I've also been loving other games!

So recently I've been experimenting with Adobe products and while I was trying to edit a video in Premiere Pro CC I thought I wanted to put some kind of intro or opening or something in the beginning. So I looked up some tutorials and I found a video where a guy basically copies the Disney intro in After Effects but writes his own production name.

I thought it was really cool and I tried it out myself and let me tell you.. it took so freaking long? Wtf? 

It's not like it's extremely hard but keep in mind that I've never ever used After Effects and this is the first thing that I did with it. I could've also started with watching beginner tutorials but pshhh where's the fun in that? ●.◉
It already took a long time to actually make this stupid opening (idk how long exactly) and I even had to stop for one day because something went wrong while I was adding the Particle Trail but the upload is what took the longest... I wanted to share it with people, right? I had to upload it. It took me 4 whole hours to upload a stupid 3 second video..?! What?!

But it's up now and I'm kinda proud of it - I mean it's the first thing I've ever done with After Effects!

It's on YouTube too but it's not listed so no one can see it unless they have a link.

Here it is.

It doesn't even have sound - I know. The guy in the video didn't explain how to do it so I have no idea either. I might mess around with the plug ins I have now and see if I can add some sounds.

If you wanna watch the tutorial I watched, click here.

On a personal note here -

I finally got a new mouse 〜(^∇^〜）My old one broke and I couldn't really use it. 
Also, finals are right around the corner and my grades are not looking good. And I'm worrying about my future, because I can't get an apprenticeship. I'm gonna live under a bridge. 

See ya♥

[WARNING: MAY OFFEND SUPER RELIGIOUS PEOPLE]

Hey Guys

I quickly want to rant about something that I saw a few months ago on Twitter. Why do I bring it up now? I forgot about it lol And now that I heard something related to this it came to my mind again.

First of all - I don't mean to offend anyone by this I just want to clarify something on behold of people in my and other kinds of situations. So if you are super religious and you get offended very easily, don't read further, alright? Alright.

To get to the point:

Back then when I actually used to check my Twitter I saw that Lindy Tsang aka Bubzbeauty started following a guy. I forgot what he is called (sorry). 

Basically, in his bio (or in a twitter post) he stated that we MUST forgive ourselves, because God does and if we don't forgive ourselves it's like putting ourselves on a higher tribunal than him. 

That instantly made me mad. Maybe he is trying to make others feel better and make them forgive themselves for what they've done. 
All I got from that is that if you did something (maybe hurt someone you love or you made a bad decision in your life, something that you regret and is haunting you) and you can't forgive yourself for that - you think you're better than God. 

I wish he knew that forgiving is not something that people can do easily when they went through a hard time. I know that too well and if he said that to my face I would've kicked his ass to Mexico. I did a lot of bad things in my life and no I can't forgive myself for a lot of it. Does that mean I think I'm better than God? Do I think my decisions are better? No.
It means that I am too HURT and too ANGRY to forgive myself and/or others. 

By saying what he said, I get the feeling that he is one of those really religious people who are ignorant and don't care about others, they literally only care about themselves and God. 

If I could forgive myself, I would. If others could forgive themselves, they would. This is not a choice most of the time. It takes a lot of work, hurting, a strong will and such to forgive. 
Things that people don't get just by someone who talks crap.

I hope I didn't offend anyone but this had to be said. I wish people would understand that it's very hard and a lot of people can't forgive themselves or others. Never. That has got nothing to do with God.

That's all.

Here's a little peace and quiet after that rant. It was a rainy day and I absolutely love those days (๑・ω-)～♥”

(PS.: Does someone know how I can change the quality in Blogger? My videos are never that pixely when I edit them)

Hey Guys!

I decided that I want to continue on Blogger.


Wordpress is just not the right thing for a student like me. You have to pay a lot of money just to be able to customize your themes and all that good stuff. I'm just a poor little student (who's also very cheap), that's why I'm choosing to be on Blogger. All my previous posts are still available here since I imported them from my hard drive. It would have killed me if I had to post them all again even though I only have a few posts up.

I'm looking forward to this!

