Despicable Me Plushie!



New companion in the car. Cute righttttt~~~~ Not overly big.

Dearie likes minions so I bought this for him. So funny...usually is the hubby or boyfriend buys for wife/gf......I buy for my hubby. (=.=)''''''''

Only S$9.90 from a newspaper kiosk near an MRT.


BeautyPlus App (Android)


Recently I came across this android phone app, BeautyPlus recommended by my friend on facebook.





And I'm really loving one of it's filters, call "Sweet". 

Not only it brightens and smooths out any graininess of your pictures as well as your skin with just 1 click(hee!), it gives this pinkish and sweet hue that makes it look kinda romantic(without looking overly blur and fake). =P


                                   Original                                                           Filter - Sweet             

In fact, dearie's complexion and skin tone is more like so in the filtered picture(he is pretty fair one).

Maybe not super sharp semi-pro/DSLR quality here, but since the pictures are taken with my Samsung Note 2, I'm already pretty satisfied with it. The other 3 filters which I like are; Natural, Fairy, Fresh.

If you wish for more control in skin smoothing, then there is the "Skin" icon, where you can adjust for "Smoother/Whitening/Tone" in varying degrees. I feel the effect is pretty natural too. =)


Edited with BeautyPlus ["Natural" filter + "Enlarger" on right eye(your left)]
Natural eh? Heh!

And I have to say I simply love the "Enlarger(Eye)" function. Not because I love to edit my eyes to be super big(I see no point to edit your pictures until you dont even look like yourself), BUT it's because most of the times when I smile, my eyes will shrink(mi-mi eyes, I'm trying to practice to smile without my eyes shrinking, or at least, have them shrink to the same size. =P) I guess this is pretty common, and I also cant do anything......... But the WORSE thing is, sometimes, not only do they shrink, they become 1 big 1 small. :~( That is just super SAD and UGLY. So I love this function because I can use it to enlarge my right eye(on your left), which is smaller than my left eye, so that they look the SAME size. (=.=)zzz. 

The difference in the appearance of the size is actually because of my double eyelid fold(one is higher while one is more inner). That is why you'll see even though I use the same falsies on both eyes, my left eye(the bigger eye, which is on your right) looks more prominent with "lashes" even though both eyes have the same falsies on. 

Usually I can use makeup to adjust so that they look the same size, but everytime when I smile...one big and one small again........Sigh.......might be the muscles or something..... =( Of course it's not overly obvious until I look like a freak la...but still obvious in pictures lo. By the way, angles means everything in photography. Usually pictures taken in this angle will make your eyes bigger and your face smaller. =P Granted....I dont always take selfies....maybe once in awhile. 

Well, anyway......I'm not one who always take pictures and I doubt the habit of using this app will lasts....but for the time being, I am indeed loving this app because it's very fuss-free and easy to use. Just choose 1 filter, enlarge my right eye by dotting on it once or twice and I'm done. =) Easy peasy. 

By the way, I did not "brighten" my eyes in this picture although there is this function(call Brighten I think) in this app. I suppose somehow the light were captured in my eyes? Hmm..................

If you've followed my blog long enough....you'll know I just prefer the "natural" style....no matter it's make-up...or any other thing else.....because I'm simply...so natural? Lol.

Anyway, I think you'll like this app too, it's free anyway. =) 

Oh by the way, another android app which I like lately is PhotoFancie, which I use to create collages as in my AUG 2013 favorites. I feel it's super flexible as you can control the sizing, the brightness/colour of the pictures as well as control the different sizing and arrangment of the collage size. 

Thanks for reading!

My naughty and vain Vickki



Photo: 它就是这样培 daddy. Keke!

Under the writing desk
它就是这样培 daddy de(as well as me sometimes =)
Keke!

Vickki's temperament is so....unlike normal dogs I feel. They always say the dog's personality take on the owner. Yeah I rather feel we are so alike in many ways. It's amazing that even our taste buds is so similar. The food I dont eat, she also dont eat; for e.g, corn, carrots, green peas etc. That undoubtedly is such a waste since I have to throw them away as WE die die dont eat them. Of course I dont specially go buy the food which I dont like but these are the few common stuff which are ALWAYS in fried rice. Like WHY huh??? Sometimes when I give her my food, for e.g, that fried rice, she'll pick out the rice to eat but stubbornly left all the corn/carrots/green peas behind. Dearie saw it and was astounded, "Wah lau why her pattern exactly like you?" Lol

Anyway that was last time; we hardly feed her human food especially rice now after I realized she got yeast infection. I'm sorry for giving her such a boring diet but simply because there's too many things she's allergic to.

