Netflix vs Apple TV

Gadgets & Toys, Opinion & Attitude 1 Comment

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 image or image .

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.

Apple TV 

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.

What if we’re just different??

Opinion & Attitude 1 Comment

I’ve found a lot of different feelings about dogs in the world: especially in people in different landscape, culture, and lifestyle. The thing is the expectation of dogs is not so similar.

Here, in NYC, people raise their dogs as friends. They pay big amount of money for particular food for dogs, and caring such as taking a shower in pet care center, hair cutting, and medicare. Then, they keep them in the houses to be friends and walk them for a while everyday in order to let them do their business, but people don’t let them bark.

In my hometown, Thailand, we also raise dogs as friends, but we treat them by ourselves. We bath dogs by ourselves as a nice activity together and feed them what we eat. Eventually, we have specific foods for dogs as well and we feed them in the same way that Americans do. Moreover, we have vets for taking care about dogs’ health, pet care center with bathroom, massage room, swimming pool, and dogs salon. The other difference is dogs are not just friends but house’s guard because they’ll bark when they see strangers.

If you see this kind of situation in person, I bet you’ll be surprised how different dogs are in both places. What I always keep in mind is differences are good things. How could you understand the word "exciting" if everything is the same around the world? And what if every single persons in the world are the same, what will challenge people to think apart, to develop things, to invent new technology, or else. There will be not interesting at all. Will it be the end of human beings that way?

An Americans said to me that "Americans treat their dogs so well, then their dogs have good manners (no barking)" I was wondering if he forgot about the different purpose to let dogs bark. Anyway, people can’t understand all behaviors in different cultures even though they move to and live in the place for more than 10 years. What about people who have been in some places for a while? Is it fair to judge people who are different from you in many many ways by your narrow vision?

There’s something about money!!

Opinion & Attitude 1 Comment

I do have a question in my mind which is "what will you do when you have to split 9 cents half and half?" It’s such a silly question, isn’t it? Yet, I never thought about this kind of question before I’ve faced this situation yesterday. Let’s talk about the choices.

Hmm.. Let’s start with take 4 cents immediately. In my viewpoint, this is fine because it show how nice you are, and that 1 cent is less significant than your relationship.

In contrast, what if one person is greedy enough to take 5 cents as fast as he/she can. In my opinion, it’s not such a good manner. The next question will be "How do you feel about such a person like that?"

Furthermore, the only alternative for me is let’s another person choose first. I think it’s the way to show how I respect him/her. And if he/she let me choose first, I’ll take 4 cents for sure. I won’t let this any kinds of bad feelings ruin the relationship.

Can you guess what I did? I did let her take all of them and said "it was OK, and you could take them all." Then, she took them all and didn’t say anything.

It’s so fun to learn about people from how they behave. Many times, I thought it was impossible to happen in real life, but it was surprised me that I was wrong. Maybe I believe in human beings too well to be true in every single one.

Pink Centro: A perfect gift in Valentine’s Day

I just got a pink Centro for a week from my lovely boyfriend as a present for Valentine’s Day. It’s so early, isn’t it? Anyway, I would love to state about the first time I saw the pink Centro and how I like it. :O

I read about releasing pink Centro about 2-3 months ago. My boyfriend and I need to buy a new cell phone in order to replace Treo 650 (It was his.) which is broken, so we wait for the pink one because I like pink color. Then, we went to the sprint store on W34 St, NY in the first week that we heard about selling pink Centro. However, there was no real pink Centro showed there. I did ask the front desk personnel to see it, but she gave me a brochure and said “it was the same as you saw in the picture.” After that, I asked about the contract from another person because we already were Sprint’s customers, and it looked like she didn’t want to answer any question at all. OMG!! How nice a Sprint customer service personnel was!! I really appreciated her help. Therefore, I got out.

