PhontoThere are lots of apps in the store for adding some text, icons, emotions, or symbols to your photo. I used the most popular apps and founded the Phonto is the best to use. What I liked from this is the options and items added are unique features.

I probably would recommend to use Phonto for any texting on photos that you would like to share on Instagram.

StarbucksMarinaMallMarina Mall Starbucks was under construction for renovation.  Last night, we were invited to visit Starbucks Marina Mall branch for grand opening. The branch has renovated completely with a wide bigger area. It changed to a classic and modern style with a reception and coffee bar in the centre and open area. It looks like the same new Starbucks branches as Grand Avenues.

Furthermore, the decoration changed also to Arabian Kuwaiti style theme which you can see in the images below.

StarbucksJazzNightAlthough the grand opening night began with a musical jazz night by group of couples. I just would like to raise my hand up and say I loved the atmosphere and decoration of this branch and rate it as 09/10.

BBMRecently Blackberry RIM announced to expand more on Blackberry Messenger (BBM) not only targeting the Blackberry users by all the world. Blackberry made life easier for people to connect with your entire mobile social network.

This summer BBM will be available on the AppStore (For Apple iOS users) and PlayStore (For Android OS users). The first expected version got a new features and exposure on BBM App such as:

  • The immediacy of BBM chats
  • Multi-person chats
  • Voice note sharing
  • BlackBerry Groups, where BBM users are able to set up groups of up to 30 people and share calendar, photos, files and more

From my point of view it is a new clever idea from Blackberry to merge all the smart-phones by connecting together. Would people stay using What’s App, Viber or either iMessage.
