professional career as an actress. We had a 2 1/2 min video production filled with sex, violence and comedy.. or as much as we could pack in a 2 1/2 minute amateur production with no editing...it was indeed quite a fun event to do...of course having a hot dutch co-star helped. But I think I'll stick to my day job...On that note.. yup... co-star sure was a hottie.. dayum too bad he married... oh well just my luck huh..

Emotions: Bereavement

Today I heard news that a friend just lost their less than 2 week old baby... the news obviously came as a shock to me and I was speechless at first. Emotions are such a curious thing that lurk within you and make you feel and react instinctively without thought... when i first heard about it through a mutual friend, unbeleivably, i thought well maybe it was best that they lost their baby... what a horrible thought I know... for 2 reasons I thought this.. 1) The baby wasn't well, he had a heart condition and probably would not have the quality of life that he deserved...I dont know the details of his heart ondition but that was one thought and the other 2) the couple, the mother and father have been going through some trying times and as much as I know the father loves his son, I also know that for months the father wanted to end his relationship with the mother... and I think in some way he gave in because of their unborn child.... What a horrible thought but in my mind it was like an escape for this couple... to work on their relationship without the complications of a child... then i also realised that maybe this loss might bring them closer in their shared lost...but whatever the case maybe I do not wish that upon anyone and am truly sorry for their lost...

I went to the blog that I heard from our mutual friend that announced this tragedy... and as I read the blog... all those thoughts were completely erased from my mind... the cold thoughts of an outsider were completely erased and i started to tear and feel the full strength of emotions overwhelm me... my friend has just lost her baby... and I can't even begin to imagine the pain she and her boyfriend are going though... I love you Tati and Mark...and even though I'm not posting this on my 360 blog where you guys and all our friends would see it ...(I think its too painful and too insensitive to post these personal thoughts of mine there... I did post my condolescences on Tat's 360) my prayers and thoughts are with you and your beautiful son Tomas.
