MAKING GIFS ^^

TUTORIAL USING PHOTOSHOP. It's not the easiest way but it can be manipulated and edited such as in combining layers! :)

Click on the pictures for bigger view!

Step 1: Get a video you want to gif. If you're getting for youtube, you can use programs such as keepvid, savevid to get the video.

Step 2: Convert the video into a .mov file to be able to open it in photoshop! ( I use format factory)

Step 3: Open the video in photoshop! File, Import, Video from layers...


Step 4: Select the part of the video you want to gif by holding the shift button and sliding it.


* If the video is too big, you can crop the video using Quick Time Pro Player. They have a trim feature. :)

Step 5: The video will open, click window and then animation for the frames to show up. *Using BEAST win for gif*


Step 6: Time to edit your frames. Make sure that it is set in "forever". When you click play, the gif will play. Delete layers as you wish. If you want your gif to go faster, you can click the 3line icon at the upper left corner and click select all frames. After that, click the bottom of the frames where the time is, and you can change the time per frame to no delay.



Step 6: Click file Save for web and devices.



You can click image size or the different colors, dithers, diffusion to manipulate your gif. (right side)

Do this when you want to reduce the file size, you can check it out at the bottom left corner.
If you want to post it in TUMBLR, the file size should be less than 500 KB. :)
Then you can save it as a gif! Enjoy! :D

*The less the frames, the smaller the size :D

Tweety & Friends

Warning: This is more like a fan account rather than a blog.

Haha. Just the title says it all.

I've been saving this special blog for this special day. Finally, for those who are asking, here is your answer.

Why did we even call our little team, "Tweety & Friends"?

March 27, 2010 at our friend's house where the word Tweety & Friends was first brought up.

Buttttt, how did this even start?

Well, since me and my friend are 'addicted (well, you can call it that way)' to Pops in Seoul's All About You, there was this episode where Kevin mentioned he liked Tweety! And then me and my friend started to have this idea of "Hey, why don't we give Kevin something Tweety when they come here on the 26th of March?"

Came the day that we've been waiting for: March 26, 2010.

Can you define S-P-O-N-T-A-N-E-O-U-S?

We've split into 2 groups. 3 of us went to SM Megamall to line up for the stubs for the fanmeeting while 2 of us had make-up classes; thus, can't be there to line-up with the other 3.

SM Megamall group: Roadrunner, Pepe and Taz
Make-up class group (Boo. HAHAHA.): Tweety and Marvin


There were no plans of going to the airport because we've decided we wouldn't go there anymore because of the lack of time. Fortunately, everything fell into places and all of us ended up going to the airport as well. Hee. One of us even got to go inside and saw the boys for a period of time and finally, handed our big Tweety gift to Kevin. LOL.

And two of us got to give Kevin and Alexander sampaguitas to welcome them for their first stay in the Philippines! (Yeah, those 2 sampaguitas were just extras from the airport, it would've been way better if all 7 of them could receive double sampaguitas!)


"SM Megamall, we are ready!!!"

Yeah, that was the motto of the day. Went to SM Megamall to finally see the boys perform and get our CD's signed.

Hehe. We were lining up to get our CD's signed when unexpectedly, we ended up in front of U-Kiss. Hahaha!

*Soohyun looking at our camera.*

Of course, we wouldn't call the team, Tweety & Friends if nothing special had happened. Otherwise, we could've just called ourselves, "Sampaguita Vendors" or "Sampaguita and Other Flower Friends" HAHAHAHAHA! Anyway, we kept saying hi to the boys and asked them to look to the camera and suddenly, Kevin kinda recognized our friend and uttered vaguely the words:

"Oh! Tweety~?"

..And the rest is history. :)




Trivia:

- We were once four but due to our friend's easy manipulation of mind HAHA. We got her into K-Pop; thus, we became five and started Tweety & Friends.

- Although the name Tweety & Friends was not brought up until the 27th of March this year, the team itself was already been formed when FT Island came to the Philippines.

- We have decided to hide our names with these characters; hence, making them our "screen names". HAHA. -- Tweety (of course), Tazmanian Devil, Roadrunner, Pepe Le Pew and Marvin the Martian.


Team's Adventures (I prefer to call it escapades HAHA) :

WOAHHHHHH. We've been through ALOT. HAHAHA. I didn't realize it until I was listing all of them down.

Well, what can I say. It's been exactly 4 months since the team was officially created but did you know that the friendship already started from the time God let us live in this world? I have always believe it that way and definitely believe it would last a lifetime.

You all know our friendship lies deeper than all the K-Pop related stuff. We've been together way before we could even learn Math. HAHAHA. Anyway, you get the point.

I love you, team. I couldn't ask for any other team in this world than the four of you. You guys are and will always be irreplaceable.

Happy 4th Monthsary to the fruit of our craziness! It's hard but with you, everything seems easier and lighter.

Thank you to all our followers in our Tumblr and Twitter accounts, subscribers to our YouTube and friends who have continuously supported our little team from the very start. Just so you know, we appreciate every follower and you guys are the reason why we have the passion in keeping our Tumblr and Twitter accounts up-to-date. We promise to work harder!



And to the team, with my deepest gratitude,

THANK YOU. ♥

Do The Good You Can

I want to share with all of you this quote that moved and touched me so much.

"If you can't do the good you would, do the good you can."

Matthew Henry wrote: "Wherever the Providence of God casts us, we should desire and endeavor to be useful; and when we cannot do the good we would, we must be ready to do the good we can. And he that is faithful in a little shall be entrusted with more."

We may all have big-time plans in our lives--major league dreams that haven't panned out.

You were going to write a best-selling book, but the opportunities just haven't come along. Are you willing to write for your church newsletter?
You are about to star in a most-awaited drama or movie, but because of inevitable circumstances, it just didn't happen. Are you willing to play the smallest role for a charity event?
Maybe you would want to play in a big event, but things didn't work out. Are you willing to play for your church's choir?
Maybe you would wanted to teach in a seminary or a Bible school, but the pressures of life forced you in a different direction. Are you willing to teach in a Sunday school class?

Well, we can't dictate the future but we can live the present. It is a challenge for all of us to do the good we CAN.

Ask yourself, am I willing to do the good I can if the good I would want to do will fail?

When You Think Money CAN Buy Everything

Today, we live in a world that says, in many ways "money can buy everything".

Well unfortunately, most people believe it that way. Surely, money can buy satisfaction but not a lasting one and certainly not in the area where most things really matter. Have you realized that?

Let's see this:

1. Money can buy medicine, but not health.
2. Money can buy a house, but not a home.
3. Money can buy companionship, but not friends.
4. Money can buy a bed, but not sleep.
5. Money can buy the good life, but not the eternal life.
(Swindoll)

As cliche as it sounds, but it is still God alone who can provide us the everlasting happiness we need in our lives. And just when we think that money can buy everything, it just really can't. And I'm still one of the few ones who believe that "money can't buy everything".

Free your heart from hatred, free your mind from worries. Live simply! Expect less and give more. That is the way to true happiness.
