gokunobaka:

While waiting at hospital for my driving license basic check, I was bored to death and decided to test my new stylus for Ipad on Sketch book pro.

I must say Im pleasantly suprised. Ipad wasn’t good device for drawing, but I might change my mind after I use Dagi a bit more XD

Untill now I used Bamboo stylus, and It didnt gave good results at all , was  overpriced and dissapointed me when It came to drawing (Its great for writing and applications though).
A few days ago I bought a relatively cheap (20 usd) DAGI p507 stylus, and I must admit, after today I am in love :D 
http://www.dagi-stylus.com/us/index.php?page=shop.product_details&category_id=1&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=45&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=208&vmcchk=1&Itemid=208

I highly reccomend It. Out of 4 Styluses I had a chance to test this one is the best. Thin pen like tip makes it accurate while You draw unlike majority of tips which are very wide and soft.  

Package got to me at the speed of light and also Dagi crew was so kind  and gave me free pen and some additional 0,7 tips and stuff omg ;U; <3 I’ll promote them to grave hahaha :’D

So Yup, If you like to draw on your Ipads or androids, go get Dagi too ;D~!

1. push yourself to get up before the rest of the world - start with 7am, then 6am, then 5:30am. go to the nearest hill with a big coat and a scarf and watch the sun rise.

2. push yourself to fall asleep earlier - start with 11pm, then 10pm, then 9pm. wake up in the morning feeling re-energized and comfortable.

3. erase processed food from your diet. start with no lollies, chips, biscuits, then erase pasta, rice, cereal, then bread. use the rule that if a child couldn’t identify what was in it, you don’t eat it.

4. get into the habit of cooking yourself a beautiful breakfast. fry tomatoes and mushrooms in real butter and garlic, fry an egg, slice up a fresh avocado and squirt way too much lemon on it. sit and eat it and do nothing else.

5. stretch. start by reaching for the sky as hard as you can, then trying to touch your toes. roll your head. stretch your fingers. stretch everything.

6. buy a 1L water bottle. start with pushing yourself to drink the whole thing in a day, then try drinking it twice.

7. buy a beautiful diary and a beautiful black pen. write down everything you do, including dinner dates, appointments, assignments, coffees, what you need to do that day. no detail is too small.

8. strip your bed of your sheets and empty your underwear draw into the washing machine. put a massive scoop of scented fabric softener in there and wash. make your bed in full.

9. organise your room. fold all your clothes (and bag what you don’t want), clean your mirror, your laptop, vacuum the floor. light a beautiful candle.

10. have a luxurious shower with your favourite music playing. wash your hair, scrub your body, brush your teeth. lather your whole body in moisturiser, get familiar with the part between your toes, your inner thighs, the back of your neck.

11. push yourself to go for a walk. take your headphones, go to the beach and walk. smile at strangers walking the other way and be surprised how many smile back. bring your dog and observe the dog’s behaviour. realise you can learn from your dog.

12. message old friends with personal jokes. reminisce. suggest a catch up soon, even if you don’t follow through. push yourself to follow through.

14. think long and hard about what interests you. crime? sex? boarding school? long-forgotten romance etiquette? find a book about it and read it. there is a book about literally everything.

15. become the person you would ideally fall in love with. let cars merge into your lane when driving. pay double for parking tickets and leave a second one in the machine. stick your tongue out at babies. compliment people on their cute clothes. challenge yourself to not ridicule anyone for a whole day. then two. then a week. walk with a straight posture. look people in the eye. ask people about their story. talk to acquaintances so they become friends.

16. lie in the sunshine. daydream about the life you would lead if failure wasn’t a thing. open your eyes. take small steps to make it happen for you. By

Mixed Tape = Piracy?

When I was a kid (And this will really show my age) it was common for someone to create a “mixed tape” for another person.

While I’m sure you’ve all heard about this, since they were mainly around before most of you (tumblrites) were born, it is probably still a bit of a foreign concept to you (much like the eight track is for me). 

A mixed tape was recorded on a cassette tape. Some tape decks were nifty and had two slots for a tape, so you could play one tape, and record whatever was being played onto another. It was simple. Not all stereos had this capability, though. If you only had one tape deck, you would set your stereo to radio, then record directly from the radio onto the cassette tape (you got used to listening to your favorite song with the DJ speaking over the first few seconds). 

I’m not saying I download music- because I am a musician and like to support the arts as much as possible, but the question can still be asked: What’s the difference between downloading a song, and making a mixed tape onto a cassette tape?
