Smoke my cigarette, hush

She was like a broken vase

A mere touch of the careless grace

Lest should I be of service

No more than ever praise

Smoke my cigarette, hush

Offended and you blushed

A monster coming

Crushed before the aiming

Disguised as an evil

But an angel deep within

Colorless as transparent

Reduced into nothingness

Decipher me no more

Games I no longer care

For it was over before it got late

we saw it coming in a speedy rate

Clamped and tightened

Fixated but loose

Don't you see the irony

I care but 'twas before

Show me the ignition

To rekindle the fire

Of this thing called madness

In this frost of speechlessness

Kindred Spirits (part 3)

(click here for part2)

Marnie couldn't wait to report to Linda, and bring the snapshot to prove that she succeeded in killing John. There is anxiety in her behavior now that she didn't actually do the crime, instead, it was some stranger whom she gets to know by his first name only and his phone number. In fact, she's worried now, she felt like being an accomplice.

How can she shoot John in the first place? She has loved him in silence, it was a spur of the moment only when Linda offered the grueling crime to be realized. Out of hatred, out of depression and probably revenge, she took the bait, and now she's having this guilty feelings.  Contemplating, she still couldn't believe that Linda offered her to do it just because Linda deduced what John has been doing ever since. A secret that Marnie couldn't accept and fathom why in the hell could John have done those things to Linda. She thought John's the perfect husband to Linda, she thought she could never make him do a meltdown despite her gorgeous looks and sex appeal, despite her initiative and unremorseful attempts to seduce John and make him fall for her, not only emotionally but also in the physical sense.

Marnie gasped as she realized how great it would have been to share the urge and libido with John, but all these suddenly vanished when Linda told her about John's unrealistic behavior.

Kindred Spirits (Part 2)

(click here for part 1)

She never thought it would come this far. She has planned, and she must stick to it, Marnie's thoughts have been crystallined in her subconscious.

The anonymous caller hinted Marnie to get closer to her. They shook hands and exchanged mobile numbers as if they were newly acquainted.

The rescue team immediately prioritized John's transferal to the hospital. He is breathing, laboriously and hallucinating, mentioning Linda's name, asking for forgiveness, until his breath suddenly halted. Blood still pouring out from his chest.

Linda paced to and from in their apartment. She called Marnie asking her to bring the snapshot image. Marnie couldn't help smiling blithely. A large sum of money is waiting at her bank account after she completed this stage of their mission. She is totally discernible from being happy to her usual outlook - being solemn and casted out. She must thank the stranger and she need to talk to him, besides she has now his phone number.

Avel who saw everything about the shooting in the park volunteered to accompany John to the hospital. His apartment is opposite to John and Linda's, they seldom talk to each other, but one thing is for sure, in crisis like this, he feels that it is human nature to extend help as a form of camaraderie.

How to Activate the Camera in Lockscreen Mode on iOS5?

By default, double clicking the home button in an unlock mode brings up the multi-tasking drawer. Hear Ye, because double clicking the home button when the phone is locked will activate the CAMERA & MUSIC options. (image below)

I was baffled at first about this feature because there is nowhere under Settings that you can tweak the feature for the camera, not even in Accessibility options. I tried checking some settings when the camera app is open but it only gives Grid Lines toggle.

With the cool feat about bringing the camera up during lockscreen mode, here comes the part where you can use the volume up button to function as the shutter.

It works perfectly  great. The time lapse to wait for the camera to open has significantly decreased on this iOS platform.

You can also check out the previews instantly by swiping through the left or right while the camera is on, instead of tapping the preview button.

Somehow, iOS5 gets me going everyday by having me discover attributes that does not account from the keynote release.
