Every now and then I go and check what’s new on blink.com.kw, and I make monthly purchases based on my needs. Yesterday I logged in as usual, but this time it was different when I tried to checkout! Every time I try to do so I get my shopping cart cleared out of what I’m intending to buy! I gave it like several tries.. but still not working…

So, I have mailed the support division of Blink. I have never thought they would reply back to me within minutes! They have confirmed that the website is fully functional, and offered to receive my purchase order via email.. wow! I have immediately replied back with my list and my address. Another reply pops in my inbox to confirm the purchase order and the items total cost. Later on in the same night the house bell rings.. it’s the Blink delivery car! Thank you guys!

I truly admire how proactive and professional they were! You got a forever-loyal customer now!

Again, thank you Blink

Setup was easy, as usual, I have easily switched from my old BB 9700 to the new 9900 using the BlackBerry desktop manager “Switch Device” feature. below are my captures with Zain offers and BlackBerry desktop manager switching process.

Ok, as many other bloggers, every now and then I get sponsorship proposals from different companies in different fields. But every time, its the contract terms and conditions that stop me from signing.. I wouldn’t mind a sponsorship, but no power on earth.. I repeat.. ON EARTH, can tell me what to write or what not to write!

Blogging, has never been a trade or a wrestling arena for companies to fight over! Blogging is a passion! my blog is MY personal spot, that I use to say whatever I want to say. Unfortunately, some fellow bloggers deviated from that path, accepting directions and getting involved in commercial wars between local titans! (i.e: Companies). Can you imagine a blogger being asked to remove a post because it talks about the “Sponsor competitors”? Or a blogger, being forced not to attend an event held by a competitor? What is this? Exclusivity mathalan?!! By the way, these incidents are real, I’m not making things up!

My blog, has never been, and is not, and will never become a “Commercial Slave”! You, as a blogger, should realize the fact that your blog should represent you, and only you! NO one on earth, should direct what you should or shouldn’t write! I have made my choice earlier, and the question remains, fellow blogger! ..

What is your choice?

Become a commercial slave? Or fight for your “blog” freedom?
