August BuJo Theme

 my August theme is here!!

Glad this one finished in the first few days of August, unlike my July's. I actually search for ideas a week before July ends. coz I don't want what happened in July, happened again in August.

I came across two themes on youtube that I thought would be easy for me to follow or recreate;

1. F.R.I.E.N.D.S. by Temi Danso Art

I feel like this one is noice. Umbrella and tri-color. also FRIENDS.

2. Kites by SheDoodles

this one terlalu simple. I mean, just drew kites. but the color a bit dull? I know I can change them to fit my feel.

I keep going back and forth with this two themes. I wanted to start the 'base' even before August started but I keep putting it off. I guess I was waiting for Amanda's theme. 

3. Studio Ghibli by AmandaRachLee

I mean, I'm no artist. I can try but I also don't want to stress about it. and also, if you read too much into her videos, I can't really relate. I don't grow up with Ghibli's movies. I only started watching them last year with Spirited Away and I was 31. So, no. I can't relate. it's still a beautiful theme and I wish I have the guts to pursue recreating it but no.

that was when I decided to go with the Umbrella theme by Temi. I tried to 'fully' recreate her theme but like I mentioned, I don't want to stress so I improvised. It'd still be umbrella and I enjoy her color scheme too. I just have to change it up a little. also, Brunei is in rainy season now. it's fitting.

look how vibrant! I start preparing on the night of 4th Aug and began to finish them on the 5th Aug. 

I even made a little video. which I hope I can share here. (plis internet, be good). 

I tried to video my July theme as well but I made a huge mistake with that one. so I discarded them. not gonna dwell too much on that mistake and move on.

Can you believe that its already August? you would think the pandemic slowed down the time. I guess not.

Hope everything is well with you and your family. stay healthy and safe, everyone.

New Face

So, Instagram has a new face aka App Icon.

From this --v

To this --v

personally, I hate it.

coz old Instagram logo/icon is unique.

why mesti drg change?

Facebook, Twitter, WhatApps and  LINE all have been around long and had been thru a lot of upgrades, but masih pun drg maintain drg punya 'logo'.

Believe me, I'm not the only one who thinks so. 

for me, the old logo is awesome and they should've kept it.

I am so paning right now

It's been ages since I last seen my hotmail via laptop/website.

and today, because of some emailing issue, I ended up using the website version of hotmail using my laptop. 

boy was I surprised and confused.

I'm not some IT savvy person and anything i did manage to do on the internet are mostly basic. I  mean, REALLY fcking basic. (eg, this blog design. I used Templates!)

So, when hotmail kept asking me to send a 'security code' to 'purple.and.lime@hotmail.com' mail, I was like, "Oh, 'purple and lime' ani sample email kali".
It's not.
it hits me, after several tries, that I OWNED purple.and.lime@hotmail.com!
I don't remember why I made it. probably out of 'sakai-ness'. you know, since at that time, making a hotmail account is so darn easy. maybe. I don't know. seriously, I have no idea!
and then when I tried to change it, came out another email address that reads 'pu****@hotmail.com' (Yes, cematu kana buat.. I don't know kana censored kh apa kh.. I know, what the hell right?)
I'm so confused!
why on earth did I make this weird hotmail accounts?!

but luckily, after a few more headaches figuring out this 'Outlook', I managed to get thru all the securities and updated it. Once that's done, I decided to clean my inbox.

clearly i didn't 'clean' much using my phone (coz usually, I open my mail and delete everything).

and along the way, I unsubscribe to this hmv newsletter (again, wtf face). When? How? Why?

I unsubscribe to any update from my youtube account too.

and here's the bizarre one; Twitter account.

i was on my way to disable my email notification when it asked me to log in and when I did, a message came out saying 'there is a suspicious activity going on' and it asked for some security questions.
then aku realized yg the display pic wasn't mine and I was hit the second time.
I've changed (via my phone) my username from Vengeance to AjeerahAwang a while back.
the funny thing is, why it let me thru in the beginning when I keyed in Vengeance with my current password?
I refreshed the page and keyed in the correct account name and password and everything went back to normal. Lucky we didn't panic - Ronald Weasley, Philosopher's Stone.

this whole thing is such a nerve wrecking experience! 
I know, I know. to some, this might be something of small matter. 
but for me, it is such a big matter.
maybe because, I still love my hotmail ID. it's childish, yes, but it holds a lot of memories that are sooooo me, made by me, for me. 
I don't know how else to explain it but I wish to hold on to something that is me 10-15 years ago coz it feels like I'm losing me these days.

ENOUGH WITH SOPPY THINGS!

on a brighter note, Pottermore Sorting is back!!
and I'm still a proud Badger!



Hufflepuff - Where They Are Just and Loyal!

I know I still owe you guys the story behind my DIY phonecase too.
