- buying apple products can be a grueling whole day event (except for those who pre-ordered and their apple was served on a silver platter, was it? i hope your package was not thrown like a flying saucer by the UPS guy)
- i said, i wont rush buying the new iPhone 4 and just wait till August, but when I say I'm not buying, I am actually buying.
- June 24, I didnt pre-order but i still tried my best of getting one. I called every Apple Store (even the one 473 miles away from me - hahaha) and every store was sold out. i was just trying to push my luck but no luck
- June 29, its ATT iphone 4 launch day. at 7pm, i drove straight to a nearby AT&T store, without taking shower and not even brushing my teeth (lol). i just wanna gauge the line if its short or long. fortunately, twas kinda short like an hour wait (compared to 1 day wait on the initial launch day).
-i went back home and prepared to fall in line, when i came back to the capitol expressway branch, line was shorter. my hopes were high. but it was crushed after 5 minutes when one staff said they are already sold out. then i called the story road branch and the staff said they have stock. i was like number 30 in line and after 5 minutes, they said that they only have 5 iphones left. damn! why is this iphone 4 so elusive!.
-then i called another branch at the blossom hill and they said they do have stock. i went there and out of all 3 branches, they have the shortest line. one guy even said, "how come there are no people?" - are you kidding me, if you want to wait longer you shouldve waited on the initial launch day. and the staff said there are only 10 iphone 32gigs left and no more 16 gigs.
- out of like 12 people in line, only 4 of us is gonna buy the 32 gigs and the rest 16gb. after 10 minutes of waiting, finally
- taddaa!!!
- of course, getting the gadget is only half of the grueling task. now I have to find an accessory. been running around apple stores here at the south bay and all are sold out. most AT&T's are sold out too. but i was able to find one. its the Incio's silicrylic case. it is a combination of soft silicon case and a hard acrylic case.
comes with two silicon case and one acrylic back case
- i almost grovel because of tiredness (not really, im just exagerating ) but its all worth it when you get what you want and so far im really liking my new toy. the retina display almost makes the images pops out. for sure, like its predecessors, im gonna love this phone. iphone is the number 1 for me after all

My Life 30 years from now...
I was organizing my External Hard Drive and found this document.
I wrote this journal way back in September 2008. I think this was the time that I felt my life don't have any direction and I was tired of the monotony. So I've read, If you want change in your life, you have to write your short term and long term goals and here is what I came up.
My Life 50 years from now….
There comes a point in life where everything seems POINTLESS…pointless meaning you feel tired of what is happening in your life…and that is NOTHING. Everything seems stagnant and you just want to change every aspect of it coz you don’t feel happy anymore. Hoping to ameliorate quality of life and living at your full potential.
Change is not easy but taken one step at a time, it is attainable. You are your own steward.
The FIRST STEP…SET Goals and TIME Frame of what you want to achieve.
1year from now…
• Enroll to a junior college (not sure which college yet) and finish some pre-requisites.
2 years from now
• Buy a house and make a profit out of it. I love Santa Clara County but I wanted to explore other places. I’m looking at Sacramento, San Diego, Los Angeles.
• Hopefully I’m in Associates Degree in Nursing program
3 years from now
• Finished my Associates Degree In Nursing with a grade of B (A is licious but its hard to achieve that, C is honorable in a nursing degree so its ok too)
6 years from now
• Get my Bachelors Degree in Nursing
10 years from now
• Get a Masteral Degree in Nursing so I can teach when I retire.
15 years from now
• I hope I’ve established a business in my earlier years and going stronger
• I might go dot a medical school and become a doctor.
33 years from now
• I’ll be 60 at this time and on my retirement years but I’d still probably want to work until I can
• If I’m not practicing then I want to teach here in USA or in the Philippines
Of course vacation in between years, travel the world and have my own loving family. I’m blessed with a wonderful love life and could not ask for more. So let see if things Happen the way I wanted it to be. We’ll I’ve already taken the first step today which is attending the NURSING Workshop at Evergreen Valley College. Everything is not yet lucid from here but at least I took a step to make a CHANGE.
STOP Do Not Read…Its Just my Journal and little notes for myself…but if you want to then just go on…
