One day, the right side starting becoming loose and the sound had unbearable. Luckily, it was still under warranty and the company sent me a replacement. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>

I also used an app where you upload your picture and choose one of their short clips or gifs and be the character in a video. I can't remember what it's called now. </p><p>Recently, I saw these TikTok videos of people showing moving pictures of their grandparents or great grandparents, and I thought why not do it to mine. I don't have any videos of them. I only have pictures of my grandparents on my mother's side. I'll have to ask my father's side if they have pictures of my grandparents. </p><p>Using deepfake, which is the manipulation of image or video where you replace the person in the existing media with someone else, I was able to create videos of my grandmother and grandfather. My mother told me that she had goosebumps when she saw the videos as it was exactly how she remembered the way they had smile, especially her father. </p><p>Some people might get upset about it, or feel scared, but I think it is a great way to see and remember them. </p><p><br></p>

It is an open world game, similar to Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. It is available on PC, Android, iOS and PS4.<div><br /></div><div>I have been playing this game on my Android phone for about 2 weeks now, and I'm enjoying it. However, the screen on my mobile phone is so small, and I'd like to play it on a bigger screen. </div><div><br /></div><div>According to some players, it is a cross-platform game available on devices mentioned above. So, I searched for it on Xbox hoping to play it on bigger screen, and there were two search results. </div><div><br /></div><div>One of the returned results was a guide and the other one was an actual game. Without looking at the details, I immediately paid for and installed the game. It costs 4.99 EUR. After finishing the purchase, I realised that one of the TOCs was that I was not eligible for a refund after clicking OK. I did not think about it and started playing it. </div><div><br /></div><div>BOO!!! It was like April Fools Day and Halloween altogether. It was not the game that I played on my mobile. Worse, I noticed it was not from <a href="https://genshin.mihoyo.com/en" target="_blank">miHoYo</a>. It was a stupid memory game. I have been scammed, well, I have been stupid really. <span style="color: red;">Don't fall for the same trick.</span></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiq3qPOBm6JtDmYmugiobVcwp4MDdyf4BneVQRzwfMZbxZXMUUchjiMkdGqvO0dcqCYunFf0aQ3oYnJGRXqUnPlTisTAcERCDkWt1NPb6B26ADhiOvCK1PVICXiCp7CJIbF3b2QPpnzrs-/s1094/SCAMMED.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="726" data-original-width="1094" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiq3qPOBm6JtDmYmugiobVcwp4MDdyf4BneVQRzwfMZbxZXMUUchjiMkdGqvO0dcqCYunFf0aQ3oYnJGRXqUnPlTisTAcERCDkWt1NPb6B26ADhiOvCK1PVICXiCp7CJIbF3b2QPpnzrs-/w640-h424/SCAMMED.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div>Oh well, no Genshin Impact on bigger screen for now. </div>Pixelographichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15534727795344669928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404923505208636027.post-43335277478796760432020-11-14T19:07:00.002+01:002020-11-14T19:07:33.572+01:00Neverwinter - Random Queue as Devout ClericI streamed live for the first time.

I normally watch animes and when I get to the latest episode, I just continue the series reading manga. However, there is one manga, whose anime I have never ever seen, called 'The Promised Neverland', written by Kaiu Shirai and illustrated by Posuka Demizu. <span><a name='more'></a></span><div><br /></div><div>It was in early 2017 when I first came across it. I just finished reading another manga when I got bored and was looking for random ones to read. I was browsing and saw that The Promised Neverland had about 22 chapters already. I clicked it and read the first chapter. I was enjoying the story - characters being competitive, being loved by their carer and have a family to call their own even though they are orphans - until the twist in the story. I was shocked and excited and I don't know, I remember my hands shaking and just continued reading it. I couldn't stop reading it. The storyline was right up my alley. It is unputdownable. </div><div><br /></div><div>The plot is very unique and different from the ones I used to read. It's about Emma, Ray, Norman, and the other children in the orphanage, or so I thought at first, who were raised well, trained, educated and loved, only to end up becoming food for the citizens in the world they were in. They learned that they are on a farm and are only raised as/to be cattle. </div><div><br /></div><div>Although the manga is a bit brutal and violent and somewhat gory as it is in the dark fantasy, science fiction and thriller category, there are lessons to be picked up. This manga teaches you how to be resilient, persevere, work hard, trust yourself and your instincts, value friendship and family, and many more.
</div><div><br /></div><div>Fast forward to now, I can't believe the manga has reached its ending. It is bittersweet. I am emotional. It is 3a.m here and I cannot sleep. I think this is one of the best stories I have ever read. I don't think I have read anything like this. There is a live-action to be released sometime later this year. I hope it doesn't disappoint. </div><div><br /></div><div>I recommend this book/manga especially to those who like science fiction and dark fantasy, and even those who want to read something new and different. This is a really good read and will sate your cravings for a good story.</div><div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img alt="The Promised Neverland - Final Chapter" border="0" data-original-height="1168" data-original-width="800" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjisHEGTjJ58EwuhBzJVdLC31w0-7GRlzWCKA1GMtac5LmuzPdAvCTSfQwzsu7jwTHde1AmiNlFLyVAK9XZ6wgSksoMpt-aleLLVDmjABa3X4E3q32UtLryQUQ2WdokQeCk6ImrtgzLDRJo/w438-h640/000___1592127649.png" width="438" /></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div><br /></div>Pixelographichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15534727795344669928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404923505208636027.post-74380695251451547202020-06-10T13:47:00.004+02:002020-09-05T21:11:00.680+02:00CloudsI love watching clouds in the sky and I am always in awe looking at them moving, changing shapes, and disappearing.

