My Facebook Movie

Ever thought of making a movie? Nope? Not even a slideshow of pictures accompanied by your favourite song.....? Well I suppose most of us would be too lazy to put our PowerPoint or amateur movie making skills to good use unless it was for a specific purpose.

If you fall into the above category, you might want to give the Facebook Timeline Movie Maker a try. This nifty app was created by Marketing Agency Definition 6 and Facebook. The app will scan your entire Facebook life and pull out random photos, videos and stuff posted to your profile to create a short history of your Facebook life.

Quick and Easy

Just log into your Facebook account and type "Timeline Movie Maker" in the search function. Oh and this app only works if the Timeline feature on your profile has been activated.

This page will appear, click the green button. The app will ask permission to access data from your profile. Your movie will be ready in a jiffy. However in order for your movie to be made, you will need to have at least 50 photos on your profile which have been shared with "friends".

Once your information and photos has been processed, the page will look like this. The app will not immediately post the video to your profile, you share it only if you want to.

The Cons.....

As cool as this app is, the bummer is that you can't download the video or post it anywhere else besides Facebook. Which is why all I can share with you is the above image and not the link to my video.

From what I read about this app, the user can remake the video by choosing the images they want, however I found that this was rather difficult to do. Also the app picks too many photos from one album instead of randomly selecting from different albums. As such I felt my video lacked variety in terms of the images chosen.

Well maybe a more refined version will be available in the future. Overall I'm sure all those who use it will agree that it's kinda fun to summarise your entire Facebook experience and share it with friends.

"Seksualiti" Will Survive

The other day my mum who was reading news alerts on her mobile asked me, "Hei have you heard about this festival - ' Seksualiti Merdeka '......?" And I was like: "Seksualiti what....??" Then I promptly googled it and oh then I knew! My first reaction? I was mighty impressed that we actually have such a festival here and wondered how come I never knew about it before this. I'm sure a lot of you out there are hearing about Seksualiti Merdeka for the first time too. But imagine this guys, if the powers that be didn't go all frothy at the mouth and decide to ban it, would the majority of us even know about this annual sexuality rights festival that has been around since 2008? Now not only city folks know all about Seksualiti Merdeka, even those in Baling......where is that again? Are up in arms about this event which they fear will encourage more gayness in society......well people will always delude themselves silly if they want to. So what...

Stylish After 50

There is no age limit to being stylish and fashionable. One's fashion sense does not melt away into the sunset after 50. Plus there's absolutely no rule that says a woman in her 60s or 70s who has grandchildren must stop wearing make-up, painting her nails and wearing lovely clothes. Way too often have I heard the common refrain: " So old already why must dress up, who is going to look at us?" or "Already a grandmother, why want to do all this some more...." Said in typical Malaysian lingo of course! First of all, I don't get the concept of dressing up for other people. When you look good, you feel good, it is as simple as that. It is not about the number of people who might stop by to lavish you with compliments. It is about making a statement about who you are - someone who believes in looking good by wearing clothes that compliment her. Forget the white streaks in your hair, those faint lines on your face. Clothes, shoes and accessories don...

Curly Haired Indian

Last Friday I walked into a shop at Amcorp Mall that sells hair products and accessories. As I entered, I heard a customer whining to the sales staff at the counter about her hair. Said customer was a middle-aged Indian woman with long freezy hair down her back. When she noticed me, she gave me a look and told the staff at the counter: " You see lar, we Indians all have this kind of hair only." I was quite amused that she was putting me in the same category as her, considering that I don't have a huge lump of friz bobbing down my back. If only someone had given this woman some sage advice about managing her thick mane, maybe she wouldn't be whining and hankering after silky-smooth stresses - which she naturally cannot have unless she resorts to rebonding and rebonding till death, by which time she might no longer have any hair left. If only someone had told her that maybe she should not have her hair that long! And that perhaps she should trim it a little...
