T3#6: 10 Reasons Not To Get an iPad – Yet
<p style="text-align: justify;">Today's Facebook statuses were filled with mostly only 2 things: the search for the next Las Vegas Mowdels, and Apple's launch of the new iPad. Of the two, the former interests me not, on many levels (check out this <a title="Laz Vegaz Mowdelz" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKbLWjTnHDI" target="_blank">YouTube video</a> to know why), while the latter obviously, especially to an Apple Techie like myself, lends itself to instant ogling and lusting over. And yet, even with all the obvious reasons to get one asap, I find myself holding back on this one. At least for the meantime. Here's why.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><div class="qodef-more-link-container"><a itemprop="url" href="https://www.riccichan.com/2010/01/10-reasons-not-to-get-an-ipad-yet/#more-791" target="_self" class="qodef-btn qodef-btn-medium qodef-btn-solid"> <span class="qodef-btn-text">Continue reading</span> </a></div></p>
T3#5: 10 Things I Hate About KFC Commonwealth Avenue (repost)
<p style="text-align: justify;">What do you do when you're thinking about dinner, cannot get out of where you are, only have your phone as your ally, and can spare 30 minutes to wait? NOT CALL KFC OF COURSE! And here are ten reasons why you shouldn't:</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><div class="qodef-more-link-container"><a itemprop="url" href="https://www.riccichan.com/2010/01/10-things-i-hate-about-kfc-commonwealth-avenue/#more-741" target="_self" class="qodef-btn qodef-btn-medium qodef-btn-solid"> <span class="qodef-btn-text">Continue reading</span> </a></div></p>
T3#4: My 10 Best Michael Jackson Songs
<p style="text-align: justify;">No, I refuse to be part of a worldwide requiem for the King Of Pop. But when I think about my own personal musical journey, I can't help but go back to how much Michael Jackson has influenced my sound & musical preference. So instead of speaking about how much he's influenced my life (and run the risk of sounding like a wanna-be-fan or a wanna-be-someone-<span style="font-style: italic;">pa</span>-close-<span style="font-style: italic;">sa-kanya</span>), I will allow his legacy - his work - to speak for himself. After all, after all this hype has died down, and the reality of the recession starts creeping back in, it is his music that will linger on and prove to one and all that he will live forever.<div class="qodef-more-link-container"><a itemprop="url" href="https://www.riccichan.com/2009/06/my-10-best-michael-jackson-songs/#more-21" target="_self" class="qodef-btn qodef-btn-medium qodef-btn-solid"> <span class="qodef-btn-text">Continue reading</span> </a></div></p>

So in the interest of those who are in the same condition as I am, whether it be purely to save, or for those who's schedules are just packed against their will, here are some things I came up with that might be of help or amusement to your already over-burdened lives.

T3#2: 10 Things I Hate About Wannabe Photographers
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" style="margin: 0px auto 0px; cursor: hand; width: 318px; height: 400px;" src="http://www.photography-colleges.org/wp-content/themes/hello_d_wp/hello_d/images/photography.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></p> <div style="font-style: italic; font-size: 10px; text-align: center;"> <p style="text-align: center;">image borrowed from <a href="http://http://www.photography-colleges.org/wp-content/themes/hello_d_wp/hello_d/images/photography.jpg/">Photography Colleges</a></p> </div> <p style="text-align: justify;">Eight years in the beauty business has taught me one singular thing: there is no such thing as mediocrity. You're either just beautiful or you're not; just ugly or not. Plain is a white polo, or a place where you plant rice, not a beauty standard.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">The same, I guess, goes for people who call themselves "photographers." With the advent of new technology (read: digital photography, and the countless list of "cam-whatevers" - from phone cams to mp3 cams, etc.) more and more people are getting into the realm of photography. But few, I declare, are worthy to be called photographers. It's meshing a great eye with technical savvy; clicking at that right moment whilst making sure one has prepared that perfect moment to begin with.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Let me keep this simple.
