The iPhone White is Here !

The iPhone 4 , white version is finally out after 10 months of delay. It turns out that it's not only late, but also thicker than the black iPhone. I don't know why it took such a long time to release the white one, and I honestly find it to be useless to be release at this time, because everyone would want to wait for the iPhone 5 to be released, which is supposed to be within the next few months. Its very weird that apple website doesn't say anything about the size difference. I found out that there is a difference through Ryan Cash's blog site (http://ryancash.net), who posted comparison shots of the two models. He didn't measure the devices, but the difference is noticeable with the naked eye.I have no idea why Apple does not mention nor explain the reason for the thickness of the white phone, i hope they do so soon. So for now, for all those who are interested in the white iPhone and wont  use a case for their white iPhone 4 should have no problems with the extra thickness, but if you plan on buying a case for your shiny new white iPhone 4, it would be best to check if it fits first.

Kate Middleton's Second Royal Wedding Dress for Reception

Kate who will now officially be known as the Duchess of Cambridge, wore another gorgeous Sarah Buton for Alexander McQueen gown, while William traded his military uniform with a black tuxedo. Its not uncommon for the bride and groom to change into something more comfortable, so I don't think anyone was really surprised by it. 

I loved the simplicity of Kate's second wedding dress, she really looked stunning. Kate Middleton shined and dazzled at the wedding reception with the strapless white satin gown shown above. The dress has a subtle and simple cleavage and a gorgeous diamante detailing around the waist. Her gown has a little bit of a modern touch and emphasized by small details. She matched her second dress of the day with a simple white shrug that kept her warm for the night.



Congratulations !!!

Easter Eggs

<< My face Easter eggs for this year >>

For years we have been decorating Easter eggs in solid vibrant colors with store-bought egg dye, food coloring dye, natural dye (ex: vinegar, beets, etc.), or the colorful art tissue paper found in art supply and craft stores. Easter egg decoration was always fun, but time and money consuming as well. Since this year round, i didn't have the time to run to the stores to buy the dying kit or make it naturally, i decided to use a different technique. I made face eggs by adding features such as mouth, nose, and eyes simply by using permanent markers that i had at home. Everyone loved it when they came over, and fought on which face egg they wanted to use and play with. I have to say, i loved how the Easter eggs turned out as well, it came out more creative, unique looking, less costly , much faster and enjoyable process. All in all , sometimes not using the traditional methods of thins turns out to be a more benefit able to the person.

Rumor ?!

I heard one of my friends talking about how Paris Hilton has herpes . I jumped into her conversation and asked her , how do you believe automatically what the media says? Obviously there are many rumors floating around about Paris Hilton and celebrities in general and I'm sure Paris Hilton having herpes is one of them. Later that day i went and checked on that rumor and it actually turned out true. This time its not just another rumor that's floating around. I honestly feel very bad for all the celebrities that have absolutely no privacy. All their news are out and about for the public. Definitely  a sad thing, but its a consequence that comes in with "fame" i guess. 

Affordable, Luxurious, and Great Location

I just had the the chance to upload some  pictures of Cabo San Lucas trip of my spring break. I have to say the best part of the trip was the hotel we stayed in. The hotel is very nice, exceptionally clean and the staff are extremely friendly. The employees Kimmi and Cesar were top notch, they made our stay welcoming and fun. I would love to return to ME Cabo for the reason that to see them again. Rooms were clean and modern, It has a nice balcony facing the pool from where we could observe all the action for the day at the pool. The pool always had music and ambiance as well as comfortable beds. This is not the place to go for only peace and quiet. ME is a party hotel on weekends, on the other hand the pool area on the weekdays is very quiet and relaxing. On Saturdays they tend to have loud music, where everyone dances around the pool area. Also on Saturday one has to reserve beds around the pool with a minimum charge, which was totally worth paying for.We all LOVED the swim up bar and the fact that they have happy hours in the mornings. 

The view from our room-balcony 

There isn't enough words to describe how impressed i was by ME Cabo. I would definitely want to go back to Cabo and won't even think twice about staying any where else but in ME by Melia. Overall we had a great time at Me Cabo and would recommend everyone to look at ME by Melia if you are heading to Cabo San Lucas. 

