My Top Five Favorite Books of All Time

As mentioned earlier, I am a total bookworm. I enjoy reading so much that my mom came to the point of hiding the books from me, saying that reading prevented  me from “doing daily life activities”. However, I continued my excessive passion towards books, projecting those images from my imagination. Here are the top five books:

  1. The House of the Scorpion by Nancy Farmer
  2. 100 Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
  3. The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett
  4. A Piece of Cake by Cupcake Brown
  5. The Lightening Thief by Rick Riordan

I enjoy reading Science Fiction or just fictional books. This is an awesome book that captured my attention when I was in middle school. I have read it five times and never get tired of reading it.

EXTRA CREDIT: Before & After Image

All is used on this image was the heal tool to covered her wrinkles. I was curious to see how this lady looked when she was younger.

For this image, the only tool I utilized was the clone tool. By pressing the COMMAND button on my keyboard, I selected the section of the grass that I wanted it to look like. With it selected, I clicked on the balls so that the grass that was selected by the COMMAND button on my keyboard can appear over it like a blanket. This creates an effect that makes the balls disappear.

For these pictures, I basically just used the heal tool to remove the blemishes. To add the lip stick, I used the free select tool to trace around her lips and then changed the foreground color to red. Once I did this I clicked on the bucket fill tool to implement the color. I changed the opacity to appear a little less bright. Since the color was sharp around the edges, I used the smudge tool to have the edges appear smoother. I did the same for her eyes.

My Favorite Food of All Time Is…

I enjoy eating just as much as I enjoy reading. I’m those type of individuals that find any type of food both interesting and delicious. What can I say? I’m not picky I guess.

However, The type of food that’s absolutely my favorite is guacamole. I don’t know, I guess it’s the mushy texture it has and the acidic lemon added to it that makes me drool. Perhaps it’s just it’s green color that attracts me. guacamole
