Small But Terrible

I am not a cellphone addict nor of any gadget except for my iPod Touch. I already lost two cellphones during the time I have my iPod, but I still managed to save it (thank goodness). It is a small thing, but does terrible things. Well, I got to read books through iBooks, I got to update my social networking sites without fighting for my turn in our computer, I got to check my review materials without going through so many papers, I got a free text from Chikka when I ran out of load, and during my term as an officer in JPIA, I got to check updates regarding upcoming cups from time to time.

I have had my iPod Touch way back in January,2011 but for a reason I'm not quite sure what. It was too early to be my birthday gift. So I just guessed that it was for motivating me to pass the qualifying exam and to maintain my academic scholarship, which thankfully I did both. ☺

For over 2years now, here's what my device looks like...

Lock Screen
Home Screen - 01
Home Screen - 02













I am not actually the type of person to put a 'selfie' as my background since my iPod has been the toy-for-all gadget of my family and friends so, yeah, it's better for them to see random pictures than my face. :P My lock screen is a fitspiration for me since I gained a belt bag this summer (but honestly, I still haven't finished a complete routine until now). As for my home screen, he is my BigBang bias - Gdragon/Kwon Jiyong ♥__♥  since he looks good to be my home screen, (chos!). ☺ :"> I also just have a two-page home screen because, as much as possible, I want everything to be just a click away.

Those apps that are not put in a folder are those that I use most of the time. 
FEU's WiFi Public Access, for the wifi access of course in my school. 
Instagram, since I am really active in checking new photo posts from those I follow. 
Twitter, because I share more in here than on facebook. 
WeChat, for a free communication with my friends in and out of the Philippines (using a wifi access). It has animated stickers, video call, and most of all, (the one I love the most) the voice message since I get a walkie-talkie kind of effect. :)
OPlayer Lite, where I watch .mkv and .avi files. It can also read .srt files. It's just a lite version since I don't buy apps, so there's a little flaw in this player, but it's bearable. :)
Mail, for checking my Yahoo, Gmail, and even our JPIA Backup account. 

For my folders, I just use emoticons that could sum up what are the apps in it does.




Notes - in-app. I put anything actually: song lyrics, recipe, crochet pattern procedures, short poems and quotes.

Reminder - also an in-app. Haven't use in a while.

Office2 Plus - I like viewing my .pdf files here. It was very useful for viewing the IRRs of different cups/quizbees before.

Expense Log - to track down all my allowance, expenses, receivables, and payables. You can also put symbol in every entry you made like meals, transpo, etc. 

iFileExplorer - I used it to view word, excel, and ppt files. Also for extracting .zip files.





Most of the apps here are in-app and I'm not really using them. I just want to feature the Find iPhone app. 

Being a very lousy gadget user, that sometimes misplaces her iPod, this app has been very useful for me. Seriously. I'll just have to log-in in https://www.icloud.com/ then using this app, I can play a sound through our computer. I used it most of the times at home. I still haven't tried using it outside, but it says that it will help you locate your missing device on a map and even protect its data. It's applicable in iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, or Mac.

Facebook - I use it to grab photos that I can use to update my Instagram account. :P

Messenger - since Facebook crashed most of the times, I used this to check PMs and Group Messages.

Blogger - I can post through my iPod, but I can't edit it the way you can edit when you are posting from a computer. Actually, I have used this once only. :P

S Diary - the name itself, it's my diary. It has stickers and feelings for every entry I will make.

Tumblr - not checking tumblr actually so I'm not using this app too.

YGFamily - to get the latest updates in the YG Family, because BigBang is part of it. ☺




iBooks - where I got to read books that I can't buy. 

Wattpad - I got addicted to this last year, and I have read so many good stories.

YouTube - it's not an in-app anymore. Browsing videos.

Videos - in-app. supports .mov and .mp4 files.

