I got my white iPhone 4 yesterday...
I got the iPhone 4 yesterday but I was a little disappointed. But I am not sure if I am disappointed with the iPhone or my service provider's SIM Card. After I did the initial setup for the iPhone 4, I inserted the micro SIM card. I turned on the iPhone 4 and it says "no service". So I thought I had to register the micro SIM card, which was exactly what I tried to do. I called the company, FIDO, and they told me that the micro SIM card has been activated. So I explained to the customer service representative of FIDO that I had already inserted the micro SIM card but the iPhone 4 and it still says, "no service". He tried to help me and put me on hold several times. He asked me to try several things to the iPhone 4 but nothing seemed to work. So the next thing is the Customer Service representative of FIDO asked me to bring my phone in to an APPLE store to check with them to see if the problem is with the micro SIM card or the iPhone 4. Mind you, I just got the iPhone out of the box. So that made me unhappy that FIDO wants me to take my precious time to do the research on their behalf. So I go, "why don't you just send me a new Micro SIM card?". Then he says he wanted to charge me $10.00 for the micro SIM card. So that got me even hotter. I only just took the iPhone 4 and the micro SIM out of the box??? Hellooooo... and now you want to charge me for the micro SIM card??? How difficult is it to get things to work??? So my plan right now is to return the iPhone 4 and the micro SIM card back to FIDO and just cancel my renewal. Just not worth my time.
Can anyone tell me the difference between the black and the new white iPhone 4?
I just don't understand this. What's the fuss with the new white iPhone 4? Is it just because its another color other than black??? My gosh, is that it? What's the fuss then? You can easily change the casing on the new iPhone 4 to any colors you like... This website has lots of cool tips for the iPhone 4.

How to get rid of the grey?
Well, at least get rid of the grey for a couple of months. I've been using this particular product which I think is pretty good. Its called JUST FOR MEN. It doesn't take long to color my hair black, but from my many occasions that I have used it, I have always had to perform the process TWICE to get it to work better. The package inside includes the coloring treatment for two treatments in a short time between each treatments.
I think doing the coloring yourself will save you a heck a lot of money in the long run. I like this product, I normally get it from Zellers. Sometimes, they have a sale, and you can get it for C$3.50 per package from the normal price of over C$6.00 per package. Anyway, that's my two cents on coloring your own hair.

Get a lock on mortgage rates
Get a lock on mortgage rates
Is this really good? I am thinking sticking with a variable rate mortgage would be a better deal for the next 2-3 years down the road since the prime rate is still fairly low and and rates would, my guess, gradually move up.

I need to talk about hair loss and hair maintenance...
In general, people will experience some hair loss in the later part of their lives, especially men. Mainly, the hair loss problem can be seen on men more than women.
Okay, for my experience, I have been starting to lose my hair when I was probably in my mid-thirties. I guess I finally realised that my hair was thinning more and more each year and my hairline was receding slowing as well. At first I didn't know what to do. I thought about seeking professional help but they were very expensive and no guarantee of me getting my hair back. As they told me, "that is another program, and you need to pay more to get on another program that'll encourage hair growth. What we are giving you for the first program is only to help you maintain what you have now". Again, there was no guarantee to keeping what I have at that point as well..
So after some reading, doing my own research (googling) and talking to some experts as well as with the help of a free consultation session by a "hair growth consultant", I think I have an idea on how to help maintain the hair that we have left on our heads right now..... If you are interested, read on.....
I think what speed up the process of me losing my hair earlier on was my fault. What I like to do when I wash my hair was to scratch my scalp while I lather the shampoo into my hair. That is a humongous mistake. The right way to do it is to massage your scalp with water and shampoo. Be gentle. I think it only makes sense. I have felt a lot of improvement in "keeping" my hair since I started massaging my scalp when I wash my hair and I have been massaging my scalp for probably the past three years. Not only that I have seen the difference, but the people around me as well. The amount of hair that I lost in the past is something that I can't get back, but for sure, I can maintain what I have now and I feel that I've been doing a pretty good job at that since I changed the method of how I wash and dry my hair. Speaking of drying my hair, it is important to follow on to read the next paragraph....
So after you wash your hair, do not use a towel to dry your hair completely. This is also an important point I want to make. It'll defeat the purpose if you massage your hair and use a towel to dry your hair completely. When you use a towel to dry your hair, you tend to rub and scratch your scalp to dry your hair and that's how you can lose more hair. So my suggestion is to use a hair-dryer to dry your hair after a shower. What you can do before you use the hair dryer for your wet hair is to just use your towel to dap dry your hair without being very vigorous with the towel. Once your hair is less wet, turn on the hair-dryer and just dry your hair gently. Another advice is do not spend too much time drying your hair, about 10 to 15 minutes would suffice. You do not need to make your hair completely dry. Using heat from the hair-dryer on your scalp too long is not very good for your scalp. So just dry your hair enough so that your hair and scalp do not feel wet or water droplets trickling down your scalp.
For me, in fact, my wife has noticed that my "bald-er" spots actually have tiny little hair growing. But honestly, I do not think that will be too much of hair growth. This method I have mentioned above is more for maintenance of your hair and your scalp health. As I understand it, the pores on your scalp are clogged up that's why we lose our hair. So with my massage method, it'll encourage blood circulation on your scalp as well as, hopefully, unclogging the pores on your scalp. Another thing is the hairstyle that you have is another thing that men fail to realise that it exposes your bald spots. I can talk about that in another blog.
My disclaimer here is that I am not an expert at hair growth or hair maintenance. The above is just my opinion and my experience that I am sharing with you and hopefully the above advice will help you as much as it helped me. Notice that I do not use any special products, just some common sense. Thanks for reading. I would welcome all your comments.

Tired....
I just played badminton tonight... I normally play badminton twice a week... this week I only managed to get in a game, which is today... and GUESS WHAT? I need to get a new badminton racket. I broke the lightest racket I have tonight.. I am sure to have to get another one... any suggestions? Yonex? Ashaway (the one I broke today, Made-in-USA), Wilson? ...hmmm...
The other think is... I got to start putting photos on here, my blog looks kinda boring... :(
The other think is... I got to start putting photos on here, my blog looks kinda boring... :(
Is it really true?
Okay, I admit.. I may have been taken... but I bought this rubber bracelet at a show in Vancouver, BC and it's supposed to help with me with my energy or something like that.. Well, its called the Edge Advantage from a company out of Chilliwack, BC. Its supposed to do the following things: improve my balance, improve my strength, improve my flexibility to name a few. I am not sure it's working YET, but we'll see in a few weeks... see how I feel after. Anyway, I've read a few other reviews on a similar product called Power Balance and most think its a scam. Whatever it is, if I feel better about myself in a few weeks, who cares if its a placebo... I may even sell it on here.. :)
I've done it...
Finally, my own blog... not sure what to write about... but I'll think of something... but at least, I've started doing it... I think my blog will be more about what I know or don't know and about things I love to do (while documenting it here) or otherwise. So watch out world, here I come....
