Instagram?

Hey all!

Man, I've been posting more in these few days than I've done in the past few months huh? Not that I'm proud of being inactive, mind you. Recently I've just gotten more of the feeling of when I started Tales. That brilliant feeling of wanting to share my thoughts with you readers, anonymous on the internet as an entity I don't know.

As always, thank you very much if you're a regular reader. It REALLY does mean a lot to me that you guys keep coming back for more random posts. As you might have seen, Fox's Tales isn't a specialist blog for food or hobbies. It's just my... pensive I guess. Just feeding thoughts into it and leave it as that.

On to what I want to say.

Many bloggers I've seen  have at least once or twice complained about microblogging sites such as Twitter. It's true that having a quick one liner that you agree with saves you time. But I do feel like doing so robs people of their writing aptitude. You don't need to think much and just say a sentence. That is, of course, only my personal views.

Hand in hand with these sites are apps like Instagram. Ironically, I don't mind using this app. Though it serves the same purpose of microblogging. Only using pictures. But as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. I do feel like a hypocrite bashing Twitter but using Instagram, but meh, I use it out of satisfaction haha.

On the note of Instagram, if you want to follow me, find me at foxeh88. You'll see random pictures I don't post here. You won't be too disappointed with the picture feeds I assure you. ;D

I guess this post is totally a shameless plug to my probably near-zero reader base. But hey! At least you get a random post from me today too! Hahaha!

See you on Hipstergram!

SoundHound!

Hey guys!

So literally a half hour ago, I was bored so I whipped out my SoundHound app to check out what songs that I found nice so I can look for and listen to it on the internet.

Wait, I'm getting ahead of myself. What is SoundHound you say? Basically it's an app which listens to music, and then tells you what song it is, including information like whether it's a remix, lyrics, music videos and so on.

It is one of my most favourite apps on my iPhone (yes, hipster much). Especially when driving, you hear a nice song on the radio and the DJ tells you the name of the track. But if you're like me, you'd likely forget about it by the time the next few songs play. Or maybe I'd just forget about it completely when I get home even with knowing name and artist. So to me it's wonderful really, an app that tells you what the song is, if you tell me something like this will happen during my teen years, I'd probably cream my pants in anticipation.

As you can see from the post it's not a review but just me wanting to share this really great app for music lovers.

It's available on the both the Apple and Android appstore. At least I think it is lol.

Hope you guys like it as much as I do. ;D

May the 4th Be With You!

Hey all!

Apparently, today is the annual Star Wars day. You may or may not know, I'm an avid Star Wars fan (to the point I'm willing to spend on a pricey lightsaber under the brand Force FX).

Anyway, I just want to shout out to any of my readers who like Star Wars too.

May the 4th be with you!

The Avengers 2012 Quick Review

Hey readers!

First of all, if you're still subscribed, or you stumbled upon this blog some how, thanks for taking the time to read and in the case of people who come back, THANK YOU FOR NOT FORGETTING ME!

It's been AGES since I've actually posted anything here.. Which is quite sad, I don't know why it turned out the way it did :(

Anyways,

Quick review of the Avengers of those who still haven't watched it. It's a beastly 5/5!!! Do go and watch it! I'd love to see it in 3D as I saw lots of scenes which would seem to work well with the 3D effects.

If you like super hero movies, you'd LOVE this. It takes the essence and feeling of watching or reading superhero shows and comics and turns it into a 2 and a half hour of bliss!

While I do admit the beginning wasn't the strongest of starts, after the title, it just skyrockets. I absolutely love the humour in the movie. Wait. What? You thought I said it was a superhero movie and not a comedy? I DID say it was a superhero movie. But the humour in it comes at odd times and strangely fits perfectly. Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark a.k.a. Iron Man is simply brilliant; he brings out the arrogance of Tony Stark in making blunt remarks.

If you're sceptical about the movie because of all the hype it's been getting, then I suggest you go in with an open mind, don't expect it to be epic and you won't be disappointed, I assure you.

Highly recommended movie and a blockbuster for sure. It won't disappoint!

P.S. As with all Marvel movies, stay until after the credits for some delicious goodies. ;D

Happy National Day Brunei!!!

HAPPY NATIONAL DAY TO ALL BRUNEIANS! (Those who are following my not-even-half-assed blog anyway)

I really can't believe it's already been a year since I did that National day post back when I was in the UK.

As for updates, I haven't been up to much back home... Looking for work and might to look for something part time for the time being..

On a different topic, I adopted a doggie a few years back :D Right  before Chinese New Year at the end of January.

Man I really should update more eh? I guess I started the blog because I wanted to post randomities and yet I've not been doing it enough justice lol. Just lazing and letting the blog wilt away while most of my pageviews are not even from people visiting; just people looking at my Ninjago dragon pictures trololol.

Anyway, take care everyone! I'll update if there's anything worth saying aha.