For further information, here is the link to the hotel:-

Haute Cakes are more than just a bite-sized dessert. In truth, they are personalities that come to life with every bite you take. Wether you're feeling classy, sassy, or maybe even a little bossy, only a Hauttie will satisfy the real you. 

 Mocha Cake Balls , this is my personal favourite one  ! Its made by her original chocolate cake with a touch of coffee. Her homemade chocolate cake has more texture and flavor than a typical boxed mix. Its dense, fudgy and incredibly moist, which is a perfect beginning for these chocolaty treats.

A Well Living Lounge in CSUN

 

This is pretty amazing. I'm graduating this May from CSUN, and I'm still discovering new areas in the campus along with some of the services they offer that i have never seen before. I really wish I knew CSUN had this.   I remember there were many times in my past school semesters, where i had this huge gap in between classes in which i was extremely tired and was kept picturing a place to nap for as little as 2 minutes. I must say this is a one insane idea. A university that has a place for their students to release some of their stress and relax , it really must be every student's dream! So whoever is still going to be attending CSUN for next coming months, i highly suggest for you to take advantage of the amazing services the school is offering , and try to explore CSUN as much as you can ...don't just wait till your last semester to see stuff and regret not seeing it earlier.

The Right vs. The Left Brain

This is really cool !!!

((I see the dancer turning clockwise, test yourself and see what side of the brain you use.))

The Right Brain vs Left Brain test ... do you see the dancer turning clockwise or anti-clockwise?
If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and vice versa.

Most of us would see the dancer turning anti-clockwise though you can try to focus and change the direction; see if you can do it.

LEFT BRAIN FUNCTIONS
uses logic
detail oriented
facts rule
words and language
present and past
math and science
can comprehend

RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONS

A Shout Out To My CSUN Classmates !

As we all know , undergraduate students should try to get their upper division writing proficiency examination (UDPWE) when you're between 56-75 units in order for one to graduate. Today professor Brown Lee told us that the school has decided to put a hold on students' fall 2011 registration if they are at 75 units mark and haven't taken the exam yet. This is serious for many of the students who don't know this information, and who cant afford to be held back for registration nor graduation. 


Thought I should let you guys know  !

Reason Why Wedding Rings Are Worn On The Fourth Finger

This is an interesting insight of why the wedding ring is on the 4^th finger. I tried this, and I really wasn’t able to separate my fourth fingers from each other.  Also others have told me, that the reason one wears the ring on his/her fourth finger of the left hand, is because that finger has a vein that goes all the way up to the arm and connects to the heart. Coincidentally, the heart happens to be a little more to the left side of you chest, hence the left the ring worn on the left hand.  I am not hundred percent accurate of this information, but the idea, reasoning and the subject itself is pretty interesting.  All in all this video is an eye-opening subject matter for me, since I never thought about fingers as symbols until I watched this video.

My Graduation Ring is Here

During the Grad Fest last month i went to one of the vendors and ordered the graduation ring. I received the ring today in the mail, and I am extremely happy with it. I think i made a mistake by ordering the red stone, I wish I ordered the blue one instead, but overall I'm happy about it. I love how I was able to engrave my name and the graduation date in the inner side of the ring. I was also able to write on the sides of the ring. On one side I wrote class of 2011 , and on the other side I wrote B.A. Communication Studies. It turned out great, now I got to wait for the actual graduation ceremony :)

Power Outage Caused by a Rat !

According to Fox News, the power went out in Arizona State University's Tempe campus. because of some rat that ran across some power supplies that burned out switches in a campus substation. On April 11th many classes were canceled, some students were stuck in elevators and fireman had to carry a 350 pound graduate student and his wheelchair up the stairs of the university, after the student had to waited for approximately three and half hours for the elevator to work.
This is some strange story. Who thought that there would ever be a power outage of campus buildings, because of a rat! It's crazy how everything is interconnected. we really do live in a system nature, and that is exactly why this power outage occurred in the first place; this is exactly what we call "butterfly effect". Everything is systematized in this world. Chaos should be expected at anytime, because evidently if one tiny change or event at one place in a complex system van have large effects elsewhere or even result in significantly different outcome.
