My 'must have' apps for the android smartphone

-
Just for the record, I'm not including the basic and essential apps such as the camera, calendar, music player, messaging, clock, etc. just because we already know those are awesome and most smartphones have those as at default.  :)

#1 Youtube
I watch yt all the time so it would be weird if I didn't have this on my phone. xP  It's fairly good at predicting what I would want to watch but still not the best video predictor.

#2 MangaZoo
I stumbled across this app a long time ago and although there are a lot of other manga apps out there, I love Manga Zoo's organizing system; They provide little snapshots of each manga in your favorites section, categorize manga into different genres for you to easily browse, usually provides synopsis's of manga, checks off manga chapters you've already read, and lets you search your favorite mangaka.

#3 Gmail
Gmail, yahoo, or whatever other emailing system you use, it's really helpful to have an app for it.

#4 Instagram
Now don't get me wrong, I'm no pinterest hater, I simply downloaded Instagram first.  I was introduced to instagram by a cousin who lives in another state including pretty much all my other cousins.  I mostly use instagram to picture stalk them and see what they're up to, lol.  I also have fun looking up different 'hashtags' which are just categories that pictures are put into and find someone's pictures that I like.  It's also a pretty awesome way to see the world if you can't always travel to certain places.  Say there's someone in Japan posting pictures, you could 'follow' them and see their world through pictures.  I find that truly amazing.

#5 Netflix
Like youtube I also have netflix so eh, why not have it on my phone?  At first it was a novelty to have a movie or TV show playing on such a small screen while I'm laying in bed.  But now that I have a TV in my room, I don't have much of a need for it.  Then again, I could always use it to kill time somewhere if I have my charger in hand and a lot of data to spare.

#6 PhotoWonder
A girl's gotta camwhore sometime right?  I really like PhotoWonder's beautify option where you can do things from making your skin look nicer to making your eyes bigger.  Anyway, it's fun if you want to prettify yourself and have some vainity time on your phone.  lol

#7 Cat's Brightness
This app is good for me because it lets me easily adjust my screen brightness depending on how far gone my battery is.  This helps so much for conserving my phone's battery life.

#8 AccuWeather
This is a widget app meaning that it's already functional on the phone screen without having to hit an app icon.  I like this weather app because it's extremely detailed, accurate, and doesn't take too much space on the screen.  It also gives me over a week of extended forecast.

#9 Music Paradise
This is my special little app that I use to download music *It will be our little secret*.  It doesn't have all the music but it has quite a range of selection.  Hear a song you like?  Try looking it up on Music Paradise.  You just might find it on there and be able to download it to your phone!

#10 Cute Puppy Memo
Here's another widget that's super adorable.  It features a cute little dog of your choice with either a thinking bubble or voice bubble filled with all your notes.  It's super cute and a great notepad for your phone.  You can write stuff like a grocery list or things to do and you'll be constantly reminded of it each time you look at your phone.

Anime Food!: Brock's Cream Stew

-
Image
Hello again!  My apologies for taking so long to make another 'Anime Food' post.  Enjoy! During my childhood days of watching Pokemon, I would often see Brock cooking this white stew thing.  It would look so yummy but I had no idea what it was..  And even though my entire family and extended family was Japanese, none of them ever made something like this.  (T__T)  The closest thing I got was corn chowder. Only recently did I discover that it's called cream stew and luckily, it's quite the easy recipe. ^^ I remember the very first time I made this.  I used a cream stew mix pack from the store (the one that has the blocks that you melt in the pot).  That turned out pretty bad so I highly recommend people make this one from scratch.  It's really does taste so much better this way.  I'm lazy so instead of having the pretty diced pieces of carrot, I threw in some baby carrots.  XD Close up ;3 I found this recipe ...

Why does Lightning look so different in FFXIII Lightning Returns? [SPOILERS-!]

-
Image
I finally finished the game Lightning Returns recently and zomg, why does her face look so different?  I mean, she looks like she got plastic surgery. Before I begin, I'd like to point out that I am not criticizing the game in its entirety.  This is solely about the change in Lightning's hair and facial design.  The game play of Lightning Returns has nothing to do with this. :) I didn't really notice her face change until I beat the game and watched the ending CG animation scene.  (pic above is from the opening CG scene) I was a bit disappointed that the animators weren't consistent in her facial design, especially when it was so beautiful to begin with. Here's some compare/contrast pics I found. This one is of the CG animation for FFXIII, FFXIII-2, and FFXIII Lightning Returns. And here's the cutscene animation.  It's a bit more difficult to tell the difference in the cutscene animation unless you look closely. The hair...

I dyed my hurr!: Kao Liese Bubble Hair Color, Milk Tea Brown

-

Don't make fun of my fingers, I already know they're short and fat! lol My hair is really stubborn.  No matter what hair dye I use to lighten it, the results are almost always the same.  Even when my hair is already lightened, it somehow still manages to retain that same coppery brown color... In this case, I seemed to have gotten the 'generic' result for "Dark color hair..." I dyed my virgin Asian black/dark brown hair and here are the results:   Window lighting. (Somehow this always alters the color)  Indirect daylight lighting  Bathroom lighting Box color to actual hair comparison in low light.  Seems like it was right after all.  xP On an everyday basis, my hair color looks like a cross between window lighting and indirect daylight lighting. I was honestly freaked out at first because my hair initially looked like it was slightly bleached orange.  But after a few days, it darkened down to what i...
