I'm Such An Apple Snob~

Whoo, alright, so I guess it's been a little while huh. It seems my blogging is becoming more and more irregular. Oh well~

So not much has happened in my life since my last post. I think the most important thing, to me, would be getting my new baby! By baby I mean my new MacBook Pro awww yissss. I chose a Mac because of personal preference, having used both PC and Mac. My previous laptop was PC, so I decided that I wanted a Mac this time. I just prefer Mac, mostly because I personally find it to be more user-friendly. Everything is so visual and straight-forward. And let's be honest here, they just look and feel so much nicer. So yeah, I'm an Apple snob. But I'm not denying that it's not perfect. My standpoint on the whole PC vs. Mac debate is PC = Mac. Both have their pros and cons, benefits and drawbacks. In the end, it really comes down to what it is you want to use it for, and of course your own personal preference.

So, this is my first blog post using my baby! I'm absolutely loving it, it's a really brilliant computer. I went for the older MacBook, without retina display. This was for a few reasons. The first, is that retina display isn't really that important to me, as it's more aimed at people who want to use their computer for graphic design, photo editing etc. All that kind of stuff. I'm just a regular user, I don't really do anything of that kind, so I didn't think I needed to pay a shit load extra for it. Secondly, the MacBooks with retina display have flash drive storage, rather than hard drive, which means that they were generally smaller in terms of space. I need quite a lot of space, as and avid Sims 3 player. Also, the newer MacBooks don't have disc drives, which would render it completely useless to me. If I went for the retina display, I would have had to pay at least $1000 extra, for a computer with less space and no disc drive. I would eventually have to buy an external hard drive and disc drive for it, which would really add up. So, older MacBook it is! I don't really care about whether or not it's old or new, so long as it works and does what I need it to do. It was actually an very early Christmas present from my parents. Honestly, I really have the best parents in the world. I am so thankful, so incredibly grateful. I love you mum and dad!

Oh, I guess another important thing that has happened would be finishing my exams, and thus ending my academic life at high school. I just have to go back in for a bit on the 6th December, for some admin kind of stuff, and then after that I never have to set foot in my high school again~ I still don't really know how to feel about it all. My exams just came and went, I never really felt stressed or nervous about them. I just turned up, did my best in the exams and left. Before I knew it they were all over, and now I'm sitting here not really knowing what to think or what to do. I know I should get off my butt and look for a job, but I just get so anxious whenever I think about it. And besides, I just finished my exams on Friday. I'm allowed to just take a break from it all, right? What's so wrong about that? Ah... I'm such a terrible person. Well, at least give me a couple of weeks to just relax. I'll start looking for a job soon. Maybe.

I only have one more thing to say and that is OH MY GOD ACE'S NEW SINGLE ELEMENTA ALCHEMICA IS ABSOLUTELY, 100% PERFECT. I have never heard such a well composed piece of music in my life. It's stunning, completely brilliant from beginning to end, all fourty minutes of it. ACE have really outdone themselves on this one. I've already exhausted my fangirling and now my mind is in a state of numbness, it's just so amazing. I keep listening to it, over and over again. I'd say my favourite movement is probably Wind, but all movements are wonderful. I'm actually a little disappointed that I missed out on getting a copy of it. I really wanted the limited edition, but CDJapan sold out before I could get it. I'm gonna keep my eye on Closet Child CD, and if it comes up, I'm grabbing it. I really, really want a physical copy of this single. Because it is honestly nothing short or a masterpiece.

And that's all for today. I'm out~
