How to Create an MP3 song as IPhone ringtone

My sister's colleague - AK - A trainer made this to teach my sis how to easily create an MP3 song into an IPhone ringtone.

Check it out, you may want to try it too.

How to Create an MP3 song as IPhone ringtone:

Prior to creating a ringtone, make sure this is the view settings on your laptop/PC:

1. CONTROL PANEL > APPEARANCE > FOLDER OPTION > VIEW tab > uncheck the box for HIDE EXTENSIONS FOR KNOWN FILE TYPES > APPLY OK.

How to Guide:

1. 
   

1. 1. Open Itunes. Choose a song on the library > right click, choose GET INFO > go to OPTIONS tab, choose the interval in the song that you’d want as ringtone (30 secs is the max duration) > click on OK. This will not alter the song in your itunes, it just limits the playback to that set time frame. You can revert it to its original length after this process.

2. Right click on the song, click on CREATE AAC VERSION. This creates another version of the song that will appear immediately on your itunes. How do you determine which one’s the AAC version? To go GET INFO, at the bottom of the SUMMARY tab, you can see its location and the file extension. It should be .m4a

3. On the song’s AAC version, right click and choose SHOW IN WINDOWS EXPLORER. Your windows folder will appear showing the location of the song. Right click on the AAC version and change the file extension to .m4r by renaming it (remember the original extension of an AAC version is .m4a).

From this:

To this:

4. Once done, drag the .m4r file back to your itunes library. It will now be in your TONES folder. From here, drag it to your attached device to SYNC it.

5. You’re done! Check your phone’s sound settings, ringtone should be there.

6. Delete the AAC version in your itunes library. You don’t need this anymore. Then change the duration of the song to its original length.

A House With A Pool

When I was a kid, my dream house included a pool. Imagine waking up everyday knowing you can just take a dip anytime you want?

However, the older I became the more in tune I got with reality. Owning a pool is a huge responsibility and the maintenance cost is no joke. The positive thing is that nowadays there are a handful of online stores which offers competitive prices for the pool supplies such as hayward pool pump motors, chemicals, heaters, filters, tiles and even lights. Getting a hold of these supplies is not a problem because they would surely deliver and install them for you.

I guess, if I were to win the lottery, I'd put a pool in my dreamhouse. I'll make sure to put quality equipment and accessories to keep my pool clean and to minimize cost as well.

Model Car Kit

My son#2 is showing some interest in cars as opposed to son#1 who is more into animals/dinosaurs. He would spend hours playing with model cars, his fave? A yellow volkswagen and a red ferrari. When I go out for a quick errand, he would insist on coming. He would just stare out the window and observe the many different cars in the City.

Since I am on the internet all the time, I saw these revell model kits and the 1966 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 caught my eye.

I wonder if he would enjoy a model kit as a gift? He's still 2, so maybe I have to wait for a few more years before he appreciates this gift, right?

Crack Nail Polish

What is wrong with the weather!?

It's too hot during the day then when night time comes it rains so hard. It gets so confusing not to mention, the kids are getting sick from the change of temperature.

Because of the weather disaster - I am inspired by wearing cracked nail polish. It looks like an earth shattering quake in the middle of your nails.

My base is in metallic blue with black Faceit cracked nail polish. It is actually very funky and unnique. At first, I didn't care for it, but the longer I got to staring at it, the more I loved it. My sister was the one who introduced me to it. She's so into Korean fashion and apparently it is a big thing there right now. Well, actually nail art is big nowadays. Girls don't settle for simplicity when it comes to our nails. Gone are the nudes, white satin, french tips and plain red. It's all about making a statement.

Did you know - when the US economy suffered a slump the nail polish industry actually soared? Girls who are in a tight budget starting doing their own nails and starting experimenting with it! Cool. I was supposed to take a pic but I don't have pretty hands so just google it and you'll see the effects of cracked nail polish. It is a must try.

Brrrrr Weather.

Hubby is heading to Oslo to renew si passport in the Philippine Embassy there and I can't help but feel jealous. I mean, I would love to travel and experience other culture.

