Been a while!!! How've you been??
Hello Michael, I'd advice you to drop the Canon 650D.. They're far better DSLRs for far less the price. Imagine the Canon 650D $1200 vs Nikon D5300 $650 of which the Nikon is obviously better camera or the boss Nikon D5500 $820 which has a touch screen for video. I'm just efficient by nature and don't really care about names and products. But If you want Canon strictly you can go for the Canon 70D. But the Nikon D5500 OR D5300 which will surely do a better job than the Canon 650D and 70D.. The extra $600 or $400 can be used to flash and other accessories.

I may not reply later cos i have exams in 2 days but i'll surely reply later.

Thank you so much. And all the best in your exams mate! easy with the questions and don't answer too many, because I know you're going to kill and bury them all.
I have a friend writing her exams over there too.

What's the variant ? i9500? i9505? T-Mobile, Verizon or at&t or bell?

Mindfulness:
I don't think getting married is compulsory and I don't think it's a special achievement. In fact, it has its advantages and disadvantages.

Very True, the advantages might supersede the disadvantages and visa versa!

I like your views too.

Mindfulness:
It's not your wife's job to entertain you but trust that your kids will. Family life is not boring at all.

hmmm. Until then!

I believe you have a contrary opinion yeah ?

I like the kids part

MRBrownJ:
lol naaaah, i just fully believe in my stand against marriage... and also that many people have failed in their r/ships SOLELY due to marriage. so many are using marriage as a benchmark, like they've been dating/wooing someone and trying to impress/attract/entice that person, have fun together and all the beautiful madness of a r/ship... and the minute they get married, its like THE END. they believe that they dont need to impress/date/woo/entice/attract or have fun with their partner anymore (while this is exactly why that person fell in love with you). so now they become a "new" being, and it rarely work OR people unwillingly stay in this "often" miserable and boring union with a stranger. i certainly dont want that, and expect to impress/woo/date/entice/attract/conquer and have fun with her everyday that we are a couple (and i expect the same from her)... and the day she thinks she doesnt have to do that any longer then it would certainly be THE END for us.

Cogent point again!
another thing is things getting bored, I don't want a boring life at all.

@MRBrownJ I showed my friend the piece you wrote on this marriage issue.
Her reply "This Person is a Savage"

MRBrownJ:
parents never get tired of grandkids as for the living together, its a progression. after a while, if you truly cant get enough of one another, then its just inevitable.

1st she spends a night sometimes and leave a few stuff (and the needed toothbrush).

2nd, after a few months of heavy dating, she then spends weekends and leave more stuff at your place... thats when she also starts to act like its her own place by cooking, and even cleaning (if she is raised right).

3rd, by then you've been dating for at least a year or more, and you guys are so comfortable together that she is at your place most days of the week. you now trust each other fully and are having unprotected sex, and you finally give her her own keys...

4th, by then, you guys must have had the important MARRIAGE talk, and if you explain it to her properly (and she isnt some religious sheep), then she will understand your point and accept the set up. its all about TRUST and UNDERSTANDING. women need SECURITY and if you can provide that, without having to marry her then its all good.

thats why your 5th and most important move is to ask her the obvious question: hey, why dont you move in OFFICIALLY? (even though she is practically living there). if she does move in, then A) you guys are already living as husband and wife and B) a marriage certificate wont improve what you guys already have...... FACT! its just a matter of time before she get pregnant and your family get bigger.

the few opposition you may have about living together and/or having kids unmarried is:
my parents will disown me... REPLY:"babe, you have to make a decision as to what you want. i am your family now and although i dont believe in marriage, i believe in us (you, I and all our future kids).thats why i want to spend the rest of my life with you, thats why you are here. so you have to make a decision whether you want to be with me OR if you have to go back to your parents and live the life they want you to live (without me). remember that i love you and marriage cant change that. but hey, if YOU gave me reasons why YOU want us to get married, then i will evaluate them, but your parents is not a worthy reason (to me)."

my church is against having a child unmarried... REPLY:"your church is also against having sex before marriage yet we are having fantastic bedroom acrobatics. so pls, dont be an hypocrite."

you can leave me whenever you desire... REPLY:"yes, i can... do you expect me to be with you even if i dont want to? by force? is that what marriage is to you? does it even make sense? if you doubt today the love i have for you then we shouldnt even spend another second together. whether married or not, marriage cant stop a man from leaving you. and if i suddenly die, dont worry i already have a will.

CASE CLOSED!

You've said it all. Only if I hack likes on here to give 1,000,000 likes.
Thank you so much!

sbabimbola:
Don't worry, you'd pull through..... you get scared because deep down within you, you care for and cherish family life a lot.

Amen.
Thank you for the kind words.

MRBrownJ:
as soon as there are grandkids, parents soften like butter on a hot plate...



***devil's advocate mode ON***
ok, if you believe that marrying her is the solution then so be it... but before you do, ask yourself the important question: you will date this gal, spend a few months/years then eventually love her to the point of wanting to spend the rest of your natural life with her... so how is "marrying her" gonna change or improve the r/ship you guys already have?

Parents have grandkids already.

I'm last on the list.


the devil's advocate mode advice got me thinking though, thinking it rationally you're right .
but then, how will one accomplish the idea of starting and having a family

living apart ?

@MRBrownJ I have not too different view, but then, my parents especially my mother
I Will Have To Learn 4 More Languages To Get Close In Convincing Here.

I have some I like though, and I really don't mind getting married to her "if/when" the time comes.

sbabimbola:
ParentS!!!!
They are just performing their communal roles.
One needs to thread softly most times because ALL IS WELL THAT ENDS WELL.

True Again..They Are Just Playing Their Basic Roles,the Thought Of It Alone (long Term) Could Be Scary.

sbabimbola:
Marriage seem overrated in this part of the world and economy isn't helping matters too, but as far as I'm concerned marriage really worth it..... Getting the right person is the deal.

very True.
But Parents Expect Too Much. Let To Me, I'm Kind Indifferent.

Mightypee, Have You Been Able To Unlock It?

Most Xperia Phones Doesn't Come With Stock Recovery,so The Key Combos Won't Work.

If You Can Fastboot,then Flash A Custom Recovery, You Should Be A To Wipe Or Flash A Mod To Bypass The Lock.

MRBrownJ:
because its just a piece of paper.

So, You're Indifferent?

After a minute I got a text confirming the the success of my transaction but then I looked closely and discover the subscription will expire that same day . I thought it was only a minor mistake that would not do nor harm but to my surprise the next day I got a text saying my expired

Come on, that's 13th July not June. that alone practically flawed your allegation.

you assumed it will expire same day, then you probably used it as you like so you won't feel cheated, if your remaining data was wiped out

I've been using the same plan for two weeks now and I've sharing for 3 people and I still have.0.8GB left.

And for people saying it's slow, change your location,because I literally switch to EDGE to save data sometimes.

Why don't you wear an outfit that will cover your legs. Those flies can be quite annoying. The funny thing is that one can hardly see them but you go dey feel d bite and reactive itching/scratching.

True, but the heat can be sometimes unbearable. and I love 3/4 and t-shirt.
