It's has been quite a long time since I last tasted the dabai fruit. Foochows call this fruit as " Ka Lang ". So, do you know what are dabai fruits?

Photoshop Basics Tutorial Part 1

Image
Alright, yours truly am going to do a series of Photoshop tutorials. For those who don't know, basically Adobe Photoshop is an image manipulation software. All you need to know is that Photoshop is very very useful and by knowing how to at least operate/use Photoshop will do you more good than harm. Lets begin with the basics shall we? For those who are already very expert in Photoshop please bear with me. One have to learn how to crawl before one can walk, correct? First of all, open up Photoshop. Yes, you have to install Photoshop FIRST before you can use it and yes, you have to double click on the Photoshop icon before you can run it. Unless of course if yours are operated by voice command then that would be different. (And yep, I am trying to be funny here in case you don't know. =p) So, the first thing you will see when you run Photoshop is the WORKSPACE or the Photoshop main window. Refer to the following image which is labeled for your convenience. There are a lot of di...

Lucky

After all that happened, the laptop case and the car case . I am beginning to wonder whether I have a guardian angel or not. Everyone has their very own guardian angel and those angels comes in different forms. Perhaps my guardian angel happens to be asleep the time those thing happened. Sleeping on the job, so they say or maybe I have the laziest guardian angel there is. Anyway, ditch that. What to do when you know that your guardian angel is not doing a good job or is just plain lazy? You will need all the luck in the world. Yep, I need all the luck that I can get. Need to get lucky. How to get lucky? Either you just let it come to you or you can go and get lucky by force. Well, can't blame me for using force. Desperate times call for desperate measures. .............................................................. .............................................. .......................... ............. ...... .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
