Unicorns!

I can't believe that after three weeks of blogging, I still haven't blogged about my favoutite animal in the world, unicorns!

Picture from https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhp8JeNkzcDL28Ze2gi8nKmzUUyem3VFk6gELC1H84EuOK-zNqQxdzKISltJ3gqGxEVGNhK63DwI9-HekYIt3bWkMw8ZbTVfib0593E5M7VH622eD5-yHsnF1TLcT_Ib0pwMagFMPikpGuR/s320/unicorn1.jpg

Unicorns are mythical creatures that originated from European folklore about a white horse with a horn on it's forehead. Unicorns have been traced back to to the ancient Greeks and has been used in many pictures and coats of arms. 

Many people say that the unicorn is just a myth, but I believe that unicorns are really real. According to Wikipedia, The first objects unearthed from Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro, which were the major sites in the Indus Valley Civilization, were stone seals of unicorns. They have been interpreted as aurochs (a type of wild cattle with two horns), but on the seal, there is only one horn showing. Maybe, that when they made the seals, they didn't make it of aurochs, they made it of unicorns! There is also an article about how unicorns actually existed! To check out the article, Click Here. There are also many games and videos out there and on YouTube about unicorns so go check them out!

There is also a game on the App Store about unicorns called Robot Unicorns Attack 2. The first one is 99¢ but the second one is free. I have had many opportunities to play the first game of Robot Unicorns Attack and I have loved it. While the unicorn runs, Always by Erasure (which is an awesome song) is playing in the background and you have to make it jump and dash to collect coins and break stars. But in the second game, there are also monsters that you have to break, you can customize your unicorn and music, and once you reach a certain level, you can choose between two teams and compete against each other. I love these two games so much and I highly recommend them.

I love unicorns a lot for different reasons including they fly, they're magical, they're colourful, and they look like pretty horses. A unicorn reminds me of Nyan Cat a little bit because when I imagine a unicorn, I imagine it flying through the sky with a rainbow trailing behind it. Unicorns also come in all of the colours of the rainbow and skittles, and unicorns can use their horns for healing powers, telekinesis, and more. Lastly, unicorns look just like horses with a horn and rainbows and I love horses because they are cute and they look so peaceful running through the fields and as you guys know, I absolutely love rainbows.

Clipping Magic!

Clipping Magic is a website where can upload pictures and remove the backgrounds very easily. I also found this program from my BTT class. To remove the background of the picture, click the green tab and mark the image you want to keep. Then, by clicking the red tab and marking the parts that you want to remove, the picture on the right will remove what ever you want removed. From there, you can download and share your newly edited picture. 

Here is a video explaining in further details.

I actually tried this and it is a very good way for removing the backgrounds of images. It is quick, simple, and has a very good result. 

Here is one of the pictures that I have edited of unicorns.

It's not the best, but it was my first time and I think it turned out pretty good. Below is the original image.

I first found out about Wideo when we had to make videos for BTT class. It seemed like an interesting program so I created an account. Making a video on Wideo is surprisingly easy. When you make an account, they will show you an easy tutorial on the basics of using Wideo and then you're set! I like Wideo because it is similar to the program Prezi and I really enjoy making powerpoint presentations on Prezi. Wideo is easy, fun to create, and a good website to make videos. 

Here's a Wideo I created when I made the account:

I also created a video on the basics of leaning Wideo, but I don't know if I'm allowed to put that on my blog. So I hope you enjoyed my entry on Wideo! I hope you stay tuned into my blog and I hope you have a wonderful day! Bye for now!

Hello Kitty!!

After how many weeks, I'm surprised that I didn't post a blog entry on one of my favourite things!

Hello Kitty was created by Sanrio in 1974 when it was having it's first appearance in Japan. Hello Kitty (or Kitty White) was born in the suburbs of London, England on November 1st to a big family and she is as tall as five apples and weighs about three apples. Now, after sold in many countries and having her own television shows, she is known worldwide and targeted to all females.

I was introduced to Hello Kitty when I was really young and I still love her. I think Hello Kitty is going to be one of the things that I'm not going to stop loving, ever. I've been known as 'the girl that loves Hello Kitty' and that's okay with me because it's true. I remember when we did secret Santa gifts at school, and both of the times that I did it, I received something with Hello Kitty on it and when my Hello Kitty pencil broke, so did my heart (but I'm okay now). When I was younger, I always went on Sanrio's website (link with first Sanrio) and I always told myself that when I get a credit card, I was going to buy something from there (without bankrupting myself of course) and I am going to do it one day.

Hello Kitty is one of those things that you can find all over the world, but even though you can find it in Canada, I want to go to Japan one day and buy something with Hello Kitty there so it can have some meaning to me. 

I love Hello Kitty so much it is indescribable in words. I even got my cousin loving Hello Kitty! So, I hope you enjoyed my post on Hello Kitty as much as I did! I hope you have a wonderful rest of the day!

Dropbox!

Dropbox is a website that lets you save your documents so you can access it anywhere, anytime, as long as you have connection to the internet. Basically, it's an online USB. 

I made a Dropbox account for my BTT class and it is so much easier to use than a USB. You can save a lot of files in your Dropbox, including pictures, documents, even pictures from paint! There is also an app for it so you can edit and view files you've saved there anywhere! You can also share certain files on Dropbox and only certain people can see it because your account is private. Lastly, if anything happens to your computer and your important files get erased, if it is saved to your Dropbox, it will still be there and accessible. 

Here's their blog! Click here to access it. 

Here's a video explaining Dropbox!

A lot of people use Dropbox everyday to keep their important files safe and it is a really good way of doing so. So, just to be safe, go make a Dropbox account! So, I hope you enjoyed my entry on Dropbox! Have a nice rest of the day!

Review: Despicable Me 2!

Photo From http://corp.visiblemeasures.com/Portals/382/images/despicable_me_2_2013_movie-HD1.jpg

Despicable Me 2 is a movie directed by Pier Coffin and Chris Renaud that was released on July 3rd, 2013 and is a sequel to the movie Despicable Me. According to Common Sense Media, it has been rated four out of five stars. 

In Despicable Me 2, Gru swaps his evil schemes for a jam and jelly business, but when he is kidnapped and offered a job at AVL (Anti-Villains League), he pairs up with Lucy, a new recruit, to capture the villain that stole a dangerous chemical substance that can be harmful to the whole world if placed in the wrong hands. Despicable Me 2 is a tale about family, love, trust, and minions that suitable for the whole family and will leave you with a smile as you exit the theater.   

I watched Despicable Me 2 after school today with some friends and I absolutely loved it. It was hilarious, captivating and entertaining all at the same time. If I were to rate this movie I would give it five stars! My favourite part in the movie was probably the part where Gru and the girls went the Cinco de Mayo party because It was really funny seeing Gru trying to be overprotective of Margo. I also liked the part in the beginning when Agnes was having her birthday party and Gru had to be the fairy princess and at the end when the minions start singing "I swear" and "YMCA" at the wedding. I think a character that I can relate to the most in this movie is Agnes, because she loves unicorns and tries her best to help with anything that she can. I would recommend this movie one hundred percent and if I had an opportunity to watch it again, I would. 

There is also a website all about Despicable Me, so if you want to visit it, Click Here.  

So, I hoped you enjoyed my review on Despicable Me 2! It is a really funny movie so go watch it before it goes out of theaters! Thanks for tuning in to my blog! Have a wonderful day!
