Behind the scene | How do I blog?

Sabrina Tajudin January 28, 2016 6 comments

Ever wonder what really happens before every blogpost? Wrapping up the last part of how I #makemagiceveryday with Windows 10 and Intel! I have been seriously blogging since 2011. Today it is now 2016! Crazaay! My blogging process pretty much change after time to time and I find new productive and easier way along the journey. How can I possibly imagine that by typing behind my laptop that sometimes I could not even imagine a life without it? It has been with me every single day without I realizing it.

So! Enough jabbering! Let me show you what happens and how every post happens. Hope this will inspire you to blog even more maybe! So my blog is mainly about beauty products. Some products were sent to me and some are from my own purchase. So I like to list down on the idea or draft on what post should be up soon or drafted in Excel. I like to list it on my planner as well as on my excel list where I record all posting that I have done.

Move along I will do the first task which is picture taking. Sometimes I use my camera and sometimes with my phone. Pretty convenient when using my phone is that I could just send it to my OneDrive. From there I can get access to all of my pictures easily. I delete any pictures that I think I would not use and remain the ones I need to edit. This is where filing and folding up these files are important. As you know creating a folder and sorting out this using Windows is amazingly easy right. Then I edit my pictures using Photoshop. Sorting out is important. This way I can easily get access to the files that I will want to work with first.

After editing I will work on my blogpost draft. Word comes in handy when I don’t have access to the internet. So I will type in my blogpost and will publish it later. Also the vocabulary and grammars are highlighted faster and more accurate there for a typo person like me. haha. It is very handy as my English is not perfect at all.

Continue by arranging and uploading the pictures in my blog. After previewing it, I will publish it! That is the highlighted simple process I do when I publish a blogpost. How about you? How your computer has helped you to reach out and express yourself? I can't imagine what my life would be right now with all of the easy access to the internet world and doing my work with all of the Windows10 features and power of Intel. I hope you find how I #makemagiceveryday helpful and inspire you to make your own magic too! Visit the Make Magic website for more info!

It is easier with shortcuts on the Window

Sabrina Tajudin January 25, 2016 2 comments

We want things to get done fast and easy. Today I will share you some tips and shortcuts for your Windows 10 computer. If you realize that the look and the "buttons" on your latest laptop keyboard has pretty much upgraded. Realize the Windows logo on your keyboard as shown above? Yep that key is a masterpiece and the shortcuts to make your work flow even better. Let me show you some of my favourites.

1. Access to all of my favourite software : Press the Windows key
Using the one only button Windows click, I get access to all of the recent and most used apps. In Windows 10 I can arrange the app thumbnails according to what I love. It is more personalized!

2. Going back to my desktop : Press Windows + D
This is the desktop view of Windows 10. The menu start section is very convenient. I can personalize it to what I want. Get access to the things I love to browse and use to keep going and get my task done faster!

3. Search things I can't find : Press Windows + F
I easily forget where I store things sometimes. By just pressing Windows + F the search box pops out. Here I can just type in on what I want to search for and it will list all related stuff on it. Super handy especially when I have thousand of pictures and files to sort out.

4. Go to my Computer : Press Window + E
Of course, it is like access to the "brain". Sometimes I need to get back to my external drive or pen drive. Checking out the storage and files. I just typed in Windows + E and get access to my computer.

There are many more but these are the most frequent ones that I use to my everyday computer working flow access. These shortcuts can be use for your Windows computers. I hope you find this helpful on how I #makemagiceveryday with Windows 10!

My story living near the cemetery

Sabrina Tajudin August 20, 2014 13 comments

Since I was a kid, I was raised by my grandmother. I live somewhere that most Johorean know. It is a place where people mourn and dress in black. Yes, my grandma house is just beside the Muslim cemetery. It is one of the most famous cemeteries in Johor and where most car accident happen there... Everyday coming back to school, I will need to walk inside the graveyard in order to get shortcuts. Glad I have not yet met "anything" in particular... yet?

