my fan fellow enthusiast gifted me a ceiling exhaust fan for free!

"Wait, what? You got another free gift from another YouTuber after all of your favorite mini figures from a famous YouTuber with more than 1M subscribers that you did back in 2018?" Even though this was slightly less exciting compared to those mini figures that I acquired back then, this is specifically because in fact one of my famous electric fan enthusiast YouTubers from our country with ~45K subscribers literally gifted one of his fans for real (for this case, a NIB ceiling exhaust fan). Without further ado, let me explain about how he ended up doing so in general, right away.

The ceiling exhaust fan itself... (the brand of it is Kirin)

Basically, he casually asked me in one of the social media's direct message chat (for this case, Instagram's direct message chat). At first glance, he asked about how's the current state of myself in general (especially about the current financial condition of me and both of my parents after those of the dreadful pandemic times), until how he secretly checked one of my YouTube channel's community posts about why my parent's bedroom in my current house lacked any proper ventilation whatsoever. As what I clearly stated on that aforementioned community post about it, here's the statement that I made specifically about it, in case you've wondering:

"when it's hot outside, almost all of the rooms in my current compact house goes hot AF, especially for this room... yes, it has a window in there, but due to the fact the window itself is located between it and the kitchen, yet the window itself also got blocked by the fridge right behind it, i can't even open it anymore with ease, therefore this room lacks any of proper ventilation whatsoever..."

"i feel like i want to install a ceiling exhaust fan inside there, but i don't think if i will do it soon because i obviously don't have enough budget for purchasing and installing it though..."-Me

Yep, that's basically the reason about why that particular room of my current house lacked the said ventilation, therefore it always feel so hot when it's sunny outside. I mean, it's not bad compared to those times before I moved into this exact house, which was in the portion of my dad's main workplace (it was WAY too hot when it's sunny outside every single time, thanks to the asbestos roof that it literally has, even if I installed my old exhaust fan on there too, but it turned out if that didn't help that much). Also, the reason about why I chose the ceiling exhaust fan instead of the regular one, it's due to the location of the room itself has no access to install one of those regular exhaust fans anyway... Well, he took an opportunity to troubleshoot the problem by giving me a NIB ceiling exhaust fan for free. Before he even did so afterwards, I almost refused it because I'd love to purchase one of those from any of the hardware stores or electronic stores in my hometown instead. But, with all of his reasons specifically about how he felt so pity to most of the fan enthusiasts including myself, he actually did it anyway to me by sending it straight into my current compact house where I'm currently settling in nowadays since I moved into here last year.

Further view of the ceiling exhaust fan itself...

After I waited for few days, an expedition car arrived in front of my house, and one of the courier delivered the mail that contained the said ceiling exhaust fan itself. Upon I received it, I opened the mail itself, and there was the thing itself inside it's own box! Again, although this was slightly less exciting compared to those mini figures that I acquired back then, at least this DOES have it's own key function in order to exhausting air out from that room indeed... In order to install it, I decided to call the same electrician who used to install my ceiling fan in my house by making the hole of it on the ceiling, followed by how he connected it using a cable between it and the wall switch, which he also replaced the old single light switch with a double one (one is obviously for light for that room, and the other is for the fan itself). It took approximately an hour of how he installed it, and after he did so, I decided to test it by simply flicking the switch that connects to it. Sure, it makes some difference compared to those times without it, and most importantly, it no longer makes the room itself feel so hot now every single time I turn it on... if it actually does it's job though. And finally, after he installed it, the said fan enthusiast himself transferred some bucks from his bank account to the aforementioned electrician indeed, although he had to transfer them to my bank account first, then I transferred them into him anyway.

After all of those efforts, that simply concluded about how come if he decided to sent that particular ceiling exhaust fan for free to me. I didn't expect if this occurred by all of the sudden, it's because I only meant to share that YouTube community post which simply explained about how come if that bedroom lacked any proper ventilation (including those of my pictures of the room itself), but it turned out if there was a sudden miracle behind it though, particularly from one of fellow fan enthusiasts from our country that I always recognize after all these years, even if I rarely watch any of his contents on his YouTube channel anyway for various reasons, unlike what I used to constantly binge watching them more often back in those good old days, except those were from any of the random people instead (including anybody who lives outside our country)... Well then, there you have it for my overall story particularly about this, and as always, thanks for reading this exact article.

FAQs: You ➡ Shawn K (S&M Destruction)

Courtesy: YouTube

Since my post entitled "Shawn K (S&M Destruction)... What's so special about them both?" was one of the most popular posts that I ever posted (albeit it's actually about hundreds of views for that particular post that I made), so it's time to explain using with bunch of essays that I listed here between me with those two guy YouTubers who already destroyed bunch of certain items, appliances and electronics for fun in their own YouTube channel. So, here are lists of my aforementioned essays between me and them both, right away.

