Packages arouses me

Image
Nothing beats receiving packages directly at home, either expected or unexpected. One of the simple joys I enjoy in life, are surprises and having a package delivered into your doorstep is one way of surprising because you could never expect the exact time a package arrives even if you're the one who ordered it.  The pack of films arrived this afternoon and it puts me in great glee. Not that I am way to excited to use it (well, maybe a part of that too), but the fact that a package arrived arouses me. It also made me happy that the package arrived safely and, not to mention, fast! I had to comment  Ms. Kara  for the smooth and fast transaction!  So if you guys need anything from analogue cameras to film, she absolutely have those. Try texting her and she'll reply fast, and she's actually very patient (read past blog post). A thumbs up! Having this transaction made me want to order more! 

Film Catastrophe

Earlier: Since I sent my payment to Ms. Kara Hizon for the films already, my excitement for the films got out of hand. When I got home I saw a plastic of 2GO, a courier service. I was still seeing the plastic and said to myself, "Sh*t! Is this it? The films are here? Why is it so early?". I moved closer almost seeing what's inside, and I see something white and I thought, "Ahh maybe she did not send the boxes, only the film canisters." Then when I totally opened the package I saw..... EGGS. HAHAHA

Foodtrip Wednesday

Image
Food for the gods. Yum! Must finish the film! So excited to see my shots! How could anyone be so negative, when being positive is a whole lot better?  My family and I had lunch at Pepper Lunch today. Just a simple celebration for my Mom's birthday last Monday! But this celebration was all sponsored by Standard Chartered , just because. It was a simple dine out, but it filled my heart with joy. Having good food plus a complete family can certainly boost my system. After eating, we also had another free-- an ice cream from Golden Spoon. It wasn't as good as my favorite yogurt ice cream, but being free has its limits, right? Not ending our food trip yet, my mom and I bought Food for the gods at Mary Grace. We never would have known what this shop would offer it weren't for someone. I was surprised when my mom still remembered things from the past. But it does not bother me, because the past is certainly.. would forever be a part of me. On a side n

Justice to the Legit

Image
I have a new layout! Since I do not have the time and skills to do one, I intent to use blogskins.com as my provider for layouts, and it never fails to be useful. I got tired of my old layout- it makes me dull and uninspired. Though the colors of my new layout does not produce enough justice for inspiration, the solemness and calmness inspires me to be calm and take one task/ post, one step at a time. How legit could I be? I have been using legit for the past few hours and I am beginning to absorb that word in my vocabulary. Sooner or later, I'll be the legit boss! lol LEGIT. LEGIT. LEGIT. LEGIT.

Challenge for the Week: Less texts, More calls

Image
After reading an article on  http://crushable.com/relationships/textual-healing-could-giving-up-daily-texts-lead-to-something-better/ , I decided to do this challenge. Not only will it lessen my time pressing the keypads of my phone, but it will also give credit to the purpose of actually having a cellphone. I decide to do this for a week, because it cannot be a possible thing to do it for a month. It is either my dad's going to kill me, or I won't be able to reply to anyone who texts me. If this works, I will probably do this every week, with a different challenge, of course.

I get so weak with words.

Image
I have been fascinated with writing English lately. Long before, I have been so drunk with my English grammar that, I had to hate English and writing. I had English as my hatest subject beforehand. Why, you may ask? Because I cannot figure out grammar. I suck at grammar. Grammar and English makes me weak. I have always envied people who has this huge dictionary of words in their vocabulary, with correct grammar at most. Grammar and English just mattered to me when people and my school started giving me results of my bad English. I know I suck, I'd rather have Math than have English! Eckkk! But since English was a means of communication and, some would say, a means of success, I had to start improving my weakness. I even remembered buying during my high school, extra English books to improve my grammar. I just had that certain urge where I would want to improve on what I lack. So I started saying to myself, start typing full, text full, blog and tweet in English (even if I know,

Goodreads: Ligo na u, Lapit na me

Image
Ligo na u, Lapit na me by Eros S. Atalia My rating: 3 of 5 stars The story was concentrated in Intoy's life as a college student and the aftermath. Jen was just a chapter of his life, ending quickly after he heard about an un-desiring news about her. Through out the long gone without her, Intoy kept searching and waiting.. not really knowing what he is searching and waiting for.. A lot of questions has been running through his mind, unspoken and, yet, unanswered. A long winding thought that seeks answers. Closure.. he's longing for closure, and yet he still questions.. A long train of questions.. ..to be continued. View all my reviews

Cheap does not always mean ugly. I think.