Admit that I love ghost stories and then I find hard to sleep afterwards. haha. One of the experience I had when I was a kid living near the Muslim cemetery are of course during the night when I have to walk alone going back from my Quran class. I always had that feeling of something following me. eek! And one of the experiences I can't forget that happen to me is during that night. I heard something howling. It does not really sound like an ordinary dog. It's more like a wolf! Or I could say something big! Just beside my window. My window is near to the cemetery. There were loud scratches and loud stomp sound just like waiting to come in through that window. Eeek again! More stories? I could not even want to remember!

But then again, when we talk about ghost stories why it has to be a frighten one. Who said ghost can't have love? Cornetto brings joy in anyone. I mean anything in this world! As you bite in those crunchy nuts, that oh so creamy ice cream and don't forget the last bite of that sweet crispy cone! I always fight for that! It's what they said save the best for the last! Cornetto also believes that how this sweet snacking time could bring joy to anyone as well as connects the love and affection to each one another.

Now what's up with the Cornetto Hikayat Po and Lang? Who is Po? What is Po? What Cornetto has to do with these ghost stories? Joy? Love? Watch below teaser!

Here a little spoiler for you. Not really a spoiler lah. hehe. There is this creature called Lang. Better known as Langsuir. You know what is Langsuir? It is some kind of a creature that said to appear in white and long black hair and loveeee to eat Cornetto ice cream. Nah I'm just kidding. Or am I? So when Lang has lost her ability to scream and ya know the thing that they do. Cackled! She finds that there is something missing in her heart. Something is not right. Something that's need to be filled. So she decided to go somewhere where she can find this empty space to be filled. So she went off and meets a boy. The boy was eating Cornetto and the boy says that he is happy. Lang began to realize that it is joy that she have lost. So there is where Lang was bought to Kampung Cempuaka. There is where Lang meets Po and the other creatures. There is when, the drama starts. The other creatures could not hear her voice except for there is this one creature. Watch the web series! The 1st episode starts today! Who is it? Love story? Jealousy? You see for yourself!

HungryGo Where Celebrates Ramadan @ Talent Lounge

Sabrina Tajudin July 22, 2014 Leave a Comment

As-salamu alaykum and hello everyone ♡. When Ramadan arrives, a lot of buffet packages and promotions are offered but you just don't know where to go or what to choose. Last week I went to Talent Lounge that was located at Damansara Perdana, on the ground floor of the PJ Trade Center building. As we arrived, we are just amazed by the decor and ambiance of the location. The Talent Lounge was surrounded by modern and nature-inspired decor. Lovely. So here is a quick introduction of HungryGoWhere . HungryGoWhere is a food discovery network that helps you find the best food around. They also have a mobile app that you can download for free on your smartphones. HungryGoWhere is definitely your Kaki Makan! It is such an amazing and convenient app that you must have! Always struggling on,

"Mana nak makan?"

"Budget?"

"What restaurant is nearby?"

"Is it good hah?"

"How the place look like?'

"Weh! Halal ke?"

etc etc etc...

Here is a quick look at how HungryGoWhere works. Discover new places to eat and where to hangout from this app. HungryGoWhere is a search engine that allows you to find out the type of food, pricing, location and other relevant information within your location. It’s an ultimate food guide for kaki makan like me! Sort out from the price rate, type of food, halal food and more. Yep, it is very useful especially for us Muslim. You can just click on the "Show only Halal Food" button and it will sort out only Halal restaurant. Thank you! The other best thing about it is that, you can read reviews and pictures of the venue first. So how helpful is that! You can also submit your reviews and of course, take a picture of your food and upload it in.

So going back to one of the best place to eat recommend by HungryGoWhere . The Talent Lounge! Talent Lounge is not only an awesome place to dine it but it is also a great place to hold meetings and meet ups. The surrounding balance up between business and fun! They offer ala carte menus and coffee! But now I am going to feature their Ramadan Special Buffet package that is offered right now during this fasting month.