It rained and luckily my camera was waterproof, I am using the phone's camera. I had about 5 minutes of the clip, then I sped it up 4x resulting in an 85-second video. Hope you enjoy it. <div><br /></div>

Earlier today, I was randomly checking and it was available. </div>

Looking forward to blogging again with new topics, and of course some photos.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
Kúla has started raising money for their Deeper and Bebe 3D attachments for DSLR's and smartphones. There are different pledges, which can earn you different rewards, from every 3D photographers best-friend, a snazzy pair of anaglyph glasses right up to the full set including the Bebe, Deeper, several adapters for your DSLRs, and more. There are a lot ways to view your pictures. </div>

I was overly excited and jumped in the deep end, pledging for the complete set. Then later went back to look at the details of the product, also checking out <a href="http://www.kula3d.com/" target="_blank">Kúla's own website</a>. I immediately retracted my pledge and messaged Íris with my concerns, and those of <a href="http://instagram.com/pixelographic" target="_blank">my Instagram</a> buddies.<br />

I asked if manual editing is possible, regarding the alignment and parameters. As we were concerned about the left and the right eye, as this may affect the resulting image.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Íris was quick enough to reply and clearly spell things out. </div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"...the alignment is done in the software automatically and in the future the plan is to make a more advanced version where more things can be adjusted by the user..."</blockquote>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
I decided it would be best to wait and buy the Deeper once it had been revamped, or a specific adapter for my camera was made. Reassured that the Kúla site would soon get its own store.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
That said my curiosity got the better of me and I have now contributed just enough to the project to get myself a Bebe. This won't be ready until March 2015, but my trigger finger is itching to shot and I'm already planning some shots and ideas on how to use my new toy. </div>

A lot of you guys must be looking for info about the resort.<br />
<div>

<div>
I have been a nudist for more than 7 years, though I enjoyed being nude alone the first few years. The feeling of being nude especially with nature is so liberating. <a href="http://knowmyday.blogspot.com.es/2011/09/ultimate-freedom-of-expression.html" target="_blank">I posted my thoughts about this.</a> I did nude swimming and hiking in the Philippines and Indonesia, but it was in Thailand that I first experienced being social with other nudists. </div>

There are lots of several nudist resorts in Thailand but the one closer to my place was Lumra Resort. </div>

Lumra is actually a clothing optional resort, it means nudity is optional. It is a very simple place but very nice and you can be nude as soon as you arrive at the resort until you leave. </div>

HOW TO GO</u>:</b></div>
<div>
From my experience, prior to going there, you need to contact the resort informing them of your intention to visit the resort, whether to go for a day, overnight or for several days. You need to inform them because they will arrange a taxi to pick you up when you arrive. It is quite a long walk to the resort. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The trip from Bangkok to the resort is about 5 hours, so if you want to get to the resort at around lunch, you need to be at the bus station (<b><u>Bangkok South Bus Station</u></b>) not later than 7:00am. Buses run every hour or two. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
From Bangkok, you go to <b><u>Bangkok South Bus Station</u></b>. You can show this picture or you can say, "<i><u>sai TAI mai</u></i>".<br />

