march monday morning

it's the last day of march.. soon enough it will be mid year and i get to go on holidays =) hopefully. well it's actually just wishful thinking but i really am expecting one. everyone needs to get away once in awhile to refresh themselves.. and i think it will do us good. one place will be good for mid year holiday. the only place that will be in winter during that time of the year.. but i highly doubt that we'll be going there. just seems like it's too good to be true and quite far fetched.

so i'm still waiting on whether or not i'll be in for the spring semester. the whole transfer thing is getting really annoying.

here's something i was working on a few weeks ago. it was quite fun to make and it got easier as i kept making them, probably because i got used to it.. plus it was actually quite simple. might be making more of them when i have the time. but i need to get more supplies..

happy monday =) xoxo

three is not a party

so i went to watch "flood" yesterday.. i only just realised that it was an old movie from last year but they are just showing it now which is quite slow. it is a scary thought to think about what you will do if anything like that happens. one thing for sure that i have learnt from watching these kinds of movies [ie: cloverfield, flood, etc] is that you should always stay on ground if there's an earthquake or monster and you should always stay at the highest places when it's flooding. it's obvious really but i guess when you're in such a panic situation, you pretty much lose it all.

anyways, i still can't believe that they are going to stop producing polaroid films. how could they?!! first gocco and now polaroids? it's really sad. there are even photo labs that don't develop real films anymore.. they only develop digital ones!! tragic.. i must get more polaroid films before they really dissapear for good.

changing to a completely different subject, i think that sexy does not mean you have to flash around your cleavage everywhere for everyone to see. that is just plain trashy. you can still cover up yourself and be sexy.. instead of skanky. i have a problem with this issue because i think that it's really degrading to see girls prancing around with their everything everywhere. didn't your mom teach you anything?!

urban love

i cannot stress how much i love urban. i think it was nearly every day that i actually went to the store when i was in ny.. the place just makes me happy even though it was a little bit messy most of the time but i loved it anyways. i always took my time to see everything making sure that i wouldn't miss something out.. nothing can beat it.. it's like a heaven where everything you like and everything you need is all in one place. what more could you ask for?

so i was browsing through the site and they have new arrivals and i was just in complete utter shock as how i would if i was walking around in the store. i would be smiling to myself looking at all these things.... actually i am smiling now =)

i probably wouldn't ever use this but it's soo cute!!

one word: LOVE.. i so desperately want one now.

also as nice, wouldn't mind both =)

i first knew about these online and now they are printed which is equally awesome.

the flash is oh so retro.. i love it. i am seriously considering to buy this one so that i can use the flash on my pinhole as well, i think it would work..

when i have my own house, i'll get these..

and these to match =)

oh i have been painting these days, haven't had time to scan them in yet but i will soon!! trying to master the art of watercolor but i don't think i'm anywhere close. however, it does relaxes me in a way so i guess i'll just have to keep on doing it until i get it right. then again, what is right?!

finally

the first time i saw this book it was in new york and i know that it has been going around the blog world with awesome reviews but for some reason.. when i saw it, i just didn't think i would like it and therefore didn't buy it.. as always, i regretted my decision when i came back. but guess what?! i saw it today in the book store and didn't even think twice. just picked it up and went to the cashier right away =) i know what i'll be doing for my one week break.

so far, it has given me so much inspiration.. it's so random and yet it connects nicely from one page to another. it's not necessarily my kind of illustration but it's always good to have different inspirations and this is one of them. love the typography, oh so effortless. i really hope one day i can publish such books. one of my goals in life.

also bought paulo coelho's new book "brida" for my third sister, would want to read it after she's done. i think it's going to be good.

burnt

i was putting a piece of krispy kreme doughnut into the microwave to warm it up for a little bit and i really didn't think that the plate was going to be hot or anything but i guess it was just my luck. i now have two burnt fingers on my right hand....

feeling kinda numb right now. everything just seem to be the way it is and i don't know what is wrong but i just feel that something is wrong. that doesn't even make sense and i don't even know how to fix it.