B. Answers

  1. In my eyesight, Fan Motor Destruction in 2013.
  2. Hammers, hatchet (or axe), random metal bars (including crowbars), baseball bats, some power tools, and more importantly, that yellow-black sledgehammer that they both have since 2011.
  3. For example, Matt split a cheapo toy electronic keyboard then he laughed so hard; Shawn whacked a computer monitor using a plier, yet he enjoyed Highway Blues sample music in Dell Computer Destruction 4; Shawn got hit by an Elmo that Matt spun it using a drill in that Elmo vs. Lawn Mower; Matt said "oWo" in disguise in Karaoke Machine Destruction, and so on.
  4. The fact the destruction by them both makes some difference yet pleases me by subscribing them both, unlike most of their rivals... Simple as that.
  5. Smashing A Computer, Destroying A Keyboard, and some extra videos that Shawn uploaded it recently.
  6. Original Ceiling Fan Destruction. Their sequels and some other fan destruction videos also do count as well though.
  7. "God damn you!", "You're such a d**k!", "I hate your guts!", "I hate you so much!", "F*** you!", "Screw you a**hole!"
  8. Toilet Destruction, without any doubt about why.
  9. Fun with A Dryer. Some other loud destruction videos by them both like Elmo vs. Lawn Mower and Blender Destruction also do count, but those were slightly less loud.
  10. RV Washing Machine Destruction and both of their HE Top Load Washer Destruction videos.
  11. Dell Computer Destruction 4, because that's only the time when the BSOD caught on camera during Shawn ripped capacitors, disk drive, and HDD from the computer's motherboard... The original Dell Computer Destruction also counts though.
  12. smashthings1, HPad, Jaxen Ross (which he obviously destroys any toys), Garret Claridge (even though he obviously focuses on speakers and audio equipment thingumajigs), and so on... As long if they aren't just a typical copycat from Plainrock124.
  13. If they both stated if either one or two vintage items that they destroyed were broken, I would get it about why... But I still don't get it if they destroyed that Macintosh Classic II (and that printer that bundled with the computer itself) that they both did in 2013 by simply speechless to it... Not a hate comment though, despite almost every single who watched that particular destruction video by them both about it were upset so badly.
  14. Shawn got tripped during he tried to pull the payphone back in Payphone Destruction, which caused Matt laughed so hard for least a half of a minute.
  15. Certain microwave videos that involved Matt's ludicrous voices, for example, one of his "Triple Microwave x, y, z" series... Especially for the one that Matt went "WOO!!!"  in one of them that they both did.

Well, there you have it for my frequently asked questions between me with that particular YouTube channel of stuff destruction genre who focused for certain piece of equipment that they destroyed for fun purposes (such as TVs, computers, vacuum cleaners, electric fans, and washing machines).  I hope you can understand about this post about why I enjoyed that type of content by them both, so... Anyway, that's it for this post about the aforementioned frequently asked questions between me and that particular stuff destruction YouTuber that I enjoyed based on my previous titular post about why I did so, and thanks for reading this post.

FAQs: K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies on me...

As you may recognize about anything Plants vs. Zombies related on me around this Blogspot here, I'm gonna spot one official toy brand that is well-known with their own Plants vs. Zombies sets in here... Unfortunately, they weren't distributed somewhere in my country that I'm living in here, but it's very common to see them in North America and United Kingdom. I know if I actually have them, but then again, I got them from e-Bay for slightly expensive price per each of the toys (except few of them)... Well, that's my bit of story of this toy company that made their own Plants vs. Zombies toys, except it's getting more difficult to find them online anymore, because they're no longer producing them, from what I e-mailed to the toy company itself. Although they do feel so cheap (sometimes they feel so nasty too), I personally like most of the characters, especially for the plants. Speaking about the toy company itself, yes, it's one of those Lego competitors that is well-known with  their own additional building sets like those typical rods and connectors (instead of just typical Lego-style bricks), and it's not very authentic if it's not made those sets by the company itself, K'NEX. So, since this toy company no longer producing them, I will make another "I'm sorry, our Pla-" wait, wait, wait... I mean, frequently asked questions about me with K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies sets, in terms of how I discovered them, and some extra stuffs about me with those. Anyway, without further ado with them, here are bunch of essay questions about them, and here are bunch of these questions right down here.
  1. What's your very first YouTube video of K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies that you ever watched in general?
  2. What's your very first YouTube review video of K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies that you ever watched? And also, who owns those videos?
  3. What's your favorite K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies sets?
  4. What's your favorite years of K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies's existence?
  5. For some reason, you just don't like K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies's zombie figures. Why though?
  6. When did you discover those K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies review videos on YouTube?
  7. How did you comment on many of those K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies review videos on YouTube?
  8. Did you discover anything online about K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies outside YouTube and Instagram?
  9. How did you buy some K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies online, despite the fact you obviously aren't live in any regions of North America or UK?
  10. Mention few of your favorite moments from YouTubers who reviewed K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies!
  11. When did you obtain your very first K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies sets? Also, what kind of the set itself was that?
  12. According to one of your post in "More reasons about why I bought K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies", you owned them due to their trend in their days. Is it true?
  13. Is it true if any Peashooter figures (such as original, Snow Pea, Fire Peashooter, PVZGW/GW2 Peashooter, and Plasma Pea) are the ones that you always excited the most? And how about the other plants though?
  14. On the scale from 0 to 10, how much score that you give to those K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies's plant figures?
  15. On the scale from 0 to 10, how much score that you give to those K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies's zombie figures?
  16. On the scale from 0 to 100, how much score that you give to those K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies figures that stays in your collection?
  17. To be honest, do you always hang around with your K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies figures, regardless of the time and other stuffs?
  18. Did you ever break one of your K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies figures by accident, even very tiny damage that did you do so?
  19. In your opinion, since K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies are no longer producing them as for now, how do you feel about it?
  20. What's your final summary and your bottom line about K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies?

