How to upload songs to your iPhone

Hi guys.

Not related but I wanted a good thumbnail LOL

let's thank my nephew for giving me the inspiration to make this post today 25th May (and will be scheduled to post in June 😉). 
I mean, this was not the first time people ask me about how to download songs for their iPhone but today is the first time I thought of doing this.
So, let's start.

but before that,
This guide is for people who didn't want to buy songs via iTunestore app and only wanted to download the "free" one. and we all know we can't just download them directly to our iPhone.
Also, please take note that I'm a window and Google chrome user. My steps may differ for mac users.


Step 1.
You must have a computer or laptop. not to discourage you or anything, but if you have neither, I can't help you.

you might be thinking, "what if I borrow someone else's computer?" ...continue to read below..

Step 2.
Download iTunes for your computer here.

when finished downloading, you should see this on your desktop.

Step 3.
Google and download your songs.
Here's one example of where I download my kpop songs

Of course, you can always Google whatever song you wanted to download. but please, only download from trusted websites and at your own discretion!

Once downloaded, the files should go to your 'Download Folder'. or if you're not sure, you can always check that bottom strip (as pictured)

Step 4.
FINALLY to the iTunes part.
Open your iTunes and it's time to fill you iTunes with songs you already downloaded.
Click, File, then Add Files to Library, pick your songs, and click Open.

Your songs should be seen in the Recently Added tab/folder.

Step 5.
Once all your songs uploaded in your itunes, it's time to upload them to your iPhone!

Connect your iPhone with your computer via USB and your iTunes will automatically connect and began syncing.

CAUTION! if this is your first time connecting your iPhone to your computer and iTunes, there will be a notification pop-up on your iPhone and you need to accept that first or your iPhone will fail to connect.

Step 6.
Once your iTunes finished syncing with your iPhone, you can now check your iPhone's Music app and your songs should all be in there.

and you are done! 👏

When you have more to add, repeat Steps 4 and 5, and then click on your iPhone icon in the iTunes and click Sync. coz if you don't click that Sync, nothing will happen. 
Always remember to click Sync and Apply whenever asked.

To answer the "what if I borrow someone else's computer and iTunes?"
the thing about iPhone that everybody should know by now is that, it can't be duplicate. or it can but it can't be maintain.

Let me explain: 
my iTunes already sync to my iPhone. So, when other iPhone connect to my iTunes, yes, that new iPhone can be sync and have all my existing song lists but the moment that new iPhone have any update, and is updated, everything from my iTunes in that iPhone will be gone. 

ALSO, when that new iPhone sync with my iTunes, that new iPhone will have all my info as well, since my iTunes is my iPhone back up, and we don't want that, do we? 
So, for security reasons, I will never again help people that way (I helped 2 people like this in the past 😐)

in conclusion, if you don't have your own computer for your own iTunes, this is guide is not for you.

but no worries!

they have Spotify now. I have not try it. but you can stream your songs there. I believe it uses data? I'm not sure. Check it out here.

I'm sure there are of other ways to listen to songs. You just have to Google it. Make Google your bestfriend! 😂

I hope this guide is simple enough for beginners but if it's not so, you can always comment below and I will try to help you some more 😉

Until next time,

Ja ne~~

pending DIY Project no.2

anndddddddd
here's another one.

this was done the Saturday (3rd Dec) before the Sunday (4th Dec) I went to Miri.

I've been putting off my Japan journal for so many times but that Saturday, I was feeling rajin and finally making an effort to start.
but as I was trying to make DIY pockets to attach in my current journal, I figured, my pockets will be too big for my current journal.
So I decided to make my own journal.

My sister shared me a video on FB and I watched it once before I started mine
but now when I look for it, the video was deleted.
like, *feeling so lost right now*

So, I guess, I'll just share my pictures then.

the video was actually a DIY photo album, with crafty/deco feel about it (suddenly lupa what it really calls XP)
but i figured, i could make it into a journal, however ways I want to be, right?

First, I cut off two set of manila paper as a front and back cover, making sure they are slightly bigger than a certain 'special' map.
after that I cut another smaller piece of manila card for the spine.
In the video, the lady actually used some hard board card for the cover and spice but since I don't know where I could find one here in Brunei, I just used the next best thing, manila card. they're tougher than normal paper anyway.

Next,
I attached all three paper using a colored paper (yellow), so that it'd be easier to bend.

then I used simple wrapping paper to cover the front and back.

I didn't capture the moment when I cut the paper off, only when I already wrapped them.

after that I made inner spines thingy.

the measurement was like, the bottom most is 14cm, the one after is 13.5cm, next is 13cm, after that 12.5cm and so on.
I think you can make how ever many you want. I made 16 pieces.
in the video, the lady made them with colored papers all the way but I only have a few colored papers, so I alternate mine with normal white paper.

Selepas itu, I  bend the paper like so

in the video, I'm supposed to bend like 2cm from outside edge of the paper. but what I actually did was bend the paper in half, and then bend again half on each side. 
LOL
after I finished bending, I can see where my mistakes were.
but I was lazy to amend and I began gluing these pieces to the spine.

I used double-sided tape. 
In the beginning, for the spine, I used some white glue but since it took ages to dry,
I used the double-sided tape, like the one the lady used (excessively) in the video.
turns out, her ways were a lot easier and faster LOL

few more pieces and I ran out off tape.

So, I went out to buy some. LOL sanggup~

this is the finish products.

Well, for the base, at least.

I'm supposed to attached paper on the spine. but since I havent got my Japan pictures printed yet, 
I decided to left it as it is for now.

Yatah jua tu nah. pasal 'cuci gambar' ah. putting it on and off since the day I came back from the trip.
I need to get a move on.

Karang sampai the next trip and still balum cuci yg 2016 punya.

ah well..

once again, you'll know when I finish with this. 

xD
