Gonna change my blog description from
"Be suave. Be compose. Be bold."
to
"Debonair & enigmatic"
Learnt the word "enigmatic" when I spend 3 hours of my sleeping time reading "Fifty Shades of Grey", which is so unnecessary and that stuffs is obviously for women to read. Ahhh, what a waste of time (and sleep). Oh, well. Anyways, enigmatic means a person, thing or situation that is mysterious, puzzling a ambiguous (according to dictionary.com). Ambiguous means something that is difficult to understand or/and has different meanings. Okay, the latter description is for my own reference. I know, i am still trying to improve my English encountering many different terms when reading recently. Even making a note for it! Well, you could it is one of the ways of me passing my time and also its one of my interest of learning a new words.
Cheers. Could be denonair, would be enigmatic.
Daring to be different without checking if the words used are how it is suppose to be use. Just a random online platform to post all agendas/nonsenses that I might want to keep it on the web. Welcome to my digital repertoire. Cheers~

[Define] Technophile
was reading newspaper and came across this word, so I thought of looking it up... the dictionary.com app in mobile dont have this definition, so i wiki-ed it ^^
Technophilia refers generally to a strong enthusiasm for technology, especially new technologies such as personal computers, the Internet, mobile phones and home cinema. The term is used in sociology when examining the interaction of individuals with their society, especially contrasted with technophobia.
Technophilia and technophobia are the two extremes of the relationship between technology and society. The technophobe fears or dislikes technology, often regarding some or all technology with fear. This may be as a consequences of fear of change, a prior catastrophic experience with technology or because it may lead to a process of dehumanization. The technophile sees most or all technology as positive, adopting technology enthusiastically, and seeing it as a means to potentially improve life and combat social problems.
