Investing in different assets

Once in a while I will post articles of investment, because its for me to read after and tell myself you got to do this, I am such a noob when it comes to investing? totally clueless and have not experience putting money where it should have been.

Some people say why keep your money but live for today as you will never know when you are going to leave this World for good. Well that to a certain extent cause when I think of Steve Jobs, he has all the billions and yet he never get to enjoy it, but dont go out and spend all your money and live paycheck to paycheck , that will only kill yourself as you have no reserves for an emergency. Check this article out written (more…)

Gorgeous song !

update : I just watched her singing in the X-factor live show, and I have to say her voice is buttery smooth, infact somewhat like Adele, voice control is beautiful.  You can watch her original MTV below and Glee’s version as well

Just watched  Glee Epi 8 “Choke” and there was this song that is so beautiful I just got to share, originally sung by Florence and the Machine. I am sharing both version here with you as well as the lyrics, I love both equally..Glee’s version is more upbeat but Florence owned it .

 

Regrets collect like old friends
Here to relive your darkest moments
I can see no way, I can see no way
And all of the ghouls come out to play

And every demon wants his pound of flesh
But I like to keep some things to myself
I like to keep my issues strong
It’s always darkest before the dawn

And I’ve been a fool and I’ve been blind
I can never leave the past behind
I can see no way, I can see no way
I’m always dragging that horse around

And our love is pastured such a mournful sound
Tonight I’m gonna bury that horse in the ground
So I like to keep my issues strong
But it’s always darkest before the dawn

Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah

And it’s hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh woah

I am done with my graceless heart
So tonight I’m gonna cut it out and then restart
Cause I like to keep my issues strong
It’s always darkest before the dawn
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah

And it’s hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh woah

And given half the chance would I take any of it back
It’s a fine romance but it’s left me so undone
It’s always darkest before the dawn

Oh woah, oh woah…

And I’m damned if I do and I’m damned if I don’t
So here’s to drinks in the dark at the end of my rope
And I’m ready to suffer and I’m ready to hope
It’s a shot in the dark and right at my throat
Cause looking for heaven, found the devil in me
Looking for heaven, found the devil in me
Well what the hell I’m gonna let it happen to me

Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah

And it’s hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh woah

Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah

And it’s hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh woah


Paperback or Digital Print, which is better?

I saw this new book that was raved by HBR a couple of minutes ago, the reviews for it was so darn good , I was so tempted to click on buy in Amazon, It was on offer anyway, $25.99 down to a cool $15.27.  Then the big question here came when I wanted to choose paperback or eBook.

Some pros and cons for having

Paperback

Pros

  1. Touch (tangible feel of holding and feeling the book)
  2. The smell of printed paper (not sure if this is a pro but for me it is) its like smelling new money

Cons

  1. Take up space
  2. Will have mildews after keeping for some time

Digital Print

Pros

  1. Cheaper (not sure if its cheaper)
  2. Easy on the weight, you can carry like 100 books in 1 device

Cons

  1. Might get corrupted
  2. Your reader might run out of juice
  3. You have to buy a reader before you can start reading. $$$

So What would you choose ? help me decide at the polls below

 


Diablo 3 Last Boss done in 6hrs

Got to the office this morning and first thing I heard from my colleague was that some Korean have finished the game in 6 hours ? I was like come on whats up with that ?  Respect the developers, they put their mind to it creating a new scene, gameplay and cinematic for you and I bet you just skipped every darn thing. In your mind its gotta be kill kill kill kill kill and kill.

That’s from the opening sequence to defeating the final boss, Diablo himself — playing on the normal difficulty setting. A second group of Chinese players also defeated Diablo in the same amount of time. Both parties even took screenshots of the defeated boss lying dead on the ground as proof of their victory

Korean Finishing the Game

Chinese Finishing the Game

Most people have waiting to play the game must have encountered Error 37, that is why this was mentioned

“Even though the clan defeated the final boss, it apparently could not obtain the in-game items due to, well, a server problem.”

I think even the reviewers need a longer time to write the review then them finishing the game, but no doubt those guys are the best !!

“This launch is a culmination of many years of hard work by our development team, and many years of passionate, dedicated support from gamers around the world,” said Mike Morhaime, CEO and co-founder of Blizzard Entertainment. “We’re grateful for the enthusiasm of our players, and for the help of our beta testers in getting the game ready for release. Now that Diablo 3 is live, we hope everyone’s ready to have a hellishly good time slaying demons and collecting loot in Sanctuary.”

Game ON !!


Shoe Porn Monday

Recently I just got back from a Tokyo trip and I saw the most amazing shoes that I think are only available in Japan.  I  can tell you that in Japan, they carry the most colors available for any brand that you know, be it Nike, Adidas, New Balance or Merrel, they sure paint their shoes like they are gonna be partying in it,  I manage to capture some of the pictures of the shoes as I was afraid that some wielding katana samurai will come blazing down the aisle telling me I cant take any photograph in their store, well ok I was stopped at the Nike store, but I manage to sneak a few just before he asked me to stop.

As for the shoes I have not seen any of them on the SEA market, Ok maybe one or two of them I have seen em in retail stores.. but do check out the rest.. They are totally in crazy colors, I believe Japan has always the privilege of being able to wear crazy colors and getting away with it, I was wearing em funky Pink Puma Faas when I was there and I would say I fit right in.

Do you like em Pink Shoes? well I sure do ..  Enjoy the Slide show .

How to choose bike pedals
