Day 46: Sugary Pink!

If you thought my phone was sugary cute before, well, now it's super sugary cute! 

I bought a matching matte screen protector with the phone case. The case and cover are both from Korea. I'm glad the Galaxy S3 is a popular phone in Korea, because at least I can get some cute accessories for it! I'm in love with these cases, and by "love" I mean, borderline 'obsessed'. I just think the colors are really unique. Even though this is 'pink', I haven't seen any other S3 case in this sugary shade of pink. Plus, finding a full colored screen protector is hard to find. And it's matte! I had a matte screen protector before but it was too big and would be in the way of the cover. But since this one in particular was made to go along with the case, it fits perfectly! I even managed to get it on perfectly aligned! I bought a 3 pack of matte screen protectors before from ebay, that was like $1.50. I used up all of them because it took me 3 tries to get it right =___=, only to have it all f*cked up anyway. This one is perfect. Easy to put on, and very easy to make sure it's well aligned. 

And yes, pastel green nails to keep the cuteness going. I don't know how I'm such a girly girl with my tomboy persona and attitude, but some things in life are just meant to be cute and I 100% embrace that.

Day 40: Customized

I've had my S3 for a week now and I have to say, at first it was weird getting used to the size difference, but it definitely grew on me quickly. I'm a little obsessed with customization and spend hours just trying to make my phone look how I want it to. I'm pretty pleased with how it looks so far, although I'm not a huge fan of the interface of the lock screen. I hate using lock screen apps though, since they tend to glitch sometimes. If I can get the icons on the lock screen to match my home screen icons, I'll be pretty damn satisfied.

Speaking of 'customizing', I've spent the last four hours or so trying to customize my blog layout. 

GOOD LORD I WANNA KILL MYSELF. 

I am not a web designer.......and I should really learn web designing because this shiet be ridiculous. It takes me so long to do such little things. I mean, honestly, its not like my blog layout is anything dynamic. I'm actually a bit OCD when it comes to customizing. I wanted my blog to look as simple as possible because it's a photo blog. But 'simple' shouldn't mean 'boring' either, so I tend to re-tweak things over and over and over again until I feel like I'm somewhat satisfied with it. To be honest, I'm never satisfied and my layout will always be changing. I guess I also get some twisted sense of satisfaction doing this. Oh digital vanity, you will be the death of me.

Day 33: Helloooo Galaxy S3

Today I got my new phone, FINALLY. HALLELUJAH. I mean, I couldn't stand another day with my old phone. It was 'that' bad. I can't even begin to explain all the things that were wrong with my shitty phone. It would drop calls all the time. Texts would not go through. Calls wouldn't go through. Wireless would pop up and screw up my data connection. Everything was slow as hell. And that's just tip of the iceberg. Switching from my old phone to my new one, felt like I was switching from 56K to DSL. My God. 

I was actually really set on waiting for the Galaxy S4 to come out (since the S3 came out last year) but I thought really hard about it (and became impatient....) and I wasn't sure if I wanted to pay $250 for a new phone, ONLY because the S3 is JUST AS GOOD. The S4 has all the shiny bells and whistles of a "new" phone, but to be honest, S3 really set things off for Samsung. I used to have the Galaxy S 4G before I downgraded my phone because I switched from T-Mobile to Verizon. I had to sell my phone obviously, since Verizon doesn't use sim cards. And I absolutely LOVED that phone. I thought the Galaxy S was amazing! The camera quality was superb. It was fast. AND I had fake 4G (since at the time, they didn't have "real" 4G speeds yet). Then I downgraded to the HTC Rhyme which is really just the dumbest "smart" phone I've ever used, with 3G that barely hit 2G's. I was almost certain I was going to get the S4, just because I figured, well, if the new phone is coming out and I'm stuck with it for the next two years, I might as well just wait for the new phone to come out. Then I found out about a deal that Newegg was offering for phone upgrades, and the Galaxy S3 was $30! I mean, cmon. That's a STEAL. So I took the bait. I don't regret it. I'm not some super tech freak where I have to have the latest and greatest new thing, even if it is enticing. The biggest factor remains that S3 is a good phone that will shine for the next couple of years, even if it is a year old. 

The Galaxy S4 is like the iPhone 5 for Android users. iPhone 4 is what really changed the game. They completely redesigned it and made it something really worthwhile to wait for. But the iPhone 5 is not that big of an upgrade. It's bigger, does a little more stuff, but it isn't an intuitive upgrade from the outstanding release of the iPhone 4 (I guess 4s is a better comparison). I feel like that's why I chose to stick with the older Galaxy S3 instead of waiting and paying 4x's more for the S4. If it was a far more major upgrade, I probably would've gone for it. So far, I love it the S3. I've played around with my friends phone so I already knew what I was in for. Honestly, anything is better than my old phone. The only thing I don't like about it? It's a little too big for my tastes. But it's actually lighter than my old phone, and I can appreciate that. 

 

Day 17: Tea & Texting

Today I found out I didn't get a job for a position I was really anticipating for. SONOFABITCH.
I'm so mad. Still mad actually.

Anyway, to calm my nerves, I drank some tea and sent angry texts to my friends about it. !@#$%^& 

Oh well. C'est la vie they say.
