Top 5 photo editing apps for android

Hi there!

With everyone having smart phones, androids, iPhones, being vain is inevitable.

Yes I'm vain too at times. What you expect? I'm a girl... duh....

With all the photos taken, there are some that I don't like to share it "raw".

It needs certain enhancement.

To cover up my panda eyes... pimples.. (yes all my imperfections).. To adjust the lighting.. To enhance the mood.. And many more!

There are a few photo editor that I commonly use in my Samsung Galaxy S2 and iPod.

But I'm just gonna talk about the Top 5 app that I love using.

------------------------------------

First essential photo editing app in my phone is..

 

1) PICK

It allow me...

a) To look great!

I love using the effects!

Using the right effect on certain photos eliminates fine lines, wrinkles, makes your skin looked smoother, and it added artistic value in the piece of work!

I personally love using effects such as Calm, Vintage, Toy, Tender, Romance & Memories.



Romance



 

Antique



 

Vintage



b) To celebrate!

There's special edition during celebration like Christmas, Valentines Day etc...

With the frames and stamps, you can always make an e-greeting card with it!

 



A Valentine's Day wishes for my buddy who stood by me thru thick and thin,
and still sticking around seeing the worst side of me.



c) To perform a virtual complete make over!

It's more to like cartoonize myself, but ain't this cute...???

You get to choose your hair too!

AFTER




2) PHOTOSHAKE

This app is used for photos compilation. It caters up to 8 photos in a frame.

I like that Photoshake allow us adjust the gap between photos, and the frames. 

Also we can play around with the edge of the photos. 

Not to mention alot of frame shapes...  

3) PHOTO GRID

Photogrid is another great tools to use!

It's similar as Photoshake, but it caters up to 9 photos!

And there are more layout patterns to choose from.

It also has additional function to rotate, zoom in and out, and tilt any desired photos after being put into the frame.

Comes with colorful background too...

 

This is a 9 photos frame. Could use colorful background but I didn't
want it to look messy coz the photos are colorful enough.



4) FOTORUS

This app is Photoshake & Photogrid alike, the difference is, it caters only up to 4 photos.

What's so good about this app since it caters lesser than the previous app?

The photos layout is different.

Look at this photo of me in gold palazzo pants jumpsuit.

Notice how the right frame is bigger than the left one?

Photoshake and Photogrid does not have this function.

But Fotorus offers very limited choice of frame you could use though.

Compiled using Fotorus and wording added using Phonto



Photos are first edited using PICK, then FOTORUS to
put into frame, btw, I snapped a white wall and made it into a photo as background,
and that's where I used PICK again for the Valentine's stamp into the white background.
A specially made Valentine's Day card made for someone I could still call my BEST FRIEND till now!
Loveeee youuuu!!!



5) PHONTO

Last but not least, an app that you could use to add in wordings.

With selection of fonts, Phonto is very useful to add, edit, change size, tilt writings.

So well, have fun exploring with all the recommended apps!!!

RED is the new black!

Jeng Jeng Jeng!!!

Now that my hair color is "settled", I can finally post some photos about it!

It was still raining red and brown at the shower for the past week.

Scary huh....

So... I dyed my hair two weeks ago.

Wasn't keen to dye my hair right before CNY knowing that Nico is gonna

slaughter me with the new pricing.

But looking at my current hair, I really wanted some color on it to spice things up.
Was bored with my black hair.

Wanted to get my previous color - dark brown.

I've always tried to get colors that are not too bright as I have hair of Snow White.
Somewhat, black as ebony?

So in order not to have obvious color contrast between my colored hair and new grown hair,
darker color would be a wiser choice in order to blend in better.

Nico then said the most popular color this year is RED!
And that I should get it.

Showed me a few colors and chose the darker shade of red.
Nico agreed that it suit me coz it's not gonna look obvious when my hair grow longer.

So ON lah!

Waited for them to mix between two colors.

And...

The mixture turn out to look like this!
It almost scare me to death!



Jaw dropped looking at the mixture.

They had to continuously convince me that this is not the actual color,

and the outcome is not as bright as this!

Was skeptical but they were very convincing...

As my hair black pigment is way too BLACK,

they had to leave the mixture on my head for an hour!

The entire time I was thinking

"Die lah die lah.. will it turn out bright red?"

"Will I look like Ah Lian (aka samseng jalanan pompuan), will I even get fired with this hair?!!"

Posted the mixture on FB and some said they are excited to see the outcome.

And hippo predicted that it will turn out like this!

YAY? or NAY?!!!

After washing, blowing dry, snip snipping here and there,

the outcome surprised me!

The color looks great!!!

Well, not as great as the red-head up there,

but I do like my color.

Thanks again Nico!

The above photo was taken on the actual day.

Went for dinner with parents at Tony Romas, Setia City Mall,

at the same time, flaunting my new hair color!

In fact, I've noticed that there are many red-head at the malls recently.

Friends and colleagues dyed their hair red too!

Male or female!

RED indeed is the color!

As for my little basketball head, 

after one or two weeks,

after more washing,

the color changed.

With different photos taken of me,

sometimes it looks like burgundy,

sometimes purple,

sometimes brown,

and sometimes.... just plain black!

 

It made me desiring for something more RED now!

On top of my wish to eat and not get fat,

exercise and not build muscle,

play till down and not have panda eyes,

Can I have one more wish?

I would very much love to be ON FIRE with RED hair,

but don't want to get FIRED being unsuitable for the corporate world.

Can oorrrr noooottt?!!!

