what is a branded product? and what is a non-branded product?
Why do we buy branded products?
When I was small, I was taught that buying branded should be frown upon. Because essentially buying something that overpriced but little value.
But as I grew older, it's entirely a different case. Every brand has a vision.Some chose to be only luxury products. Some chose to be available for all price range.
The reason these companies priced their products are also what drives the brand the company. If everyone owned a Ferrari, the car would probably lose it's exclusive touch. If Ferrari made their cars in mass amounts such as of the Proton, it probably won't be attractive as it is now.
But, on the other hand, certain brands do carry models for different price range. For example, Logitech.
Logitech is computer peripheral company. They sells speakers, mouse, keyboard, steering wheels, and etc.
Some of these models prices start from RM30 and above.
The reason we buy a certain brand, because we know and we trust this brand will give us the quality that we want. For example, I paid RM30 for a pair of speakers which will work for as much as I paid it, that it won't break down easily but just sufficient to fulfil my audio enjoyment.
My point is, the view was I taught when I was young is totally invalid.

of Relationships
Oh Me Goodness , it's been a month that I haven't been blogging.
Today, my superior treated all our team members lunch. I being the greedy, took a little too much. Well, let's just it's not a good experience. I'll make sure I'll take just the right amount next time.
_________________________________________________________________________________
On another note,
Just roughly 48 hours till the end of 2011, for some of my friends, it's probably a new beginning to look forward to. A few of my gal friends have broken up, some had a long distance relationship , some only lasted for a few months, sone had it for long time.Regardless of what type or period of the relationship, nevertheless, the break up still hurt their feelings and they will need to recover from this pain.
During college, we had this couple who were together before college till the end of college.Unfortunately, it couldn't last long after college. They broke up from a few years after college. Sometimes what seemed so right from outside, doesn't really reflect they are right for each other in the inside.
People change. Coupleship during studies is different from coupleship during work. The needs and wants of a couple during studies is different from a couple who are in their working age.
I find that coupleship during your working age is the most mature relationship that you can have. But the lack of experience of coupleship of earlier age (during studies) does prove to be an disadvantage.
But, that's just my opinion. Being in relationship is always a learning process.
It's really easy to start a relationhip , and it's also easy to end one. How we keep it going , it's entirely up to both of you / us.
In the meantime, for those gal friends who have broken up, here's a song from Michael Bublé for you to cheer you all up.
If you have any comments / stories to share, please post them below.
Thank you.

Conspiracy
According to Dictionary.com,
are as below:
Being in a group, you probably need to respect the rules or do's and don'ts of the group. If you decide to do something else in the norm, you can expect yourself to be condemned by the group. This , however , applies only if you're in a social circle. Meaning, if the group you're with , are fans of that basketball team/soccer/football team that you're NOT interested, you could always keep quiet when they are talking about the their favorite team. You could always do a pissing match just to spite each other out of the name of fun as well. But, that might get old after a while. However, if you just can't find a way to have fun with this group, you could always opt to join another group of people who have the same interests as you.
Humans, after all are social species. But, if every group you joined, you made a ruckus , causing everyone in the group to dislike you in one way or another, all the groups will one way or another decide to conspire to go against you. Certainly, when you're in that kind of condition, it's not an easy feat to survive. Let's assume you're a student, studying in an environment where your classmates don't want to join you for lunch, OR your fellow classmates just feel uncomfortable by your mere presence ("helped" by people who conspire against because of you wronged them way too many times), OR they ignore your presence when you talk to them.
Then, it's probably a good idea to
a) look for another place to study.
b) behave like their part of a group.
Option (b) might still work, but it's going to take a long time for people to change their mind since your image/reputation was tainted by people that conspire against you.
Option (a) would be the easiest, where you start anew and this time you should at least try to make it right.
But, not everyone has the luxury of option (a). (That would a be a different story at work.) So, before you want to say / do something that might cause the group of people to dislike / hate you, think about how would you feel if they did to you?
##LONG version #
#SHORT version#
If you're in a group, make sure you understand the terms / habits of the group. If you decide to do something else out of the groups' norm, you could always ask the group members whether something is OKAY or otherwise. If you decide to live as a lonely human being for your entire life, always cause a commotion wherever you go.

If you have real life examples about this, do share in the comments section. :D

Why am I talking about conspiracy? Well, let's just say I have some first hand experience about it. I don't say I'm a saint, but I would be guilty as charged by conspiring with these people. Imagine you're part of a group, where most of them like to have McDonald's for lunch, naturally even you're not really a fan of McDonald's, you would still join them. So, naturally when you go out with them, you try to have a good time with them while they enjoying your lunch. Hopefully, the next time they have lunch with you, they would go for something that you desire. If not, you could always voice out your opinion.
As a tightly-knit group, they would try to accommodate you as well.
But, if when you're going out lunch with them to McDonald's , you decide to show your sour face, cause a commotion when everyone is having their lunch; you probably can stop thinking people joining you for lunch on something you like.
