I\’m a Video Noob

Categories UncategorizedLeave a Comment on I\’m a Video Noob
I\’ve been doing some video editing with the use of some apps. It\’s new to me because, all this time I\’m more of a photo-taking enthusiast. Making a story look and sound coherent is tedious as compared to photo-editing. What I didn\’t expect was, I liked doing it. It makes me happy that I can tell stories through another medium. I foresee making vlog for a change. I have to work on my stutter (my greatest enemy in oral recitations during Nursing school). I want to try my hands on editing with a software using a computer (of course I have to do some research on this). Well for now I need to maximize my resources.
I\’m using apps like Lightt, Cameo, Flipagram, StopMotion and Magisto. Among the five, I like Cameo the best because it\’s easy to use. Next is Flipagram because you can use your photos to turn it into videos with music. I highly suggest to experiment with the 5 apps or other editing apps and you\’re likely to end up with unique results.

The Seaworld video was my first edit ever! It was taken during my birthday, that makes it extra special. While the PETCO park video was during my Downtown San Diego outing with my sis-in-law Ate Marilou.

Enjoy!

Music Monday: Penguin Prison

Categories UncategorizedLeave a Comment on Music Monday: Penguin Prison
My husband is a music lover of different genres. With his quiet nature, I didn\’t expect him to be one. From the 60\’s until the present he has favorites. Though he\’s been living in the US for a longtime he still appreciates OPM especially from bands like Rocksteddy, Rivermaya, Eraseheads et.al. He grew up during the New Wave Era thus the obvious attachment (I didn\’t know till now that Bizarre Love Triangle was from NWE). For him, Depeche Mode is the greatest band of all time. Because DM has survived after the New Wave, outlived the 90\’s and surpassed the New Millenium. He\’s also a fanboy of Duran Duran having sported their hair when he was younger (I\’m still looking for evidence, I want to see how he looks like). I discovered Lorde because of him (kaya lang pinagsawaan na niya ang Royals). The list goes on. 
I also noticed his speaker collection from inside the house up to his truck. I was stunned! Why would one person needs so much of those! But I need to understand him like how he tries to understand the need of using different brushes when I apply make-up. I asked him why and answered back \”Because I care about my music!\” WOW!  Ikaw na ang super caring sa music. Same thing with watching a film. That\’s why we don\’t watch movies in the cinema. Our surround sound system are comparable to movie house standards. Kulang na nga lang 3D.
The song for today was from his random FM radio-heard selection. Good thing, Sound Hound is ever reliable for Seff\’s music researches.
Happy Monday to everyone
XOXO

I had a very memorable weekend with my in-laws… It was my first time to meet my sister-in-law Jaina and her husband Arnold from Virginia. And my first time celebrating Halloween in California. I\’m still in the process of editing pictures. Another blog post coming up…

Fast Food Fix

Categories UncategorizedLeave a Comment on Fast Food Fix

Lots of fast food joints are available in San Diego. Most of it are not exactly approved by Seff (hubby is fitness junkie period). From time to time he lets me experience a part of it.
The fast food industry here is quite diverse. I\’m happy for the variety so there\’s a lot to choose from (aside from my fave Subway sandwiches). I also noticed the humongous servings that they have! Which makes it sulit. Most of their drinks are refillable. A small or regular sized drink will do because you can refill it anytime. This is what I call  a well deserved cheat meal. 

1. El Pollo Loco

                                   

2. Chick – Fil – A – Specializes in chicken meals. I love them because they support the military. We got free breakfast from them!

                             

Chick Fil A Chick n Mini – Chicken in biscuit. Tastes good with their sauce ( I forgot the name)
Chicken, egg & cheese sunflower multigrain bagel for hubby.
   
3. Wendy\’s Old Fashioned Hamburgers – Even when I was in the PHL and SG, among the famous burger joints Wendy\’s has the best and juiciest burger in my opinion. Hubby told me that their meat are always fresh that\’s why he finds it expensive among the other burgers. 
I was thinking, how come Wendy\’s comes in a longer name/title. Hhhmmm…

I can\’t remember the name of this wrap. A healthy alternative from Wendy\’s aside from the salads.
Chili. Have to mix it with crushed crackers. It\’s delicious not too spicy.
4. Hotdog on a Stick 
I tried their cheese and its sinfully good.
The following are those that I wasn\’t able to photo because I was really hungry. 
6. Arby\’s

…known for slow roasted roast beef, turkey, and premium Angus beef sandwiches, sliced fresh every day. —-SOURCE

Roast Turkey and Swiss Wrap. Photo grabbed from their website.

7. Rubio\’s – First time I was here it was a Taco Tuesday. 
The Original Fish Taco
8. Stone Oven – Gourmet sandwiches and salads. 
Got this from their website.
I had their Santa Fe Hot Ham. Aside from the sandwich this includes a side item of your choice Gourmet salad, Caesar Salad, Pasta Salad, Potato Salad or Gourmet Potato Chips. So their serving are good for two people if they are diet conscious plus the drinks are refillable for sodas. 
If my brothers and sisters are here, they will surely love this food line-up.  
Till next my next foodie trip.
XOXO
