It's nice, sleek and definitely enjoyable.
But don't know if it is useful for business purpose at all.
I've used it less than a day, but found many improvements that I wish it could make now. (I mean, "NOW")

Here are some points that I don't like in this device.

1. Touch screen keyboard - very hard to type fast and right.
2. Where there are no Wi-Fi, connection is SO slow (by EDGE)
3. For people who handles multiple email addresses like I do - it is not useful.
4. Can't do "Cut & Paste" - annoying.
5. There are no "search" tool for the device.

However, there are many things that I cannot help being wowed.
I'm gonna give it a try for about a week, then will decide if I should go back to my blackberry or not.
Let's see..

Re: M.A.C. Limited Edition “UNTAMED”

M.A.C. Cosmetics revealed this fall limited editions of make-up items "UNTAMED".

Gorgeous colours of pinks, beiges and plums feathers onto eyes, lips and cheeks. All the product sparkles the natural beauty of women.

Costumed models added the wild spirit into the reception party, and it definitely linked to the theme of the collection.

Re: ZAHA HADID

ZAHA HADID, one of the most greatest architect in the world; her exhibition is being held at Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum now.

Born in Baghdad, Iraq, she has degrees in Mathematics and Architecture. Her works has great influence in numbers/digits as well, in my opinion.
Not literarry, but somehow internally she adds the elements to her works.

She is known for breaking the boundaries in architecture and urban designs.
Her works navigate us to the most amazing architectural, three-dimentional experience in the exhibition.

I see Graffiti in her works too, especially in her paintings.

She is also known for her hi-profile interior works and product designs.

Lights that changes the hues about every 30 seconds.

Stools that reminded me of "Origami" because of its shape.

DSC03379.jpg

And, this is the ZAHA HADID designed, futuristic car.
For this, I'd get my licence, for sure.

And the kitchen : How cool...

DSC03385.jpg

It was quite an experience to see the exhibition.
I've got so much inspiration that I could not even talk when I left the museum.

It will be held until October at this elegant Guggenheim Museum.

Re: Hunt for Bling
Here are my current favorite BLING's.

1. Bijules by fabulous Jules!

bijules.jpg

it covers 4 fingers horizontaly. so beautiful!
And yes, it goes for unisex.

Jules is one of my friend, whom I respect so much in so many ways.
She is beautiful, so stylish, fun, and talented. I love her lifestyle (how she livin' is the coolest thing), and her jewelry that is totally insanely inspired by it!

2. Pnut Jewelry by Rusty Pistachio from H2O!

pnut.jpg

I have this cute charm bracelet and a ring that has engraved letters of "REMEMBER" (never forget each day and moment!). Hardcore/Punk band H2O's guitarist, Rusty Pistachio is the designer. As some of you have noticed, the name of the line "PNUT" is inspired from his lastname, "Pistachio".

Green Day, Good Charlotte, Axl (Yes, that Axl), Rancid, Sick of It All, AFI, ... list goes on. That's all his clients.

Jacob the Jeweler for Hip Hop, and PNUT for Rock'n Roll!