FlexPlayer - also supports .mov and .mp4 files but I like it more than because you can fast forward or backward while watching by just swiping in it.

SoundCloud - just to hear good covers from those people I follow.




Messages - in-app, free messages from thos with an Apple account.

LINE - same as WeChat but had it first before that. I just downloaded it for my friend in Japan, and of course for GD's update in his official Line acct. (also of JYJ, Super Juniors, CNBlue, 2PM and Lee Min Ho)

Keek - a social site where instead of pictures, you post short videos. Here I watch the video updates from  PLL's casts Ashley Benson, Shay Mitchell and Keegan Allen.

Chikka - saves me when I ran out of load and I needed to text someone.

FaceTime - in-app, and I haven't use it.





Repost - can repost Instagram posts of my friends or those that I liked.

TimerCam - I can now take a picture of my #ootd. 

InstaSize - post entire photos on instagram without cropping.

Pic Collage & Moldiv - a collage photo editor.

Line Camera - another photo editor that has cute stickers.

Camera360/HelloCamera - just downloaded so I still don't know what they do. But I think they are also a photo editor app. 


Some of my apps here are the trending free apps in the AppStore that I downloaded just to give it a try. While some are the suggested apps from my friends, cousins, and my brother's friends. 

Tap Tap 4 was the very first app I downloaded. I just can't afford deleting it because of the songs in it. I play 2Fuse when I'm bored. I used to love playing Candy Crush, but not now because I'm still in Level 65! >:( Bubble Witch is another Facebook game like Candy Crush that I'm starting to like since I can finish each level (though I'm still in level 20+). It's like Zuma or something like that. StarMaker is a videoke app that makes me a singer. Some other apps are for my brothers and friends.

I used to have so many games, but because it's summer time and I focused on watching series, I deleted them to have free space in my iPod. I used to have some apps like Subway Surfers, Temple Run,The Curse, CrossFingers, and many more. I guess, I'm really not into playing games anymore. 


It was fun making a post like this. I got to know what apps I really do use and the ones I liked the most. Thanks to my friend, Abbey, for inspiring me in making this post. You can check her post here --> http://abrevity.blogspot.com/2013/06/inside-my-device.html. She got an iPad and we actually used to exchange gadgets before. :P

Why is it?

I should be happy, right? I should be contented on what I got, right? I passed. I did my best. I did it on my own. I didn't depend on others. But WHY IS IT that I am feeling unhappy and uncontented??

I should never feel this way, because this feelings is for selfish ones. I shouldn't be upset on what I am to other people, but rather, I should be glad that I've overcome my own expectations. I know what I can do. I know what I'm capable of. And the result only shows that I am more than what I picture myself to be. But WHY IS IT I'm feeling this way?

Is it because they say "You are who you are with" and I am not like them. I can't be like them, and I don't think I will ever be like them.

As much as I wanted to be happy for them, to celebrate like them, I just can't. Just like what I heard the other time - "Feeling ko ang bobo bobo ko." :(

I know for myself that I should be happy. I PASSED!! It's beyond what I imagined. But seeing them thinking and experiencing the other way around, it made me feel like it was just me. IT IS ME. IT'S IN ME.

Just letting it out

I really can't understand myself. I know i'm a professional in these things, these feelings and these experiences. But why am I feeling so depressed all over again.

From elementary up to now, same feelings, same situations, different people but still the same me. Why can't i learn from the past? It is something that i really need to work on, but i just can't.

I know, if someone out there will be reading this crap, they might think i'm weird or crazy. I actually can't state what those things were, those feelings, and those experiences. I just can't bring myself to say it even in writing.

Well, i just wanted to let it out so it won't stuck in me forever. It somehow lessen my problems, worries, and stress. At least for now I can say that even in this piece of a site, there I found someone who can listen to problems, just like a confidante.

Whenever you feel bad about something, don't let it ruin your everyday life. Let it out! Just let it out and it will feel nice.
