Weekend Reflections: Instangram Fun

Dominique Parenting and Kids, Thoughts, Weekend Reflections picture taking

This week I’ve tried new application which some of my friends had been using- Instagram. I’ve know that this application was available for the Iphone but didn’t know that it is now available for android phones. I’ve been having fun playing with this new app and love how easy it is to jazz up the picture using the filters available. It is really an easy way to share photos.

However the resolution of the photos taken by the phone is not as good after such processing.

Here is the same photo again but processed on the PC in Picasa. I feel that the photo looks sharper and clearer being process online then in instagram. However for pictures on the go it is surely hand especially when I do not have my camera around.

What have you been playing around this week?

Bags and Cheesecake on a Friday

Dominique Parenting and Kids, Thoughts Friday Memes

The bags

Tiger girl just entered school and to get her ready we went shopping for a school bag for her. I initially wanted to get her a Pororo school bag as it is her favourite cartoon character. However after browsing online and looking at the sizes of the Pororo school bag I found them unsuitable for her needs.

The next favourite character of hers is Hello Kitty. There are plentiful Hello Kitty bags on sale in the department store but I didn’t settle for any as they were a bit too pricey for my liking. I saw a really nice Hello Kitty bag in purple but at $90 it is not something which I would invest in for her at her age.

In the end we decided on this pink pokka dot bag for her. Tiger girl chose it from the shelves herself and is happy to carry her own school bag. I decided to buy new school bags for the boys too since we were buying a school bag for the girl. I was sure that they too will be delighted to have a new school bag each in their favourite colours.

After all the shopping the kids were looking forward to having some cake. Instead of eating out I decided to bake a cheesecake instead. Monkey boy loves chocolate while Doggie boy would prefer a plain cheesecake. To please both boys I decided to bake a chocolate swirl cheesecake instead. The best of both in a cake.

Any interesting happening in your live this week?