Answers:

  1. Those 5 seconds and 15 seconds commercial videos of those sets by K'NEX themselves. Before those videos, I watched an announcement slideshow video of it by a channel called BrickUltraNews.
  2. Obviously, any of K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies reviews by SquirrelStampede, especially for his K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies Series 1 video, which turned himself into legend as for now.
  3. Unfortunately, I only familiar with blind bag sets, so yeah... Blind bags.
  4. 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017.
  5. It's because they have lack of many things, apart from they're feel not so sturdy, and very challenging to put them together (unless the cheap Chinese alternatives of this toy brand will works slightly better to put their zombie figures together).
  6. Probably somewhere in the late of 2013, where I found that announcement slideshow video of it by a channel called BrickUltraNews.
  7. I commented them by mentioning one of the characters that I always excited the most (of course). Unfortunately though, due to YouTube's latest policy that caused most of those videos were set for kids already, I don't seem to do that often after all.
  8. Yes. There are plenty of the sites where I encountered them outside YouTube and Instagram, such as Facebook (back during I used to fiddling around with it), Twitter, Flickr, and some more unrecognizable sites that contained them.
  9. I obtained them from e-Bay. Sounds so easy to you, in fact it's actually not. Every single sets that I bought from it, it always costed so expensive, yet they took quite long time of delivery from North America to my country.
  10. There are plenty of my favorite moments of YouTubers reviewing them, such as SquirrelStampede showing his Peashooter figures that he owned, FGeeTV with all of their glory with them, and so on.
  11. I obtained my very first K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies sets back in September of 2015, and it was bunch of K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies Series 2 blind bags.
  12. Yes. But I'm not sure about these days, since I have no longer seen any latest things about them from YouTube so often.
  13. Sure is! I always so excited to see any of those figures, because not only the fact that they looked so different compared to the other plants, I adore them because they do look so cute, nicely detailed, and perfect for the size for each of the figures themselves that made me want to hang all the time with those figures. For the other plants besides the Peashooters, sure I also loved certain of those that looks cool too, such as Sunflower, Bloomerang, Cabbage-pult (well, I used to love it quite a lot before), and recently, Rose.
  14. 7 out of 10. Although they look so cool (which made me satisfied), but sometimes they suffer from usual goofs like loosing parts, cheap painting on most of the figure's parts, and so on.
  15. Only 3.5 out of 10, because why not. They look well-presented though, but then again, I don't bother to get any of them for obvious reasons.
  16. 75 out of 100. I know if they look so comfortable in my collection, but then again, they suffer from their own goofs that I can't even get it to repair it apart from little DIY repair of those figures that I own.
  17. As for the recent days, sometimes... Apart from me sleeping with themselves every night that is (especially for most of the plants that I always loved, especially Peashooter figures), to be honest.
  18. Recently, I cracked a bit of translucent plastic from Fire Peashooter figure that I own, exactly at the leaves of the figure itself.
  19. I was so disappointed because I actually e-mailed the company itself. Although I'm so disappointed by that, I recently messing around with any of alternative figures from China that almost as cool as K'NEX would be, as long as I didn't buy anything that is completely OUT from the game's concepts, which pains me in my ass for owning those ugly figures.
  20. K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies is one of the greatest Plants vs. Zombies figures that I ever owned. The best thing about this toy brand that produced those Plants vs. Zombies figures is of course about how they featured so much in many online medias, especially for YouTube. From what I discovered back then somewhere in the end of 2013, I was so satisfied enough to own most of the figures, especially for the plants. I'd love to buy them as soon as possible once the trend about those sets were everywhere on YouTube by many of the toy reviewers out there, but I still bothered by how I obviously don't live in the same country where those sets were released and distributed in the respective countries where they existed, so. Although I felt disappointed for not getting them as fast as possible for obvious reasons, at least I did obtain most of those for very first time back in 2015. Followed by the other figures that I got later on, I was so impressed by how they look, especially for the plants. Although they're look so cool to you, the quality of them isn't that great, however... Right now, I have bunch of those figures already, and they do look just great, just like what I've seen online by many toy reviewers, one of them being the popular toy YouTuber who sent most of his own to myself as a gift, which was a very great deal to me, because he was so impressed by the things that I enjoyed... Bottom line is, it's possibly one of my greatest Plants vs. Zombies figures or sets that I ever seen so far for me collecting my whole Plants vs. Zombies collection. Of course they do suffer from lack of things, such as cheap quality, loosing parts, bad paintings on each of the figure's parts, and so on.
Anyway, that's all of my frequently asked questions of K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies on me. Unfortunately though, since K'NEX no longer producing them, this is gonna be the last post about K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies on this Blogspot here (or is it though, unless I will make it again if they're arrived again in my upcoming series of "My Plants vs. Zombies collection [part 5]" post, but who knows)... That's it from what I can say about this, and thanks for reading this post.

Shawn K (S&M Destruction)... What's so special to you about them both?

Shawn K's channel cover as of 2017 (since they both moved into his current house)
Based on one of my post that I made earlier, which was You => stuff destruction videos on YouTube..., I'm gonna tell you about one YouTube channel of that genre, which is in my opinion, is one of my most enjoyable ones that I ever watch. Until now, I always watch their videos as my stress reliever. Even though I also watch some stuff destruction videos by other channels that are way popular than those two guys that I mentioned here, I do sometimes watch those two guys's destruction videos for sure... So, I'm gonna tell you about what's so special to me about the channel itself of their destruction videos.

1. General

Shawn (wields a hammer) & Matt (wields a hatchet) destroying a vintage dishwasher in that "Vintage Dishwasher Destruction" video... Credits belong to the YouTube channel itself...
His channel's name is Shawn K, previously it was known as ssmmkk2 (according to few of audiences who watched them with that name before they both changed it into Shawn K as for now, and also according to it's own channel's link as well). It's also known as S&M Destruction, which obviously means Shawn and Matt Destruction. No channel's description about it though, and they both made this YouTube channel of stuff destruction genre since they uploaded that Santa Gas video back in 2007. Then, they both uploaded more of their both videos like 120VAC Hooked Up To A 6 1/2" Sub, Destroying A Keyboard, Fun With Computer Fans, and so on until these days. This channel also used to known for destroying many stuffs in Matt's trailer park (sometimes in a garage like most of his videos, especially for earlier ones), until they both moved out from that place into their current house in 2017 due to there was something went wrong with Matt's trailer park's restrictions. Until now, they both still making those kinds of videos on Matt's current house, but it's unknown whether they both still making them or not due to various reasons.

