| dagger and cloak as yoonyul |
i have an entry for my phones Cloak and Dagger and my laptop Grimlock. i give names to stuff i own that i really like (i call my backpack "69", my wristwatch: "4D". my thumbdrives "Laserbeak" and "Snaptrap", my mp3 player "Opal" (well, it is its default name), my cousin's ipaq "Hawkeye III", my PS3 "Noir", our PC "Teletraan", my running shoes "Plus" and "Minus", my chucks "Black" and "Blue" (yeah, i wasnt in the mood to be creative with their names then), my boots "Zip" and "Earth", my "mall bag" "Yuki", my "jogging bag" "X", my sports earphones "Number 8", my workbag "Ironhide", my sennheiser earphones "Bliss", my sports bottles "Curve" and "Camel", my cereal bowl "Dos", my parker pens "Gold" and "Silver", my caps "Dot" and "Santa", my switchblade "Strawberry Farm", my spoon, fork and chopsticks "Nom, nom and Nom", and my tablet "Rinnegan" (at the moment. the names arent permanent. but i rarely change them anyway). i think that's errbody)
why give em names? well, these are the stuff i intend to "work" with for quite some time and when its time for them to "retire", i will feel bad about not being able to use them anymore (like "Dot"). these are the personal stuff i cathect thats why i give em names. i use its names like "where the crap is Silver"? or "i have to meet a client and Black's a bit dirty so...Blue, youre up", "im going to bicol. 69 and Zip, youre coming with me", "Damn it Cloak, why do you have to crash and lose all my contacts. now i have to plug you to Teletraan to restore your back-up". i dont know. its more interesting than just calling it nokia phone or black bag or that pair of white shoes, etc. maybe i need a pet. or im just weird and creepy. in any case, i like giving names to stuff i like. its like establishing some kind of "partnership" with them. like driving an automobile. you dont just drive a car, you get to know it in order to drive it well. you acquaint yourself wih how this automobile operates. but with the non-mechanical stuff, its really just having a favorite pen or a cap you use very often.

so if my stuff doesnt have a name, its just some piece of machinery or some stuff. sorry samsung phone. maybe i will grow to like you in the coming months.
anyway, i bought my Panasonic Lumix LX5 (which i call Miyoung) last December 2011. it was recommended to me by a friend. but i was still very undecided when to buy it then. i was thinking of postponing it until the first quarter of 2012. i mean, its not some cheap ass digicam. then i saw Tiffany Hwang carrying a Lumix GF1 (if im not mistaken) and i thought "wow. that camera looks nice with a leather case. and a girls' generation member owns a lumix" (yeah, girls generation can pretty much sell me anything and im likely to buy it. i bought an intel i5 processor because of them, i bought an LG

monitor because of them, i eat Samyang ramyun because of them). then i checked the Lumix Lx5 and it also has a leather case and it kinda looks like the one Tiffany has. so i thought, im going to buy me a Lumix digicam (and its leather case. its really the leather case that caught my attention). i didnt get the digicam model Tiffany Hwang has because i already had my eye on the LX5. seeing her with a lumix camera just made me decide to buy it as soon as possible because i started to have intense desire to have it. so a couple of weeks later, i got me a lumix LX5 and i was, and still am, happy with it. im no photographer but the camera made me interested in taking photos. i like what it captures. the pictures are great. the only thing i feel bad about it is that, i cant maximize its use because im not a photographer. but im trying to get myself acquainted with its other capabilities. so far, i havent mastered its timing the same way i mastered my previous digicam Cybershot (didnt have to come up with a name because cybershot is a nice name to begin with) which was stolen from me because 69 wasnt zipped properly.
