big thanks to ...

Free Video app. dramacool.to and Clip Converter.

LOL

My bestie, Zawir, just recently introduced to me Clip Converter; an awesome website where you can download any video from your social media (but I havent try downloading any video from FB. I only downloaded a few from IG) including youtube. and I love this! now I can upload videos from IG for safe keeping! thanks bruh! 

I'm an iphone user. so, downloading video for free is IMPOSSIBLE! if it's not from the iTune Store.

story time~!

the first time I was able to download videos from youtube was when my old colleague introduced to me MIXTUBE (sebenarnya aku lupa apa nama app atu. tapi lurus kali lah namanya mixtube LOL) which is like heaven for me since I have a lot of SHINee videos to download and that app allows me to upload the videos further into my Camera Roll (thats the same as saved into my phone memory) but that short lived coz not long after I started using it, the App was 'shut down'.

I was Video-Uploader- App deprived for a very long time. 

I downloaded several more apps yg allows me to download youtube videos but it doesn't allow me to save them to my phone.

coz saving videos in my phone memory means, I can transfer them later on into my external disk using my lappy. so without the-saving-to-my-camera-roll thingy, its kinda pointless for me to have such app on my phone.

it was very frustrating moment of my life (dramatic. LOL)

AND THEN! a new colleague introduced to me this app! Free Video.

it was tricky to use at first but after you got the hang of it (with the help of awesome internet connection), IT'S THE BEST APP EVER! for someone that is not so tech savvy, like me lah ah. if you're some kind of tech engineer or Google is your bestfriend, maybe you wont be as excited as I am.

but after a while, downloading from youtube became a hassle. I think this app only works with awesome internet connection. So, I usually 'borrowed' my friends wifi to download 'important' videos from youtube. EVEN then, when I'm at their house, I conveniently lupa tia apa kn di download. like, what the actual what.

you know how 'we know what we want when the water runs dry' saying, right?

thats how it was.

So, in the end, i didn't even bother trying to download anything from youtube if I'm using my own internet.

it's frustrating.

BUT LUCKY I DIDN'T UNINSTALL IT!

coz my sister wanted to download it few months ago and couldn't find the App on app store.

and thanks to this App, I was able to watch DOTS (Descendant of the Sun) the same week as Korea.

of course, big thanks to dramacool.to for providing engsub episodes for me to download using Free Video app! 

I know I would be able to download them via laptop but that would mean I can only watch DOTS if i open my lappy.

So, Free Video app on my phone is a life saver!

I can download my DOTS while at work and watched it when i get home, in bed.

Basically saying, even if i just open dramacool/clipconverter on my phone browser and can click the 'download' button, it wont do shit unless I do it inside Free Video.
damn you apple with your 'legal' properties thingy! not everyone can afford itunes card! you piece of rotten tomato!

thus, big thanks to Free Video makers. you guys are awesome!

I tried youtube-ing once for app to use to download videos from youtube, I didn't bother finishing the tutorial coz it took too long and too much hassle for my lazy ass. hahaha

but by all means, don't go by me. If you are lot rajin-er than me, you should Google for a better App.

this is just what I prefer.

Luna씨

안녕

this post is like, a month old but that's an exaggeration.
xP

Luna's first mini album.

I have to admit, my initial reaction to Luna's first mini album being techno-ish is bad for promoting her vocal, is complete BS.
coz even from Free Somebody, her vocal just shown thru.
shows how you should never judge SM's better judgement. (aside from JYJ, Hangeng, Kris, Luhan, Tao cases)

anyhoo...
I've forgotten what song I like, besides Free Somebody, from this album.

hmm..

let me share one live performance video first:



isn't she perfection? *mata berLove2*

also, I just found out.
Luna was cast base on her dance skill rather than her singing skill.
I was so shocked when I found out about this.
Like,
are you sure?!
coz her voice is just ..bom! and she's the main lead vocalist in f(x).
are you sure??!!

but then, I'm over my shock and thought, 'no wonder her dancing was always on point' *nod nod in realization*

moving forward~

in her mini album, she has six songs and an equal balance of ballad and up beat songs.

I think I like her Galaxy song.



its almost the same sound as Free Somebody now that I listened to it again for the umptime.

but of course, her promotion was short lived as SM decided to release EXO new album soon after hers. like, we all know where everybody else is going when EXO made an appearance. BUT it was a good released for Luna while it last.

