Upgrade(s)

Tuesday, December 16th, 2008

Upgraded my WordPress to 2.7 the other day, and what I must say is that it is a lot easier to navigate. I love the new changes they have done to the dashboard. It’s perfect :)

Upgrade #2 – I really want to upgrade my current BlackBerry Pearl to the new BlackBerry Storm. My only dilemma is that I still have a contract with my current provider, and I would have to pay the total phone price. Which is $599. Way overpriced for my liking. I’ve looked at forums to see if there is anyway to get it for cheaper, and there is one way. I would have to call client care, and basically demand that I get some sort of discount. I’ve read that some people have gotten from $50-400 credit. It all depends on luck, and if the CSR is willing to go out of their way for you. *sigh. I think it would still mean I’d have to front the entire sum though. Which I do not have right now. Ugh…. who knows

Upgrade #3 – My computer has been pissing me off lately. I always go through this with every one of my computers I’ve had in the past. They break down at the year mark. BUT thankfully my computer has made it past that. BUY MAC! .. but it doesn’t have enough memory for the all the things I do on it. I like multi-tasking, and like having everything running at once, for convenience. I find I have to “Force quit” a lot of apps, because my computer isn’t running fast enough & I wait a while for a lot of things. It’s annoying me. I’ve almost bought a new laptop through Dell… even when I thought I couldn’t bare to switch back to PC.. PC’s are cheap! So now I’ve been looking into Referb’d MacBook Pros.. You save A LOT of money. Sometimes even over a $1000… you get the same warranty too and the same option for AppleCare.

I gotta win the lottery or marry a very wealthy man. LMAO. jk… not about the lottery thing though ;) I bought my Trans-Siberian Orchestra tickets on the weekend. I managed to snag floor seats. $150! The concert is on December 26th. I am so excited and cant wait to see my dad’s reaction when I give them to him. EEEEEE! It’s killing me to keep this from him! Christmas is so close now. I can’t believe it’s only next week! December has really flown by!!! THANK GOD :)

Awake

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008

Well, it is almost 5am right now, and surprisingly I am still awake. I have been catching up with a few people on msn and updating my site. I was getting sick of my old layout, so I used another template from the same designer. She does pretty cute Word Press layouts, check her out at the bottom of the page :) My next step would be to learn how to make my own, but I don’t have the patience or time anymore to learn something new like that. I would think it would take a bit of time to.

I’ve been thinking more about my birthday plans. B-day is THIS coming up Sunday (26th). My girl Melissa made an event on Facebook for this Saturday. We are planning on doing a downtown Toronto night, and stay at a hotel. Just so we don’t have to find someone to be the DD for the night. No one ever wants to do that. We’ve invited a small group of people to come, who have all surprisingly said yes :) But one thing that makes me sad is that none of my friends, who I have been friends with since HS, will not be there. It is another guys birthday on Friday and he already made plans before me. But that’s life. You can’t always get what you want. Also, the majority of them never showed up to my celebrations last year.. so why invite them this year? Ah well.. doesn’t matter. I will have my fun regardless.

I haven’t decided where to go yet. So suggestions are open. These are some of the nightclubs that are on my list.  Circa, Republik, Rockwood, Boulevard Room, Cantina Charlies… Last year I went to Inside, and that was okay. I would like to go somewhere I would be guaranteed to have fun! I am absolutely in love with the DJ in the Skyy lounge room at Circa. He plays a mash up of Hip-Hop, Reggae and mainstream music mixed in House. It’s original and every time I’ve been, I always go back to that room. The club is huge itself (53,000 square foot, 4 stories), so there is a lot to do. Only thing that is holding me back are the prices. First it’s $20 cover w/o guestlist, and $10 mixed drinks. Is kinda steep for my (poor) group of friends and guys aren’t so willing to waste money on you there. LOL

I really wish I could be in Las Vegas for my birthday. I’ve been to every club there and let me tell you. NONE are downers, like at all. It’s so much better to party there. Ladies are treated like queens, the way it should be! :D   Oh well, maybe for next years birthday! :P
