Samsung Galaxy A11 Unboxing

ice9web@gmail.com (isis lahora) — Sat, 3 Oct 2020 15:58:00 +0800

My current Android ASUS Zenfone4 has been struggling with battery ... this is already the replaced battery... the unit itself is already 4 years old and not bad for Smartphone!

it is only the battery that has a problem ... which doesn't work anymore unless it is attached in a charger or power bank... :( And I truly need an Android phone for work... So I research what Android 10 phones that are affordable, have no plans to go to the malls because of CoVid and news about security guards at the malls have CoVid ... can't gamble to buy a very expensive one because I can't see it myself and can't test it personally... So might as well just buy affordable less than 7k smartphones... Need to have an allowance budget to buy for casing and screen protector too. (ya know)

What I Learned So Far...

ice9web@gmail.com (isis lahora) — Sat, 8 Aug 2020 21:30:00 +0800

Imagine this... He said "yes" he will make it for your birthday... but he didn't ...

Now you're wondering ... what else did he say - that he doesn't mean?

He thought it was wrong all along to do it... really?

maybe all those words he said from the beginning was all wrong... don't you think?

And, why is it "all wrong" to keep up with your words?

The Bible said:

to stay away from people who can't keep their words = lies!... (Proverbs 14:25 NKJV)
words sometimes come from evil one just to influence and manipulate people... (Romans 16:18 NKJV)
what's spoken comes from the heart... (Matthew 15:18 NKJV)
actions speak louder than words, else you will be condemned... (Matthew 12:36-37 NKJV)

I did ask God.. prayed to show his true colors... and see it through his actions - don't connect with what he says.

iPhone 7 ... Gone in Less Than A Year!

ice9web@gmail.com (isis lahora) — Tue, 28 Apr 2020 16:39:00 +0800

A refurbished phone given to me for birthday gift... this was bought in California, as he is working in Apple Computer. From the beginning the first thing I notice is that I can't talk to the phone like saying "Hey Siri!" it just won't activate...

Anyway, that is a minor problem... So I just ignore it...

Now just today, when I was about to charge it, wifi off, and airplane mode ... left it for a couple of hours when I came back the battery percentage drop down to 9%!
I thought what happened? Before I attached it to the charger it was 15% now it got down to 9%???

Troubleshooting I change the charger, I use the Anker 4-in-1 that I also use to charge Tablet and old Android phone... still it didn't work!

I attached the Android Tablet in Anker it worked! it was charging but when I attached the iPhone 7 still it won't work...

Till the battery in the iPhone went down to 1%... and it died!

When I was bout to go inside the bathroom to get some shower ... Ate Helen called me on my mobile... and answered it... she is asking help for her son... while she was talking... I felt shaking lightly for more than 5 seconds so I know it wasn't me getting dizzy ...

I stopped her and said ... ga lindol te means "there's an earthquake" ... then the shaking becomes strong, that I can't stand up properly and just have to hold the desktop PC so it won't fall from the table ...
told her "lets stop talking ... we'll meet tomorrow at DMSF."

I heard the siren, its the siren we usually hear if there is a city-wide emergency drill. And the electricity shut off!

Why Is It Painful To Do The Right Thing?

ice9web@gmail.com (isis lahora) — Wed, 31 Jul 2019 10:33:00 +0800

Literally it's painful,
but my conscience is peaceful.

Why?

There are so many words in my mind and heart that I can't write... because words are not enough to express everything I'm feeling right now...

I want to go somewhere and just SHOUT!

Inspiring words from Oprah Winfrey

He replied, "Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."

Sea Urchins Experience

ice9web@gmail.com (isis lahora) — Sun, 4 Oct 2015 23:03:00 +0800

I remember the unforgettable moment with sea urchin at the age of 5:
(I can still walk well back then) I didn't know red sea urchin are painful, they look so attractive, I was already warned by my parents not to step or go near them... I tried to avoid them but I didn't notice, when we were just sitting around the big stones I step on a small red sea urchin.

I can never forget that pain - from the bottom of my foot up to my ankle, I just went crying and my male cousins was shocked why am I crying, they carried me away from the big stones, then at the seashore they checked my feet, they found 1 pc of red spine stuck at my right foot, near the ankle, automatically one of my male cousin pee in that area, (I know it sound ridiculous but, that is how the provincial first aid medicine works LOL) and they carried me to my dad, he took a tweezers to pick out the spine, still I didn't feel any relief, the pain was still there, and after some hours it felt a bit numb.

Anyway, here is a video about Sea Urchin:

Happy Birthday Isis

ice9web@gmail.com (isis lahora) — Wed, 5 Aug 2015 22:06:00 +0800

This year birthday, I don't have plans of having a big celebration. All I need is to be with good friends who knows me inside-out and spend time at the beach.

I also have turned off the birthday notification in my Fb so to know whom among my friends really know my special day. In short, I wasn't expecting any greetings.

I woke up this morning with an early alarm around 3:30am (because we have plans to go to the beach just me, Mary and her sister), the first cellphone text message I received, was from my good friend Belle Joy. I was so surprised by her greetings that I replied her with a funny English message "I don't remember you remember my birthday" lolz (^_^)

Birthday Wish

ice9web@gmail.com (isis lahora) — Sat, 1 Aug 2015 18:41:00 +0800

My Birthday is coming...
coming very soon... wish I can get ...

My Birthday Wish...

I have been praying about it for a long time (since 2008). And, this year is like the 7th year that I'm wishing for it... sometimes it makes me think that God's answer is maybe "No" instead of "wait"? ... oh here I go again with the negative thoughts!

My questions are: why is it that whenever things are getting right, it is slowly falling apart? Is it really right? or is it wrong? If it's really wrong then why does it feel so right?