2. Explanations

Just like what I said in You => stuff destruction videos on YouTube..., I enjoyed this channel due to my usual stuffs about how I ended up enjoying these types of videos that looks like this channel's would be. Back in 2013, during I was wandering by several electric fan videos by various channels on YouTube those days, I "suddenly" watch some fan destruction videos by various channels, and this channel is also no exception. It's because they both already uploaded two fan destruction videos like these:

Then, during I watched Garret Claridge's "Removing" the Ceiling Fan, with OUR HEADS in 2014, this channel also upload their own ceiling fan destruction video in that year, which was this one:

At least they both didn't destroy any vintage fans anyway, and they both also made two sequels of their both ceiling fan destructions in 2015. One was the one that was mounted on the ground, then got destroyed using thermite and pickaxe, and the other one was the same method that almost like this one above here, but with some Barney dolls involved... Okay, back to the reason about why I enjoyed this channel. Since they uploaded those three ceiling fan destruction videos that they both made, I'm pretty much enjoyed by the way how they both destroying things with their tools that they both prepared for this channel's purpose. With their both's yellow-black sledgehammer that they owned since those two Destroying A CRT TV videos that they both made in 2011, this channel becomes very iconic for destroying stuffs and entertain every viewers at the same time, such as myself. From what I remembered, this channel also have several funny moments that happens in most of their both's destruction videos. So, here are the funny moments about them that I remembered:
  • Most of destruction videos that they both made involved some of their own laughs for a moment for various reasons. For instance, in Magnavox TV Destruction, Shawn laughed after Matt broke the CRT TV's screen with a hammer. Also, in Dell Computer Destruction 4, they just laughed after Shawn knocked the whole computer set down, during the computer itself got BSOD due to he pulled a cable that was connected into a hard drive with a plier before.
  • In Cordless Phone Destruction, Matt just got hurt and said "AAAWW!!!", during he tried to broke it open and stepped it over. Although Shawn also said that due to he got hit by a piece of plastic that came from the unit itself during Matt tried to chop it off into pieces with a hatchet.
  • In Dishwasher Destruction, Shawn just tripped during he tried to mess around with the dishwasher's front panel itself that being destroyed by Matt. It also happened again later in Payphone Destruction, during he tried to pull the payphone itself, then he just tripped that caused Matt laughed so hard.
  • In the later part of Microwaving A USB Hub, Matt threw a microwave's plate then it shattered into many pieces, and they said "Oops!". It also happened again later in Jack In The Box In The Microwave, Matt just simply dropped the microwave's plate off the camera, then he laughed hard.
  • In Elmo vs Lawn Mower, Shawn just got hit by an Elmo that being spun with a drill that Matt had fun with them. It also happened again later in Front Load Washer Destruction, during Matt tried to "remove" that knob of the machine's itself with a mini sledgehammer, the thing itself just flew straight off into Shawn that caused him got hurt.
  • In Toilet Destruction, this was where Matt laughed so ridiculously, yet constantly in most of the parts, especially during they both tried to break the toilet itself.
  • In Dryer Destruction, Matt just laughed so hard during he tried to roll Shawn inside a dryer's drum, and it actually did happen that caused him hurt for a little.
  • In the same destruction video where Shawn got hurt by a front load washing machine's knob, Matt just laughed because Shawn had some "dance" on the top of the machine itself.
  • In Small CRT TV In The Microwave, during they both tried to destroy the TV itself, they decided to finish it off with some firecrackers. The second one was the best; that caused the microwave's door blew off straight into the camera and they both laughed so hard.

3. Advantages and disadvantages

a. Advantages

  • They both have a bunch of tools to destroy stuffs. Ranging from normal tools (such as few hammers, sledgehammer, axe, baseball bat, etc), to power tools (such as drill, chainsaw [only seen once], reciprocating saw, band saw, mitre saw, etc).
  • They both have some stuffs to set them on fire, such as lighter, propane torch, firecrackers, thermite, and certain spray applicators that makes a homemade flamethrower (such as deodorant, bug spray, etc).
  • They both have their own typical humour that causes every audience who watches their destruction videos gets entertained yet laughed rather than depressed or making some hate comments on them both (although this isn't the case if they still hating them, sometimes). Especially for Matt's laughs in most of the videos.
  • Their destruction videos always have a typical intro of their destruction videos of their respective items themselves, since that TV/VCR Destruction video, except for extra stuffs.
  • Shawn has a knowledge about electronic stuffs, so there's no question if he knows about how he and Matt destroys stuffs or have fun with electronics, such as certain videos like Small 12V Transformer Burnout, Fun With MOT, and so on.
  • Doll House Fire is the most popular video that they both uploaded.

b. Disadvantages

  • No channel's description at all, just blank.
  • It only have subscribers less than 100K (but it's okay to me).
  • Matt doesn't have his personal YouTube channel.
  • Most of the videos only got so few views, especially very old videos when Shawn only recorded the footage with his old analog camcorder.
  • The greatest disadvantage among all of them, which is how they both don't upload destruction videos quite often. It happens since late of 2017, where they both already moved into their new location in order to make more of their both's advanced destruction videos.

4. See also

So, there you have it for how much specialty about me with those two guys that is well-known for destroying stuffs, including electric fans that I mentioned before. I don't think if I will make another one of this kind of post about specific YouTube channel like this, though... And that's all from what I can say about this channel, and thanks for reading this post.

Your phones/tablets/computers or whatever techs that do you have...

