Picasa 2 Tutorial

I love using Picasa to do my Photo edits. I use Picasa especially when I am in a hurry and I want to share my photos with family and friends. I have started using Picasa early this year since I started using Mini Notebooks(I used an HP Mini 2140) early this year. I used it a lot because Photoshop couldn't run well on a mini-notebook and it was a lot easier to use when one is in a hurry. I found it best when you didn't have to do any major editing. I even played around with its video maker and was quite impressed with what it was able to do. Now I must admit that Photoshop is still the best but if you simply want to use something simple and is looking for a software that wouldn't be so taxing with your computer, Picasa would be your natural option.

I have found a cool video playlist on Youtube that can teach you how to use Picasa. I myself found it very useful.

Merry Xmas :)

Hi Peeps,

I just wanted to take this time of the year to say thank you so much for being there for me. For inspiring me and showing me new things that constantly feed my mind. But with all that aside, I want to thank you most of all for the friendship that you have shared with me regardless of distance. You are always treasured here with me.

Merry Xmas and May more Blessings come your way.

Thank You all so much :) xoxo

Have you lost your innocence?

According to researchers, if you see two couples intertwined in a passionate embrace rather than the dolphins you have already lost your innocent mind. Worse is if you can't find the dolphins - your mind is absolutely perverted :-P so tell me can you find the dolphins?

Anime Recommendation: Chrono Crusade

I just finished watching this anime series from AnimeUltima and I am happy to say that the show was really fun and dramatic to watch. I loved every single episode as one gets to see the main characters grow and develop each day in terms of belief, faith, love and friendship.

Plot:
Chrono Crusade is set in the height of the Roaring Twenties, where jazz is king, bootleg liquor flows freely, and the mob rules the streets. It is a time of prosperity, luxury and decadence, and the division between rich and poor grows even wider in the wake of the First World War. It is at such times of great change and upheaval that the dark things that lurk below the world of man can come to the surface. In the world of Chrono Crusade, a fictional organization known as the Order of Magdalene (or more specifically, the characters of Sister Rosette Christopher and her soul-bound demon partner, Chrono) exists to fight the demonic threats that appear with increasing regularity across America. Both Rosette and Chrono are revealed during the course of the story to be driven by a shadowy past, centered around a search for Rosette's lost brother, Joshua. Joshua is shown to have been taken from her by the sinner, Aion, a devil who shares a dark and bloody history with Chrono, and seeks nothing less than to overthrow Heaven and Earth.

here is a part of the first episode for you to see and hopefully get hooked on :)

Alice in Wonderland

There is this cool movie that I can't wait to get to watch this season. Alice in Wonderland by Walt Disney. It is in full 3d and Mr. Depp is of course the reason why many are seeking to watch this movie. I don't want to spoil much as to what one is to expect from the movie but here is a trailer that is definitely going to tease yah into watching it too :)

Xmas Pressure

Xmas is both a fun and sad part for me this year. Fun because we get to see all of our close friends and relatives and get to spend time with them and to give and receive gifts from the heart. Sad because as of writing this article I am flat broke. It really wasn't easy to see my check with a lot of tax deductions right next to when Xmas is starting. I have to be honest that right now am baffled as to how am going to get through this holiday season. Why am I broke? It because of all the bills that I have to pay from the credit card purchases to utility bills. Sigh, the lifestyle here in the big city is pretty tough. I guess from today I really have to work triple hard in earning extra cash. Blogging is a source that I have found to have given me an extra income from and it has gained popularity with my peers and more. For that I am grateful. I guess with the year ending I have to learn to balance my finances a little better and make sure that I have savings put aside for emergency situations like this. :)

Anime Feast :) - Best Online Resource

I love watching japanese anime, even if all i can do is to simply listen watch and read the subtitles. There is a lot about anime that I like, for one it helps me get away from the real world even for just awhile and to unwind. I find it filled with funny antics and drama all mixed into one. I know that I am not alone in this either since a lot of these are aimed towards an older audience.

There is a lot of moral lessons too within each of these particular shows. From loyalty, faith and trust and of course the power of love and friendship. Other times there really isn't anything but just sheer fun as the reason as to why I want to watch these Japanese Mangas come to life.

A lot of people have asked me where is the best place to watch these type of animations without having to worry about missing an episode of a show. I found at first that Youtube.com is a fairly good resource in this field but you have to be a little patient and creative in the way that you want to find them. More often each episode is chopped up into 2 or three parts and finding the youtube channel that has the complete series can give you that challenge. If you are going to use youtube it is best to start with the title then the episode number(you can get the episode numbers in wikipedia.org) followed by the words part 1.

Here is an example: Naruto episode 1 part 1. You can also indicate english at the end to see if you can get those dubbed in english.

The other is through a membership website that is known to get the telecast premier before everyone else gets to see it. The website that does this is crunchyroll.com. Non-members can still watch some of the episodes though only members get to see all of their archives as well as get to watch the premier showing of the popular episodes. But unlike in youtube, you dont have to look for all three parts of an episode since they show full episodes and you can get to see a picture preview of each of them.

The last site that I am going to mention is something that I am hooked to right now since they have a pretty extensive list of episodes of different animes from A-Z and more. There are some with missing episodes though to some of their titles due to distribution laws but a lot of them are complete and up to date. The website is animeultima. I discovered this particular site while watching a youtube channel and saw that their collection was pretty clear and best of all complete. The website itself is a social website that you can join in and enjoy. You can even leave comments and reviews of the animation you are watching.

I do know that there are many more sites out there. The internet is a huge place to be in, so I guess if you are reading this and you know of other sites that are like the ones that I have mentioned where anime lovers can converge and watch together please please tell :) Till the next time. :) xoxo
