I just want to note this down so that when I read though my thought in the future I will know how much I’ve been blessed by God and how he has given me so much in my life.

I want to thank God during this time for

1. My friends and family (they are still around)
2. A stable job and a good company who is willing to take care of me
3. My interests in gadgets, and some part time writing which helps me cover some of my “gadget” expenses

I think it’s about time I’ve started to journal my life and give more meaning to the people and things around me. I’ve been really negative and I think it has to do with myself and how I’ve led my life. I know that I’m not perfect and I’ve been strayed. Perhaps it’s time to give life some though and care for people around me. I’m self-centered and I’ll crack a joke or two but I’m very much want to be in control of my time, not that’s it’s not a good thing but perhaps spiritual intervention would help a lot to iron out the kinks in my life. Well hope this will be for the better.

1. Beautifully rendered battle sequences (real time rendering glory)
2. Monsters! Can’t get enough to slicing and dicing em up in close combat (think Ninja Gaiden II)
3. Action button interactivity during video sequences (trains my ninja reflexes)
4. I can now throw shurikens and draw my ninja weapons 1,000 times faster with my Xbox 360 controller then in real life (at least without hurting myself)
5. Ninja vision! (hums to song - I can see clearly now) With this new Ninja skill, now the weak spots of bosses are easily spotted (no more unecassary deaths guessing). One step closer to becoming a Ninja

How pain can that be?

Seriously, quite hard, considering that I been on the Apple MacOSX platform for the last 2 1/2 years. I have kind of become accustomed to the interface, shortcuts and various other little touches which make the Mac quite comfortable to use.

Windows users would find a little trouble getting used to the setup, especially where the windows key stands, now is a "apple" option key. Alt + F4 no longer closes a window but "apple" + Q does.

Oh did I mention, my MacBook Pro of 2 years 4 months is no longer with me, I’ve sold it off to get the new MacBook Pro, Although I disagree with the Glossy only option available.

Pray everything goes well, if so I should see my new MacBook Pro in about a weeks time.

Got to make some new friends at Nokia Zone, it was a pretty interesting time for me as we go to interact with some of the Nokia staff over lunch while at the same time feed my need for new gadgets.

Just recently I’ve been toying with some of the social media sites available, and it’s turning out to be pretty interesting. Seeing how people interact and communicate with each other, social media opens up an whole new experience for online users, blogs were nice, but I guess social media gives "real time" experience sharing increasing interactions between users.

Anyway will touch on that another time. Till Nokia zone is active again, I hope to be more disciplined to share my experiences here.

Signing off

SerSiTiv

Hmm… I’m excited, a friend told me about a job opening. I wonder if I should send in my resume on this position. It’s an exciting job with a very very exciting company. I’m kind of wondering if this would be a good decision to make. Jumping from my current position to take on a project management role. Hmm… What to do? Someone please let me know.

Yeah this should be quite old news but I’m still with Nokia zone doing up some blogging on mobile devices.

Well lets just say the incentives include testing and playing with the latest handsets from Nokia.

So far I’ve tried the E90, N82, N95 8GB, N78, 6210 Navigator and am currently holding on to the Nokia N96.

So check out my stint at Nokia Zone.

I wonder if I should keep sersitiv.com as a tech site? Perhaps a spin off would be a better idea. Time to go to the drawing board, perhaps a revamp is in the works.

Doing a post using Windows Live Writer, it’s a separate program from the typical writers you get in your web browser, with a more Windows Live interface. I think this is quite a cool application for blogging as it makes things easier. Imagine Microsoft Word meets blogging. Those interested can try it out, just download live messenger and include Microsoft Writer as an add in. BTW this was done totally in Live Writer.

Nice?

I know it’s time for me to lose some weight, took a look at some pictures which were taken of me some time back and I realised that I indeed had sharper features as compared to this round face. I think it’s about time that I did something.

