By: Luzmharie SolisDo you know when your relationship’s about to end? Sometimes, we just thought that it’s just a trial for the relationship, but did you ever experience when you and your partner is doing fine but then he suddenly left you without any reason? And there you are, hanging alone, you don’t know what the problem is, you don’t know why he left you. In that kind of situation, it’s really hard for you to move on.
6 Signs you encounter when your relationship is about to end: 1. He is always busy doing other things or he always has a reason when you want to see him. 2. The morning message and goodnight is not that kind of sweet anymore, unlike before where it is a really long message and very sweet that you can feel that he really loves you. 3. When you’re together, you always argue and get bored with each other. 4. The super duper effort boyfriend you have is now the effortless boyfriend you have. 5. When you’re mad at him, it just ends up in a fight, unlike before where he says sorry with a lot of effort. 6. He doesn’t say “I love you” anymore. He only says those three words when he remembers it or when you say it first. So these are the signs when your relationship is about to end. I hope that when you see these signs, you can still try to work it out with your SO.

By: Mhon Navarro You’re probably thinking now why would I talk about shooting flowers, I mean, flowers seem like they’d be easy to shoot right? They’re already interesting enough to look at, so why talk about it? I know that they’re all beautiful and people loves looking at it but are you curious how do Pro-photographers take amazing shots and how it will hold your attention for several seconds gazing at the picture and say “this is one great photo!”? Surely you want to know, so take out your pen and take down some notes for I’ll be sharing some of their techniques and secrets!
Getting good flower shots is an art, and if you follow these tips, your next flower shots will be much better and more pro-looking photos. Tip #1: Don’t shoot down on flowers In an average day, if you were to walk by some vibrant-looking flowers along the road, you will surely be looking down at these thinking how beautiful they are. When you shoot flowers when you are standing, looking down at them like we always do, and your flower shots will look average. If you want to create a powerful visual interest in your flower shots, don’t shoot them in angles we see every day. That means not shooting down on them and instead getting from a lower angle shooting them at their level. This is what pros always do and what amateurs miss. Tip #2: Macro Lens to get Really Close Macro lenses are lenses suitable for taking photographs unusually close to the subject. A macro lens has a very shallow depth of field that when photographing a rose, petals in front are in focus and the petals in the back are out of focus. I’m not talking about an arrangement of roses in a vase – I mean one single rose. Use a tripod when using a macro lens because even a tiny bit of movement can ruin your photo. Tip# 3: Shoot with Zoom Lens It doesn’t have to be a macro lens all the time. Shooting with a zoom lens will do the trick. Benefits of this lens is that it can let you zoom in tight to have the flower fill the frame and it’s easy to put the background out of focus. Shoot in aperture priority mode then uses the smallest aperture your lens have then compose the flower in your shot. Doing this will put the background out of focus giving more emphasis at the flower creating a stronger visual composition. Tip #4: Ideal Time for Shooting Flowers There are three ideal times to shoot flowers: 1) On a Cloudy day. The sun is behind the clouds giving soft shadows to the flower. No direct sunlight can touch the flower’s petals making them look vibrant. Overcast days are flower photographer’s best friend. 2)If you can’t shoot during an overcast day you might want to shoot just after the rain. It’s a magical moment for the sky is still overcast and raindrops are still on the petals. Use a macro and a tripod to capture the raindrops which add visual interest to the flowers. 3)Now if you shoot during sunny days, try to shoot in the morning or late afternoon just like the golden rule of landscape photographers. The reason for doing this is you can avoid that harsh direct sunlight during noon time which is what we are trying to avoid. Now go shoot some flowers! I hope you’ll be satisfied with the result and following these basics will surely help you a lot!

By: Christelle MarambaEvery day you hear reports and news about death, somebody from your neighborhood just got shot, a friend of a friend of yours got robbed and killed, a person got salvaged near you, etc. Hearing and seeing these kinds of things everyday can affect your psyche, it may lead you to paranoia and anxiety and maybe even thanatophobia or the fear of death.