Just like what the title said (albeit it sounds a bit complicated), here are bunch of certain technology stuffs that I have, such as phones, tablets, computers (well, I only have a laptop though), cameras, and many more technology stuffs that I owned from the past until now (excluding for my parent's own). I also include my dream technology stuffs that I will want, although they do cost a lot of money that cause me to spend a lot of money, so. Here are list of my technology stuffs that I have from the past until now. Here we go:

1. Phones

  • Sony Ericsson brick phone: Probably this was my very first phone that I ever owned (probably my parents or my family's members bought it back in around of 2005), but it didn't last long due to I kept smashed it during usage back in those days.
  • Nokia ... (model number, and it was obviously not 3310): This was my very first phone with a camera that I ever owned back in around of 2006, although my parents used it for a lot back in those days until they replaced it with the Nokia 6630 in 2008.
  • Nokia 6630: This was my very first phone with a function of recording a video, bought it back in 2008. Again, my parents and I used to use this phone for a lot those days, until we replaced it with a X2 model later on.
  • Sony Ericsson K310i and K810i (I think I guessed them right): Although these phones didn't follow my timeline of the phones that I ever used, I did eventually use both of those phones too, although it actually was owned by one of my family's members. While the K310i had a bad camera and video quality (and very tiny storage as well, it only got 12 MB), the K810i had a better camera and video quality (well, slightly) compared to the K310i.
  • D-ONE brand cheap Chinese phone: My very first phone that had a QWERTY keyboard that I bought in the same year after I got the Nokia 6630. Although it had a really bad video quality compared to Nokia 6630, it did it's job well just like the Nokia 6630 did. 
  • Nokia X2: This was my last basic phone that I ever owned, and bought it back in 2010 (I think it was), and it had slightly better video quality than the Nokia 6630. Although it had a terrible battery life compared to the others (well, the Nokia 6630 did have the terrible battery life too), it did it's job just well until I replaced it with a Samsung Galaxy Y somewhere in the late of 2011.
  • Samsung Galaxy Y: My very first Android smartphone that I ever owned, and bought it back somewhere in the late of 2011. It had Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), and it did it's job just fine for my very first Android smartphone that I ever owned for many uses for it until the late of 2014. Although it did have some problems that made me want to upgrade it in the late of 2014, which was some sort of Google Play kept crashes for unknown reasons, I eventually upgraded it with Asus Zenfone 5 in 2015.
  • Asus Zenfone 5: My second Android smartphone that I ever owned, and it's also my very first phone that did record a video in 1080p, although the camera app itself didn't allow me to enable the video stabilizer on 1080p video quality (just stuck in standard 720p video quality while I tried to enable that feature on). It had Android 4.4 (KitKat), but it also can be upgraded into Android 5.0 (Lollipop), from somebody who discovered that already. Again, just like my Samsung Galaxy Y was, it did it's job just fine, although it didn't want to run certain of the heavy mobile phone games properly (such as Plants vs. Zombies 2, Where's My Water, and so on). It did worked out pretty well for me with this phone apart from typical message while the app stopped working or either not responding that made me mad, until I upgraded it with the Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 in 2019.
  • Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1: Possibly my most strongest phone out of the previous phones that I ever owned, as well as my first premium phone that I own, and bought it in early of 2019. It's because it has 6 GB of RAM, which means thrice times powerful than my Asus Zenfone 5. Just like my Asus Zenfone 5 was, it also records a video in 1080p, except with image stabilization enabled while I record a video in that quality. Although it does so, it doesn't enable the image stabilization while I record a video in 4K video quality, but it doesn't bother me to record anything that I want with this phone. It has Android 8.1 (Oreo), and since this has a bigger RAM compared to my previous phone that I had, it does run certain heavy games properly (such as Plants vs. Zombies 2, Where's My Water (including it's sequel), and so on). So it means, I would nominate this phone as my best phone out of all of the ones that I ever owned before, although it's too powerful and fancy at the same time, but it does it's job better than the previous phones that I've worked out before (not counting for that Sony Ericsson brick phone and Nokia ... [model number] phone).
There are some more of the basic phones that I ever owned from around 2004 to 2007 (especially for the ones that didn't have any cameras), but I couldn't remember them anymore.

2. Tablets

Based on All of my tablets! post, here's what I can sum up about the tablets that I ever owned:
  • Advan T1C: My first Android tablet that I ever owned, bought in the same year after I bought my Samsung Galaxy Y phone. It had Android 2.2 (Froyo). Not much use about it apart from playing some games on it (such as Angry Birds, Angry Birds Seasons, and more), and some basic stuffs that I've done with this tablet, until I replaced it with the Advan T1Ci later on in 2012, but that one also got some problems way worse than this one.
  • Advan T1Ci: Exact same brand of the Android tablet, except for the model. It had Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich). Again, not much use about it apart from playing some games on it and some basic stuffs on it like what I did on T1C, but this one had some problems that drive me nuts more compared to the T1C... One big problem was, no matter what kind of apps that I open on this tablet, it kept crashes without any report at all, which was unacceptable. Even I tried playing my favorite games (such as Plants vs. Zombies and it's sequel), it didn't work that well, and it kept crashing as well that made me mad. Due to it's ashamed quality that this tablet claimed to run some games on it with ease but apparently didn't, I gave up using this in 2014, and destroyed it with hammer into pieces.
  • Asus Zenpad: My third Android tablet that I ever owned, and bought it in 2016. It had Android 5.0 (Lollipop). Again, not much use about it with exact same reasons like my previous two tablets that I owned just before. However, since I was bothered by how small it's own internal storage was, and some glitches on it, I gave it away to my cousin, because why not... This tablet looked better compared to those two tablets that I ever owned before.

3. Computers

I only have laptops, so here we go:
  • Acer Aspire ... (model number) laptop: This was my very first laptop that I ever owned, and bought it back in 2009. It had Windows XP operating system, but it also got upgraded into Windows 7 in 2011. It did it's job solidly for multitude uses for it about everything that involves it, until it got some weird BSOD that occurred in 2013. I was bothered by that weird BSOD in that year, so I replaced it with my Samsung brand laptop later on in that year instead of upgrading the parts of it.
  • Samsung brand laptop: Exactly like what Acer Aspire did, it does it's job just like my old Acer. Until now, it does it's job just fine like that Acer, even though it's just runs Windows 7 instead of 8 or 10. It also has some problems on it in terms of hardware and software, such as how cheaply this laptop was made, and some programs that doesn't run properly in certain ways due to low specifications that this laptop has (such as programs that doesn't respond, programs that stopped working, or so on). I feel like I want to replace this, but still, I don't have enough money to do so.

