Facebook bought Instagram for in September for $715.3 million, $300 million of it in cash and the rest in stock. We should've known that something was up with Facebook buying this app for a lot of money. Now I guess that Facebook wants to sell photos without permission from the users that use this application. I can't even believe that they even suggested this idea. The users are worried that they would sell their photos for ads. Even though I am reading a new article from CBS that says on their article title "Instagram says users' photos won't appear in ads". I don't know a lot of big companies are very secretive and I never trust a big company especially if they publicize it out-loud. I feel bad for the users that started using the app before Facebook bought it. It must be very hard for them to see the terms changing like that. I really just think that they should just put ads on the app. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Feels great to be in my clean room.
Cleaning your room or your whole house or wherever you live in is important. When I cleaned my room, I removed a whole bunch of stuff that I didn't know that it was even there. It took me about 4 hours to clean my room and now it's very clean. The only thing that I have to fix is painting my room and getting the Rug-Doctor machine for our house. So our carpets look nice and clean again. The atmosphere is a lot better after cleaning my room, I feel like I can think more clearly after cleaning it. And it just feels good just having a very clean room. If you don't have a clean room, clean it if you can because you will feel a lot happier if you can clean it. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Done with one semester of Korean 101.
Taking this Korean course was very interesting because this is the first time that I got immersed into a foreign language. The Korean language course really opened my mind up because I know why people learn a second language. It opens your mind up and opens your world and brings it closer to you. Learning a second language for me is a very good opportunity because it is probably better to experience different countries rather than just one. That's what I think. Just living in one place is not enough for me. I think that people don't travel enough around the world. Not enough people go to Asia and study there. Asia is coming to use and we are not coming to them. There is really no balance for this to workout. We have to expand into different cultures before they make us invade their culture. That's why learning a language is important. Learning a language opens your mind, makes opportunities, and it is good for the world. There are not enough Americans in Asia.

You can never stop learning from Photography.
You always have something else to learn in Photography. And I would think that a lot of pro photographers would have the same opinion as me. If you don't think that you don't have anything new to learn about photography, you have never looked at photography seriously. If you did look at photography seriously, you would always think that you would have something to learn how to take photos in different formats. What I mean is that you should be always be trying something new with Photography. Like use a flash a different way or use different shutter speeds. Because all these little factors that seem small to us when we talk about it is very very big. All these aspects of photography shouldn't be left out. It's like trying to drink a hot coffee on a really hot day instead of adding ice. Adding ice to coffee is rather enticing and tasty in my opinion. Please just look at YouTube videos and take photos. If you learn something new or make very big mistakes at a convention like I did, just embrace your mistakes into perfection later on. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

I want to explore.
I want to explore. Not just stay in one place. What I mean by mean I don't wanna just stay in one place is that I want to try a whole bunch of things before I die. You can may have a time cap we don't know what that time cap is because every person dies at a different time. Except when you get ran over with someone at the same time or something. What I am saying is that we only have a certain amount of time to do things that we actually do things that you want. If you are not doing things that you don't want to do, stop everything and do something for yourself. Make something for yourself and even for other people. Make a product and be what you want right now. If you don't have any money like me right now, I have a couple of pointers that I want to give you. Did you hear of www.kickstarter.com? Raise money on this website to create and be part of your dream. I think it's free to sign up so do what you have to do to get the money. Find a investor or find a website that I just gave you. Make your dream, don't just keep it in.

Bartering before class.
I tried something new yesterday morning. Maybe because I drank coffee or it's just me. I talked to my fellow classmates before our Korean language class started. I was so weird today, I even bartered for some mechanical pencil lead. Well I wanted to trade a very nice (Pentel) pen ( made in Japan! ) for a new mechanical pencil because I highly value pencils over pens. It's really nice to have something that is not dark and unmessy and it pencils can erase stupid errors. Someone in class gave me 3 lead refills, and I just gave the pen to the woman I was trying to barter with. I could be a good salesmen though because I said while bartering ( This may be due to instructive memory ) " These pens to leave space gaps in the things you write in, they are very nice and they are made in Japan. For two I think it cost $2.50... This is my favorite type of pen. And you can even by refills online! Response: Oh really! (: Yep...." Then I got lead from someone that had led refills and I just let that woman that looked at me pen for bartering have the pen. It's kind of weird to take a small object away because a barter deal didn't come through. I got what I wanted anyway. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Also I even showed how to refill the pen if you buy refills!

Why you should disable Adblock Plus on certain websites.
People download Adblock Plus for blocking ads on YouTube and Facebook. But people like me really get used to this addon so much that we hardly notice it blocking other ads on other websites. If you are on a website that your really love and not many people go on the website, you should disable Adblock plus to see if they have okay enough ads that you can handle. A lot of times many people base their lives on their website they have created. Some are very well viewed and some have just started. A lot of people put ads on their website to get a little more money so they can still be in the condition they are still in. And you should also disable the Adblocker program also on sometimes on some very well viewed websites also so you let them earn a little money off you to support their service to you.
