Pen to Pad or iPad + Why Didn’t I ?

At Work | Pen to Pad or Tap on an iPad?

I have to admit, I’ve never really considered myself to have a phobia with learning new programs and technology, but at times I still love a pen and pad. Sat in a meeting during the week, the cool photographer next to me was noting the conversation on his iPad and I was scribbling away in a not-so-cool way in my notebook; which goes everywhere with me! I laughed and mentioned just how different our way of working is but I know that one day I will have to begin to put ‘everything’ into a hand held device instead. But do I really? I still love my paper diary, I still print off every Wedding Timeline for a wedding and I still like a handwritten thank you card… and in this ever changing world of technology, do we have to move with it? Although every file I have on my computer is safely backed up and I have access to it via my mobile whenever needed – I’m still a little reluctant to let go of some of my pen to paper habits… but having looked at Apple Pages… maybe that is what I need next.  How do you work? Do you put everything on a mobile device or like me, do you also use both too?

At Home | Why Didn’t I?

Something really occurred to me this week which has never, ever done so before. It’s took me quite some years to realise this, something I may never tell my Mami because she’d say ‘I did tell you so’… and something although I will admit I wish I did do more of  but I won’t regret {because I’ve never believed in regrets and I had a whole lot of fun with the other kids!}… and that is ‘Why didn’t I listen more at Chinese school?!’. Although I speak Cantonese well, my reading and writing isn’t so amazing… and it isn’t until now where I think ‘I really should have listened a little more’. But hey, sometimes it’s the way life goes and it’s made me realise why I absorb information differently in my adult years – because I believe we should never stop learning and whatever it is I do nowadays, I put my absolute heart and soul into it. My mum is right afterall! xx
