He loves me? He loves me not?

Wows, I haven't blogged in a while! I know, I know, it's only been a couple of days! I can't stay away from my envied friends! Today, I'm going to discuss about relationships.


I feel like I have been missing out on life. And part of that reason is because, nearly 80% of my friends are dating XD and here I am single. I mean, I'm not jealous, don't take it the wrong way! I feel like as if I'm missing out on life 'cause of it. I mean...as a human, we have feelings for SOMEONE in our life. And I think (being me who has no interest in dating or anything) I have found that "someone". Is this part of puberty or what?! It's an interesting feeling to be honest.


Today at school, I hung out with my besties. And out of those besties, I'm close to five (Jason, Sarah, Sortia, Abigail, and Emily). Today, Sean and I were hanging in the Atrium "cuddling". Well I don't know if it is cuddling to be honest. I sat on the steps that lead to the Atrium and Sean comes over and kind of sit/lays on me. I wrap my arms around him and give him a little hug and just stay like that. (It was kind of a reflex, I wasn't really thinking.)
Then we talk and talk until one of my friends just walk over and try to tie my shoe laces together. Sean just suddenly goes protective and wards them off like my personal body guard. I mean, that could be normal among friends right?
 Anyways we stay like that for a while, and I have to admit, it felt nice. It made me feel warm in the inside. The bell rung so we can head to our first period, and Sean wouldn't get off. He claimed that I was too comfy to lay on and wouldn't stand up. I hugged him and said, "Pleaseeee~~". He got up and I went over to this table where I lay my books down to grab my stuff. When I turn around to head to first period, Sean holds out his arms for a hug.
Me and him hug nearly everyday, like friends, but today it was different! He hugged me tighter, with more feeling. And before I left, I swear that he kissed my head before he left. The rest of the day I felt confused. I mean, yeah I like him, okay let's be honest here, I love him. I've crushed over him for quite a while now to think about it. His ex, which is also my bestie (Abigail), was totally fine with it since she claims, "It was my mistake to even date him." So...yeah....I'm very confused, and kind of happy to be honest. Is this normal ;-; ?
Maybe I'm over reacting?
Do you think I'd be with him?
Maybe not?
Maybe so?

Weight Loss (The Painless Edition)

Weight loss, sounds PAINFUL~~~ But no worries! I have found some great tips on painless weight loss! Impossible right, but I am the Envied Fox, I do the impossible ):3

1. ADD DON'T SUBTRACT!
Forget denying your diet, add more food to your diet! However, this does not mean add hostess cakes, Twinkies, chocolate, sweets, etc. to your diet. It means:
    - add some fruits (cherries, apples, watermelons, juicy grapes, etc.) Slip these into your purse or lunch box and take 'em to go!
"Adding in really works, taking away never does," says registered dietitian David Grotto, RD, LDN, author of 101 Optimal Life Foods, but do remember to keep an eye on overall calories. And don't forget to add in something physical, too, whether it's doing a few dance moves before dinner, shooting hoops, or taking a quick stroll.

2. FORGET ABOUT WORKING OUT
Okay so yes you do need to exercise but remember, you're basically dieting based on visual and mental aspects. Think working out as just frolicking. So burn calories and invigorate muscles by beach-combing, riding bikes, grass skiing, making snow angels, hiking, washing the car, playing Frisbee, chasing the dog around the yard, etc.! As a fellow maiden, I enjoy paint-balling and that, my friends, takes more than just running around.

3. GO WALKING
As humans, we walk more than 10,000 steps in a average day.
 Walking when the weather's nice is a super-easy way to keep fit, says Diane Virginia's, a certified nursing assistant from New York. "I enjoy the seasons," she says, adding that even when she's short on time she'll go out for a few minutes. "Even a five minute walk is a five minute walk."

No sidewalks in your neighborhood? Try these tips for slipping in more steps:

• Trade your power mower for a push version.
• Park your car at the back of the lot. (Well if you drive that is, this is what my mom does.)
• Sweep the drive or rake the leaves instead of using a leaf-blower.
• Get off the bus a few stops earlier.
• Hike the mall, being sure to hit all the levels.
• Take the stairs every chance you get.
• Sign up for charity walks.
• Crank the music and get your heart rate up the next time you mop or vacuum.