He was hoping to roam around the City while he's there but the weather is making it impossible. He is heading there tomorrow and as of now, it is -4 C and snowing! Snow is only good when your inside the house with a big warm cup of coco. OR when you are in the cabin with a big fire and in the company of love one's and friends. I remember his story about the time when my husband and his friends rented a cabin. They had so much fun skiing and snowboarding however, their little vacation turned sour when his friend got into a minor accident. He was not wearing proper goggles so snow went to his eyes, he had trouble seeing where he was heading. He crashed but at least there was no broken bones, only a sprain, few big bruises and bruised ego. That is why wearing the correct gear and protective eyewear (e.g googles, snowmobile goggles) is strictly needed.

When I get the chance to visit him in Europe I really wish I'd experience snow. Aside from the "fun" factory I can finally have a reason to dress up in chic jackets and scarves plus I can wear knee high boots!!!

Karma Lee

I can almost unlck Karma Lee. WooHoo.

#TempleRun has been running my life since I got hooked on it 3 days ago. Now I can last an hour without taking a break from whatever I am doing to possibly collect more coins.

Right now, I am a few thousand short of coins to finally unlock Karma Lee. She's described as "the fastest legs in the Far East". I am sure, after I reach my goal I will get bored with this game. I am usually like that - after getting 3 stars in Angry Birds I stopped obsessing about the game.

Oh well, this is a welcome distraction from work. After all, all work and no play makes the brain dull. Choz

Business Ideas

I recently saw an old college buddy and got to talking about the updates of our lives, I learned that he is the one hadling their business already! They have this big bus line that is fairly popular in Cebu. I asked him what thei usual problems are with regards to that kind of business and he said, their usual problem is their drivers. Some of the one's who apply for the job - while they can drive - they lack the road skills needed to be a good driver. Some are reckless, others fall alseep on the job which causes accidents! Right now, since they use trucking gps they can monitor their drivers 24/7 which makes it easier for them. All in all though, it is a good business to get into, he says. That made me think since I am figuring out what we want for our future. Are we going to Norway? Or are we going to save up and start our own business here in Cebu?

Decisions. Decision. Hurts my head.

False Lashes

So, what do you think?

I was trying out false eyelashes - just got curious because a lot of girls are wearing it now. Unlike years before when falsies were used only when you are entering a beauty pageant or having a pictorial. Now, you see girls wearing falsies all the time!

I personally love 'em. I need to practive some more on putting them on though. I got glue all over my lid, I don't know if it shows in the picture. I hope not!

Backing Up

I am swamped with work - its no joke.

Actually, it doesn't help that I am always getting undertime (what a way to start the year, tsk!) but whenever Hubby is here, we make it a point to spend as much time as we can with each other. Plus, there are countless of errands to attend to - for example, we are very much keen on purchasing a lot in the City so we have asked a lot of realtors about prime spots for sale. We are eyeing this one pocket development in Banawa and I am praying the sale withh push through.

Anyway, back to work, as you know, it's the start of the year so it's a clean slate. I can only operate well knowing I have done my job and backed-up my files!!! The last time my PC crashed on me, I haven't backed-up properly leaving me crippled (work-wise). I had to do a lot of backtracking which takes time (which I don't have) and patience (sadly, I don't have this either). So, I have learned by lesson and backed-up. That's what I did first workday of the year 2012. Plus, good thing we are just a small company and we don't need a bulk cd duplication device. I just need to save it in the hard disk and make 2 copies in the CD for storage and that's it. No worries for me until I need to save it all again in 3 months.

Home Service

The beauty of working at home?

I can call my mani/pedi "suki" anytime and she'll come and do home service. How awesome is that? I don't have to get dressed and go out for a service that is inexpensive and fast. Plus, I can just go down, then come up again to work.

You see, I have a wedding to attend tomorrow. My gradeschool bff is getting married and it would be like one big happy reunion for us Theresians. I am sure it would be a fashion show - girls dressed to the nine's. I will be posting pictures for sure. I just love the dress I bought from People are People.
