help...help...my phone's bust....

I own this sony Ericsson's K 510i phone. Last evening I took a lot of pictures and the camera showed a message saying capacity full. So I deleted some previous pictures and took more pics :)
Then it seemed ok. But later when I took it out of my pocket, the display screen was white !! Just this blank, blinking WHITE !!
I tried switching on and off but it didn't work. ... Still white blank display....Then I went home and connected it to the computer and saved the photos I'd taken in my comp and deleted them from the phone. Now there are only around 6 pics. This is less than there was at the beginning.

But still the display doesn't come on!! Once or twice the normal screen came, but it converts back to the white blank screen in about 3 minutes. I did take out and insert the sim again....no go...

Can someone help me....Please please..... Is there some way I can get back my phone?? whats wrong with it? Oh help....

What about my msgs and tasks and contacts and videos and sounds etc.... Will they all be deleted ?? Please help....Now when I try to connect to it by computer, I cant find it.....Its nonexistent!!!
Aiyoooooooo :( :( :(

tagged....

okey dokey now that DeeCee has gone and tagged me, I shall get down to this business of writing down what I have never done.... Which; as I can already see is going to be a bit difficult...I shall go by the original, as most of you guys have already posted many things that I would have loved to add to my "Have I Ever" list :( . This is going to be just a quickie, but I solemnly promise to update this as i get along life and have more time on my hands...

Well to start off, I have never...

~ been to Jaffna ( yes I know.. its soo sad... I do sooo want to...it's the one big thing I regret in my life :( *sigh*)
~ bungee jumped
~ had to wear reaaaallly high heels and totter around :) nor can I fathom why others do this
~ dived off a waterfall (yep... wanna do that too :D )
~ had an operation
~ had my portrait painted ( wanna, wanna, wanna :D)
~ sang on stage all alone in front of a huuuuge audience (actually... only done twinkle twinkle in kindergarten, for the year end show)
~ never ever got a black mark in school, let alone punishments or even a scolding :D ( yep... moi is good girl )
~ understood why people feel this urge to condemn and differentiate others by religion, cast, race or even gender
~ caught on to Facebook
~ really got a chance to talk to my maternal grandfather - BIG time regret :(

Ok, I know these are totally random. I ALSO know I am going to regret this someday. But what the hell :P

I think everyone is probably tagged now, so this has to be a open tag...

Its Christmas in the city...

.
Hurrah!!! Tis the season to be merry ... tra la la lala la la laaa... Christmas will dawn in just another 40 days :) :)
This is the time I getttt.... (wait for it now....) *tan tara tara* "the Christmas feeling" :D :) :)

It's the wonderful feeling you get in the mornings as you wake up... Cold wind blowing in your face, the happy nip in the air that seems to make you want to float around, everything seems refreshed and renewed, even the animals seem happier :) ooooooh i love it :) Nothing can go wrong for me these days, not even people planting their stilettos on my feet, not even mommy yelling at me *I tend to float around her these days :)* , not even an irate driver yelling at me (because I floated across the road <:P ) I don't mind when people drop bags on my head from racks overhead, I ignore weirdos in office, I get incredible new ideas and (the best thing is...) I actually manage to accomplish them all without shelving them away, as I usually do.

I can't really explain why I love Christmas time so much, maybe it was being on the receiving end of all those toys and gifts long long ago. Maybe it was being able to get together as a family and put up the tree and hang up all those baubles and glitter and thingamigs, or even maybe all the various food stuff that never failed to appear on the table :) Or EVEN maybe the knowledge that I could shop till I drop, and not feel bad about it :D
What ever it was that got me those days, I still feel the magical cold nip that comes into the air when Christmas is around the corner......

To Blog or not to blog.....

Just read the following article in the Economist. Gets you thinking, doesn't it?
It's true though that it's increasingly difficult to differentiate between a real blog and just a photo album. Or even Facebook pages - most of which look like diaries of the user - probably enabling stalkers around the world easy access to many unsuspecting teenagers' lives. Many of them seem to update their Facebook profiles just to be the limelight or on account of the phobia that they will be cut out of peer groups and to be on par with their friends.

Excerpts of the article... its on page 76 - if you are interested :)

With "a heavy heart, and much consideration", Jason Calacanis this summer announced his "retirement from blogging", which he believed was "the right decision for me and my family". ..........

"Blogging is simply too big, too impersonal and lacks the intimacy that drew me to it," he offered by way of explanation. It was, he said, "the pressure" of staying on the A-list - ie, of keeping his blog so big and impersonal - that got him. Only a few years ago, so few people blogged that being in a blogosphere celebrity required little more than showing up. Now it takes hard work. And vitriol. "Today the blogosphere is so charged, so polarised, and so filled with haters hating that it's simply not worth it," Mr. Calacanis lamented........

.......... Blogging has entered the mainstream, which - as with every new medium in history - looks to its pioneers suspiciously like death. To the earliest practitioners, over a decade ago, blogging was regular posting of text updates, and later photos and videos, about themselves and their thoughts, to a few friends and family members. Today lots of Internet users do this, only they may not think of it as blogging. Instead, they update their profile pages on Facebook, MySpace or other social networks.........