my highschool's motto.. "luceat lux vestra"

final frustration

i have been trying to do my final's thumbnails and sketches but i just can't seem to do them. it's like a total mental block.. i think i will lay it off for now and start doing them again later at night. i always tend to function better at night anyways. so i guess it's nap time for me..

dreamt about something super weird last night but it felt like as if it was so real.

home sweet home

made sushi/kimbab for brunch.. was too hungry to wait for the parents to bring food home. still have some leftover, will probably eat it again later in the day. one thing i still have to figure out is how make the fillings to be in the middle so that it would look nice..

long weekend is love.

t for tuesday

it's 4pm but i have a feeling that the day is not going to end so fast.

getting sleepy now. it's weird how i get so sleepy at this time of the day and when it's time for normal people to go to bed, i'm fully alert..? i've been trying to sleep at 9:30 every night but that just doesn't seem to be working, there's always something that i get caught up doing and i'd end up going to bed at like 10 or 11. it's frustrating!!

one thing i realize.. i tend to create something when i'm upset or depressed. i think it's a way for me to let it out in a way. it's good i guess....?! but it's abit of a worry too. what if i can't create anything when i'm stable or just normal. it seems like it has to be either extreme.

that pretty much sums up the whole of today.

hanging in there

so i woke up on the right side of the bed today but definately sat on the wrong side of the breakfast table. i really think that it's important to have a positive vibe in the morning because that's how you're gonna be for the rest of the day. if you have a bad start, you'll eventually have a bad end. but i'm not gonna think about it too much right now..

happy thoughts

can't wait

here i am typing away when really i should be doing my homework.

i changed my layout..!! it was getting a little dull and boring with just plain white background. haven't got around to the banner just yet but i'll get that done as soon as possible.

anyways, there's a long weekend coming up and it's starting on thursday onwards =) that's what i'm looking forward to. it pretty much means that there will only be two more working days this week!! i wish i can go away during that period of time but i highly doubt thats going to happen.

for now, i'm just going to dream away..

my good old ipod nano..
not using it anymore cause the space just wasn't enough for my music.

the pinhole

haven't had krispy kreme for the longest time..!!
wouldn't mind munching on some right now.

bad connection

i think i'm having problems with the internet. sometimes the websites load, sometimes it doesn't.. i'm not sure why either. i hate it when these kind of things happens. makes me feel really lazy to do any work. plus it kinda shows that maybe i'm not supposed to be doing my work.. or maybe that's just me who thinks it that way.

my laptop is hungry

look what i found while browsing around the internet. a smart and cute idea. if i ever see it somewhere in a store, i'm gonna buy one for myself and for anyone else who i think would appreciate it.. can you imagine having one like stuck onto your laptop?? would be so cute. i probably wouldn't even remove it since it'll be an accessory kind of thing. i wonder how big the capacity is though? can't be that much when it's that tiny.. but then who cares?? it's just too cute to resist. i think i can say that this has made my day.

i don't give a sh..

right now in bullet points:
* drinking coffee
* drawing with pencil, ruler and new rubber
* listening to new favourite songs
* browsing the net
* not letting anything bug me

bought a whole set of watercolors the other day.. haven't used it since.

two hearts beating together

downloaded a whole bunch of new songs and i can officially have a playlist for march now. still need to transfer it to the ipod though, but the problem is.. i do not know where my usb cable is..? and i don't necessarily want to buy a new one cause i'm pretty sure its somewhere around.

once you've let go, you'd be surprised what comes your way..

can't do no wrong

it is insane how creative a fashion show can be. i'm talking chanel in particular.. i was so amazed by their show with the spiral staircase and then the huge classic chanel jacket that was just humongous!! and now this....

insanely smart and creative.. i'm such a sucker for carousels, pearls, camellias, bows and metallic. i wonder what they do to it after the show. i really would not mind keeping it =P would be interesting if they make a museum of all their props from these shows. i would definately come and visit for more than 10 times.. who wouldn't?

