Fight Club

In college, when we discovered drinks, we used to chide each other saying that somebody’s hands tremble to signal that it is time for one. Somewhat like that towards the end of the week I feel like writing something (read complaining). As usual on Mondays I kid myself that there is a plan for the week and psyche myself up to get going. But towards the end of the week, enthusiasm dies down and then thoughts about what could have made my life better kicks in. Start dreaming about what if I went to work in jeans, T-shirt and slippers and worked with a bunch of fantastic guys who are out to do something than make-believe they are doing something. Sometimes I think I know what I need crystal-clear, talking about illusions.



Started reading ‘Fight Club’. I must be very bad in writing reviews, if I ever attempted. But somehow I seem to like every book or it must be that by spending one hour to choose a book from library I am making sure that it is appealing to my taste. I took this because its film version starred Edward Norton. From the time I watched ‘Primal Fear’, I think he overtook my previous hero, Richard Gere by just outperforming him. He must be an example on ‘Attention to Detail’, ‘Preparation’ and ‘Talent’ for novice actors. I haven’t seen the movie ‘Fight Club’ yet, but judging by the book, it will be something like ‘Seven’. One sentence from the last page I read is still lingering: “Sometimes when you wake up, you have to ask where you are.”

I am traveling to Scotland next weekend for three days. We are going to Edinburgh (in time for the festival, I think), Fort William and Inverness. Hope this will be a good break.

How many cell you carry??

I shall be asking a question how many Cell phones do you carry??

another one, how do you decide which cell phone to buy? is the price , looks, features or everything together. for me the price and looks are the most important things, There was a nationwide survey conducted and financed by a cell phone manufacturer. At that time I owned 3 cell phone units. Now I only have two, and I admit it’s already old. Thanks to my hammer, I managed to smash one and all I have is 2 phones one D&G Motorola V3i and a Nokia 6270.



But what is a cell phone? According to wikipedia.org, the mobile phone (also called a mobile, wireless, cellular phone, cell phone, or hand phone(hp)) is a short-range, portable electronic device used for mobile voice or data communication over a network of specialized base stations known as cell sites. In March 2008, the total number of mobile phone subscriptions in the world reached 4.2 billion, or half of the human population, which also makes the mobile phone the most widely spread technology and the most common gadget in the world. In addition to the standard voice function of a telephone, current mobile phones may support many additional services, and accessories, such as SMS for text messaging, email, packet switching for access to the Internet, java gaming, bluetooth, infrared, camera with video recorder and MMS for sending and receiving photos and video streaming, GPS etc.



Indeed, the uncanny cell phone has become an all-around multimedia device. There is one small problem though if you do not have Unlocked Cell Phones - you cannot use other SIM card other than the one recommended by the manufacturer. To remedy this, you have to avail of the services of a qualified technician which will cost you some cash of course for getting quick buck out of it, it moslty happens in sets like Apple Iphone, LG prada etc.

Aviod Coffee stains to Ruin watch

Last moth i went to Singapore for an Asain tour and it was there i found some real good cheap electronic stuffs i picked up good Nikon DLSR camera for half the price it has been selling in Walmart. I also got a great looking Gucci watch but I am not sure weather it is original or not, never the less it was worth every penny of it. The camera was pretty sleek and so I started fonding with as I bought it and took some good snaps. Like the ones below.





This when the coffee mug I photographed above somehow fell on my wrist as I was very clumsy trying to get a awkward angle of the jasmine kept on my coffee table of Mac Donald's.My new watch and the old Noodle strap dress was all wet and I almost lost my watch, but thanks to these handy tricks My watch was saved for the day,here they are.

There are simple ways to clean your watch and there are few things you need. These are -

1. Rubbing alcohol
2. Soft-bristled toothbrush
3. Lint-free cloth
4. White vinegar
5. Baking soda


(1) First is to remove the bracelet. If you can’t remove it, be sure not to get the watch wet while cleaning the bracelet, even if it’s water proof

(2) Immerse or soak the bracelet into the water and dish soap or rubbing alcohol for a few minutes or more. The more dirt will be loosened and makes your scrubbing easier for you.

(3) In scrubbing the bracelet, use a soft-bristled toothbrush to scrub between the links of the bracelet both from the outer and inner curves.

(4) Next is to dry the bracelet with a limp-free cloth to avoid fibers from getting stuck between the links. Then re-attach the bracelet to your watch.

(5) For leather straps , clean it with a mixture of white vinegar and water and a toothbrush. Then let the straps dry completely before wearing it in air.

SO use these tips if you dip your watch in water or pour coffee over it. BTW here is a bonus picture I took with the camera .