Then you need to the second floor (Br.E.) / third floor (Am.E), to where the ticket booths are. Go to '<b><u>Booth 93</u></b>' and buy the ticket from there. You need to tell the sales staff that you want to go <b><u>'Wat Ang Thong</u></b>'. When you've got your ticket, you can go the platform and wait for your bus. As of November 2013, the trip would cost you 280ThB (6.25EUR / 8.56USD). You can only book one way ticket. For the return ticket, the staff at the resort are kind enough to get it for you.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You can also get to the resort by train but I don't recommend it.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The bus collector will tell you that you are arriving, and will tell you when to get off, so you don't need to worry. When you arrive at the bus stop (<u><b>Wat Ang Thong</b>)</u>, you need to call the resort so they can pick you up.</div>

We spent about 3 hours around the farm, almost an hour was spent on the snake show. The exhibits and the show are informative.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
The farm was set-up nearly 90 years ago to develop anti-venom, and still continue to do so while teaching the locals and tourists about the venomous and non-venomous snakes in the hope of educating people in how best to act when confronted with a snake. Furthermore, to help stop the unnecessary killings of endangered snakes.<br />
<br />
Entrance Fee: 200 Baht<br />
Show Times: Monday - Friday (9:30am - 3:30pm; 10:30am - venom extraction show; 2:00pm - snake show)<br />
<span style="color: white;">Show Times:</span> Weekends and Holidays (9:30am - 1:00pm; 11:00am - snake show; no venom extraction)<br />

<a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: 15px;">Bangkok is beautiful and very cultural. If you're staying in or planning to visit Bangkok, you should visit the temples, go to the bars and clubs later, you have those where you're from.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 15px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 15px;">You can visit the famous temples in a day, and the journey wouldn't be that fun and worthwhile without taking the ferry boat ride.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: 15px;">We didn't have lots of pictures here as we arrived late, the temple was closing. Will go there again next time and will post more pics and update this post.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 15px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 15px;"><b><u>UPDATE:</u></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 15px;">We went to Wat Traimit again, earlier this time and we made it.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: 15px;"> 140 Baht (Exhibit + Golden Buddha)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 15px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 15px;">We only went there to see the Golden Buddha as it was the most interesting.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 15px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 19.1875px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 19.1875px;">The statue is 3 metres (9.8 ft) tall and weights 5.5 </span>tonnes<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 19.1875px;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 19.1875px;">(5.4 </span>long tons<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 19.1875px;">; 6.1 </span>short tons<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 19.1875px;">). The statue was housed in a wat in Ayutthaya until mid 19th century, and its provenance from Ayutthaya excludes the possibility of it having been made after about 1750.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px;">At US$1,400 per troy ounce, the gold in the statue (18 karat) is estimated to be worth 250 million dollars.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.1875px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px;">An alternative version of the characteristics of the Golden Buddha is given as follows,</span></div>

<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px;">In the traditional sitting posture, it measures 3.10 meters across the lap from knee to knee, and 3.91 meters from base to top. A peculiarity of the statue is that it can be taken [apart] to 9 pieces. The purity of gold is 40% from the base up to the neck, 80% from the chin to the forehead, and 99% for the hair and the topknot, weighing 45 kg.</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.1875px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">The Buddha is represented in the traditional pose of </span><i style="font-size: 15px;">Bhumisparsha</i><span style="font-size: 15px;"> Mudra (touching the earth with the right hand to witness Shakyamuni Buddha's enlightenment at Bodh Gaya). The original statues of Sukhothai sit on a common pedestal form. The flame that crowns the </span><i style="font-size: 15px;">ushnisha</i><span style="font-size: 15px;"> is an innovation of Sukhothai that symbolises the splendour of spiritual energy. The line of the hairdressing forms a "V" shape in the root of the hairs, underlined by the elegant curve of the eyebrows that join above the aquiline nose, all according to the prescribed rules. The three wrinkles in the neck and the much elongated ear lobes, signs of his former status of prince, also form part of the code, as do the wide shoulders and the chest inflated. </span><span style="font-size: xx-small;">(ref: </span></span><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Buddha_(statue)" style="background-color: transparent;">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Buddha_(statue)</a>)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b style="text-decoration: underline;">Note:</b> The rules of entry and conduct are very strict hence a dress code is followed. <i style="text-decoration: underline;"> Short shorts and skirts and sleeveless are not allowed inside,</i> though there are some shops outside that sells loose cotton trousers (for souvenir) or you can rent them, which would cost you about 20 Baht for the rent and 100 Baht refundable deposit. You will be asked to take off your shoes before entering the temples, it is to show respect to the Buddha. When you sit, you must be careful not to point your feet to the deity, it must tucked in towards the back. This is very common to any sacred temples in Thailand.</span><br />