4. Cameras?

Unfortunately, I only have one camera, which is Spectra brand digital camera that I bought back in 2009. Nothing particularly special about it really, it's just a basic, cheap digital camera with some scene modes and basic video recording on it with it's own typical video quality, which my current smartphones does it's job way better than this camera.

5. Miscellaneous techs

I only have one of this kind of technology stuffs, which was that crappy smartwatch that didn't do it's job well. It kept draining the battery itself, and kept shutting itself off while I hit it with something else, even with light hit to it.

6. My dream techs

So here are the list of the dream technology stuffs that I want. Some of them may affordable, but some of them may not affordable due to expensive prices on each of them. So, here are the list of them:
  • Sony HDR CX-405 camcorder: Although my current school have 4 of those, I feel I want one of those due to how good this camcorder is in terms of price, size and quality. Although the modern smartphones does it's job just like this camcorder, I always want that for some obvious reasons.
  • Canon G7X Mark II: Albeit this digital camera is supposed for vlogging, I also want this camera. However, due to how expensive this camera is (from what I encountered one in local photo shops in my town). I kind of want this camera, or just buy the Sony camcorder instead for reliability.
  • Some Canon EOS DSLRs: Although they do look too fancy to me, but eventually my current school also have one of those, and now I also familiar with this kind of camera for multitude reasons. I still bothered by how big and heavy they are (but they do look very good if you take photo or record videos properly), so I don't think I will buy one of those, or just buy the Sony camcorder.
  • Any smartphones that has bigger RAM: Turned out I did afford one, which is Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1, to say the least.
  • Some Android Wear smartwatches: If I can find and afford one, I'll buy it. Right now, I don't think if I can find one of those; all that I found online that is related to this category is just crappy smartwatches.
  • MacBook Air: Why I choose the Air? Because the Pro one is too common to see in many segments of everybody's rich budget, and it's a little bit cheaper than the Pro (or is it). I know if I'm clearly a Windows user, but eventually I will switch into that for some reasons. Although somebody said if it's not so user friendly like what Windows do, but I feel like to switch over to that laptop... The ones that I wanted has 8 GB of RAM or more, Intel Core i5 or higher, and so on that makes it better to do heavy stuffs like editing videos on it. I eventually want one, but the price of them are always expensive, even used ones as well. However, if I bothered by how expensive they are, I will find some standard Windows laptops that has those specifications as that laptop... On the other hand though, if I'm too much done with Windows operating systems, I will eventually switch it into Mac for sure, but I just choose the Air for obvious reasons that I mentioned before, or imagine if I'm too rich already, I'll eventually pick the Pro.
There you have it! That's all of what I can say about my technology stuffs around myself, including my dream technology stuffs that I want. Anyway, that's it for this post, and thanks for reading.

Your profile picture though... (Plus the evolution of it)

Yes... This is literally my own profile picture that I'm using right now... Recently, on my YouTube channel of electric fans, there are very few of the people asking me about why I'm using this profile picture. Without further ado with them, let's take look at bunch of my profile pictures that I ever used from my early days with Google stuffs (especially for YouTube) until now.
First off, I chose this as my profile picture back in those days, exactly back in around of 2013. I chose this due to I was impressed by Plants vs. Zombies franchises quite much, although I used to upload several of my crappy videos of Angry Birds and Plants vs. Zombies stuffs that I uploaded on my YouTube channel of fans those days. The videos that I mentioned were called as Bedroom Play. In case you've wondering, what is the Bedroom Play? The answer is, here's what I explained on one of my current Instagram accounts:
""Bedroom Play" was my term about how I did some fun with my toys in my own bedroom, literally... I did that several times in my main YouTube channel in my earliest times of it back in 2013 to 2014 (I think), divided in two episodes, but I gave up and I kept uploading videos of electric fans instead of those anymore, because those videos only got a few views each rather than a lot of them..."
There you have it! That's the bit of explanation about the Bedroom Play. Again, I used to upload them, but now I've just upload electric fan videos instead on my YouTube channel, and they do have even more views than that, so... After I used that profile picture of those Plants vs. Zombies characters, I've just changed it into these ones below here:
Credits belong to certain users who owned those pictures, so apologize for my stupidity of making them here back in those days. For instance, pictures of ceiling fans in a garage and some ceiling fans in a basement belongs to Vintage Fans & More (formerly known as Cole Semanko, which is his owner of his YouTube channel of those fan videos of his ceiling fans in his garage and his ceiling fans in his basement), those KFC Plants vs. Zombies toy pictures are belongs to few of the people on Instagram, and so on. Anyway, back to things about my own profile picture. I changed into these ones in late of 2013, then I used the last one (the one with a Peashooter placed in the center of the picture) somewhere in 2015. These profile pictures that I made were worked pretty well to me, apart from my stupidity for making them back those days. I made these profile pictures because the fact I like electric fans, Angry Birds, and Plants vs. Zombies, simple as that... But, somewhere in 2015 (I think), I just changed it from these ones below here:
There we go! There are 3 of them that I made, and again, with my "stupidity" of me making them those days, but they're a lot better than the previous ones that I made. I said these ones are better than the previous batch, it's obviously due to I used some of my own pictures of fans instead of somebody else's pictures like what I did before. Although I did blatantly use other people's pictures in the background at one of them in this batch above here, but it does look better compared to the previous batch as well... Until I got the actual thing that I got later on in 2017, and changed it to these ones below here:

And there you have it! These two right above here are my current profile pictures that I'm using since 2017 to now. The reason why I'm using them in this manner, because they do look way lot more realistic, and way less effort than my previous profile pictures that I ever used before (just a little editing to make it fit on the profile picture's placeholder on one of them). With exact same reason like what I did mention to my previous profile pictures that I ever used as well, except I didn't enjoy Angry Birds franchises anymore (apart from playing those games for a brief moment when I'm bored). Although I do use these profile pictures, somebody on my YouTube channel of fans just commented me about why I'm using them right now. Even one of them said if I do have some fetish of these things that I enjoy around my YouTube channel of fans, it doesn't make any conflicts about why I'm using these kinds of my own profile pictures (especially for the latest ones, obviously).