When we got home, we tried to figure out by ourselves how to buy it online which was a lot easier because we didn’t have to deal with a representative in person. Finally, we brought it online with no problem at all. >> It’s like complains, isn’t it? I’m sorry, and I’ll get to the point soon. ;P

How cute the pink color is!! Can you imagine? It’s not pale but bright. And the light underneath the pink keyboard in the dark makes it even cuter. I’ve used a few model of Palm pilot before, so I think the Centro model is pretty good. Since it’s adorable, easy to carry, and fast, it becomes a beloved device. Moreover, Centro catches the Sprint signal much better than Treo 700p. I can say this because it’s so hard to use treo 700p in our apartment, but Centro has no problem about the signal. I never thought that Palm would improve this before, so it was kind of surprise. Nevertheless, what makes me extremely surprise is the size of this handheld device. Because Palm is always strict about the same old model, it never changes really. But Centro is much smaller compared to treo 650 and treo 700p

Does it sound good? I bet most women will like this pink Centro. Don’t you think about getting one for your love? ;P

I just have the first chance to try slingbox the week before last. It’s incredible!! How good that you can watch TV everywhere? How worth that you pay your cable bill every months and have it with you all the time? Even if I have only a slingbox AV, it’s good enough for me now. I’m just about to love slingbox. Anyway, I’m thinking about the quality of slingbox pro if it’s much better than the one I have which reaches my satisfaction. I would love to try once. ;P

My lovely slingbox is small and light weight, so it fits around my computer area perfectly. Moreover, I can say that it’s pretty because of its shape and color that you’ll see in the photos.

IMG_0721 IMG_0724 IMG_0726 IMG_0731 IMG_0738

Using slingbox is really easy. At first, you’ll have to install its program, then with double-click on the shortcut, you’re all set. It sounds too easy, isn’t it? Let’s get one, you’ll never regret.

Eee PC 8GB: Hand on!!!!!!!!!!!

Gadgets & Toys 1 Comment

I am growing up a little, so my toy’s price is a bit more expensive ha ha ha. :O I just got it for 6 hours. Can you guess what it is? A small stuff with rare OS in the white shirt. It’s “Asus eee PC 8GB model”

I was surprise when I saw its box, even though I knew that it’s really small because it’s smaller than I thought.

IMG_0450

Moreover, when the box was opened, I saw a little white stuff at first. OMG!! It was cute. Since I didn’t see the white eee before, I couldn’t imagine how nice it was. The color is pearl white, and that makes it look like a little toy for a princess :D

IMG_0451 IMG_0452

Including some accessories such as battery, tiny adapter, black sleeping bag, and a cute mouse, all little stuffs make eee be cuter.

IMG_0455

What I like the most of accessories is the mouse. I’ll show you how they keep the wire of this mouse below. At first, I was wondering whether it’s a wireless mouse or not, then I found that Asus has an excellent way to manage it. As you see, it’s nice and easy to carry.

IMG_0464 IMG_0467

In addition, it boots at fast speed, really fast. It’s not even reach quarter a minute for starting up. You guys should try by yourself, and you’ll know that it’s true.

IMG_0468 IMG_0471

Unfortunately, one more thing that I need to mention is there is no SSD (Solid State Drive) on board. All memories are on PCIe card besides RAM.

I can’t help falling in love with Asus eee PC at first sight. Grab one, you’ll love it like I do. ;P

The hardest duty of life >> parents..

Opinion & Attitude 3 Comments

I never thought that being a parent is so hard until I grew up. When you were young, have you ever imagined the time you become a parent? I did. But after I knew many people in different background, I’ve changed my vision a lot.