Her temperament can be as different as night and day. Sometimes she can be so affectionate(performing "lion dance" for you when you're back home), sometimes just subtly tender(like the above picture, simply stays close to you quietly) but yet can be so attitude and dao1(haughty) when she's grumpy or something(wont come to you no matter how many times you call her). She's very smart and knows exactly what should be done and what shouldnt so. But yet when she's throwing a tantrum to get attention, she will deliberately do them(like shitting on the floor instead of in the toilet or pee tray) and then stay still to let you smack while still looking like a queen. That expression, was classic~ She wont even run. She'll just stay still and look at you defiantly. She's very smart at picking up what we prefer her to do, somehow. She has always been playpen/pee-tray trained. But some time after, we prefer her to do her business in the common toilet as it's easier to clean up with less hassle. And she picked it up after few days that we PREFER her to use the toilet. Lol. 

Back at my old house, I even let her up my bed. After some time, I went out. After I'm back, I simply shoo her down my bed(I cant sleep with her as I have asthma, afraid of her fur) and slept on my own(my pillows were still at their usual positions lying down). Guess what, the next morning I woke up and plopped UP my pillows, then I realized there is her SHIT under my pillow. *faint* Dont ask me why I didnt smell anything, maybe somehow the shit had dried up or something...or maybe I'm simply too shag to notice.....Nahz....whichever is the case, apparently she plopped UP my pillows, SHIT, then use my pillows to hide her SHIT in a very "natural" way(my pillows were at my normal sleeping positions, that's why I didnt feel anything amiss)

Can you imagine her nerve???!!! 
Then imagine my wrath!!!

She always attract lots of attention from strangers. Like when I'm strolling with her on the streets/park, people will just come and cuddle her. (=.=)'''' Even dogs will run towards her despite their owner's commands and smell her etc. And she's like not the least afraid. But neither is she passionate. She'll simply stop walking and look with curious eyes. She's mostly cool to strangers(not friendly but not unfriendly either). And is only passionate to me, dearie, mummy, Xiang brother and my dear neighbour who dotes on her so much. My neighbour, a very kind auntie, has 2 Maltese on her own. Once in awhile, she will buy Vickki toys. She most probably feel I'm ill-treating Vickki. Lol. 




I cant tell you how vain she is actually. Actually she's more vain in the past, since she's like 6 years old this year already. Last time, when I snap pictures of her, she will purposely lean her weight on 1 leg, making some sort of a pose. Just like human like that lor. Damn funny! Just like this picture below, she was 2 years old then. =)



See her legs? Posing OK!


Then hor, whenever I'm snapping pictures of something, she will insists coming into the picture despite I continuously gently pushed her away. (=.=)''' Zzzz Just like this picture.



(P/S Vickki insists on coming into the picture. See her determined face? =P)
Eventually I relented and let her stay inside the pic. (=.=)'''''''''''''

Shorter haircut - innocent look


Now that she's older, she's less vain. She will be less enthu if we snap pictures of her. She always have the habit of swinging her tail(in a wiper sort-of way, left right left right) ALL DAY LONG especially when she's lying on the floor. When I snap pictures of her, I will usually say, "One....two....three!" then I snap. Then despite looking all bo-chup and disinterested, SOMEHOW her tail will stay STILL in the middle at the count of "three". It's as though somehow she knows we're snapping her pictures so her tail will stop swinging for that 2 seconds. As soon as the pic is taken, she will continue to swing her tail like a wiper. I tried this few times liao, always like that. And it only works when you're using a camera to snap her pic. She dont really recognize a handphone. I meant to video the whole thing but she's too smart for that; she will continue to swing her tail despite the count of 3. Dearie said it might be because camera will have some lights when a pic is taken(even with no flash)? Maybe one of us have to secretly video her when one is snapping her pic. Only then the whole scene can be recorded.

Damn funny la! I know....no other pet can ever take her place because she's just so unique in her own ways....hope she can live as long as I do...
