Galaxy S4, HTC One Or Xperia Z?

















Recently I've been trying to decide on whether to get an Galaxy S4, HTC One or an Xperia Z from Sony.

It's tough, it really is. 
Atm I have an LG, which is scratched and worn within an inch of its life. I've been through a LOT of phones including android, smartphones and an iphone. I know quite a great deal about them, funnily enough. My last phone was a HTC desire Z. This was best phone I think I've ever had before. It was beautiful, it was wonderful to use, the camera was stunning (for that time) and it was like every phone combined in a way. But I stood on it. It would take £60 quid to fix but I was still in school and I lived off of money from parents. 

So it left my life. 

I decided on my little LG because it was sturdy and cheap. Out of the 13 phones I've had, I'd say... 9 of them I broke. So i was against having an expensive phone again.

Until Now!

I've caved in. I really want the highest of the highest. 

Because I've started doing blogs and plan on doing Vlogs, I figured it would be great to be able to blog "on the go" and because I just reeeeeaaaally want one. Plus all three of the choices have 13mp cameras which would be decent for a first time vloggerrrrr. I think. 

And I miss gaming on a phone :'( 


I do love Samsung to pieces, I really do but... I mean everyone has an s4 now... and well I've always liked to be a bit different when it comes to phones, I customize everything to the Max. With the s4 it doesn't really feel like much of a personal or private styled phone. It feels open and incredibly social - even has a sort of friends and family    feel to it. 



When I think of the s4 I think of clouds and open meadows. I'm not saying they're bad things but I just don't.. look at a phone in that way.
I mean, Life Companion, reaaaaaally? 
I think the s4 is a beaut, don't get me wrong but some of the things they have added such as the "eye scroll", awesome as they are, I don't need these kinda things on my phone. It's just novelty and its gonna wear off unfortunately.


Now the HTC One. As I mentioned I enjoyed my time with my HTC but I heard bad reviews of HTC phones in general. I'm slightly put off by the idea that they are concentrated on the speakers being at the front. Now having speakers on the back of a phone never really bothered me, at all. But apparently it must have upset some people. I listened to the sound quality in an o2 store not too long ago and holy shit it was good, no denying that. 






I feel though that HTC is going to be the same old, same old. But then again old can be good, why fix something that doesn't need fixing?







But the HTC doesn't excite me as much as the Xperia Z does tho. I feel like not a great deal of light has been shed on Sony's newest development. This is the kind of phone that I like; Dark, sleek, smooth and private. 
It is mainly glass all over which is lovely :). 




I always feel that people watch what I text etc. when I'm on a bus. I don't like it haha. But with the Xperia you pretty much have to be looking straight on at the phone to see everything, from the side it becomes dark and difficult to see - which is what I like. Also it has a Walkman! (obvs) I'm a sucker for Walkman. 

Only thing is, if I were to get this phone I would definitely get insurance as I have had a problem with a few Sonys breaking in the past (not down to me) but hopefully this model will be fine ^_^

After all, it is waterproof, you're gunna expect it to last, right?  



You may have caught on that I have favoured the Xperia Z out of the three. Yeah, I've fallen in love with it. So, this has all kinda been a lie... "which one to choose?!". I already knew deep down ;)


Anyway just thought I would share my thoughts on these 4G phones and I'll update you when I purchase my beloved Xperia
Feel free to comment your own opinion and views! :)
Cya,

Maybe its something to do with Z?

My Depression












I've decided to start posting about my depression. You may call it an illness but I personally see it as an effect of the way society has socially constructed unrealistic ideas on everything, for example: Beauty.

