Can’t Sleep With IMAP

I wonder how many people who are using IMAP can get a good night’s sleep without being interrupted by their email alert. I have been hankering for IMAP for such a long time now and a few months ago, when Gmail starts supporting IMAP, I was so happy.

Now, I am telling friends not to send me frivolous things in the middle of the night!!! Forwarded jokes and mass mail in mailing lists should be sent to another email address of mine and only urgent personal email are to be send to one particular personal Gmail address.

Of course, I could shut off my phone when I am sleeping but then that would defeat the purpose of having IMAP on my mobile device, right? I have mail that I would like to be alerted to at once even when I am sleeping and I am thankful that I have IMAP to do that for me!

Porn iPhone Wallpaper

The other day, I was so amused to discover that there were people looking for porn iPhone wallpaper and came to my blog via search. I find it funny because I don’t remember mentioning porn on my blog but I did mention iPhone more times than I could remember and also wallpaper in the same post.

So I was very tickled that there was someone who wanted porn on his iPhone. You know how dangerous that could be. Someone would just press the home button and see that porn wallpaper. There is no where to hide it at all and there is no way you can pretend that you don’t know how that wallpaper went there!

And all the more dangerous is because of the 3.5in screen that is SO clear. Tell me how can anyone even think of putting porn as their iPhone wallpaper? I do know that Playboy has made available some wallpapers but I won’t call them porn, just “adult”.

Effective Blister Prevention and Relief

Last month, when my friend drove all the way from Kuala Lumpur to Ipoh to celebrate my birthday with me, I saw a pack of plaster in his bang and asked him what that was for. He said that he is a huge blister on his foot due to new footwear.

Well, I thought that was pretty easy to solve problem but then he has not heard of ENGO® Blister Prevention Patches, a very effective Blister Relief product.

When I told him about it, he thought that these patches were to be stuck on his foot. Well, no, these are for patching the problem spots of shoes and footwear that cause pressure on the feet. I am not sure if these are sold in Kuala Lumpur or not but then I could always get a little home from the United States for personal use.

Skateboarding Dog

The other day, I watched the iPhone demo video for the second time and suddenly thought that I should check out the bulldog video on YouTube that knows how to skate. Boy, does he know how!

This video has been viewed more than 1.7 million times!!! Can you believe that? I wish that my video has been viewed by ten percent of these people!! This is a must-watch video if you love animals, especially dogs.

I am sure the owner must be loving him so much. I can’t help but wonder why can’t my dog be this smart??? Yerrrrrrrr he is just TOO CUTE!!!!

No More Viewty

If you have read my blog like 1.5 months ago, I believe you would know that I wanted the Viewty. I know I am being greedy to want both the iPhone and Viewty. After much contemplation though, I decided to stick to my Nokia E61i.

My friend told me that there is no point having two touch screen phones and it is sometimes better to be able to pres buttons than touch screen. This I have to agree! Besides, the screen of the Viewty is not as sensitive and we would have to press harder than the iPhone’s screen. Actually, I can’t decide which is better.

Sometimes I think that it would be better to have to touch harder because with the iPhone, it is so sensitive that many times, I go to the wrong menu accidentally and that just wastes my time.

In any case, I am not going to get the Viewty. It may have an excellent camera but then all those settings for the right shot kills my mood for a good picture!

Looking For Arizona Swimming Pool Contractors

My friend, Paul, who is an architect and contractor, told me that he received a project to remodel a home in Arizona. I was surprised that he managed to secure a job out there even though he does not have an office in Arizona. Paul told me that this property belongs to one of his clients in New York and he loves Paul’s designs so much that he wants Paul to do the house in Arizona as well.

Paul said that he wants a pool built in the garden of this house and was put in touch with arizona swimming pool contractors by a local.

According to Paul, Cameo Pools has thirty years of experience building and remodeling pools for homes in Mesa, Arizona and he has seen their workmanship and thoroughly satisfied with their pools. From what I can see at their website, Cameo Pools has outstanding pool designs that every homeowner would fall in love with!

What Colour Should Your Blog Be?

As you know, I have been trying to change the template of my blog. I have gotten bored with it after twelve long months. Somehow, I could not find one that I absolutely love and yet fits the overall theme of tis blog. Got theme meh??? LOL

Coincidentally, I was browsing Blog Things and noticed a little quiz that is supposed to let us know what colour our blog should be based on the type of blogger that we are. Of course, I tried to answer the quiz as truthfully as possible because I think that these quizzes on Blog Things are rather accurate.

So it says that my blog should be in BLUE. Woohooo…. It IS blue!!!!



Your Blog Should Be Blue


Your blog is a peaceful, calming force in the blogosphere.
You tend to avoid conflict – you’re more likely to share than rant.
From your social causes to cute pet photos, your life is a (mostly) open book.
