SHINee Eng Subbed Show Appearances Compilation Part 1

noreply@blogger.com (Ara Prado) — Thu, 13 Apr 2017 07:10:00 +0000

Hey, world! About a month back, I've discovered the awesomeness which is KPop. For those who aren't familiar with KPop, it's the universal term used to describe the Korean music industry, with KPop being short for Korean Popular Music.

KPop has been gaining more and more popularity internationally for years, and I only started to get into it because of a certain Korean actor/idol. His name is Choi Minho, a member of Korean idol group SHINee. SHINee is one of the biggest names in the industry at the moment, and I am currently obsessed with them. I listen to their songs and sing along with it (even though I can barely speak a lick of Korean), watch their energetic concerts on YouTube (because it's the only way I can be part of those amazing events), and I watch their TV show appearances.

But because the group debuted nine years ago, I have a bunch of catching up to do. And because I know that there are also a lot of other Shawols (fandom of SHINee) out there who might want to re-watch these videos or see them for the first time, I figured I'd make a compilation of the video resources for some of their most memorable TV appearances.

TAKE NOTE: These videos do NOT belong to me. I merely compiled them, and all credits are due to the owners, uploaders, and those who added subtitles.

Also, these videos are appearances where all or most of the members are present. I shall compile a different list for separate TV show appearances.

Lastly, all videos are English subbed, and I tried looking for only the best videos available at the moment. That's all. Enjoy!

5 Free Photo Editing Apps You Need to Try Right Now

noreply@blogger.com (Ara Prado) — Fri, 27 Jan 2017 15:50:00 +0000

Ah, Instagram. The social media giant that brings out the photographer in each and every one of us. Whether it's a nature pic, a flat lay or even a selfie, taking these well-staged pictures encourages us to tap into our artistic side.

However, we're not all gifted enough to be professionals nor do we all own a high-grade camera. That is why we should all be grateful for mobile photo editing apps! Now, with just a few taps and swipes, you can have flawless, high-quality pictures, every time.

To help you create more stunning, Instagram-worthy photos, I've listed 5 free mobile photo editing apps that you MUST use right now.

(Disclaimer: This is not a sponsored post, and all these apps are installed on my iPhone.)

1. Blend Editor - This fantastic app - as the name implies - lets you blend two pictures to create one stunning artwork.

For example, you can combine a portrait with a picture of nature to create a magnificent piece of art that takes no time at all. You can choose which images to put together, which one is dominant and how light or strong you want the contrast to be.

The free version gives you Classic and Skyscraper, and for about $5 USD you can unlock all the other categories like galaxy and scenery.

2. Typorama - I LOVE this app. In fact, I use this alongside Blend Editor to create book quotes for The Booksnake Etc. It's superb in its category as it lets you add creative text on top of images. And I'm not talking about low-grade text that's available in other photo editing apps. No. Typorama is so much better than that. As the example below proves.

Another thing I love about this photo editor is the abundance of text styles available. And it's just the free version! For the paid one, you get a few more styles plus you can remove the credit on the lower right part of your creation.

Tip: Tap on a text style multiple times to see more available options.

3. Darkr - If you're into vintage style photos, you would love this. This app lets you edit your pictures as if you're in a darkroom! Another fun option is using the in-app camera which is a lot like using old cameras with the film rolls that we all loved. And the best part? It actually comes out as a negative! It's fantastic.

The whole editing process takes more time than with other apps, but you're guaranteed to have a unique picture that will catch people's attention.

4. Adobe Photoshop Lightroom - It's an Adobe photo editor for your phone. Do we need to explain further? It's a simple, straightforward application that gives you consistently good pictures. There's not a lot going on in this mobile app, but it has all the essentials that will test your artistic abilities.

5. Foodie - Do you want to guess what this photo editing app is for? If you love food, like the rest of us, and you love taking quick snaps of dishes before devouring your meal, then Foodie is perfect for you. It has a vast collection of pre-set filters that are meant to make whatever you're eating even more delectable. At least on a picture. It's quick, easy, and effective. You can't say no to that.

You now have five more free mobile photo editing apps that you can add to your arsenal. Inspire creativity in yourself and others and share these with your friends today. Happy editing!

5 Ingredients of A Great Work Lunch

noreply@blogger.com (Ara Prado) — Mon, 02 Jan 2017 03:03:00 +0000

We can all admit that work can be stressful. And so most employees look forward to the reprieve brought by lunch. But how do you make the most out of this 1-hour break? Here's an easy 5-ingredient recipe for a wonderful work lunch.

1. Start with A Handful of Friends.

Some people prefer to separate their work life from their personal life. For them, this means setting a wall between co-workers and friends. But for the rest of us, the people who we spend at least eight hours a day, five days a week with, become more than just colleagues. They turn into friends and sometimes even our second family. And who better to share a meal with than with a bunch you get along with?

2. Two Cups of Great Food [To Share]

Filipinos aren't foreign to the idea of sharing food. In fact, this is the norm in the country. There's just something about tasting each one's packed lunch that brings a group of people closer together.

Before you say, "Germs, germs brings you closer together" know that you can choose to not take part in this time-honored tradition. But, as far as I'm concerned, unless the person you're eating with has a disease, you won't catch harmful bacterias. So you should be safe.

3. A Heaping Tablespoon of Good Vibes

There are many studies proving that how we perceive or taste food, can be affected by our mood or emotions. So it stands to reason, if you're happy and your entire group is too, the meal you share will taste so much better.

4. Slices of Great Conversation (Peel Off the Rants)

Ranting leads to negativity, which we've already established would not benefit your lunch break. So despite the stress you're faced with in the office, you best leave that ball of worry on your desk and instead take with you funny stories, new things you've learned and want to share with others, and engaging topics that everyone can enjoy or jump into.

Note: Keep the gossiping at a minimum.

5. Top Off with A Groufie

A 30-minute or 1-hour lunch break is a good way to reenergize you for the day. But memorialising your fun meal will always remind you that work and play can mix in harmony.