I finally have my first ever film camera! All thanks to my friend, Clarrisse! This camera wasn't my original thought in mind, but being a newbie to this film photography industry, it made me think that buying a very cheap camera from CD-R King will help me enhance my hidden skills. That is, before exposing myself to a different leveled film camera. As of now, 16:17 July 20, 2011, I already used 20 shots from my precious camera. Not long before gone, I'll be able to finish the 36! Excited and, at the same time, scared of the results! I've seen a lot of reviews and shots from this camera, and they were pretty. I hope mine does justice too. I did a little personalization this morning to help me be motivated more on taking good shots, and this happened to my camera. It helps to inspire myself too. /obviousreason I have been thinking of a name for this camera since last night, but I haven't agreed on one. Ahhhh! /mustthinkfast Update (September 17, 2011

I'm a poupee girl!

Image
Out of some reason, I joined this site named Poupee and it had me wondering why I am in here. Then I realized, I've been resembling my youth. I used to enjoy dress up online knowing I have been doing this since I have joined elouai.com. Don't know if the site's working though.  Being a newbie at the site, I have limited clothing sources thus the simple shot of my avatar. My everyday school clothes!

What I am after? Achieved!

These days are the most wonderful days of my life. Well, as I have noticed a lot of people are making me happy. I guess I had this conclusion in mind because I know that I have been happy without them, as well. It feels so good to wake up in the morning with no burden in my chest. Like everything could be handled with just a smile in my face. I know I still have a bit of a grudge towards some people, but eventually, when  my mind passed on with that thinking, it ends up not thinking of it at all-- resulting to happiness. I believe in the saying, "Once you give love, you'll get love.", because I've been feeling quite loved because I exert an effort to show love and care with other people. It's such a wonderful feeling, and I have been wondering, why the hell did I show this now? I should have been more loving and caring before, but I guess time and experience of life, put me, just now, for a reason. I'm constantly ranting about whatever it is in my mind r

The Tape Measure

Image
This basically occupied my whole Saturday last weekend. I just recently joined Optic View, the photography organization of DLS-CSB, and they had a Basic Photography Workshop. I was faced with people sharing the same interest and that is photography! I learned to be a human again, interacting with different people and surrounding myself with unknown grounds. What's weird about this was that, I actually enjoyed being with different people. The duration of the morning; we had a lecture about the different functions of an SLR. (I don't have one, so the school lent me one. Yay!) Aperture and Depth of Field instantly striked my interest together with its Bokeh effect. These above was for the attempt to find the 'Abstract' concept for the game the organization asked. But being a newbie, I didn't have the slightest clue on what to get. lol So yeah, I ended up having the commentary of "not an a

Do Not Insert Image

I was supposed to post a lot of pictures but the 'Insert Image' took loads of time to load, so I'm stuck with text. Aww I'll blog some other time. -_-

I'm B!

What could be more grateful than a whole lot of blessings visually given straight out from heaven? Yesterday was another one of the days when I would go to school. Unexpectedly though, a lot of blessings came knocking in. Freebies from Roxy, Quicksilver, DC and Kickers. There was an assembly of people gathering at our school lobby during lunch time, and being one of the curious students, I invited myself to join. I was with Nicole, Belay and Jian, at that time. At first, we were hesitant but since it was free we just grabbed the opportunity of getting freebies. Basta libre, GO! A text from Ms Shai from Cathay Pacific for my OJT. I got this text during my second to the last class during the yesterday afternoon. At first, it was Nicole who read it from her phone. Excitedly after, I checked my phone to see this message too. I got so happy Nicole said I turned red. Haha! The result of wishful thinking and continous checking of results from my calculator. Last week my

Hunger Games!

Image
Want more? Have you guessed where I have been all my life? loljoke. For about two days already, I literally hanged-out in a different location, which is quite unlikely. You see, my father got hospitalized yesterday morning and I have been spending my time in the hospital. With barely a morning face without any trace of make-up, I went early in the hospital. Good thing I got my laptop at hand, I thought of so much things to do.. and that involves the use of an internet connection. Sadly though, the wi-fi was not free anymore *sobs* . So I spent my morning reading.. 'The Hunger Games' *insert jolly face* . Through out my reading, I got tired and the oplan camwhore happened.. again. Haha! Pardon my face, I got less than 5 hours of sleep before that, and I remembered that I drank coffee, which made me, unsleepy. Tomorrow would be the sort-of operation my father would have to go to. I hope it goes well. Wish him well. Adios!

Date a girl who takes photography.

Here's an advice for all the guys out there. If I were a guy, I'll definitely follow this, cause this just makes every memory of you and your significant other a very memorable one. I saw this at some website before but I forgot to post it here, then my friend, Clarrisse, tagged me this. Enjoy! Date a girl whose favorite sound is the click-click of the shutter as it closes and opens to capture a memory. Date a girl who sees the wonder in the simplest things. Date a girl who looks at the world and wonders how to put a little of herself in it. You might find her in the park, lost behind her lens, the world a blur around her as she tries to capture a single moment in time. You might find her in an exhibit, a look of concentration on her face as she contemplates a photograph that called out to her as she was passing by. Or maybe you will find her in a bookstore, a book in her lap as she pores over photographs of weddings all the while wondering what hers would look like. Take