I’d like to mention about my friend’s story. She’s a girl who’s dreaming of her perfect future: living in foreign country, having luxury life style, dating a perfect man, and traveling around the world. It sounds alright. Yet she receives a bad news from her mom which is her dad has a heart attack. She doesn’t want to go back to her hometown because she still enjoys her life in New York. It doesn’t sound wrong, but what about her dad who’s looking forward to seeing her in every single breath. At first, she decided to ignore, then her sister called and said that her father needed her. She get confused. One of her friends said she didn’t have to go back just because her father needed her. She should do whatever she wanted in order to reach her dream!! This scares me a lot. Don’t people care about their parents anymore when they grow up? Do they forget the persons who take care of them all their lives? OMG!!

My friend told me a bit about this man. He is a nice guy and have a good education. Moreover, his family is rich. He said with pride that he paid all of the tuition for his master degree by himself. It’s so good that he could stand on his knees, but let’s think about it for a sec, he said he *only* asked his mom to send him $25,000 a year; just that! nothing else. Hmm..

If you couldn’t imagine how expensive it is in the civilized city like Manhattan, you won’t know that $25,000 could cover all tuition and the payment for standard living. In addition, he also works 6 days a week which earns at least $150 a day–in cash if you may want to know. How could you imagine if this guy has less than $2000 a month in his account. Furthermore, He has an older sister who’s living in Europe and doing nothing just because she doesn’t want to do.

In the long run, parents always love, care, and give their kids whatever their children want. Why do their kids ignore the persons who raise you when they get old? I think it’s about teaching moral when the kids are young. Parents have to show their kids how you behave with your mom and dad. I always saw my parents take care of grandpa and grandma until the end of their lives. I realize that my parents are very grateful, and I aim to do so. Anyway, it doesn’t mean that I have to leave my dreams behind because I can do them both at the same time. I just have to be concerned about the factors which come up at the time, then I can decide for the best solutions for everyone.

I don’t know if you guys have different opinions because the differences of society, but being grateful is very important in our culture. Therefore, I feel so sad about this story. Actually, I really don’t want my friend to regret if she won’t have any chance to be a good girl of her dad anymore.

Finally, my friend will go back to see her father after new year. I hope her father get well soon and be happy to see her. :D

Go reach my goals!!!!!!

About Me!! 1 Comment

Along the way from New Hampshire to NYC, I’ve heard a song, and I felt like I had to do something to go through all obstacles (including my thought) in order to reach my dreams. OMG!! Why did I let my time pass this much?? That’s what I asked myself at the first time I heard this song. It sounds stupid, doesn’t it? Anyway, I never regret for whatever I did. As my dad said “time never returns,” I realize that’s true. And I’ve got many details while time passed by. I’m stronger, more independent, and busier. Moreover, I understand life and people better in the real situations. I post this lyric just because I want to remind myself to go straight to my dreams as soon as possible.

.. Someone’s watching over me ..

Found myself today
Oh I found myself and ran away
Something pulled me back
The voice of reason I forgot I had
All I know is you’re not here to say
What you always used to say
But it’s written in the sky tonight

So I won’t give up
No I won’t break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even if it all goes wrong
When I’m standing in the dark I’ll still believe
Someone’s watching over me

Seen that ray of light
And it’s shining on my destiny
Shining all the time
And I wont be afraid
To follow everywhere it’s taking me
All I know is yesterday is gone
And right now I belong
To this moment to my dreams

So I won’t give up
No I won’t break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even if it all goes wrong
When I’m standing in the dark I’ll still believe
Someone’s watching over me

It doesn’t matter what people say
And it doesn’t matter how long it takes
Believe in yourself and you’ll fly high
And it only matters how true you are
Be true to yourself and follow your heart

So I won’t give up
No I won’t break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even if it all goes wrong
When I’m standing in the dark I’ll still believe
That I won’t give up
No I won’t break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even when it all goes wrong
When I’m standing in the dark I’ll still believe
That someone’s watching over
Someone’s watching over
Someone’s watching over me

Someone’s watching over me :)

(Hilary Duff)

 

Is this song really nice? I fell in love with this song immediately. Remember that people who love you will be with you anytime. Believe in yourself and do your best, then you’ll get what you want.
