I have a friend who was an advocate of the 3Rs: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. Although he is no longer with us anymore, I still try to implement his influence in my daily life.

Coincidentally, this morning, I was asked what my GreenIQ is. To be frank, I WANT to help protect the environment, I WANT to “go green” but I have no idea if what I am doing now is right, if it is sufficient.

I took a questionnaire over at http://www.GreenIQ.com to check my monthly score of how “green” I am but my score is not very accurate because this questionnaire is based on American prices, lifestyle and state.

However, I still found this site very informative and resourceful and gained more ideas on how to stop wastage like declining the receipt from the ATM and washing clothes at full loads.

Based on my score, GreenIQ will then recommend products and services to me that they believe will help me be a more responsible green citizen. Although sometimes it feels that no matter how much we do, it is not enough or that the efforts of a single person will not help to improve the world, if all of us combine our efforts, I believe that we can make a difference.

But first, you must take the GreenIQ questionnaire to see how well you score.

I may not be having any holidays some time soon but I know many of my friends and readers have already gone back to their hometown. It is Saturday here in Malaysia and everyone is already in a long holiday mood.

My friend, Doris, already had her Hawaiian holiday and Amy has already reached Bangkok. My friend Jason sent me a text message this morning to let me know that he is on the way back to his home in PJ from his work city of JB. Wawawawa looks like everyone is on holiday already and I am all alone here slogging!

I would like to take this opportunity to wish all my readers Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. May you enjoy the holidays as much as possible but don’t forget to come back to reading my blog when you are done holidaying!!!!

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!

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”.

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.

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!!!!

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!