Strict diets are quite hard considering where I am, working environments are the worst as it “forces” you to engage in nice meals together with colleagues, but I do have to say that I lack discipline when it comes to such issues. I guess it’s all about finding ways and means to do it, exercise is only effective with proper diets. It’s time to go western, wake up early to prepare that sumptious meal, full of good nutrients and keeping me from snacking.

You know everyone says that you just need about 6 hours of sleep to feel energized and recharged to face the day. But I do not feel so, and I think sleep as important as it is must be done right. I just feel so tired every single day now, of course this stems from the stress accumulated from work and other thoughts racing around my mind.

Some times I wonder how will I be able to sleep better? Sleeping pills? Better bed? Food eaten before sleep? I guess a little prayer and meditation would be good food for the soul and would be a good answer for me to put my worries of the day to rest. Well as they say, tomorrow will be a better day. Till then, sleep well and enjoy your day. YAWNS~~~~

Today I was in for a shock as I steped in the office, opened my Mac and pulled out my trusty Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 and turned it on. It did not detect! Oh my what happed I thought.

Turned out that the batteries, which came with my mouse have finally decided to give up on my and I had a hard time this morning locating batteries. I tried 7-11 and guess what? They were exhorbitantly priced bars of power. So I came back and tried a stationary shop located at level 2 of my office, $3.60 for a pack of 4. I guess that had to do since it’s the cheapest I could find.

Now my mouse if back and probably happy that way or not since I would be click away on it. Moral of the story, keep some spare batteries in the office, you never know when it would come in handy.

BTW, the mouse batteries latested quite a while before dying, I think it’s quite efficient a mouse wonder if I should still consider getting the Mighty Mouse Wireless ($90). Must resist!

I was waiting for the 105 service today, my iPod playing my tunes and putting it in repeat I think the song played for at least 10 times before the bus arrived.

Lo and behold not 1 but 3 buses and that was after 45 min of wait! I mean what the heck? Why would 3 buses turn up at the same time? Boarded the last bus which gave me some seating space, well talk about world class transportation service. Bah!

105 takes a long time to come but tonite was rediculous, I was so tired just waiting for the bus and I’m still puzzeled why all the buses turned up at the same time? Anyone care to shed some light?

Was checking my Google analytics and guess what? I did not have visitors on the 9th if June, which incidentally  is my birthday.  Hahaha, but it was great this year many people remembered and especially when those that remember are the ones who love you

Back to the report… Do let me know how you would like your Birthday, perhaps I could compile a list of things so that it would be less of a headache when your friends want to find out what to do during that special day.

Yeah that’s the feeling I have right now, I’m not sure what am I doing and what the heck I’m typing everyday. Writing the story of someone else is not easy and to make it award winning is even harder then I would have expected it to be. There are just too many things which I would have to do and I’m kind of stress and it’s not good for writing well.

Stress != Good Writer

Now remember that people the above statement is very important, if you want to write well you need to have a clear mind and that is what is needed to ensure that you thoughts are coherent and good. How I wish I could reach into my brain and clear the clutter that has formed up, the expectations and all the uncertainty. Sigh, I think prayer does help in some ways, perhaps a break away from this madness to seek solitude and rest would be the best for me now.

I hope this lasts for a week. If not I’ll probably stone once again, when people are around I need to find the energy to push through the day. When people are not I’ll just sit and find some way to have fun, oh work and the insecurities of the future are bogging me down.

How? I’m not doing the stuff that I want to do in life… YET.

One more day, new set of issues, new visions and new goals. Life can just be so melancholic.

It’s been a crazy few weeks for me. I think the reason being I’m being left to fend for myself and make decisions and be responsible for my actions as how it would indirectly affect the company I am working for and at the same time my reputation.

I do feel the lack of experience and the need for me to catch up with what the company is doing is a constant struggle. I always feel that need to leave everything and run away to somewhere, some place where I can take rest. I definitely know it’s not possible to find peace by myself but sometimes I just feel so inadequate to face up to God.

I feel the need to escape and run away, I’m feeling down and out. I just need to press on, one step at a time.
