I love watching stuff on youtube. Especially some of my subscriptions coz they’re really interesting. Hmm… my top 10 favourite youtubers are:

1) angelicbiscuit [a really really cute gay guy ^_^]
2) TheHill88 [very quirky and funny girl]
3) katiesopinion [woohoo!! girl power!! guys are penises ^_^]
4) morbeck [aka chipmunkchick.. a cross dresser who plays his roles very well]
5) LisaNova [very creative babe.. pretty too]
6) littleloca [another very creative girl... plays her roles very well]
7) cutiemish [cute asian girl in the UK.. she auditioned for the part of ChoChang in HP but didnt get the part]
8) thewinekone [crazy dude... very interestign to watch]
9) amy04 [i like watching her makeup tutorials]
10) bravesgirl5 [i think she's pretty and fun to watch]

So there… I love angelicbiscuit.. he’s sooo cute… too bad he’s gay… actually, scratch that… even if he wasnt gay I wouldnt have a chance in hell to get with him… oh well…

As there are good stuff, there are also the bad stuff…. like really.. some are just plain boring, and some are annoying…. and some just freaking nauseatingly disturbing.

Number 1 most awful youtuber that just gives me the creeps is the one and the only:
biostudentgirl
I don’t get how ppl keep saying how sexy and hot she is…. just watch her videos and you’ll get what i mean… she seems a bit fake…. and like… do real ppl actually talk like that?

Anyway, I have more videos of Smokey uploaded on youtube as well…ooo.. and i recently learned how to use the windows movie maker program… so some of them are more interesting…
Smokey’s Videos

And for those who havent watched this… watch it… sooo touching …

6 year old Heather Martin sings a song that her mother wrote for her Brother Shaun who is serving in Iraq. The song is written from Heather’s point of view.

Lyrics

You were almost sixteen when I came into the world.
Mom and Dad had you first then 3 more boys I’m the baby girl.
I sure have a lot to look up to in you, you’re really smart and funny with a big heart too.
After one year of college you knew what you had to do.
It’s just like you wanting to help with the war.
So you joined the army when I was only 4.
This time of year we talk of big plans but you’re over seas in some distant land.
You can’t be here for Christmas, I don’t understand.
Chorus:
When are you coming home, Shaun?
When are you coming home?!
We lit up the house like we always do but it doesn’t seem bright ’cause we can’t have you.
In my prayers I ask God to keep you safe.
And I’m trying to be really brave.
Tell me that the fighting’s through.
Come home!
I really miss you.

It’s hard to enjoy the holidays without you.
But we’re so proud of you and all the red white and blue.
Remember that Jesus is your best friend,
And someday our families will be together again.
Wow! You know we’ll have a great big party then.

Chorus

I want to show you how tall I’ve grown and introduce you to my new friends at school.
Maybe we could go and get some ice cream together but I really don’t care what we do.

Chorus

Create A Dreamy Effect For Your Pictures

posted by:

First, you want to open the picture that you wish to edit. Resize it to whatever size you want it to be. In this case, I have chosen a cute picture of my bf and my puppy, Smokey sleeping/falling asleep; resized it to 500×375px.

 

Next, create a duplicate layer of the picture by holding the ctrl key and the “j” key. You may rename it to whatever you want at this point but as you can see, I have left it as “Layer 1 copy”.

 

As per the picture above, change the settings to “overlay” from “normal”.

 

 

Your picture should now look like this.

 

Then, go to Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur.

 

Choose a radius of 4.0pixels. Your picture should start to look great already (as u can see in the background of the above picture).

 

Now, create a duplicate of the “Layer 1 copy”. When you do this, you will see that the “original picture” has now changed to “background” and the “layer 1 copy” has now changed to “layer 1″ and the latest duplicate will be called “layer 1 copy”. I hope this doesn’t confuse anyone. It’s pretty much common sense. This time change the settings of the latest duplicate to “screen”.

 

 

Oh no! The picture is now too bright.

 

No worries, fix this by changing the opacity to 50%.

 

 

Now your picture is perfect. You can stop here if you want.

 

 

For a more polished look, select the “background” layer, choose the blur tool and run it through your subject’s face.

 

For better precision, enlarge the picture and toggle the size of the brush.

 

This is how your final product should look like. Nice and dreamy looking right? You can stop here if you want.

 

However, I decided to go a step further and fade the edges of my picture for an even more dreamy effect. Choose the “brush” feature and choose a soft brush as you can see in the picture above.

 

I used white as the brush color but you can feel free to use any other color that you want. Run the brush carefully all along the corners of your picture. Your picture should then look liek this.

 

This is MY final product. I added the words “sweet dreams” and some hearts.

 That is the end of my tutorial. I hope you enjoyed that and have found it useful. Have fun photoshop-ing!!!
