Blog 13: Snow is cooooooooooool :P




Snow, snow do not go away. It is really amazing this weather her in Calgary or actually in Alberta. Snowing for about a week with out stopping!!! And when? In April!! Instead of seeing all the flowers and plants, her it is just white and everything is white. But, guess what? I am really happy. I have always liked winter and the more snow we have, the more happy I am :D It just fun wearing tons of layers, boots, scarves, and coats. Your feet will dip on the snow and the most wonderful thing is the STEAM coming out of you mouth. May be the steam part is the most enjoyable thing in winter for me. Especially when waiting for the bus, I keep my self busy blowing steam. It is JUST WOW :P anyways, there is something that I realized in winter here. The weather is not cold, or maybe not cold for me, even if it is about -20 unless the weather is windy. I was so surprised in the first days of winter that it wasn’t cool even though it was under -10. I felt like I was in Kuwait, and in Kuwait, however, it never gets below 0!!! When I said that to some people, they told me that it is partially because the weather her is so dry; meaning that there is no moisture in the air because we are higher than the sea level. Unlike Kuwait, we are on the sea level which makes the air full with moisture and much cooler in winter. So as I said, I am really enjoying this weather, but it is not so cold. I do not mean by not being cold that I am always warm, but I just mean it is not much of my expectation; that is, the temperature does not match how cold the weather is. May be because where I came from?? I don’t know..

MAC


I am Goku. I am a Super Saiyan
Her I am. This is me. There nowhere else on Earth I rather be. Her I am, Just me and blogging. Today I finish the required number of BLOGSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. Horaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.
Anyways, my last presentation was really different maybe partially because it is the last presentation in the LEAP program. Oh my God why am I talking about stuff that I cannot blog about. I mean I cannot write so much about :S I got it:
Ladies and Gentlemen, I am going to talk about Macintosh.
In the past few years, Macintosh has dominated the market, and actually has waken up from its sleeping. I think Macintosh is as old as windos; however, windos was so easy to use that it was more popular. Given the fact the windos was also more flexible; that is, many computer companies could use it for their computers. Anyways, back to Macintosh, I think Apple was brought back to life by the invention of the i-pod. It was so popular that people starting to be aware that there is another computer system. Along on this path, Apple started working on this field: music. And step by step they were telling people “ hey guys, we also have computers that have the same music system. And from there, owning an apple computer was a unique sign maybe because it was and still more expensive. Anyways, now it is so popular that you can see it at the U of C almost with every other student. When people are asked why they like to have a Macintosh laptop or computer they will say that it is unique!! Yes it is unique. In fact, as I said it is specializing in songs and recently in Graphics. People can control and make wonderful pictures using it. To some people using MAC is complicated, but actually that is because they are used to use Windos. When asking people who use Mac about Windos, they will say the opposite: Windos is complicated. The true is that it is just the matter of getting use to something. I am actually starting to get interested in having a MAC laptop. Why? I don’t know it is just cool, but still, where will I get the money from?????????????????????
