in case you missed it…

Here’s a picture I took and edited on my iPhone with Snapseed (wrote about this app on my iPad post)

Almost at 2500 views on my blog! Exciting! I started this blog in October last year because writing a public blog is something I’ve always wanted to do. Throughout high school, I had a private blog where I wrote about my day to day life and usual drama of those teenage years. They were so embarrassing and I can’t believe I started linking the blogs to Facebook so all of my Facebook friends could read them… I recently realized that those posts were still visible on my page so I spent 15 minutes deleting all 400 posts because they were that embarrassing.

I found that the fastest way to delete Notes on Facebook (or friends) is through the Facebook app on your iPhone. Just swipe over a note (or an ex-friend) and delete. It’s way more time consuming to do it on the Facebook website oddly enough.

On a side note… I am looking for new TV shows to watch. I watched the pilot episode of 2 Broke Girls and haven’t decided if I like it or not. I guess I don’t if I have to think about it. Any suggestions?

First semester is finally over but now it’s time to buckle down and re-learn everything…. My exam schedule is kind of weird this term. I’ve got 2 exams on the 7th and 2 exams on the 17th but at least they are distributed well because my difficult classes are on separate days.

Anyways, good luck studying and if you need a break, browse through this week’s posts!

• Taking your grad photos soon? Here’s my advice based on my own experience this past week
• Maximize product use with a simple snip
• Things I wish I had done differently this semester 
• The faux fur IKEA rug I’ve always wanted
• My advice before getting a body piercing (also based on my own nose piercing experience)

I watched 50/50 last night and Marlow seemed to enjoy it too. It was a pretty good movie – highly recommend! Not the best quality because it was a DVDrip quality torrent. I am using the HDMI cable that I ordered from Dealextreme (see past post here) and it’s been working well. I’ve used it with HDMI movies and the quality is pretty good.

Here’s a picture of my cat Marlow which I am sharing for no particular reason.  Saved him from the SPCA about 3 weeks ago after being in the shelter for about 5 months. He’s the nicest cat I’ve ever met.  Don’t worry, my other cat Dakotah is still alive and kicking at 16 years old. She’s just not as patient (or nice) as Marlow.
