Youtube

My friend, N, just bought a new camera. It is a semi-pro camera and she did not make full use of the functions because it is very complicated (and the manual book is very thick). So another friend of mine, D, told us that if you want to know more about cameras, the easiest thing to do is to check it out on Youtube.

Well, D is probably right. This is because I also use Youtube to check out the make-up tips. I find it easy to follow since I can see exactly how I should apply and use the the stuff.

Google is lucky to have Youtube and I am pretty sure that Google does not lose much if others go for Youtube instead of the Google search engine.

e-brary

I am not sure if others have ever used e-brary. I personally hate it. I could not download the book as pdf file or something along that line because of the copyright issue.

I know it is an online library but my head would turn upside down after HOURS of retrieving the pages from the book. I could use the time to do other stuff or simply borrow the same book at the library and read it on my bed. Too bad, the book is not available in the library.

I know that I claim myself as an internet junkie but e-brary is just not my thing.

The word "Gay"

According to Urban Dictionary, Gay refers to homosexual men or women.

However, my parents think that being "pundan" (a transvestite) also means one is being gay.

I find it hard to explain to them that being gay does not mean that one has to be a "pundan". Even a real man could become gay. This issue came about when I told them that there is an article on gay phenomenon in Brunei and the study was done by UBD lecturers.

the power of internet

Golden Globe Awards started at 8am this morning (Brunei Time) and I could not watch it LIVE because my class starts at 9am.

However, with the power of internet, I found out that Jim Parson wins the best actor (TV series comedy/musical) and Toy Story 3 wins the best animated film.

I am also a fan of Red Carpet News and I found out that that Megan Fox wears pink and Angelina Jolie wears green.

These information are all retrieved from Twitter. isn't that cool?

e-comm.

I have been studying in this university for four years and this is the first time that I have a proper academic group in the infamous online social networkings: Facebook. I have seen a number of groups from other courses and I am happy that now I am part of it.

Also, blogging! It has been years since I last blogged and this course requires me to start blogging again and here I am. hopefully this blog would not end up as my venting place.

We are to present our overall internet usage for this weekend and though the week has not ended, I can conclude that I am an internet junkie. I did not realise that until I have finished counting the number of hours I have spent. So this course makes me realise how much time I have wasted on the internet. I have spent most of my time on Twitter and useless websites like staring at designer’s bags (which are on sale). I will talk more on that tomorrow (in class).