Ta-daa! Here are some of the menus you can find and dine during their Ramadan Special buffet. The event was held one day before 1st Ramadan, so basically this is like the preview and pre Ramadan buffet! Everything is made with love and a special mix up between our own local dishes and some western touches.

The menu that we were served during the day were Roast Beef (my favorite!), Pilaf Rice with Lamb (delicious!), Hummus with Pita Bread (special!), Ayam Masak Merah & Ikan Masak Lemak (taste reminded me of home cooking <3). There were also desserts such as Brownies, Sago Melaka, Ondeh-Ondeh, and many more! Everything was just so savory and nice! Here is my face showing that how full I am but still want to eat some more. HAHA.

CONTEST ALERT!

Release Date for The Sims 4

Sabrina Tajudin June 10, 2014 31 comments

As-salamu alaykum and hello everyone ♡. Good morning, as I wake up just now I receive an email from my favorite online game store Origins. So I just need to blog about it. The release date for the Sims 4 have been revealed officially! Man I am excited! I started playing The Sims since I was a kid. From The Sims 1 until now The Sims 3. I am much more active during The Sims 2 because that time I was young and don't have much to do basically. Haha. I alternately play The Sims 3 when I am doing my degree. Don't really get to play much and follow new expansion and stuff because of financial issues and time. Since I have finish my studies and "some" of you always ask "where I get all of my money to buy stuff". Of course I pick it from a tree! Well come one guys, of course I work my ass of to earn my living. Disclaimer, I am not from a rich family. I buy everything with my own money. I always took opportunity to earn some side incomes and use my talent to sell my design services. Please don't assume negative thought about me people. Get you asses off and work for it.

Now talk about Origin, I receive quite a number of questions about it on how to purchase it. Well, if you have a debit card or credit card and link it to paypal, it is easy. I will blog about on how to register paypal as soon as possible around this month okay. Orgings is a authorize (authentic) online game store sells The Sims games pc games and other games. You purchase it online and download it. What I like about Origins is that they always have sale. So I bought my The Sims 3 at a very affordable price. The down side of Origins is that of course you did not get the actual product to keep or make it as a collection. Well, I do mind that sometimes.

Bila The Sims 4 keluar? Harga The Sims 4 Download PC. Download The Sims 4

Okay okay. When is the release date for The Sims 4 now! It will be release officially on 2nd September this year (2014). Pre Order for this game has open from lots of online store you may find. Of course Origins is also offering for Pre Order right now and retails at 80.91 SGD (normal 89.90 SGD) = RM206.88.

And there is a cool collector edition which for me retails insanely. As what I heard it is only available in UK only. I don't know why. So The Sims 4 promise and have gave us a lil sneak peek on what to expect in The new Sims 4. So what I heard that the character is more cartoonist. I like that part because I actually hate The Sims 3 graphic. It looks weird and hard to make it look pretty. Haha. The Sims 4 basically reminds me of The Sims 2 with more awesome graphic. Features, easy molding for the character, easy house building and more real expression. I am plan to get this in actual form. i would want to collect them since I did not get the chance in The Sims 3 due to my financial reasons. Now as I already can find more money for my own, I might get this around. The problem is just that my graphic card for my laptop is not good enough. Well changing a oc for me might take a while. Haha. Lastly sorry to some of you who request for me to upload my The Sims 3 house to enable download, I can't do that because I use lots of different download and codes, it might serve you a problem and I am afraid I might not get to assist you.

❤

Are you planning to buy The Sims 4?

Sabrina Tajudin February 20, 2014 4 comments

As-salamu alaykum and hello everyone ♡. Hahaha. i was just bored anyway, and saw this. So I thought I wanna post this because I thought it was fun to get to the "mainstream". Did you play Flappy Bird? Well I played it too and my high score is only 29. -__-. So basically Flappy Bird is just a simple game that looks like the classic Mario game. All you need to do is tap your screen in order to flap the bird higher, controlling the bird not to hit the pipes. The longer you go, the higher the score. So I saw this video, the ending of 999 score was classic! You should watch below video. Hahahaha! Is it really true this game have been shut down?
Highest score of Flappy Bird
