Bought 4 “Original Apple iPhone Stereo Headset With Mic and Remote” for $19.96, and 3 “8 Pin Lightning to USB Cable” for $5.99 from iTechDeals.com. These are fakes, but they’re cheap and they get the job done. 🙂
Galaxy S4 GT-I9505
Welp, that was quick. Less than 3 months, I bought a new Android phone again. I was just not happy with my HTC One’s standby time… it was losing 1% battery every 20 minutes while just sitting on my desk. So one day as I was browsing Facebook, I saw a deal for a Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 (an international version of the S4) for $549.99 on eBay! It’s sold by the seller dailysteals, a pretty reputable company. I ordered the black version on July 15th, and there’s no tax with free shipping — awesome! It arrived yesterday and I spend all night rooting it, transferring all my files to it from my One, and making the home screen look nice. I’m very happy with it so far. Now, time to list my HTC One on Craigslist.

Fishy
Went fishing at Lake Chabot today with William, Andy, Herman, Kevin, and Carlton. We got to San Leandro first to eat pho at a restaurant called Sylantro. After that, we got to Lake Chabot at ~2pm and stayed til about 6:40pm. We caught absolutely nothing, but it was fun just hanging out in the sun. We went to Hometown Buffet for dinner and then I drove everyone home, except for Herman who drove himself home because his house was nearby.
