The Best Apps

Author: admin

One of the best things about getting a smart phone is the wide range of applications that they offer. Since this has been developed, phones no longer serve only as a means of communication but also as an organizer and a simple means of entertainment.

You can read books, play games, and compete with your friends using your iPhone if it has Game Center.

I believe my favourite app would be the youtube downloader. I love watching videos there, especially those of cats or of Kingsley’s rants. I could easily waste four hours without even realizing it when I watch videos there. Haha!

What kind of apps do you guys download? Take screenshots of your app lists and let’s all come up with good recommendations! Maybe we could even come up with top 10 apps of each category. Leave links of your screenshots in the comments section of this post. :)



Flower Power

I never understood floral arrangement value so I decided to look around on the wonderful world of the internet and read up on this topic.

Apparently the price of the floral arrangement correlates to the florist’s services and the value of the flowers used in the arrangement. A floral arrangement full of roses would be different from one full of tulips. There are websites that offer custom floral arrangements for less if you actually look hard enough.

Flowers can apply to almost every occasion, but you should be well aware of what flowers are appropriate to use for various occasions, because there are certain flowers that are normally used for specific celebrations because others may find it offensive. It would be best to look up your flower of choice on the internet or consulting your florist before purchasing anything. It’s never too late to be aware, you know? It’ll save you a lot of trouble!



Amazing Nitro RC Cars

What is it with men and their toys? Recently, my Dad bought a kit from Nitro RC Cars. It was a remote controlled car which is fueled by a special kind of gas. I got so interested so I spent some bonding time with my Dad with this new toy. I helped him in assembling the car then we did a road test. It was amazing. It went as fast as 60 miles per hour and it sounded like a chainsaw. For the first time, I enjoyed doing something cool with my Dad.

However, after the long hours of play, I became more interested on the price. At first I wanted to buy one for myself. But then when my Dad told me how much it cost, I was stunned. I would not even tell you because I am afraid you might swallow your teeth. It was amazingly expensive for my budget.

I bet if my Mom finds out that my Dad bought a toy car that costs as much as our old car, she will probably snap :)



Strange Movies

I recently watched Emily Browning’s movie, “Sleeping Beauty”, and all I can say is, wow.

I didn’t really understand the plot until we got to the second half of the movie. I didn’t even know that there were Banquet Staff Jobs like that. I don’t think I’d ever be able to do that even if I was desperate for money, but hey.

The twist was really something, isn’t it? I didn’t really expect the movie to end that way. I’d write more, but I do not intend to be a spoiler to anyone who was planning on watching that movie and reading this post.

All I can say is, it’s not one of those regular movies you get to watch on cinemas, but it’s hella interesting. I kind of want to watch more movies like that now. Do you have any recommendations?



Body Insecurities

I just discovered something brilliant! If you want to know what it is, click here for eyelash growth products!!

It’s brilliant, really. You know how there are always these certain people that are drawn to women / men with long, curly eyelashes? What happens to those with short eyelashes that seem like they’re not even there? WHAT HAPPENS TO THEIR SELF ESTEEM? WHAT ABOUT PEOPLE LIKE ME?!

Sorry, I have weird self esteem issues sometimes. I find it unfair how women like Angelina Jolie and Jessica Alba exist. THEY MAKE THE REST OF US FEEL SO INFERIOR, DON’T YOU THINK?

Thank god for technology and the brilliant things that people come up with.

What kind of insecurities do you have about your body? Share it with us, maybe the other readers I have already found the solution to that and can help you! Go on, don’t be shy!



Jealousy

You know it actually took me a lot of time and effort to save up to buy my iPhone. Two out of my three friends also have their own iPhone products. One of them has an iPhone 4, and the other has an ipod nano touch. We all saved up to buy our own things.

I guess the times when we stop talking and just play games on our phones and iPods made the friend who didn’t have any apple products a little jealous. She started being rude to her parents about not buying her anything when all of her friends have apple products.

I gave her a talk about how she needs to save up and stop asking money from her parents to buy stuff that she doesn’t really need. We all need to learn how to be independent, and I can say that today is her day.

It’s not really very healthy for a person to rely on their parents for the rest of their lives.



Be careful!

Insurance can play a big role in someone’s lives, and even if most people think that it’s unnecessary and that no one needs it, it will end up saving you a lot of money in the end.

I believe that the best advice I can ever give to a friend that is currently employed is to get a whole life insurance to invest in, assuming that they don’t have one yet.

A lot of factors should be considered when choosing a company to invest in, however. It would be best to ask friends that possess the same insurance plan and ask how the service of the company is.

My mom always said it’s better to learn from the experience of others than having to experience difficulty on your own, and that’s exactly the advice I would like to give to all of my dearest readers in this blog, as well.

Just remember, always be careful, it can never hurt.

The famous online shopping site launched their Earth Day at The Source. Here, they showcase a wide range of energy saving earth friendly products on discounted prices. I got the news yesterday from an insider friend of mine so I decided to share it with you. The prices are discounted up to half the price but the stocks are limited so better hurry. Last night I already bought two solar-powered ipod docks which will definitely work best for me because my room has an east facing window (I get plenty of sun especially in the morning).

Anyhow, using energy efficient products is the least I can do in showing how I care about the planet. All the climate changes and catastrophic natural events has made me realize that we all must take part in saving the earth. Most people say that even if they do everything to save the planet, it just won’t do. At some point I agree with that. For instance re-using plastic bottles for instance. In the long run, after much re-use, you will still end up throwing the plastic bottle in the trash. So basically you are just delaying the inevitable. However, big things start out small.



The Game, Enjoy It!

My sister was chosen to be the representative of her batch in an upcoming event for their institute in the university.
I went to her university to watch her compete. Her university is a two hour drive from our house, so I brought my brother along with me. As the match was about to begin our backs started hurting from the heavy bags we were carrying, so we used their gym’s ping pong tables and put our bags above it.

She just joined for giggles and to have fun with her friends, but apparently her opponent took the game too seriously. Her opponent was a varsity player and the sad part was she never even smiled during the whole game.

I feel bad for her, I don’t think she enjoys playing anymore. Everyone was silent while watching them play. Theirs were the only match that no one else dared to speak in.

I’m not saying it’s bad to be competitive, but if it’s that extreme I don’t really think it’s good for your health.



Nothing But Water

Earlier today my friends and I decided to come to a water spa to relax and relieve ourselves of the stress that everyday living gave us.

I was shocked to see that the place literally had nothing but water. There were various acupuncture therapies that didn’t actually use needles. They called the therapy acupressure. They used water pressure to massage focal points in your body! How amazing is that?

What I loved most about the place was the hot pools. They required you to lean onto a cold metal bar to balance your body heat. The pools ranged from 36 to 38 degrees celsius, and you were required to dip yourself in cool water for 8 seconds after getting out of the hot pool.

It was my first time to get inside a steam bath and a sauna, and I absolutely loved it. The heat was a bit too much for me to endure, but I started getting used to it and it became an awesome experience in the end.

I saw some hot tub spa covers with interesting designs in that place. The spa area actually had an “Alice In Wonderland” feel, and it was amazing. I’d definitely recommend it to all of my friends when I go to work tomorrow.
