bluetooth

By the way if, you're wondering where the Bluetooth name originally came from, it named after a Danish Viking and King, Harald Blåtand (translated as Bluetooth in English), who lived in the latter part of the 10th century. Harald Blåtand united and controlled Denmark and Norway (hence the inspiration on the name: uniting devices through Bluetooth). He got his name from his very dark hair which was unusual for Vikings, Blåtand means dark complexion. However a more popular, (but less likely reason), was that Old Harald had a inclination towards eating Blueberries , so much so his teeth became stained with the colour, leaving Harald with a rather unique set of molars. And you thought your teeth were bad...

SO i finally received my new phone. After a couple of mishaps. Such as, how they delivery man refused to give the phone to my mother on monday because I had to be the one to sign for it. And how there was a miscommunication and the delivery guy didn't know he was suppose to send it to my office.

I feel kinda sua-ku to say that i just got to use, for the 1st time, Bluetooth. Its really cool and I am so loving it =)
Phone comes with a 1.3M camera which makes my 2M Olympus camera sounds so obsolete. Playing with my camera...


Pretty cool huh? looks like its smiling, Glowing smile...

So Gerbera, also known as African Daisy, or Transvaal daisy or Barberton daisy...
Gerbera is named for Dr. Traugott Gerber, German naturalist by Dutchman Jan Frederic Gronovius in 1737. Apparently, not much is known about Dr Traugott nor why Gronovius named a south african plant after him...

I like Gerberas, especially the orange-yellow kind. Its a really happy cheerful flower that totally can brighten one's day. Its a standalone flower. Pretty on its own without the need for accessories. Its a beautiful one, tough much smaller than a sunflower, it stands tall and proud. Tough little thing!