So there you have it for why I'm using these profile pictures that I made. Overall, the latest ones are my best one out of them, it's because they do look way lot more realistic, and take less effort for making them. Anyway, that's it from what I can say about this though (including the evolution of it), and thanks for reading.

Your electric fan videos on YouTube these days...

Just like what this post's title said, and here's your question about this post, "What happened to your electric fan videos on YouTube these days?" Well, I'm gonna answer it by telling a short story about why I'm doing so, and what happened to me with electric fans these days... Without any further ado to them, I'm gonna tell them right now...

Back in 2013, during my first time I recorded an industrial ceiling fan in a former electronic store (but now swapped with bookstore) and uploaded it to my own YouTube channel of fans, I never expected to be like what I'm doing nowadays with any of those things... I know if I ever enjoyed them in my childhood around in 2008, but it only lasted about 3 years until I decided to enjoy them back by uploading that video on my YouTube channel of fans. Although I did enjoy many of the fan videos on YouTube from various channels of fans around the world, I used to post silly comments on most of those videos on YouTube, but now it's not anymore... Although I did have some issues on them that caused the other person who also enjoyed them felt upset to me (such as I almost blocked by one of the fan collectors due to I kept "replying" one of the bad users in 2015), but I tried not to do that anymore by simply ignoring them, or solving them in my logical ways... As for the time goes on from those days to now, I have several of my friends who enjoying fans too, from my local ones, to the ones who live outside my country where I'm living in right now.
Speaking about my YouTube channel of electric fans these days, not much I can say about it, other than the fact I keep uploading electric fan videos on my YouTube channels, and so for air conditioners too (well, sometimes). It's because I always use my old ways to encounter them, such as if I encounter some electric fans in public places, I record them, and upload the videos of on YouTube with certain titles and descriptions based on the condition about them... There's no difference between what I did in the past and what I'm doing right now with any of those things, except for certain equipments like recording equipments, photo and video editing software programs (although it's nearly underwhelming on my laptop for video editing software, unless I have to edit it on a computer that has 8 GB of RAM [or more]), and so on. One more thing that you may ask, "How about my friends who still enjoyed electric fans, especially for local ones?" They still making videos of them to share them to us (including myself), but they also enjoyed other things than just fans, such as air conditioners, cars, and video games (just like what I'm doing right now too, other than just electric fans)... So, that's my results about my electric fan videos on my YouTube channel of fans these days, and thanks for reading... 

Oh, take look at this bonus part of this post here, on this review video of my favorite video game's building sets here:
Look around 1:10, and here's what he said on that to me indirectly:
"... Hey, before we get too far, let's check out this really cool fan shot from AdeTheFanToyGuy, over on Instagram... He likes to be watching one of my older Plants vs. Zombies K'NEX videos on his dad's work... And if you look up at the top there's always a ceiling fan going on in his videos... I absolutely love the concept of a ceiling fan video site, which he also has up on YouTube, so check those out; they're absolutely interesting, and is totally something the internet was created for... Thank you for that awesome location video watch pick, I wouldn't mind seeing more of those..." Dan from SquirrelStampede
Although this video was published in 2017, but thank you so much for featuring one of my main Instagram pictures on there! I can't believe it if he featured it due to he was impressed by that picture that I posted on my main Instagram account... Once again, thank you very much for featuring it on there! Not only because in fact I keep enjoying electric fans, but I also enjoyed this video's game's collectible stuffs, so no wonder why I collected them as much as possible (even my favorites like what he reviewed like in that video, for example), hence why I made the series of them in my blogspot here too... So, that's it from what I conclude this post about both of things here, like the main event of this post itself, and the bonus part of this post as well... And once again, thanks for reading them.

You => stuff destruction videos on YouTube...


As you may think about these picture collages there, yes, I'm enjoying many videos of the stuff destruction videos on YouTube lately... From very popular ones, into less popular ones, and many reasons about why I watching many YouTube videos about those... "Why you just watch any of those stuff destruction videos on YouTube?" Well, I'm gonna share the reasons here about why I'm doing so, from my story about why I just watching them, frequently asked questions about me with them, and list of YouTubers of them and I've watched them already (although there are more of those destruction videos on YouTube that are exists). So, here's my big bucket of story, FAQs, and list about them, and let's start reading them right now:

1. Story

Since I liked electric fans, I decided to screw around on YouTube and searching some of local electric fan videos on it. From the Indonesian local ones, into some of the foreign ones. During I was wandering some of both electric fan and ceiling fan videos on YouTube, I "accidentally" watch my very first stuff destruction video on YouTube, which was this one:
Yes, this was my very first stuff destruction that I ever watched on YouTube. Then, I watched several more of the fan destruction videos on YouTube, and (unfortunately), I went watching even more stuff destruction videos on YouTube rather than just fans, such as destroying TV, computer, speaker, game console, and many more items that they destroyed per each of their YouTube channels. As the time goes, the ones that I watched are even more crazier. In 2015, for example, rather than standard stuff destruction videos, I've just watched certain of stuff destruction videos that looks and sounds too excessive, such as Angry Grandpa shows, TechRax, McJuggerNuggets, or even HowToBasic (albeit most of them were staged). However, I can balance them by watching some other YouTube videos such as my usual things (electric fans and toys), and those standard stuff destruction videos. There are many alternatives of stuff destruction videos out there on YouTube, but it depends on what channels that I'm familiar with, so... From 2016 to present, I still watch many kinds of those videos on YouTube, but again, it depends on what channels of those kinds of those things that I'm familiar with, but in way wider range of what kind of items that they destroyed in each of videos.

