"Jesus Bracelets"

Okay, I don't actually know the real name of these things, but everyone calls them "Jesus Bracelets", so let's just go with that.
These bracelets, as per I know, were very in, the last few seasons and I still see them being worn, mainly by teenagers.

If you have no idea what I'm talking about, these photos may help.

I don't know where it all started but I got mine when I was around 6 or 7 years old. They weren't even being sold in the UK at the time, as per I know, but I got mine from India, from a shop next to a church I used to love visiting.

And I wore it 24 hours a day. It wasn't made to perfection, nor was the quality something to cheer about but I seemed to feel happiness through wearing it.

After I moved back to England in 2010, I still wore it when I could. Since rules in school say no jewellery, I once got told off for wearing my Jesus bracelet.

After I stopped wearing mine, I saw more and more people having them. From where and how the trend started, I have no clue, and that still remains a mystery.

Everyday I saw more and more teens wearing them, not because they were Christians or because they believed in God or Jesus, but because it looked cool. 

I suppose it annoyed me just a tiny bit that these people had no knowledge and respect of the people's pictures on the bracelet but there was no point letting this get to me.

The trend of wearing one, led to the trend of wearing five or six all on one wrist, and then this led to the trend  of wearing them with other bracelets, the sort made out of fabric.

It got like this: If you own and wear Jesus bracelets, with a snapback maybe or in a laidback style, with jogging bottoms, then you were cool.

Mine, however, will always stay close to my heart.

Whatsapp

Whatsapp came about in 2009, founded by Brian Acton and Jan Koum.
Most of you probably know what it is, but those of you who don't, Whatsapp is an instant messaging application for smartphones.
And I would say it is the best messaging app I have come across.
Simple yet so efficient; Whatsapp is one of the most reliable, popular messaging applications.

 So so many of my friends and family use it and this is so useful because most of them live all the way in India, whereas I am here in England. And with people like me, who now see Facebook just going downhill, who use Facebook only for the chat, who find Viber's chatting terrible on android, who need Skype to be simpler, Whatsapp seemed like the right one.

This application has it all to pass time by with ease i.e only if you have friends as interesting as I do, providing us with the opportunity to communicate through messages and/or share memorable times through photos, videos and audio clips.
And what I personally love about it is the ability to change the wallpaper :D
And if the SD card in my mobile did work, I would probably use all these features but once I get down to the bottom of why it is that it doesn't work, probably ending up with me being made to get a new phone, I shall return to using all features again and at the same time enjoying it.
I could say I use Whatsapp all day, that is, from the second I wake up to the second I go back to sleep and I have clearly stated the reasons for my adoration (and no, I am not a geek, if that's what you're thinking).
If you haven't already, you should highly consider downloading Whatsapp, and if you like it, go on to recommend it to your friends and family too.
Much love.