Well done, Luna-ssi! Good Job!

maybe next time SM would think about giving their other artist an equal amount of promoting period.

. . .

OMG!

I cannot believe what I just discovered:
Commeting on my blog had to be 'approved' or 'manually published'.
I found out when I saw on the 'Comment' key it says 'comment for moderation' and boy was i shock when i saw a lot of comment to be published.

No wonder I've not seen anyone comment in such a long time!
I thought I was getting a 'payback' - you know, since I seldom reply to people and now people lazy to leave down a comment for me coz I never reply them anyways.
LOL

Thank you to Jessica and Esma for leaving down comments all that time my setting was bonkers!

I've replied several of them but once I noticed there were a lot that I've missed, I'm thinking.. "WOW! you really messed up, Az" hahaha

my goodness.

I'm sorry once again guys. you guys rock!

I've fixed the setting and now I can see them comments both on the web and from my phone.

to reply real quick to Esma (alert: I don't know if i replied to this already on the actual time when you commented because this was from my post posted last year and I don't think my setting was bonkers yet at that time but since I see no reply, I'm replying to you now): the rainbow gelly pen that you asked me - that time when you asked, inda plang ada terjumpa at any kadai..but just recently, I found them bejual arah cube di Mall, the one di tingkat tiga, ampir cinema, the one yg ujung sekali ampir bakas kadai restaurant West Street. I hope this anwer your question. and IF sekiranya you already bali the pen, I AM SO SORRY FOR THIS LATE REPLY!

and to Jess, really, THANK YOU FOR BEING SO KIND WITH YOUR CHOICE OF WORDS WHEN YOU LEAVE A COMMENT! (i use caps coz I'm very sorry for the late replies LOL)

I don't know why, but I have this funny sense of relief after I found out about this.

I just keep saying 'No wonder' and laughed. haahaha

my goodness!

RIP Christina Grimmie

I know I never allow myself to post two posts on the same date but this one worth the mention

the video that started off my curiosity. and I became a fan of hers in an instant.



not the biggest of fan. No.
I'm just a fan of hers. I watched several more of her videoblog, even bought 2 of her songs when she released them on itunes (coz, really, I couldn't download any decent ones illegally). she wasn't sign to any record company back then.



and how proud I was when, one Saturday afternoon, I was lazying around in front of the TV and something on AXN caught my attention; The Voice, Blind Audition.
and I don't know how but Grimmie came on and I was just so proud that I actually know somebody from the internet. literally, I found her from youtube and now she's on some huge TV show, auditioning. I just knew she'd turn chairs.



I think her confidence on stage was due to the fact that she was already performing on stage before she auditioned. I forgot who but she was an opening act for some huge names; was it Demi Lovato or Selena Gomez? I don't have the energy to find the video where she mentioned this.

I think I started following her on Instagram after this (Apparently I was watching the Rerun of The Voice that time so by the time I followed her on IG, she was already third place)

I see, read or play her post but I don't 'heart' her post every single time.

So, the last post of hers that I properly read but did not heart was the one she hugged a dog and the post was about a charity.

in all honesty, I haven't heard her sing or watch her vlog in such a long time. i think the one where she mentioned she was an opening act for someone was the last of her video that I ever watched.
the only update I got from her was from her IG posts.

Poor thing. She was shot after her concert 11-Jun-2016. from what I've read, she was shot on her way to a meet and greet by a guy who after that shot himself in the head.

She was younger than me and to think I could die first.

I don't know her on personal level that I feel the need to make this post but I know of her for a while now and I'd be lying if I said I don't feel something about her passing.

I finally understand the sadness people feel towards artist passing, when Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston and just recently as well, Muhammad Ali passed away.

Selamat Berpuasa

Credit to respective owner.

I know, 5 days too late

BUTT

still puasa month, no?

It's been a hectic June for me that I become increasingly more lazier than usual to post 

or to do anything else for that matter.

LOL

I am looking forward to the Sungkai Outings that I'm gonna miss this year. 

coz I told myself that I'm gonna go to at least TWO sungkai outing this year for some personal reasons.

I hope nobody will take offence or take it too personal if I rejected their invites. 

I hope people realize that it's not them, it's me. FOR REAL.

that been said, I feel like eating lots of fried chicken for sungkai later.
