Down Time.

I'm down with the flu and I wasn't able to get up this morning for my classes because I was feeling really sick. These late nights-early mornings sleeping habits (which continued even when I served last weekend in BLD Youth Ministry's Youth Encounter weekend, separate post, I promise) are taking a toll on me. Add to that the uhm, weather. See, even I can't think of an adjective for the weather that we've been experiencing for some time now. I'm really not that sickly, but when I do catch something, it just screws up my entire system. Anyway, I'm just so glad that I have no exams and major papers to do and submit this week so that means I can rest. And by resting, I mean having a White Collar marathon. Definitely number 2 on my list of series; the number 1 spot goes to Suits, of course. 

Evidently, this post has no central theme and yes, I'm bored, thus the creation of this post. But hey, I guess being sick and bored has got some upside, too. My study table was a mess because I've been studying for the last two weeks for exams, which by the way, I think I did great good in, I decided to rehabilitate it and try and make it less cluttered. And as of typing this, the table's still organized so yeah, that's more than an hour of being organized! I'm getting good at this cleaning thing! Here's what it looks like right now.

I did not dare take a photo of what it looked like before I cleaned it so as to save myself from shame and you guys from eye sore. Anyway, again, I'm cooking up a giveaway for February so y'all better check out the blog for mechanics. I'm also gonna be releasing three covers in the coming month so please check out my Soundcloud and my YouTube channel. I'm gonna go back to resting now. Season 2 Episode 2.

Vans Waffle Sole iPhone 4/4S Case

Aaand I'm back! I got caught up with tons of things these past few days months, thus the hiatus. Summer 2012 ain't that good, too, since I haven't had time to go away from the hometown because of summer class, service for BLD Youth Ministry's YLSS, getting fit and this other thing which I can't really talk about here, or anywhere, for that matter. Ha ha! Anyway, let me make it up to you by posting about this recent purchase I made.

Called up Vans Off The Wall's store in ATC to reserve me a piece since these cases are selling like waffles, I mean pancakes! Got the chance to drop by the store earlier and I've been using it since this afternoon. The case is made of Van's new flexible rubber and is a replica of their famous Waffle Sole series. It added a bit of thickness to the iPhone but it's something that you'd get used to easily. 

I'm really digging the look and feel of my iPhone right now! If you wanna cop a case (or two), drop by any Vans Off The Wall concept stores right away since these cases are only available for a limited time only. Priced at PhP 1,198.00, the Vans Waffle Sole case is definitely one of the best-looking iPhone cases in the under PhP 1,500.00 category.

Touch Screen Woes.

Apple iPhone 4 featuring my "Happy Songs" playlist. LOL

No, this ain't a rant about the Apple iPhone 4. I haven't found a single thing to complain about it and I've loved every moment of using it ever since I got it four months ago. A few minutes after its purchase, I got it a matte screen protector and it's precious glass screen has been clothed ever since.

Until it started to have air spaces aka bubbles on several places. I'm not normally OC but earlier today, I saw that there were a lot of air spaces already and I tried to get rid of them by slowly lifting the screen protector and gently placing it back by letting it go down with the support of a finger. Yes, I imagined I was mounting a fresh cut sample on a slide with Canada balsam. But this technique I learned from years of mounting slides evidently did not work on a plastic screen protector and a glass screen; it actually did more harm 'cause a number of air spaces became visible. I got a little pissed and I decided to remove the screen protector altogether.

My iPhone feels so bare now. In a weird way, I feel like I'm molesting it. And I don't like that. Ha ha. I'll be getting a set of new protectors tomorrow and hopefully, I can find something that's again in matte because I'm not really fond of those "crystal" screen protectors. Oh, and I hope I can find one that's not too expensive.

The photo above shows the iPhone 4 with the matte screen protector. See the little "off" part on the mid-left hand side of the screen? That's the little devil which started the air space infestation.
