Valentino Garavani

I love looking at shoes.  Not as much as I love looking at dresses but shoes are just as fun.  Although I stopped buying heels cuz I usually don't end up wearing them very often and most of the preeeetty shoes have heels that are way too high for me to actually walk in.  oh well.. they're still fun to look at!

merry Christmas!

one of the Christmas dinners this year :)

Day in Picture

From BBC News

A man dressed as a tiger sweeps the streets clean in Kiev in Ukraine in a bid to keep himself warm.

Jack in the box!  Why did they have to put the calorie count on the menu to make us feel bad.  It's not like we were going to leave the restaurant and not order sth from their awesome menu.  + we had all their creepy ads surrounding us while we ate :)

Cellphones may replace credit cards

CBC News - November 26, 2009

A pilot project involving RIM, BMO and MasterCard Canada could result in cellphones one day replacing credit cards.

MasterCard Canada has partnered with BlackBerry-maker Research In Motion and Bank of Montreal to try a contactless payment technology called PayPass that allows a shopper to simply tap their enabled phone against a sensor to make a purchase.

In June, Visa partnered with Royal Bank and Rogers Communications to test a mobile pay system in the Toronto area, using Visa's payWave technology. Rather than tapping a sensor, the Visa method involves waving an enabled cellphone in front of a sensor. The cellphone is enabled after an application is downloaded.

Global trend seen

MasterCard's four-month pilot project will involve 200 employees from MasterCard, RIM and BMO. Their experiences with the technology will be evaluated and refined. Other banks and phone types would be included before the new pay system is launched.

There is a global trend to paying for goods and services with a mobile phone. Pilot projects are underway in numerous countries, including Australia, Turkey and the United Kingdom.
The U.K. market research firm, IMS Research, predicted in a report earlier this month that by the end of 2013, there will be 12.5 million locations accepting contactless payments around the world.

Movie

It's been awhile since I went to the theatre to watch a movie.  Forgot how much better it was than watching it on my computer screen.  haha.  well it's nice to escape into someone else's life and be totally absorb into the story..  and the drive home alone listening to music and just mindlessly drive was refreshing too.  That sounds slightly emo but that was a good break tonight!

Apple's one-day shopping event

This Friday!  I need an external hard drive - a Time Capsule would be nice :)

Rare Canadian stamp fetches $260,000 U.S.

From CBC News - November 20, 2009

A 12-pence Canadian stamp more than a century old has sold for US$260,000 at a New York auction, the highest price ever paid for a single Canadian stamp.

"It's an amazing accomplishment to get that kind of price for that stamp," said Charles F. Shreve, president of Spink Shreves Galleries, the New York company that conducted the auction Thursday.

The 1851 black 12-pence pre-Confederation stamp bears a image of Queen Victoria and is one of the finest surviving examples from that era and the auction price sets a record, said Shreve.