You can see how much I'm emphasizing on RED,

despite me being so hesitant on the adventurous new color
when it was first proposed by Nico.

See how fast a woman can change?!!!

I might even like to have a green hair tomorrow!!!

who knows...

NICE RIGHT???!!!!!!!

Talking about being on fire,
here's a nice song from Alicia Keys!
Love her songs, and this is one of it.

Alicia Keys - Girl On Fire (Inferno Version) ft. Nicki Minaj

Going on MICKEY & MINNIE MOUSE frenzy!

Yay! The photos are finally up!

Thank you hippo for the Mickey Mouse balloons on my birthday!

The balloons that comes in different colors and images is a truly wonderful gift!

It did not go to waste coz before it pancit,

I took plenty of photos of it!

The idea to make the balloons photos more interesting,

is to have me in it!

Kekeke... and of coz, it is with me

wearing my Mickey & Minnie Mouse t-shirt collection.

And thanks Vince for being my unpaid photographer.

Holding his Nikon DSLR looking like a pro,

taken 300++ photos of me!!!

And with him editing the photos like a pro, 

most of the photos turn out looking super cool!

Now i have lotsa photos of the balloons for remembrance.

----------------------------------------------------

The black Minnie Mouse shirt.

The cartoon was supposed to be in gold color,

well it still is,

but then it got faded due to mum's mishandling while doing the laundry.

 



The very first version of Mickey Mouse with pointed nose.

Do we look alike??? :P

 Trying to rock the simple Mickey shirt in white.

Wassup yo!!!

The Mickey's Barnyard Olympics!

One of a kind... :)

This is a lovely Minnie Mouse tee,

and I'm doing the "where's my Mickey???" look..

Tee saying "Nobody Does It Like Minnie".

Am I jumping like Minnie now???

We took a total of 10 jump shots and this is the only

one that turns out fine.

These are the unsuccessful attempts.. (unedited for the most obvious reason)

I love this photo!

"Knock knock.. who's there???"

Mum with her mouth wide opened asking "How did Vince do this?!!!"

Sweet tee from Uniqlo with matching polka dot hairband.

The old-skol Mickey tee.

Mickey & Minnie in luurrrveee!!!

This is the only tees that I didn't buy myself.

It's a gift from Barry - all the way from Jakarta.

I'm addicted to being silly.. (unedited)

Okay more silly photos to make a fool out of myself.. (unedited)

Among all the photos taken,

Setia Blockbuster 2012 on pixlr !!!

Setia Blockbuster 16 December 2012

This is my THIRD Annual Dinner with SP Setia.

And undoubtedly it was an incredible one!

...just like previous years

The theme this year is Setia Blockbuster.

 And Setia Eco Park chose Star Wars as our Blockbuster character.

We were given Princess Leia's long shirt and was told to dress up like her.

Men were given a full Darth Vader attire, including the super cool mask!

Some of our big shots were given special costumes such as Darth Maul and Queen Amidala. 

Other Business Units uses costumes inspires from Phanton of Opera, Bollywood,

Zombies, Superman, Alice in Wonderland and many more famous movies!

We hold the Annual Dinner at our very own venue this year,

our Setia City Convention Hall! 

But due to the limited space, we did not get to bring any partner this year.

Took alot of cool photos from the event and decided to photo-blog again!

Am trying out new online photo editor on the photos.

pixlr.com offers alot of effects and frames.

I would recommend it as a good and user-friendly photo editor!

I did not do my own make up this year.

Trying out Ying Nail and Make Up House.

I feel that Ying did a great job on me.

Am happy with how I look.

Hairdo as usual, was done by Nico.

Showed her photo of Princess Leia and she did this for me.

The usual Princess Leia would have both the
side buns a little lower and closing the ears.
But that's kinda ugly and old-fashioned.
So Nico make a modern version of Princess Leia hair for me.
Tie two ponytail and do it into plaits before tie it round on both the sides.

Now tell me I do look like Princess Leia!

...prolly in her teens?



The assassin... The Dark Darth Maul... 





Queen Amidala



"I'm your father....." 



Bang Suhaimi is the Darth Vader!!!



....Azman too! Darth Vader with Princess Moon :)




Guess who I bumped into on the way out?!!!
Iron Man!!! Hell yeah!!! 




Doing the Gangnam Style with our very own Setia Psy!



Jack as Psy... he really did look like Psy huh?!!



Our handsome Rahman as Elvis... 



Ian as old-skol teen in his performance for 3 + 1 Sekawan... 



Yoges buddy as female Charlie Chaplin! 



Stunning Yu Li as Madonna!

-------------------------------------------------------

And just for fun.... 

(doing the Russell Peters about God putting the hairiest people on the hottest place on earth)

I'm gonna post some photos of previous years annual dinner...

SP Setia Annual Dinner 2010 - Setia Oceanique Nite

The most fun Annual Dinner as I participated in Dance Competition that year.

We were on a hardcore training for a few months,

gave it all, but didn't win.

It's doesn't really matter, coz WE  HAD FUN!!! Wooooott!!!

Didn't know it was on YouTube till I blog about this now.

My very first date to Dinner & Dance - Mr. SJ Tan!
I brought him along knowing that he's gonna be thrilled to meet
all his ex-IOI colleagues who are now working at SP Setia.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

You gotta admit that not many companies out there that is

looking after the welfare of their staffs.

SP Setia is generous not only in organizing such a 

huge event for us, spreading a good dinner, giving away lavish lucky draw prizes,

but also giving a half day off the next day in order for their staffs to enjoy the night thoroughly!

Am very proud to say that I'm associated with SP Setia.