When it comes to talking about my problems to people, friends or even family, I can't do it. There is some mental and physical barrier. When I'm asked what I'm depressed about, I try my best -I really do- to tell you, but I can't; I just start crying. And even when I stop crying, you'll ask again and I'll start wailing again - same ball game. I could write it down, but having someone read it just makes me feel sick inside. I don't  want the burden of my own twisted mentality hanging over the head of someone close to me. 
I tried talking to a doctor. Unfortunately she was very clinical, not to tied up in the emotional side of it, she was more about the chemical imbalance, which was fair enough, I to was interested in this side of it. I have an interest in how the brain functions etc etc etc. Anyhoo, you may be wondering how I managed to talk to her and tell her my problems. Well, I didn't really. I bullet pointed my main problems on a post-it note the night before and slid it across the desk to her. Genius, I know. While she read it, I sat awkwardly waiting, following her eyes down the list to see which part of my novel she was at. I did start to well up and I started to have a mild panic attack about what this woman was thinking. In my head I kept telling myself, "You need to keep it together Kirsty, All you ever do if fecking cry all the fecking time! Keep it together, TO-GE-THE-R..". And I'm proud to say I did. 
I got anti depressants and pills for anxiety. I was due back in 2 weeks time but I never did go back. Mainly because I was scared. I often feared that I was viewed as a young teenage girl seeking attention (which believe me, If you knew me, that was the last thing I wanted). Also I didn't want to be on medication long term. Obviously it sorts out the imbalance but only if you take them (well duh). If I were to come off them, I'd be back to being a mess; that's when I came to the realization that I need to make changes in my life and alter my mentality to ultimately get better. To be happy. And that's what I've been doing recently, I am noticing slight differences but there are long periods of time where I fall into my pit of hate and horribleness.

So, now that you have a reasonable* understanding of what I am going through or kinda have an insight to what some of my cheery posts are going to be based around, here's a list of my components that I'll ramble about:

Myself/Personality/Self Loathing 
Beauty
Being A Woman
How Society Views Me
Future
Reality
Society
Are We Really Free?

I may talk about all of these, not in order, only when I feel comfortable about opening up my thoughts on each one. I may even post about ones not included in the list, who knows. 
The reason I decided to post about my depression is because I feel comfortable in this blog, I don't know anyone personally on this so it's like... a diary in a way. Except not so... secret haha!

Thanks for reading,

*You will notice I will use this word A LOT as I am rather fond of it.

Be more dog

BE MORE DOG!



Relating to my last post, I wouldn't mind a cat like this. A catdog or a dogcat. Even better, a Puppykitten! ^_^. This Ad made me smile so much, incase you lot ain't seen it yet, have a wee look - it'll make your day.

FLASH- Aaaaaahhhh ~

A World Without Cats




Russell Howard's Good News - A World Without Cats.
I personally don't really like cats, I'm more of a dog person really. BUT I do like Kittens, I mean who doesn't? I agree that a world without cat videos wouldn't be worth living in. I am too, a fan of cheezburger cats. Not going to lie to you guys but I did spend a good few months dedicating my time to googling cat memes. Oh Yeah- Grumpy cat, He's awesome, watching some of the original youtube videos of him and you will see he is about the size of a kitten. A grumpy kitten. I need one. Anyway, enjoy.
Sooo, Hey! The name's Kirsty, 18 years, currently unemployed - I did just finish college for those of you who may find.. interest in.. that. (HNC in Media, WHOOP!)
Unemployment, as many may know can either be the most BORING TIME OF YOUR LIFE. You may have a gaming console, you may have a TV, you may have Facebook and you may even have (if you were to be so lucky) a social life - that stretches beyond the internet and into the depths of face to face contact. Go you!. but even so, you're skint, you can't buy games, you can't afford LIVE, you can't go out and buy a book 'cos you've got no money for a FREAKING BUS. 
So anywayyy, back to subject, I decided to start a blog. I intentionally wanted to start vlogs, because I watch A LOT of youtube videos, mainly vlogs as you may guess - buuuut i don't have a camera. 
I'm gonna see how this blogging goes, whether or not I like it and more importantly if you guys and girls like it. 
Will probably do reviews on films, on youtubers, random videos, games maybe and maybe talk about some serious subjects.
That's the main topics anyway, in between will just be me.. rambling. You're very Welcome.