Well, who doesn't?
<br />
<br />
Art comes in different forms, and I love visual and performing arts. I saw a proper street art when I was in China. It was in <a href="http://www.pixelographic.com/2011/06/moganshan-shanghais-art-district.html">Moganshan, Shanghai</a>.<br />
<br />
In Bangkok, Thailand, they held the <a href="http://www.thelivingartsfest.com/">Living Arts Festival</a> from the 27th of February to the 10th of March. It was the first <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;">street painting and human living statues festival in Thailand where international artists gather to exhibit their talent in creating stunning 3D, 4D painting and to </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">create curiosity of the passerby </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;">with their costumes, body painting, and acts.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a>The festival was to help promote Thailand's tourism.
<br />
<a href="http://www.thelivingartsfest.com/"><img border="0" height="322" src="http://www.thelivingartsfest.com/images/thumbnails/images/map-3d-900x454.jpg" width="640" /></a>
<br />
<br />
There were 10 3D artists and 8 different Living Statues.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><i><strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">3D street painting</strong> is fun, interactive, producing ephemeral works of art that dazzle, inspire and amaze. With the right skills and tools, the artist can transform ordinary sidewalks into breathtaking portals to another dimension</i>.</span><br />
<br />
The artists were from U.S.A, Italy, Mexico, Ukraine, and the Netherlands and they used chalk and Gouache paints to transform pavements into a makeshift canvas. Crowds gathered and watched as fine works of art emerged. Although the “painting” lasted only until it rained, the street painting tradition has endured through the centuries, gaining even wider audiences over the last decade. A unique and captivating form of performance art.

<span style="font-family: inherit;">The term </span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><i><u>living statue</u></i></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> refers to a mime artist who poses like a statue or mannequin, usually with realistic statue-like makeup, sometimes for hours at a time.
Living statue performers can fool passersby and a number of hidden camera shows on television have used living statues to startle people. </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Living_statue"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: xx-small;">ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Living_statue</span></a><br />

He was the mayor of Leiden, an ancient city of Holland during ‘The Siege of Leiden’, when his city was surrounded by the Spanish invasion. When things got really ugly, he turned to the people and said: ‘I haven’t got food, but I know I have to die some day. If you are helped by my death, please rip my body in pieces and divide it amongst those who are in need. I will feel nothing but comfort’.</div>

<br />
I went to a Lumra Naturist Resort a few weeks ago, and it was so great. I met lots of nudists and naturists, of different walks of life and ages. I learned more things about nudism and naturism from them.<br />
<br />
The place is so good and peaceful, the staff were so friendly, good food, and the people around the place doesn't care about you being nude. I found a place where I can be comfortable with my body.<br />
<br />
Well, I won't be talking about nudism here and I you won't see any nude photos either. This post is about the fishermen I met during my stay.<br />
<br />
The pictures will tell you the story.<br />

We use them in our food. They are called hibi/hibe or simply dried shrimp.</div>

'I went to Bangkok on <i>Wenday</i> by <i>wan</i>. On the <i>wan</i>, I saw some <i>footbon</i> and <i>wolleybon</i> players. They were <i>wery</i> tall. I think the <i>awerage</i> height was <i>sik</i> feet. Somebody told me that they were <i>wery</i> good players. I also think they wear <i>ek-ek</i>-el size shirts.'<br />
This is what you hear from an average Thai who [tries to] speak English. They don't have /<i>x</i>/, /<i>v</i>/ and ending /<i>l</i>/. There might be more but these are the most obvious. They can't pronounce them, not even enunciate. As teachers, we want them to pronounce and enunciate the words clearly.<br />
I was doing phonics with my 2nd graders today focusing on /<i>ax</i>/. Somehow they got the four examples I gave; <b>ax</b>, <b>wax</b>, <b>tax</b> and <b>max</b>. Now, I moved on to /<i>ox</i>/ and I gave the word <b>ox</b> and <b>box</b>, and asked each one of the 30 kids to say the word loud and clear. Everybody shouted, '<i>ock, ock, ock, buck, buck, buck</i>'! They still needed more practice so I corrected them. Then something unforgettable happened, I was in the middle of teaching and was really into it when I gave the word <b>fox</b>. Everybody started shouting the word and I turned red, asked them to stop, erased the word and used ox and box again. <u>Guessed what they said</u>?<br />
They really made my day. The teachers were amazed at how the students were able to read, but I was scared somebody might have misheard it and think that I'm teaching them inappropriate things.<br />
Ah well, lesson learned.<br />
