Video Stuff - Toddlers and Tiaras Parody

There is this new craze about Toddlers and Tiaras going on at channel TLC. However, there's a debate going on how kids should be kids and how much make-up they have on. Regarding that, during an interview at Jimmy Kimmel Live, Tom shares his experience being a "pageant dad" and how he prepares his "daughter", Sophie for the show. Have a good laugh!

Video Stuff - Angry Birds Live

T-Mobile decided to promote its phones by teaming up with the ultra-popular Angry Birds game. The promotion was done by setting up a real life game of it where it starts on a phone would be translated to a giant-sized version of the game.


Below is the behind the scenes video of how they came up with the idea and how the made it possible. Really cool! They even hired a 12-piece brass band orchestra to play the remix of the Angry Birds music while the crowds enjoy the life-sized game. Not for getting the sound effects the Angry Birds make and also the grunts of pigs. Genius! Enjoy!

Looking for new fonts

I just love to look at adverts. Although I am not into designing, I find myself criticising on ads or packaging that does not appeal to my interest. One of the main factor wold have to be the fonts used.









Erk..where am I heading off to? Actually I wanted to tell you guys about this particular website that I love to go fishing for fonts. Yup, fonts. I started to like the different designs of fonts when I wanted to use them in my power point presentation. I hoped that by using different fonts it would've standed out a little better than all the rest and it did work...for those who have an eye for design though...






So, here's the link. Btw, as I'm blogging this, the webpage can't seem to load but I will let you guys now when their okay.






Below are some of the names of fonts that I like:
-Bleeding Cowboys
-ABite
-28 Days Later
-Riesling
-Top Secret
-Velocity
-Samarkan
-Capture It
-Champagne & Limousines






I haven't had the time yet to show you what it looks like because I don't have much time this morning to do so but I will update this post to let you guys see the sample of the fonts above and I will also post a tutorial on how to download and install the fonts to get it working for you. Just hope that the site will load so that I can show you how *fingers crossed* :)

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! :)