the rest of them

been doing my homework today.. and the day is passing by pretty fast. suprisingly, i am not even sleepy considering the fact that i didn't finish my usual cup of coffee in the morning..

so those pictures are pretty freaky looking.. i kind of like them that way. had to fix it a little bit in photoshop cause or else it would have been too dark and too blurry. i think i'm going to buy more film and explore some more.

still in search of polaroid 600 films but i haven't really seen any so i'm still hesitant to use my one and only pack left that i bought from new york. will eventually use it when i know that i can get some more films here i guess..

the blue eyed girl

went to watch 10.000 bc over the weekend and i have to post the visuals here because it was just really really beautiful. as for the story, it was interesting and keeps your on the very edge of your seats. i don't want to give away too much but i think the cast really helped the movie alot, if it were different people playing the roles.. i'm not too sure it would be as good.













"the blue eyed girl" aka camilla belle. she was really stunning in the movie.. just found out from a magazine article that she is only 21 years old. i have a feeling she's going to be one of my favourite actress =)

sunday shopping spree

one of the results of my first holga pinhole camera. the photo lab wouldn't print any from the negatives so i just used my scanner to scan the negatives and got the results myself which was quite an interesting experience. not sure if i'll be using much of it now though.. maybe when i'm travelling.

so.. it's about time i get some new clothes. i think i may have been wearing the same exact clothes for the past month or so, it got to a point that i was just seriously bored of my wardrobe and pretty much gave up on dressing up myself every morning. anyways, all that is gone now cause i got myself some pants and shirts today =)

here's a thought..

still waiting around..

i was supposed to go for lunch and catch a movie right now but it turns out i'm just waiting around and kinda wasting my time when i could be doing something more productive..

typing this on my phone and it's the first time that i've tried.. don't mind it really but too bad i don't know how to attach photos.

i just developed my films from the holga pinhole and the lomo action sampler, they are already scanned so i'll put them up once i get on my computer again.

doesn't it suck when your _______ doesn't _______ when you want it to? you think it's going to but it's not. hmm.. illusion of the mind that you pretty much create for yourself. pretty psychotic.

i haven't had time to write on my notebook these days. i keep having other stuff to do and just pretty much forgotten about the good old notebook. i think maybe part of it, is that i don't really have anything to write about in there.. it's getting empty, just like my life right now.

hi....

what the?

okay honestly, i have never come across any problems during my online studies so far.. but today.... it's different. truth be told, i really don't think i am at fault.... we were always encouraged to give contructive criticism in order "to work toward the goal of positive progress" but i guess some people really can't appreciate such stuff.

finally figured it out

oh my gosh.. it took me so long to do this. i guess it would help if i did my readings for this week first and then do it. stupid me, i did it the opposite way and kinda figured it out all by myself. but this was hard stuff.. i am pretty impressed though. even if i did it so simple.. probably way too simple.

oh so behind

i am in a panic situation right now because one, i am so behind my work and i don't even know how i got so behind with all the homeworks. i must say that i think it's the whole time adjustment thing.. it's weird how the week starts on thursdays now instead of mondays?! and two, i may be withdrawed cause i forgot to pay the school bills. iyeah, crappy situation. i should really get my act together. it's not funny anymore, i'm always handing my work in late..

good morning monday

can't believe it's march already.

i think i say that same exact line for every new month..

anyways, i can't wait to develop my first film of holga pinhole!! i finally finished up the film today and i'm really anxious on how it's gonna turn out to be =) wouldn't be suprised if there are a few black or blurry ones [remembering my sister's first holga film in new york]. i'd be happy enough if a few of them actually turns out right. then again, you never really can expect anything from holga.. excited!!

midnight blogging

i'm not too sure why i am even up at this hour.. but then again, it is saturday and tomorrow i get to sleep in until whatever time i want to so i guess this little post will not be any harm.

we were supposed to go singapore again on monday but i decided not to since i don't really need a getaway as of now and i wouldn't even know what i want to do when i get there so i might as well just stay put and do my work. hopefully we'll go somewhere else during the mid year holidays cause singapore gets pretty boring and dull after a while..
