They're like, Peas in a Pod.

This is going to be a short entry, but Toy Story 3 came out with a new toy, and it is by far the cutest toy ever!


They're three peas in a pod, and they come in a pencil case-like felt container. The coolest part however, would be they actually fully come out! When I first realized Disney was selling them, all  the stores that was within driving distance was sold out. I was bummed out until my friend bought two for us (me and my boyfriend!) Haha, just too cool to not share about it. Anyways, going to go juggle them now!

The Angels Have Landed

The Angels have landed at Eaton Centre today for the opening of the new Victoria's Secret, and it was a BIG DEAL! Why? Well not that I experienced it for myself, but apparently they actually had helicopters land on the roof of Eaton Centre. Too bad I missed it. But it was such a big deal, that this happened:

There were actually a crowd watching the crowd LOL But since the tote bag is supposed to be limited edition I had to get it haha too bad I'm not really into the plastic material though. Here are pictures of it, the bow is actually pretty cute though...

In the tote bag, it actually came with free samples of things, a lipgloss, a thong (again, just like in the tote bag that we got when lining up to go into the store), body spray (which iw as about to buy) and this body lotion that I didn't really even like the scent of...

More beauty stuff I got. I rather not go into the lingerie stuff I got, but these are the items I got that are not underwear stuff:



Also, apparently if you qualified to get the tote bag, you also qualified to take a picture with one of the two "angels" that landed. Too bad you have to wait in line again. I was in my heels today that were killing me and giving me blisters, as well, I didn't have the patience to wait until 5 o'clock so I gave up on that. Oh well, too bad. Maybe I can be an angel one day... haha, yea right.

Update on website

As it turns out, the pages of my agenda were sticking together and the storyboard deadline is actually one more week away! You have no idea how relieved I am, there was no way any of that would have been finished in time. Anyways, so I have the main character/ mascot for my site basically complete, although i always can make some more refinements...

Here is a sneak peak :)




This is actually cut out from one of my pages that I have so far. Where, I would not say now, but when it is finished you shall all see :) I have the basic template setup already, but there are still some minor details here and there to be fixed and figured out. My main final intention however, is after that is done with, to incorporate that site with this blog... somehow... We'll see how that goes.

It's been an extremely extremely long week. Two midterms and superlong classes. I'm glad this week is over. And in case anyone is wondering, yes, my week ends on Thursday nights haha. And please don't go hatin' because I do work my ass off on Fridays at home too, just no commute time need. Thank goodness for that.

On a side note however, I have a question. Does iMovie not have a recording function, or does it just for some reason not detect my webcam? When I have more braincells/brainpower I will try to figure that out. When I do, it's gonna be a treat for sure!

Bean Website

Once again I am in the place of designing/ laying out the storyboard for the new site. It has proved to be a pain in the butt. I think my problem is just over thinking.

I hate design: when thinking too much is a crime!

And having said that, I have a literary research methods exam in a few hours.
Now I have to put my thinking cap back on... see you all on the other side!

I Don't Get it!

Say Cheee....What?

As you can all see from the title of my blog... I am downright puzzled. About what?

Well to start from the beginning, I was browsing Facebook like any other day, and I stumbled onto Jon from TechWaffle's status update about not liking Symbian. So I thought, "Oh, that's interesting, let me google it!" I have had a Nokia in the past, and I was just curious as to what it is. At first I thought it was pretty interesting, and their homepage was nicely designed, I love the whole combining real life photography/videos with illustration thing. However,  when I started to watch Nokia's promotional videos as well as some reviews on the N8, I got somewhat confused, and I just hd to share my confusion or maybe someone can tell me if I'm missing a major point here.

First of all, one of the first things I saw being reviewed was the ability to change the wallpaper to any photos you like or have on your phone. Self explanatory, but HUH?! How on earth is that an innovation, so much that they even have to review it? Is it not, by this day an age expected  that you can change your wallpaper? Second of all, when they talked about the customizable homescreen, they were saying it like WOW CUSTOMIZABLE HOMESCREEN NOW AVAILABLE! Have people stuck their head in a hole and not come out in a while, because this is not really considered an innovation, at least I would not think so. As well, the whole wow-factor of widgets, and how the reviewer just said that users are no longer able to just add widgets, they can now rearrange it!!!

Although, to give it a benefit of a doubt, I did stop watching the YouTube review after around three minutes, but if there is anyone out there that actually watched the whole thing, maybe you can prove me wrong by telling me there was something actually interesting to watch.

The only thing I thought was interesting, was the ability for transparency amongst their "layers" and how different applications can appear on the screen at the same time, even through conference calls. But then again, why would you (not on a testing its limits sense) use video conferencing, watch a soccer game, and want your music playlist visible at the same time?

Seriously...

Oh, and on a sidenote, if anyone wants to actually watch the review I was referencing to:
