I’ve been really enjoying the music apps lately. My time is usually spent at work or doing my studies, so being able to brighten the atmosphere a bit by listening to my favourite songs is always great. It make everything not so much of a grind. Plus, music helps keep me occupied when I’m on the train.

Ah, messaging apps always pique my interest. See, I’m usually pretty busy with study, so it’s hard to make time to uh, catch up with friends or visit family. That’s where apps like WeChat come in handy; I can just pull that up and then message people when I have the time.

Hmm, good question. Well, when I first got a phone I went and downloaded Baidu. The internet is honestly amazing. So much of what you want to know is right at your fingertips. I’ve always been curious by nature, so I felt right at home using Baidu. Though I quickly learned that not all sites are reliable or trustworthy.