....... Gone, in other words, is any sense that blogging as a technology is revolutionary, subversive or otherwise exalted, and this upsets some of its pioneers. Confirmed, however, is the idea that blogging is useful and versatile. In essence, it is a straightforward content-management system that posts updates in reverse-chronological order and allows comments and other social interactions. Viewed as such, blogging may "die" in much the same way that personal-digital assistants (PDAs) have died. .........

As DeeCee says, "Any thoughts yo?"

.

.

He has the power to hear everything women are thinking. Finally.... a man is listening...

Yeah, yeah I know ... This has to be a movie... or a dream :)

We watched "What Women Want" (directed by Nancy Meyers) on Saturday. Had the most wonderful time and we had a great laugh together :) It starred Mel Gibson as Nick Marshall and Helen Hunt as Darcy McGuire. Let me try to give you the story line without spoilers ...

Nick, a chauvinistic playboy/hot shot working at an advertising agency, thinks he's " God's gift" to women. His life is turned haywire however, when a freak accident enables him to hear what women think. First, Nick is pretty disappointed when he discovers that his beloved macho behaviour does not exactly contribute to being desired and also he can even hear what poodles think :) So, at first all he wants to do is rid himself of this curse, until he is convinced that he could use it to his advantage.

His first target is Darcy McGuire, a supposedly "man-eating", very talented advertising expert, who has managed to steal his dream position in the company. Nick decides to sabotage his new boss by reading her thoughts and selling her ideas as his own. Unfortunately just as his plan is beginning to work . . . love gets in his way.

There... didn't spoil it too much did I? :)

The movie was great....although at the beginning I did start out pissed off at Nick for the pig he was ;) And Darling got his fair share of well aimed punches for trying to defend him :) I do wish they had brought out Darcy as a more loving woman. And the romantic parts of the movie (after they really get back together) seemed a bit too short... But... it was marvellous :) Fell in love with Mel Gibson all over again, loved the plot, loved the music ... plus got my wish to lounge around with Darling with a hot chocolate !! Yes !!! :)

What more could a girl ask for?? Now if only I could get zapped and get this ability to find out what men really want .....

My Fountain of Dreams...

You are what dreams are made of
Fountains of love and joyous rapture
Sketched so softly in my eyes
My first and last for eternity

My love dances and swirls for you
Grows, foams and overflows with bliss
Ever-bubbling within, so divine
Every drop an undying promise

(",)

*sigh* ....

The most depressing thing with my office is it has no windows...We are all imprisoned in this little blue room with just the right amount of oxygen to last the day. aaaarrrgh.... There is absolutely no way for me to look out, smell the breeze (okay.. fumes), watch the birds (hmmm... cars and buses), listen to the wind (umm.. ambulances (?)) nothing ... zilch... zero.... We wouldn't know if a bomb went off, neither if a fire consumed whole of Colpetty :(

Its sooo cooold..... the A/C's on at 12 (!), the guy beside is sniffling into his hand, into his tea, onto me..... there is a weird guy beside the door who keeps on squinting into his pockets (???) I'm b..o..r..e..d.... There is nothing to look at, no one to talk to, nothing to entertain me... :(

*sigh* :( :( When all I want is to snuggle into someone (",) with a hot chocolate and mag...mmmm... :D

Alright... I know this is an office... I'm supposed to work ... but couldn't it be a pleasant, happy atmosphere? plsssss.... Or is it just me being way too pessimistic and negative? Need to look on the good side of things... (?)

hmmmm...... I need to find another job =)

This and That ...

Well, still do not have even a vague idea of how to start planning the wedding :( I go mad just thinking about it.... The best part is Darling prefers to just ignore that we are even getting married :) and contributes head nods and smiles anytime the topic comes up. i think he's got cold feet :) :)

Am so very busy in office and classes... Oh why did I ever start two courses at the same time..... Have to handover assignments every week for one course and the other well..... the project is due in THREE months !! and got to study for the finals as well :(

I chose a project on Animal Communication and spent so much time finding and collecting info and articles .... But last week when I gave in the proposal, the lecturer didn't like it :(

Responses I have had when I said I was hoping to do a project on animal communication :
1. What ??? *genuinely perplexed guy*
2. Why on earth about animals? Come on ....... write about us... *big smile*
3. What ever are you going to write?
4. Is there really anything to write about animals?
5. What do you mean animal communication? They cant talk??
6. Do you think you can really write about animal communication? I mean is there anything to research on this topic (Lecturer)
7. Animal communication?? Wow... great idea!!! (lady from Italy)
8. Animals? ah.... writing about what you can do I suppose?? (my brother)

What in heavens is wrong with our people? What is so bad about trying to write about animals?
I have gone through so many libraries and book stores and never found a book worth while about animals and communication by a Sri Lankan. Even the Zoological Dept. said they didn't know!!

Anyways the lecturer started out saying we should do research about something we love and enjoy it.... So..... I thought ........ :(

But, hey........ I am going to follow my mom's ideas..... She said, "Well duwa, you can either come out of the ordinary and do something no one else has done and enjoy it..... Or you can just continue doing the things everyone does.. "
So, moi is going to DO it and SHOW them..... :D
