Just a week ago, we visited Carrefour of Kuwait and spotted a DiVoom iTour 10 capsule speaker. At first I doubted that it would be like any normal speaker like those for desktop computers. I saw one from a friend but that was from a different company and a little bit bulky(just imagine a medium sized cucumber on your bag).

Although being launched late here in Kuwait, still I bought one through the insistence of my friends(thank you) and also I intend to use it on my Cowon A3 or on my phone while doing some work at home. Being small I really really underestimated it, being packed with 2.4w rms only, I never expected more about it.

When I tried it first with my phone(which also have poor loud speaker)it blows me. I never expected something more from its size and yes it can shake the roots of your eardrums. It has a loud sound with clear emphasis on bass and treble on a small scale. It even surpasses my desktop computer’s speakers(it’s the cheap one that squeaks to the fullest volume) and probably, it equaled my ATech headphones performance.

The thing that I love most of iTour 10 is its size. Easy to carry on the go and its connector jack with its 7cm length, can be easily tucked underneath. There are only 2 levels of volume to control though but your media player has more control about it.

It’s like being fished out from a pool of oil.

Recently my bro just graduated from nursing but unfortunately I cannot attend due to financial reasons and some other reasons that I already forgot. I just wish he will double his effort the way he did in four years for his board exam. For my part, it’s like a relief from pushing a boulder uphill and resting a few meters from the top.

It is not easy financing a college student especially in nursing. Tuitions, books, uniforms, equipments and etc. it is like buying equipments for building a spacecraft. Hard part is, i don’t have my own family yet but I am now experiencing how a father  should be like. bollocks

Living the name

Why the name?

Recently, as I felt relaxed from days of work, pressure from schedules and etc., I came to think about my life in the past. I tried to recall all of those fears that I have when I was young. One of those, was being called by the name ”boryong“. Actually, it is the name of my grandma’s brother. As I recalled, whenever theres a gathering, some friends and other family members started taunting me with the name then I started shying away and sometimes started crying. I don’t know why I acted like that, maybe I am afraid of my name being replaced or just I don’t like to imagine the face of the person whose name being called on me because as I can recall he got a weird eyes.

As of the saying, “you have to live your fears in order to conquer it“. But I think I already conquered it long before. So for now, I’ll start using it as one my my net names, besides it is the name of my grand.