2. FAQs

Q: Who was your very first YouTube channel of stuff destruction videos that you ever watched, and you still subscribed it to now? 
A: Garret Claridge.

Q: Who's your favorite YouTube channel of stuff destruction videos?
A: First off, it was Garret Claridge, but now I also enjoyed certain more of those guys, such as Shawn K (S&M Destruction), and recently, Plainrock124.

Q: What's your favorite electric fan destruction videos?
A: First off, it was  "removing" a ceiling fan video by Garret Claridge, but now I prefer it to Shawn K's ceiling fan destruction trilogy. Also, I enjoyed some more of electric fan destruction videos, but as long as they don't destroy anything that looks rare or vintage.

Q: What's your favorite tools in most of those destruction videos?
A: I used to hardly determine this question at the start against those though (especially in my very early days with them), but since I'm too much watching them nowadays (sometimes), probably my favorite tools for those purposes are axes and sledgehammers.

Q: What are the things that do you hate in those destruction videos?
A: Anything that makes me enraged, for example, Angry Grandpa, "Parents who destroyed their kid's X" or it's vice versa, and so on... Unless they're staged.

Q: Do you ever seen any Plants vs. Zombies toys or it's stuffed things being destroyed on YouTube?
A: Recently, I found few of them. First one, it was a Threepeater toy being sliced by 1000 degree hot knife. Secondly, it was few of cheap Plants vs. Zombies popper toys being destroyed with a shredder. Thirdly, somebody destroyed very... very cheap bootleg Angry Birds Plants vs. Zombies sets by simply ripping and cutting the sets off into many pieces. Not sure about some official ones being destroyed by any means, though.

Q: In your opinion, mention some of very popular YouTubers that are identical to this purpose!
A: HowToBasic (very obviously, especially for newer ones that involve tons of jump cuts), TechRax (including some of his rivals like GizmoSlip, and so on), and recently, Plainrock124 (albeit he looks like some sort of best alternative to me).

Q: How do you know those YouTubers of stuff destructions by subscribing them?
A: There are plenty of my reasons about how I did subscribe them. For instance: I subscribed Garret Claridge due to the way how he destroying stuffs are looks impressive (although I used to be mad with him by disliking some of his videos), I subscribed Shawn K (S&M Destruction) due to the way how they both destroying stuffs makes me laugh yet heals my bad days, and I subscribed Plainrock124 due to I was impressed by one of his 50 WAYS TO BREAK A ... series, including many of his Bored Smashing series.

Q: In your childhood, did you ever watch some of stuff destruction videos before you finally enjoyed them as for now?
A: Probably yes. Especially for that very old video of a man tried to beat "the world's hardest game" thing on a computer, then there was a jumpscare that caused him scared by punching the computer's monitor straight through. For the rest of them, I don't know... Probably the ones that somebody featured them in many compilations of them on YouTube (for example, a man in office enraged and destroyed a whole computer set).

Q: Did you ever post some of your hate comments on them?
A: Well, I used to do so. But now, I'm partially neutral at them, depends on how the way they destroying those items in each of the videos.

Q: Okay, since you enjoyed any kinds of stuff destruction videos on YouTube, how about TheOriginalHDChannel?
A: Hmm... First off, let's read this quote here:
"... I think they are trying to copy that one guy that use to post videos all the time smashing vintage vacuum cleaners and electronics... From what I saw, he died... It was kinda comical when he did, he would always complain while smashing something call it something ultra deluxe or the fancy model LOL.. He would torture it with the golf club, while you saw sparks coming out of something, then the words that came out his mouth would crack me up..."-Adam D. from vintageceilingfans.com's forum
Yeah, that's the traits about him that he explained to other fan lovers on that forum website there. Now, I watch some of the alternatives that are similar to that, such as smashthings1 (Robert Burgin), HPad, and probably more, but I don't know. However, I already found that guy on YouTube with those special traits that he shared them to those fan lovers in there, it's called "smashstuff31" (if I'm not mistaken). Although it has less views on each of his videos, but it's still saves a lot of memories to somebody who ever watched them by judging by those mumbo-jumbo texts on all around his videos and the way how he says and destroys stuffs on camera.

Q: Do you ever watch some reviews (or some sort of it) that involves it's destruction? If yes, mention some YouTubers who does that!
A: Yes, I do. The YouTubers who does that are: Ashens, The 8-Bit Guy (including his other channel, The 8-bit Keys), Techmoan (although only one), Rerez, and Retro Core (also only one, albeit he only destroyed one of the parts of an item just with his bare hands).

3. List of YouTubers

Here are list of YouTube channels that are well-known for stuff destruction videos. Most of them are the ones that I subscribed, and some of them aren't... So, here are list of them:
  • HowToBasic,
  • TechRax (including his rivals, such as GizmoSlip, JerryRigEverything, etc.),
  • Plainrock124 (main alternative, including his alternate channels, such as aznguy.mp4, Ada08, etc.),
  • Garret Claridge,
  • Shawn K (second alternative besides Plainrock124, although his subscribers are way less than him, but his videos are pretty entertaining due to their laughs on most of his videos),
  • Anything that looks identical to TheOriginalHDChannel (such as smashthings1, HPad, etc.), and
  • Some channels of stuff destruction videos that has least of subscribers (or views) yet they have interesting ways to destroy items.
So, that's it about why I enjoyed them on YouTube instead of just electric fans and toys, and thanks for reading.