And yes, I know that I have to edit my template. The menu doesn't work still, please be patient I'm trying to figure out how to delete a few parts of it lol


See ya!♥

Hey Guys!

I thought I'll try something different today by showing you how to take better Selfies!
Now I'm by no means a Selfie Expert... but I take WAY better Selfies now than I did back then when i first started.

So, the first thing you want to do is make sure you have good lighting. The really well known and good bloggers have ringlights but any normal person could just use natural lighting which is always nice, or go to a room that has good lighting.

The next thing you wanna do is hold up your camera or phone in a good angle and height. You obviously don't want to hold your phone underneath your face that just gives you very unflattering angle and also double or triple chins. I like to hold my phone high and moves my face to the right side a bit. You have to see for yourself which side looks better, because the face isn't symmetrical, one side will always look better than the other.
Also, if you are using your phone you should know that the front facing camera isn't as good as the back camera when it comes to quality. But not seeing myself when I take a Selfie is a huge pain in the butt so I don't really mind.

Now, you can decide if you want to choose a live filter while you are taking the Selfie or edit it later. I always edit it later since the live filters of the iPhone for example aren't that pretty to me.

After you've taken the picture you can either upload it as it is ooor you can be smart and edit it. You don't have to have Photoshop or anything like that. There are apps for that. Duh.

I have a lot of apps of my phone - I'm an app junkie. So I know a few Photo Editing apps. I don't use all of them since that would be way too much but you can check them out and see if you like any of them.

!All apps are from the App Store!

---

1. Facetune (3,99€ in Germany, $3.99 in USA)I love this app. This has got to be the first app I use after I take a Selfie. You can do a lot of cool things with this but don't overdo it. When I have a big ass pimple on my forehead or something doesn't quite look right, I use this to edit it. You can cover up things, move things around, smooth out your skin, whiten your teeth, etc.
It does cost a few bucks but it is definitely worth every penny!

2. Enlight (3,99€ in Germany, $3.99 in USA)This app allows you to do a lot. You can change the lighting, the exposure, etc...  Basic stuff. And it also has a lot of cool filters, you can skew the picture, reshape things, put cool effects on your pictures, aaand a lot of fun stuff. I always use the Instafit option, because I hate the fact that Instagram always crops your pictures.
This is the second app I use and 99% of the time this is all I do. I just use those two apps and put my picture up on Instagram. If this is not enough for you - I got more.

3. Aviary (Free)
This is my favorite free app. Well one of them. Aviary allows you to enhance your pictures with just one tap depending on what's on the picture (food, portrait, scenery,...). You can choose between many many effects and stickers, you can remove blemishes, add texts, whiten your teeth, and so on. When I first downloaded it years ago it wasn't as good as it is now but now I can't live without it anymore. Definitely worth checking out!

4. Pomelo (Free)
With Pomelo you can't remove any blemishes or anything beauty related like that but it offers you beautiful filters and editing options. I just took a picture of my boring room to check it out and to be honest it turned it into a pretty nice picture. It's free, you got nothing to lose!

5. MeituPic (Free)
This is definitely one I use a lot too, because it has everything you need. You can edit the picture (lighting, ...) and you can also retouch your Selfie if you need to make yourself prettier. The whole Beauty section is awesome, you can slim yourself down, lighten your under eye area, make your eyes bigger, make yourself taller and improve your skin texture! If you don't want to waste your money on anything I would highly suggest this app!

6. Rhonna Designs (1,99€ in Germany, $1.99 in USA)
This app does cost a lot of money if you really want to use to it's full extend so I would only suggest buying it if you are really into photo editing! You can add beautiful art to your picture which you do have to buy. You can also add filters and stuff but honestly I don't use those options in that app, because the other apps are better. But the artwork is really cool! Not a must though.

7. Kawaii Photo (Free)
This is quite nice if you want to add cute stickers to your picture. It also has the same or almost the same editing option as Aviary. I don't know if it's the same developer or not but I think it's fun to mess around with it. Not a must either.

8. Picframe (0,99€ in Germany, $0.99 in USA)
This app let's you combine all your pictures quickly and easily! You have a few options and you can even mirror your pictures if you like that effect. I would definitely recommend it and I think it's worth the money!

