At first, I used Windows Media Player playing all music. But after my boyfriend got an iPod mini around 3 years ago, I started using iTunes. I didn’t care or even concerned about the differences really. However, I did prefer iTunes because of its interface. Just so you know, iTunes has a nice, neat, and organized interface. Recently, I change back to Windows Media Player because it’s faster. I’ve got to tell you that I’m still using iTunes for my iPod but if I would like to play songs from my computer, I prefer using Windows Media Player.

It’s like Windows tries to make Windows Media Player look hi-tech by using visualization, but it really doesn’t work for me. I feel like it does interrupt my feeling really, I’m not using it though. For its library, it’s just too much to categorize every little things on this window. One more thing, if I were Windows, I would release something like podcast of iPod because there are a lot of people choose iPod because of this kind of service. Anyway, Windows Media Player is much faster than iTunes.

For iTunes , I’m just about to love its interface, but there are some problems have shown up. I used to open iTunes with iBook, and it worked very well. In contrast, when I opened it with PC, it was too slow and froze so often. This kinds of problems annoyed me a lot. I don’t understand how come Apple lets them happen. I’m not quite sure if it’s because of different OS. If not, why the results are so different. Basically, many people using iPod and PC should get the same priority as people who use all Apple products.

All in all, iPod needs to use with iTunes and I have an iPod, so I have no way to leave iTunes behind. Such a great marketing plan, isn’t it? Even though I love iTunes interface crazily, I use Windows Media Player more frequently because of its comfort.

Living a life is not easy, but living together with somebody else is much harder. People who’re from different backgrounds, interests, and lifestyle can live together. What about how they live?? Have you ever think about living with someone as roommates for a long while? Will you have any problems? Will you fight? The closer people are, the more problems they have. And it’s real.

I heard a lot of bad experiences about roommates from people surrounding me; for instance, some roommates don’t care about cleaning rooms, some of them invite their boyfriends or girlfriends to Apt. and ask their roommates to get out for a while in the rainy day, or roommates break people’s privacy. I never have a roommate before until now in NYC where the rent is so expensive. I knew my roommate for around 6 months before we moved to this Apt. Although we were not so close, I knew she was a nice person. However, when we started living together, everything was alright and we were very careful about doing things in the 2 bedrooms Apt. The problems have shown up not because she changed or I changed but it was about the differences and lack of care.

I really have no idea about all these but we start do not like what another person do. She doesn’t like mine and I also don’t like hers. We know too much about another one. I think it’s because sometime people think about only themselves and forget to watch out how others behave or feel about what they’re doing. Forgiveness is the most significant thing for this situation. Even though it’s really hard to forgive someone and avoid fighting right after he/she make you be angry, we’ve got to do it. Adjustment is another important thing for people who live together. We have to be careful not to make another person feel too uncomfortable that leads to broken relationship.

Relationship is unpredictable, but I deeply believe that everybody can live with one another. We just have to be careful, care about others’ feelings, find the balance, and be happy to have others in our lives. I don’t know what’s going to happen here. I’ll do my best anyway. *(’v')*

How cool that people, recently, are able to watch movies at home without going out to a movie rental store!! I’m just about to love it. I don’t want to go find a movie in a store because I just don’t like doing it. But who cares? Now, I’m just home and able to watch movie instantly via or .

Let’s talk about Netflix first because it exists before Apple TV. My friend’s uncle told me about this service because we all loved watching movies. I registered about almost one year later after I moved to a new apartment and found out that it was really fantastic. I’ve paid a little money for 4-5 movies a month. Moreover, I’m able to see some movie instantly without paying any extra. The price is absolutely reasonable. Furthermore, the service is great. The mail movie was lost once and when I let them know, they sent another one immediately. I was so impressed.

About Apple TV, I have to say that I never use or even see how it works in person, but I bet I can imagine after watching their guided tour: http://www.apple.com/appletv/guidedtour/ . I think it’s pretty cool but it’s kind of expensive compared to Netflix. I don’t think it’s worth if I have to pay $229 for an Apple TV (cute) box and $2.99 per a movie or $3.99 for HD.

Eventually, I couldn’t even tell whether Apple TV is better than Netflix or not since I will not buy it at all. And surely, I’m really appreciated what I have right now.

In a dark room, it’s not easy to play computer without hurting your eye sight. However, I love to use my computer on my bed before going to sleep, so I need something to help me take care my eyes. Finally, I’ve found it!! I bet you guys are wondering what it is. It is a small thing in small amount of money and has more powerful light than what I thought when I bought it on the internet: GoldenGadgets.com

Ta Da… Here we are. It is what I’m talking about. It’s kind of long, isn’t it? And it’s blue, the color I like. The first time I saw it I didn’t think it would be this helpful, but I found out it was in the first time I use. It’s astonishing that a small thing like this help me a lot and make me enjoy playing my computer in the dark than I used to be.

Oh… I forgot to mention that it use USB in order to get it worked. ;P