Thanatophobia, may also be called Death Anxiety, is the feeling of dread or anxiety or apprehension when an individual thinks of the process of “dying” or just ceasing to “be” or “exist”. This kind of fear is common in the elderly, but is also now manifesting itself with the young because of what is happening in our society. According to Sigmund Freud, the fear of death is not exactly the fear of dying itself, because we have never tried dying, but more of the fact that we are still in conflict with the things we want to do with our life or the things we haven’t been able to do. We simply fear losing time to do what we want or that we still have some unresolved conflicts in life. In some cases, those people who have thanatophobia are more prone to actually losing precious time because they are busy overthinking their fear. Now, if you believe that you might have this phobia, here are some simple ways that could help you overcome it.
4. Carpe Diem -Seize the Day! Enjoy yourself and never let your fear get in your way. Every day is an adventure just waiting for you to take that big step. Always remember that you can never achieve anything if you have fear in your heart. These are just some basic steps but I hope that they can help you, even if just a bit. Please remember that we should never let our fears control us because our fears are never bigger than us, but is only a tiny part of our being. Enjoy Life! By: Denise Go If you have a problem with the alignment of your teeth, braces are your best friend. Braces are fun and terrifying, fun because you know that after braces, your teeth will be aligned and you can now smile as wide as you want, and terrifying because you would have to tolerate the pain and avoid food that are not good for your braces. Here are three of the things you should keep in mind while you have your braces: Always brush your teeth. Technically, you should always brush after very meal to remove unnecessary food particles attached to your braces. The longer the food particles are trapped in your teeth the more risk you have in developing dental problems. Try to use a toothbrush with soft round bristles and twice a day is the standard oral care recommendation. Before you start brushing your teeth, rinse your mouth with water to loosen food particles stuck in your braces. It is also important to brush each tooth at the gum line and both above and below the brackets. Afterwards, clean the brackets at downward angle on top of the brackets and brushing at an upward angle at the bottom of the brackets and then rinse after brushing. Floss daily. Flossing at least once a day is a big help for your teeth. Flossing helps in removing the tiny particles which are stuck in between your teeth because brushing alone is not enough; flossing can reach the parts where your toothbrush can’t reach. You don’t only floss between your braces but also under the wire. In order for your floss to go under the wire, use an orthodontic flosser or floss threader. After flossing, you can also use a mouthwash to kill any bacteria left in your mouth. Watch what you eat. According to the Academy of General Dentistry, teeth with braces need extra attention to protect them from decay, gum diseases, and staining. Prevent from eating sticky or chewy sweets and crunchy or hard food in order to avoid damaging the braces. Once those sticky or chewy foods are stuck in your braces, it will be nightmare for you. Plaques build up around the bracket if you eat too much sugary food that causes the staining of the teeth, causing cavities and leading to gum disease. Foods such as ice, nuts, and popcorn can break the wires of the braces and the loosening of the brackets. Crunchy and hard foods can also damage the wire, because of its hard texture. Keeping your teeth healthy is a must, especially if you are wearing braces. That’s why always remember that it’s okay to eat a lot of food but make sure that the food you are eating will not cause any damage to your braces. If you really can’t resist eating hard or crunchy food, try cutting them into tiny bite-size pieces. by Mhon NavarroHaving photos that are sharp and in focus is so important to pro photographers. There’s not just one trick that will give you the sharp photos the pros get – it’s done with a combination of things that all come together to give you a sharp quality image. To get the same sharp quality photos that pro photographers get, there are several things you need to have.
