I am not sure why but I saw all these hilariously filtered photos all over social media made with the app Meitu. I couldn’t resist trying it myself!
My favourite were the filters that looked like drawings.
I think I could totally rock this look in real life:
Last night, I started my first class at Brain Station in Intro to Web Development.
I’ve had websites since I was 9 years old. My first website was a Pokemon gifs site on Geocities that would crash your computer because it had too many moving gifs.
I’ve moved on since and my two current sites, RIde the Tempo and this blog, which are both lovely in their own right but I’ve never built a site from scratch.
At a young age, I was good at deconstructing existing templates or WordPress themes but not writing the code from the ground up.
Hopefully in my 10 weeks at Brain Station, I’ll come closer to be able to build something of my own. I’ll keep you updated on my progress and what it’s realistically like to be at a tech bootcamp. I found the first class rather easy and basic, but I still learned some style tips.
Can’t wait for next Thursday!
When I purchased my new camera, I got a bunch of free goodies and one of them was this tiny USB that is a replica of the Canon 5D mark III. It even came in a similar box!
The tiny camera even came with it’s own lens caps and straps.
It looks just like the real thing!
Here is my Sailor Moon Funko to scale.
My life is full of charging cables for all sorts of devices: my e-reader, my laptop, my phone, my watch. In my bachelor apartment, it is really hard to walk anywhere without tripping over some kind of chord.
So it was perfect that my dad got me a Belkin charging dock that can do both my Apple Watch and iPhone and have one less cable on the ground!
For those of you who love my dog Teddy, he has his own Instagram account! You can follow him at @bichonteddy.
Here are some more funny Simpsons books from my Tumblr!
I did the 2016 Best 9 thing for Instagram and all my most liked photos seem to be rather solitary activities like listening to vinyl, the dog, landscape and of course selfies. Only 2/9 are concert related photos which was super surprising!
I’ve had an eventful 2016 and I hope 2017 will be even better!
Recently, Facebook announced HTML 5 games that you can play with your friends in Messengser.
When you are playing with one person the competition is friendly.
However, it can get intense in a group chat! It is definitely a bit more heated. I only hope that they will turn off notifications every time someone plays a game. I only want to know if you beat me!
Now time to play some word games.
I have been embracing wearables and finding fun health things to track.
Something I often lack in my day is water so I am trying the Waterminder app. It has a suggested daily intake due to your weight and activity. You can then program cup sizes that you normally drink. For example a grande at Starbucks is 470ml. All liquid counts but water is the most recommended.
There are achievements to unlock and constant reminders throughout the day to remind you take sips. They appear on my Apple Watch too, which can be a tiny bit aggressive. At least now I have no excuse not to drink more water!
Today I went to Centennial Garden with my dad. However, I didn’t have a camera with me except the one in my pocket: my iPhone 7 Plus!