4. LIGHTEN UP ON THE FOODS YOU CRAVE/LOVE
Pizza- a fatty cheese tomato mix thingy with greasy pepperoni on a high carb. pie. You love it? How are you going to lose weight like that then hmm~? Lighten it by ordering vegan pizza or using a CLEAN napkin to remove excess grease. Ask diners if they have any light and low-fat versions of it.
Keep your eyes out for fiber as well. Fiber helps you feel satisfied longer, so while you lighten family favorites, you can easily amp up the fiber by adding a cup of whole wheat flour to your pizza dough, or toss a handful of red bell peppers on the pie.
Don't forget to lighten the drinks going with that meal. Try switching from high-calorie favorites to diet soda or light beer, or maybe add a spritz of seltzer to your wine. (Well I drink non-alcoholic wine, if you live close to Jack Britt, stop by and grab a non-alcoholic wine if your parents let you.)

5. DRINK A LOT OF WATER
Hydration helps, A LOT.
Down some water before a meal and you won't feel so famished, says David Anthony, an information technology consultant from Atlanta. "Drinking a glass of water before a meal helps me watch what I eat. … I don't just hog everything, since I'm not so hungry."
Keeping your body refreshed while "working-out" can keep you refreshed. Put it this way, Hydration is "long lasting exercise than you not drinking water at all"

6. SHARE
Start going Dutch! Share a meal with someone! Whenever I got out to MacDonald's or Burger King with my friends, I just share a meal with them. Not only is it healthier but it's cheaper!
"When you're trying to eat better or get more exercise, you can be more successful if you do it with a partner or group," says Grotto. "The community, the partnership, whether online or in person, it really helps."

7. TUNE TONE UP

The American Heart Association knows what we love: television. And they also know we need to get more exercise. So why not combine the two, they ask?

Try dancing to the music when you tune into your favorite music show, or practice some stress-relieving cardio boxing when your least favorite reality contestant is on camera.

Or when the commercial comes on, do a few sit ups or something.

8. SIZE MATTERS

Fool yourself by serving meals on a small plate. Serving meals on a large plate may make your brain think it's a small meal and may crave more. (Did You Know?: Really expensive restaurants use big plates with small meals on them so the customer would buy more of the expensive dish.)

 And don't forget smaller bowls, cups, and spoons. For example, try savoring a bowl of ice cream with a baby spoon. Not only does the pleasure last longer, but your body has time to register the food you've eaten.

9. LOSE IT TODAY, KEEP IT OFF TOMORROW

Be patient while doing all this stuff! It's not like anyone can lose weight in a matter of minutes! Remind yourself why you're doing this! Is your goal to get the attention of another man? Or is it for a fitness test? REMIND YOURSELF!!

To be honest though, I don't think anyone should lose weight because of visual aspects.

The Best Phone to Own

This is the everyday question people ask: What is the BEST phone to own?
Well as of the year 2014 and EARLY 2015, I say the iPhone 6 an 6 plus tops this year's best phones.


