HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
We don't usually celebrate Halloween in Australia, but lots of people still get dressed up in costumes and have parties! I found this video and I thought it was pretty cool! It's a Halloween light show in sync to PSY's 'Gangnam Style'! I am posting early this week, so there will be no new post on Friday because I'm posting today! Also, my prayers are with those who are affected by hurricane 'Sandy'.
Stay safe this Halloween and I will see you next week!

Pottermore

Hey,
Sorry this post is a little late!
I know Pottermore came out last year, but, I would like to share it with those who haven't heard of it! I was very lucky and I won a chance to be one of the first million people to use the site! I had to find and catch 'The Magic Quill' which told you if you were magic. Pottermore is an interactive site, where you go through the books and you experience the story and you collect objects. You can boil potions, duel other witches and wizards, shop at Diagon Ally, Get sorted into a house, and play many other mini games in different parts of the books!
This video is the announcement video from J.K.Rowling! I have been sorted into Ravenclaw! Pottermore is now open to the public! Visit Pottermore here: www.pottermore.com

See you next week!

Fotoshop by Adobé

Hey,
Have you ever wanted perfect skin, super white teeth and long eyelashes? You now can in minutes with Fotoshop by Adobé!
This video is not a real ad, but it looks just like one, showing that just because they look amazing in magazines and books, doesn't mean that it is always physically possible to look that way! It is a very funny approach!

If you see any videos or news stories or anything that you want me to post, comment a link, your name and whether you want your comment posted!

See you next week,
Nerdling! :)
See you next week!

How far would you go for Fantastic Delites

Hey,
I saw this in a newspaper and so I looked it up. The Delight O Matic was a machine built to see how far people would go for a free box of Fantastic's Delites. The machine had funny challenges such as pressing a button 5000 time, doing a robot dance and hopping on one foot! This hilarious video shows people trying their hardest to get a free box of biscuits. There are other video as well! See you next week!

The Problems of Text Talk (I have a new profile pic!)

Hi,

A lot of the time when you go on Facebook or Twitter, people are always shortening their words to text talk (sms talk). Don’t you hate it when you get a text from a friend and you open it and it says:

“OMG did u c amy? Did u c wat shirt she ws wearn? The 1 Im wearn 4 da party looks gr8! K, g2g, cya!”

People are just shortening and misspelling words on purpose just because they are too lazy to talk properly. It’s not just kids and teens, but more and more adults are also doing it! Some kids get so used to speaking in abbreviation that they learn to use it in school work and real life things. It becomes a bad habit that they need to reverse.

I believe that if we continue that way, our country will eventually become unable to construct a sentence correctly without any abbreviations. So next time you go onto Facebook or Twitter or any other online communication method, please try to use your language correctly and respect it or one day in the far future our language may become a strangely spelled mess.

Also, I have a new profile picture!  

I would like to thank Honokuma, my friend who draws anime for drawing this amazing picture of me!!! His website is www.Honokuma.deviantart.com
The meaning behind this picture is the glasses are Harry Potter glasses to show my interest in the HP series (I don't actually wear glasses) and the blue dress is because I'm in Ravenclaw!!! The glasses also make me look a bit nerdy, don't you think???

I also like anime which is why my picture is anime chibi. (chibi means small/child, so if you draw someone as chibi, it means you are drawing them really small and cute but still with some adult features.)

THANK YOU HONOKUMA FOR THE AMAZING PROFILE PICTURE!!! ^_^

See you next Friday!

Nerdling ^_^