Aside from having a camera that well help you take the shot, a tripod is your best bud that will help you get a professionally sharp looking image. A tripod let you have a stable foundation that helps your camera focus without any interference that will result in distortion especially when you're taking photos in a low-light situation and in a slow shutter speed. But having a tripod is not enough. Pro photographers make use of a shutter cable release connected to a camera instead of pressing the button. Take note: When pressing the button of your camera may cause slight movements that will still affect the output of your image. A shutter cable release is simply a cable that attaches to your camera and it has a button on the end of it. Using this cable will let you take photos without using your camera’s button. No shutter cable release? No worries! Because you may use your camera’s built-in self-timer. What does this do is to let you adjust the timer for several seconds before your camera takes photos and also let you take photos without touching your camera. Locking the mirror, Canon and Nikon digital SLRs do have a feature called Exposure Delay (Nikon) and Mirror Lockup (Canon). What this does is it locks the camera’s mirror and in the up position, so when you take the shot, the mirror doesn’t move until after the exposure is made – limiting the movement of the camera. It will give you a better and sharper photo. It’s best when you use a tripod for this technique. A common technique pros usually do to assure subject’s sharpness is to zoom in. By using your camera’s zoom button it let you zoom in close and see clearly those details and check if your subject is really in focus. Do this right in the spot before or after you take the shot using your camera’s live view mode. This will let you retake the shot if you don’t feel satisfied with it. What if you don’t have a tripod or a shutter cable release? You have no choice but to hand-hold your camera? This may help you do the trick. Not all places will allow you to use a tripod and you will find yourself holding your camera to take photos and by this reason that you will surely get camera shake which you are avoiding to have. Try a trick pros use when they are in the same situation – you must switch your camera to a continuous shooting (burst) mode and hold down the camera’s button to take continuous photos instead of taking just one. Chances you may have are at least one of those dozen photos is going to be sharp and it can save you from missing it if it’s an important shot. An additional trick if you can’t use a tripod is to lean a wall or something solid to help you keep yourself steady and they look for stationary objects as a substitute for a tripod. Another trick pro used to have a steadier hand-held shot is twisting you camera strap into your hands while you take photos. It gives you extra stability and sharper shots while you hand-held your camera by wrapping your camera strap around your arm. There you have it, try to do all of this and you will surely get a better, sharper and professional looking images that pros get. Have fun clicking! by Mhon NavarroThis 2016, Warner Bros is releasing two DC movies. First is Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice that was released on March 26, 2016, and recently, Suicide Squad that was released on August 5, 2016.

Suicide Squad is an American Superhero film based on the DC Comics anti-hero team which include super villains who were coerced to do dangerous missions. Suicide Squad has been an importance in the DC movies since its writer, John Ostrander rejuvenates the group in the 1980s, and now they get the chance to shine in the DC Cinematic Universe. Despite receiving negative reviews from critics the film stands to become one of this year’s biggest hits. By: Patricia Baguio“Never talk to strangers!”
Our parents often remind this back when we were still little. As we grow old, it is acceptable not to obey them regarding this matter since we are already mature enough to handle things right. And with this fast evolving world, there are a lot of ways to meet new people and communicate with them continuously, one of this ways is through the internet. There is a popular website called Omegle, pronounced as “Oh!-meg-ell”, a site where you are able to chat with different people all over the world. It was launched seven years ago and has garnered around 150,000 page views a day and up till now, it is consistently getting a hundred thousand page views each day. We might have seen a lot of people talking about Omegle online and how thrilling the site is. It seems interesting because a hundred thousand individuals are spending time on it. And to satisfy our curiosity, we’ll visit Omegle and try how it works. To start chatting, you will first have to choose one of the two options on how you want to chat; you can chat in text only or chat with video, where a webcam is needed. You are also given the choice to input interests, where you can input as many as you want. In the text chat, it is optional to show your picture. For security reasons, chat anonymously because it is noted that predators also use this site, so be careful. On the other hand, the video option has two categories: the monitored one, where anyone aged 13 and up are allowed to view as long as his or her video stream is clean; and the unmonitored one, where only adults, ages 18 and up, are allowed to use the section. Whichever option you choose, there is only one thing that you should keep in mind, be careful in sharing your personal information. As soon as you’ve decided on how you want to chat, Omegle will immediately find your pair. If you are not interested in your pair, just simply click the disconnect button and move on to the next person. You might be wondering why users are hooked up with this site, so after some research, the consensus is to meet new people with the same interests as you. However, the site has been criticized because of several people who use it as a way of harming people, which brought the creator, Leif K-Brooky, disappointment. On the other hand, K-Brooky still sends his thank you to the people who appreciate his creation. |