The iPhone 6 and 6 plus
With an innovative seamless design, Apple has done it again! The iPhone 6/6 plus is Apple's most advance display, with a bigger screen, new sensor with Focus Pixels, new video features, and its very thin (6.9 mm and 7.1 mm).
Apple claims that they scrutinized every element out there to create this magnificent display.  A thinner profile made possible with there thinnest display yet. This phone is all made with a beautiful anodized aluminum, stainless steel, and glass. It is a thousand tiny details that add up to something fantastically big!
* An Innovative Seamless Design
The first thing you notice while holding the iPhone 6/6 plus is how nice it feels in your hands. The cover glass curves down around the sides dovetailing with the anodized aluminum enclosure in a smoother design. There are no distinct edges, no gaps, no breaks. This phone is just a smooth, seamless bond of metal and glass that feels like one never ending surface.
* Streamlined
Apple claims that designing a larger phone without making it feel bigger wasn't an easy thing to do. The goal here was big and light (that statement kind of contradicts one another). It meant simplifying a powerful tech. and making chips even smaller and batteries thinner, all at the same time, more CAPABLE. This meant, Apple engineered the thinnest, most advanced, Multi-Touch display. All that which contains a dramatically thin design.
* Everything Within Reach
By creating the iPhone 6 and iOS 8/ 8.1 together, apple optimized the software to enhance the physical design. iOS swipe gestures were designed to be more fluid across the seamless form, making it easier to navigate the phone with one hand. (Realize that in my last blog I said not to single use the iPhone 6 PLUS and not the six itself.)
You can interact the larger screen in multiple ways. Simply double tap the Home button and the entire screen shifts down closer to your thumb. To easily navigate to Safari or Mail, swipe left to right across the screen to go backward, or swipe right to left to go forward. With all these adavanced placements, all your gestures feel smooth and free.
To create a larger iPhone that is extraordinarily light, Apple pioneered new display technologies. They carefully selected and tested each material. Each detail was meticulously designed, engineered, and crafted until Apple achieved an incredibly thin form. This phone comes in three colors: gold, silver, and space gray. (I personally favor Space Gray)

                                                           

Just a Heads Up

From now on, I'll be doing reviews on technology. Because Tech. is life. I'll do fun blogs every now and then if something interesting happens. Oh and comment a request if you want me to review a recent technology (phones, computers, watches, etc.) I'm going to make blog my life^^ Just a little heads up for all my envied friends!

iWatch (Release Date, Rumors, etc.)

I'm pretty sure all of us as heard about the new iWatch that apple is creating. I have gone around and looked up its: release date, rumors, feature speculation and more :L

1. What is the IWatch?
The iWatch is an IOS 8 friendly watch that plays nicely with your iPhone.

2. When will it be released?
It is said to be released on a early 2015 release date.

3. What is the iWatch for?
The iWatch is apples first wearable item. It is supposed to be an easier way to carry it than having to stuff a giant iPhone 6/6 plus in your pocket or a iPad Air 2 in your backpack. (My question is, will schools allow it?)  Other apps seen in the Apple Watch video include iMessages, Health, Calendar, Weather, Mail, Photos, Camera's shutter button, Passbook that now includes Apple Pay and even Apple Maps for navigation. Developers will now be readying more Apple Watch apps in the coming month. Oh, and looking forward to lose some weight as well? The iWatch has an app that keeps up with your fitness and physical health.

4. Other Extra Stuff.
The iWatch is supposedly made of stainless steel and aluminum. According to the Apple company, the iWatch is supposed to withstand daily activities. It is heard that Apple corp. will release "colors" as well: those that include silver, 18-karat gold, and 18-karat rose gold. Apple watch doesn't have a unique round display like the Moto 360, however it has a circular knob, known as the "digital crown".
The digital crown is supposed to replace the "pinch-to-zoom" touchscreen mechanic used on iPhones and MacBooks. Rotating  it allows you to zoom into you app selection. The digital crown also acts as a home button for the iWatch. There is no touch sensor on the iWatch, however the watch will automatically lock when taken off (you can unlock it).

