Tying Neat Bows on Pressies

Thought I might share you this entry on gift-wrapping. I just love to give pressies to my buddies and loved ones. Some are small, some expensive. Nevertheless, I really do like to pay much attention on the presentation of the pressies. I'll make sure that they come in boxes and not just wrapped in any wrapping paper and the most particular thing is the bow that sits on top.

I like my bows to be big and fluffy just like the one on top. See, isn't it just stunning? Instead I find myself splurging money on useless things just coz I can't manage to make an exclusive bow. Yeah, it irritates me alot coz the price of the ribbon itself is expensive and the bow won't make it through long journeys on buses.





So I best thought that I should google up on how to make one myself. Pretty hard stuff finding it coz what is on the net are just basic bows that you tie on shoe laces.

The search took me to How to Tie a Tiffany Bow tutorial. Pretty~ but not what I was searching for.





Next was the How to Perfectly Wrap a Present for dummies. This link might help you guys who can't get the hang of wrapping the present. It's got lots of step-by-step instruction but only aided by one picture on each page so I don't know if it helps. Oh, but it does give you steps on how to wrap odd shaped presseies.





Lo-and-behold...


I eventually found the step by step instruction on how to tie the beautiful bow. It's in pdf format so all you need to do is just to download the link here on Gorgeous Gift Presentation. Like usual it links to the 4shared website. And yeah, it's easy to follow and it has other forms of bows and not just the ones I showed. This tutorial was taken from the Container~Stores website.





Happy gift-wrapping guys! :)

Fixing Executable File / Program

Have you ever had times when you accidently changed the property of the file and set it to open to another program? Well, I've had my fair share and it is just devastating. It was all because of a virus that attacked all my word documents.





The .doc files were unable to open as the virus changed it into an executable file instead of a document. So I stupidly enough thought it was a clever thing to change the files extension from .exe to .doc. but it was the biggest mistake that I did.







I end up messing the files all together. All the .exe programs started to open in Office Word which was pretty awful as nothing literally opened except for Word of course. As for the file that got devoured, well, I never managed to open it either.







 Things got panicky but fortunately I had my browser opened all that while. I started to google-up ways to fix it and after quite somewhile I stumbled upon this website that typically explains how to repair it. I forgot the URL. I was suspicious at first (Well, who isn't? I could've downloaded more virus and trojans instead) but gave it a try, otherwise I wuldn't be able to submit my report despite having to redo it all over again *sigh*.







And voila! To my astonishment, after I downloaded the file and ran it, it works. I mean a click of a button is all I had to do. There was a small popup prompting whether we want to open a website afterwards but that was really it. The size of the file is only 11Kb and click here for the link. Like always, it is linked to my 4shared account. If you're not sure how to download it, look up in MiniLyrics, Karaoke Lyrics for instructions.






All you need to do is download it, then run it and that is all. Good luck in fixing the problem ;)
