We love playing Draw Something! Add me! account name is TreasureJar
I am not really good with drawing so I mostly use colors from my color palette. Here is an octopus I drew. Kraken!
Here is a colorful sunset I “drew”
I’ve drawn picnic, Rihanna, Jordan, fireball, wildfire, golf club, golf ball logo, party hats, seashore, starfish, Ireland among others.
Even the children have fun drawing and if the words are easy enough, they get to draw too. My son even made an account using the hubby’s phone and we exchange drawings.
This is a good way to exercise those creative streaks we have long “hidden” because we are too busy with mundane work.
Now, I still have to buy a stylus for my tablet for better details,
I’ve noticed something different about career choices of incoming college students these days: the courses have terms that sound different from when I was about to start college. A lot of people also choose to get online college degree rather than commute to school.
Whatever happened to the good old courses?
It seems like everyone ones to just be behind a desk in front of a computer, behind the cameras, stage and doing props of making things in digital form. Don’t these young people want to improve on the food sources and agricultural issues to increase food production? Or maybe discover a cure to lessen dengue fever or increase resistance to airborne diseases?
Times are changing yes, but if everyone wants to be the next big thing in digital arts media, who would take care of the sick? Who would teach the young ones? Who would manage the food sources?
Among those who sing cover songs in YouTube, there is one we specifically love: Maddie Jane.
With today’s technology, it is easy to listen to songs we wouldn’t have access to years ago. In fact, upcoming bands and singers get easily recognized through the various means that people can listen to them. It is also easier to access their musical creations through music cd duplication.
To my aspiring little guitarist, I hope she also gets her break with the fickle-minded audience someday
We’ve bought a small gadget from an on-line discount vendor a few weeks ago. They emailed last week that delivery will be delayed. Ugh. Times like this I wish I can personally track the delivery progress, like they do with Santa during Christmas,
The hubby’s work in relation to telcos enabled him to experience different kinds of mobile phones when mobile phone usage was in its infancy in the country during the late 90s. I particularly liked the Benefon units because of its many useful functions like the gps locator, safety of user in case of emergencies where he/she needs to be found and truck fleet tracking.
The mobile phones these days can do just that but those Benefon units were well ahead of its time.
Hubby has a new “sideline” : putting up security cameras or CCTV Installation services in the homes (and offices) of people, mostly with people who trust him. He was able to know the process of putting up cctv because he has been tasked to help a company that puts up these cameras in public places.
Perhaps one of the things that make him different from those who do the same thing is his tech know-how: he can make the homeowners/office big bosses view what the cameras are viewing through an online connection. Cool huh?
Let’s admit it, being in the midst of the action in social media seems to be that BIG thing since sending sms has been introduced to us Filipinos. You know, we who boasts as THE texting capital of the world and upcoming Facebook superstar in terms of sheer number of accounts created, real accounts to the right and dummy accounts to the left are all counted here.
Anyway, Facebook is not the only social media platform we all use. Twitter is another form of social media which very well takes third place, where sms is still king for now and Facebook comes second, in terms of sending messages and group announcements. Other microblogging sites are catching up too.
Yes dearies, the young has invaded Twitter too and why not? Sending messages to friends via Twitter is FREE. Free in terms of not using data charge per message sent per subscriber. Imagine, if all your friends are in Twitter, you can just send a status update to your 10 friends that tomorrow you will be going to the mall after school. There’s really no need to shell out money ten times multiplied several times as the number of messages because you can reply several times as long as you want to.
I’m sure the telcos are squirming in their seats trying to think of ways on how their subscribers can part with their hard-earned money.
For me, there’s a dark side to engaging in these social media tools when it comes to communicating with friends, real or virtual. Continue Reading »