The button below the digital crown allows you to start a conversation with friends. Pushing it brings up a their contact info photos and zooming into a specific person with the digital crown gets things started.
Beyond calling and messaging them, you can get their attention with a gentle tap. It vibrates the "taptic" feedback on their smartwatch.
What's intriguing about this taptic feedback system is that it's said to be more precise and subtle than a vibration everyone can hear. Want to ditch a party? Your friends' secret sign may be three taps on the Apple Watch before bailing. It's an interesting way to get someone's attention.
Apple Watch goes all Drawesome on us with a bizarre sketch function for light messaging on the wrist. You can also share your heartbeat with someone in real time.
The variety of Apple Watch bands played better than U2 at the press conference, giving consumers a way to personalize their smartwatch.
Standard straps include Leather Loop that conceals magnets for easy fastening, the leather Modern Buckle and the leather Classic Buckle. There's also a gym-friendly elastomer Sport Band.
Apple is promising customizable watch faces with "millions of different appearances." It brings everything to its timepieces, from time lapse backgrounds to classic Mickey Mouse arms as dials.
However, just to be clear, the smartwatch comes with a base of 11 watch faces, according to the official Apple Watch press release. Most allow you to change the colors, design elements and add functionality.
The Apple Watch face gallery shows off an Astronomy design with an interactive, real-time 3D model of the earth, moon and planets. Likewise, the Solar acts as a contemporary sundial.
Tim Cook didn't go into great detail about the Apple Watch battery life, but he did hint that the smartwatch is designed to be "worn all day" and is "simple to charge at night."
That had led us to believe that the Apple Watch will approximately have one day battery life, sort of like the Moto 360, LG G Watch and Samsung Gear Live we've reviewed.
An Apple spokesperson backs up our theory, more or less confirming that the smartwatch requires a daily charge. The person also reportedly said Apple is working on modifications to eek out more battery life.
Previously, when it was known as the Apple iWatch, it was rumored to have a 400mAh battery, but Cook is saving that announcement for a later date.
He did, however, call attention to the unique recharging method. The Apple Watch's back crystal houses a magnetic inductive wireless charging solution similar to the MagSafe design. Again, it looks as if Apple bucks another trend - this time it's the popular Qi wireless charging method - in favor of its own standard.
For a gadget that supposedly keeps the time, the Apple Watch release date speculation has been all over the place. It highlighted the fact that no one outside of Apple had the full scoop until September 9.
Just don't expect that to be the iPhone-compatible watch's release date this year. Apple's official line is that it won't deliver the Apple Watch until early 2015.
Reports in the Taiwanese media have placed the release date as sometime in February. Those same reports suggest manufacturing of the Apple Watch has slipped to January due to Apple being constrained by the amount of sapphire that supplier GTAT is able to produce for the device's display.
This could mean that when the Apple Watch does arrive, there could be less than the targeted 10 million smartwatches the company may want for the launch window. Although it's important to bear in mind that Apple's entry-level model, the Apple Watch Sport, doesn't include a sapphire display.
This may mean that while numbers of the Apple Watch and Apple Watch Edition versions are less than expected, the company can still produce enough Apple Watch Sport models.
An even trickier question than "when will it come out?" has been "how much will the Apple Watch cost?" There's really no precedent for a premium smartwatch price just yet.

The Iphone 6 Plus Review

Okay so I received the Iphone 6 Plus a couple weeks ago. I used it up until now and I realized there are few pros and cons. Some of the pros in the iphone 6 plus include:
1. Long Lasting Battery
OMG This is the only thing I love about the Iphone 6 plus! This thing (if you use it non-stop) can last you a day and a half (I didn't turn on power saving mode either)! The phone stays nice and cool, it's warm around the corners but it's a great improvement!
2. Great Camera Lens
Yes, the camera lens do protrude from the phone and yes, it does wobble when placed on a flat surface. However it isn't much of a difference to me. The camera lens are protected with a metal ring, so don't worry too much. The wide screen gives you a GREAT opportunity to capture the best moments. There is a slow motion option on the video part and all that good stuff!
3. Fingerprint Scanner
The Iphone 6 plus has a new passcode lock. You can now use your finger print to unlock your phone! I think this would take a little practice to master however. It took me at least 8 tries before I could finally unlock my phone with no problem.
4. Vibration Controls
You can now control your vibration which I think is a pretty neat thing. I don't know if this is a new software but I LOVE it.
5. Large Screen
With a 5.5" screen, this phone is truly a masterpiece! In the past six weeks, the total number of times I used my kindle, ipad, tablets, ipod, etc. is ZERO!


However this phone also has its cons.
Some of its cons include:
1. WAY TOO SMOOTH EDGES
No kidding, I like that it is smooth but without a case it can be "slippery". In other words, it's way too smooth! I personally prefer the 5 and 5s rectangular frame.
2. Bending
I hate the fact that you have to be extra careful about this phone. I've watched people bend this phone easily. I try not to put this phone in my back "butt" pocket since I'm scared I'll damage it or something.

Anyways, those are the few pros and cons I noticed in the Iphone 6 Plus. (OH for those of you who have it, do not single hand use this phone!)
