Valentines Day...

Yup, I'm aware that Valentines Day is over.. but at least I'm here for a uber short post even though it's late~ 
I hope you had a good day with.. a significant other, boyfriend, girlfriend, family or even just friends in general
What did you do 2 days ago then? Tell me below ^_^
...What did I do then?
I sort-of went shopping, bought 3 dvds and 2 cds.


At HMV Breakfast at Tiffany's was on offer at a price of £2.99 with any purchase.. 

So, in order to 'validate' this, I bought 2 dvds - The Notebook and Confessions of a Shopaholic through the 2 for £10 offer.

As for the CDs, I took a trip to the local charity shop and managed to find a brand new copy of the West Side Story CD and a Catherine Jenkins CD (forgot name >_<)

I Recommend: Monet at Giverny

Monet at Giverny by Caroline Holmes

Recently I've been into reading art based books on impressionists.. the best one I've flicked through is Monet at Giverny - give it a try if you haven't read it ;)

Monet's quotes are printed every 2 pages or so, very inspiring ^___^

''I am chasing a dream, I want the unattainable. Other artists paint a bridge, a house, a boat; and that's the end. They've finished. I want to paint the air which surrounds the bridge, the house, the boat; the beauty of the air in which these objects are located; and that is nothing short of impossible. If only I could satisfy myself with what is possible!''
This quote for some reason brings me to tears everytime I read it.. yes, you guys may complain/whine to me that it's not normal for a typical teenager to be thinking and saying of these deep things..

This book contains over 140 illustrations, including paintings, engravings and garden views.

Happy Origami Rose Edition: A Review

‘Do you still remember the paper plane and origami crane in our childhood, which brought us a lot of good memories? The simple origami gave us endless happiness in our childhood. In our daily life, origami can still be seen everywhere. Each origami shows our deep affection, including a self-folded gift-packing for friends, a personally folded rose for sweetheart etc. Origami is a game without restriction of time and place. Only a common sheet of paper is required, then we can display our imagination and creativity. Let’s re-experience the simple happiness again through a sheet of paper.
Happy Origami Rose Edition will introduce the skills to fold a rose. Through video, it will show all the procedures briefly. You can follow our video and try yourself; you will work out a beautiful production. Using it as a daily decoration or a gift, it will shoe your kind-wished life attitude and your sincerity.’

Price: Free

File Size: 88.7 MB

In this edition of Happy Origami, it shows you how to fold a rose through video and soothing music (makes me fall asleep to be honest). The high quality video clearly presents the folding methods, but I did find that some steps were a little hard to understand.

Good Points:

High quality video

Shows ratings out of 5 (being the hardest)

It’s free!

Shows preparation work (e.g. what you need)

Downsides:

Too fast, particularly for a beginner… but then again that’s that the pause and rewind functions are for…


If you have this app or have tried it, what do you think?
P.S. This is perfect for Valentines Day! Make some to polish up your origami skills and give to your significant other~~ 

Update!

Hi all~~


As you may have noticed, this blog/website has a fresh new look! I'm now participating with Google and Amazon, hence the advertisements :) 
This means that I am earning a tiny amount per visit from you - University fees hehe


But on the plus side, I can manage the adverts (particularly with Amazon) to deliver genuine products I have tried and tested, to recommend to you all.


If you scroll down after reading this short message, I have a glimpse of the Amazon Associates aStore I constructed that has some products which I do like and would like to share with you~


Until next time, take care ^^
