iPodified



when my friend showed me his brand-spanking-ass-new iPod Nano today (which made me want to find a knife and slice his neck off so i can runaway with his new toy... okay maybe not), i remember me being all excited and perky whe i first got my 60GB iPod Photo 4 months ago. i remember the following weeks when my dietary meals consisted of either instant noodles, kraft diner, or under-four-bucks frozen food to compensate the hole on my wallet. sad, i know.

anyway i came across this website sometime last summer and got inspired to ipodify one of my pictures, hence the image above*. what amazed me even more was the oh-so-hilarious iBaby t-shirt i found today. soon enough the world is ruled by apple®, lemme tell ya.

* i hope i... will be blessed.

the end of summer

the martlet published its first issue of the term with an oh-so-depressing front cover. it features an illustration that shows (get this) a bunny and two people—presumably uvic students—standing on a vast orange landscape (which may or may not signifies sand dunes), gazing sombrely at a blazing yellow sunset that illuminates a bright pink sky. and then, at the bottom of the cover, across the page, is the headline: the end of summer.

yes summer has gone, and september has begun to show is its true skin with the cool morning air, juicy daylight sunshine, and chilly evening breeze. less and less people wear skirt, shorts, or sandals to school. two third of 2005 has passed by just like that. a flick of the fingers. and before i know it, i find myself battered, broke, and homeless. at least until the end of this month.

but i'm not going to rant about how tiring, time-consuming, and stressful it is to find a new place to live. or how sometimes i feel very disconnected with the virtual world and once in a while i look at my blog with disdain (hence the lack of entries). or how this summer wasn't as great as i had expected it to be. or how i have a lot of i wish scenarios in my head that are simply beyond any chance to remotely match the reality.

okay maybe i just did. but that's not the point. i'm just saying that, for better or worse, i'm facing the future, i.e. any time after this very moment, with a positive attitude (and not to mention a flinch instead of a grin). i'm scared, but at least i'm content right now.