9. Typesetter (0,99€ in Germany, $0.99 in USA)
This app is, as it suggests, mainly for adding texts to your photos. It has many fonts and I'm sure you can make your pictures look even better and it's worth the money. If you like to add texts then this is definitely for you!

10. Photoshop (Forget about College)I knoooow, I know... But it had to be on the list. I don't think I need to say anything to this, do I? It has everything.

Buuut, if you don't want to spend all of your money on Photoshop there is a free alternative!

11. Xiuxiu Meitu (Free)
This is my favorite Desktop program when it comes to beauty. It has everything. There is one little problem though - it's all in Chinese. So if that bothers you and you can't deal with it, don't download it but you can give it a try, right? I can use it with no problems, so you should be able to do it too. I really highly suggest it!

Those are not all apps I have but honestly I have way too many and I think those are enough since I don't even use all of my apps.

After you edited your picture to your satisfaction you can upload it to Instagram or Facebook or whatever and show everyone how great you are!

---

Please don't overdo the editing though! You are beautiful as you are, you don't need to to make yourself look like a completely different person.

---

That's all I have to say for now. I f you want you can check out my last blog post about DIY Pore Strips.
I hope you have a lot of fun taking Selfies now!

See ya!♥

Hey Guys!

Today, I have a DIY Pore Strip for you. I've seen it on Pinterest and it works so I wanted to put it up on my blog too :)

---

- 1 Tsp unflavored gelatin
- 1 1/2 - 2 Tsp Milk

And that's it!

You're gonna mix the gelatin and the milk together and then microwave it for about 10-15 seconds (depending on your microwave) to get it to a more liquid state, so you can actually apply it to your face.

After you get it out of the microwave, you have to immediately put it on your face (but don't burn yourself), because that mask is a b***h and it will turn to gelatin very quickly. You can apply it only on your nose or wherever you need it or you can put it on your whole face but BEWARE: When I did this the first time I wish people would have told me (or I would've read the whole blog post) that that stuff also removes your hair. It hurts, trust me. So don't put it on your eyebrows! Or your eye area!

Then you just wait for 15 minutes or longer until you can grab a piece of the mask and start peeling it off. I would've had more fun with that if it didn't hurt so much. Boo.

But there you go! Really easy, really cheap. I would suggest to apply a soothing mask afterwards, like the Clay Mask that I blogged about a while ago.

I'm sorry if this wasn't all that interesting but honestly I'm having such a hard time with school right now. I mean I totally failed my math exam. I'm so stressed with finals it's ridiculous.
Midway through the exam I just stopped and looked into the distance. I just gave up. Like wtf is this, do you think I'm Einstein? Jeez.. And I usually get A's in maths. I don't understand. F*cking hell.

Oh and a while ago I found an old blog that I started when I was like 13 or 14. I called my blog Ms Invisible, because "I felt like that's who I am". Clearly that was my emo time. Glad that's over.
Needless to say I immediately deleted it. But I have to say that back then I really was more creative. I even put up videos on my blog. I should start doing that again.

Anyway, I see you next time with a better post!

See ya!♥

Guys!

[WARNING: RANT]

So yesterday I was "blocked" from Instagram. I've been liking too many pictures in a short period of time and they just reset my stupid password. Would be okay but now I CAN'T ACCESS MY F*CKING INSTAGRAM ANYMORE

They are supposed to send me an email with my new password but I'm not receiving any emails from Instagram. That is a problem because I liked my Instagram account and I really want to use it again. Can't log in with facebook either, because I never connected the two. Are you kidding me.

Get your sh*t together Instagram. If you reset my password for my security that's one thing but IF you do that, you should at least make sure that that person can ACTUALLY get their new f*cking password.

If you wanna follow my new Instagram click here --> @nosypanda
I'm still not sure if I should repost all of my posts I made on the other account.. I probably will repost some. Probably not all, that's so much work ˚‧º·(˚ ˃̣̣̥᷄⌓˂̣̣̥᷅ )‧º·˚

That's it. If some of you had this problem before and know how to fix it please help.

Bye.
