I saw this and I thought YEAH! And then this message followed:
The trick isn't to make something others can relate to; but to allow others to witness what is in fact, a highly private moment.
...
BUT STILLLL
on a related note/postcard:
So sweet.

Me (10:45:39 PM): WTF
Me (10:45:39 PM): WTF
Me (10:45:40 PM): WTF

Francis (10:46:14 PM): and anderson cooper
Francis (10:46:19 PM): and not lucy truong or francis poon
Me (10:46:26 PM): ......................................................... This started from a conversation about this certain person who only tweets about one thing only but I can't say what it is because it will reveal his/her identity. But literally, everything from "Darn, I should've done this instead" to "Going to the ___!" is about THAT. Twitter is weird. I got one to follow Wong Fu's tweets and afterwards, I discovered it was like a 140 character-only sort of blog. If I find something that's interesting but don't really feel like typing a lengthy blog post about it, I'll just post it on Twitter. but more so, I'll be pissed off and I'll POST AN ANGRY TWEET IN ALL CAPS. @fake-o STFU STFU STFU
not really, but I wish.
yeah, I'm nice.

| An innocent question The reason why I featured this picture here will be revealed soon. I've been edging closer to stay-at-home, bonbon-eating housewife (except I don't eat bonbons) during these 3 weeks of summer that I have had so far. Which means I also watch The Tyra Show (but strangely not Oprah). Yesterday there was this episode about "Finding the right guy" and "Staying away from the wrong guys" and one guy would kiss these girls' hands during their speed dates. And today, I was reading the Kenwood blog (Kenwood was John Lennon's residence in Surrey) and some pictures from my favorite outtake with John and Cynthia were there, photographed by Robert Whitaker who I was soooo priviledged to meet at La Jolla's Morrison Hotel Gallery. Ok so Tyra Show + Robert Whitaker made me think back to that event when I met him and told him that he took some of my favorite photographs of The Beatles and he went "Really now?" in that English accent AND KISSED MY HAND. My roomie, who was with me (yes, I drag her to these events HAHA but we really enjoyed our outing that night!) said I looked so surprised/disgusted. Sorry, but GUYS DON'T NORMALLY KISS MY HAND.
So my question is...Is that supposed to be normal or something? The girls on The Tyra Show were just like "thank you" when the guy kissed their hands and I think I would've been a bit taken aback.
Eh, despite the uber awkward encounter with one of my favorite Beatles photographers, I hope I meet him again because I was soooo star/photogstruck that I wasn't able to ask him everything I've always wanted to know about his work. Like if he had a book out (I'd totally purchase it) and how did he like John Lennon's home and did he notice any tension between John and Cynthia. Ehhhhh there's even more...I should write these down.

| Things I discovered at SD, but first...I've been looking at my last Xanga post over and over and I realized that I'm quite proud of some of the pictures I've taken but it also makes me kind of sad that a. I'm not doing much outside of home (and the streets of HH while driving) anymore. b. I don't have a better camera.
I'm showing some of these pictures to my friends and they're like ehh this one's blurry...this one could be better with a vignette...blahblahblah all that technical stuff. what sucks is that the camera I'm currently using is getting WORSE. I guess I didn't care for it very well, dropping it in the sands of Omaha Beach and whatnot. It makes a funny noise when it turns on now and most importantly, it doesn't focus. I was taking simple still photos to post on eBay and in daylight, the freaking thing wouldn't focus from any distance or with a tripod substitute.
ok some updates...my grandmother passed away the morning after I visited her for the last time which was on Father's Day, I realized that funerals are weird and don't act as fitting tributes to deceased persons (why is there a viewing?), I'm sad that MJ is gone, I can NOT believe that Billy Mays passed, I've been driving on those 40mph streets, and I've been sleeping/ waking up at odd times of the day (9AM - 4AM), and then some.
SD thingies
I like making salads.
All my peers are intelligent in some way.
SD > Irvine.
I'm going to go deaf if I keep going to concerts every week.
I suck at speaking and I can't do anything about it.
High ISO may make pictures grainy but that's better than having a pic washed out by light. IDIOTS.
I am way too right-brained and many people at SD are too left-brained.
Colleges waste so much energy and money.
Still, public schools really DO need funding.
I need to wear jeans less often (because I don't have enough to last me more than a week).
You can learn by yourself. *surprise surprise!*
I spend too much time looking at things that I'll probably never be able to purchase.
I get distracted too easily while reading.
I hate snoring; if I ever marry, my future husband better not snore. jk...I hope.
Ear plugs help soooo much.
I want people to be thoughtful of others just as I am towards them (most of the time).
UTC HAS AN AMAZING MAGAZINE RACK. So do most Barnes & Noble bookstores.
eBay is wonderful. So is Goodwill.
I miss volunteering.
Buildchange.org
I miss saying random Mandarin phrases at school (not many Mandarin speakers here).
People tend to hang out with "their own kind". Koreans with Koreans, Christians with Christians, Korean Christians with Korean Christians...
People need to be more understanding.
Buddhism is a really interesting religion with beliefs I can never adhere to.
I don't really take pictures of myself or my friends. I think I should...we're 18! Primetime of our lives, baby.
People need to be more aware of how their actions affect the environment. *COUGHCOUGHTOTHEEX-ROOMIE* Reuse and recycle, people!
Anything has the potential to be considered art, which is most unfortunate.
P.S. Click made me cry SO MUCH. It got really bad reviews but I think they were mainly bad because the movie mixed in sappy drama with fartsy comedy. Lucky for me, I can appreciate both!  Damn critics. Wish they could, too! And who the heck is Kate Beckinsale? she's supa hot, I mean pretty. xD | | |
| In hopes of getting a Canon 5Dyo, I need yo' help! So there's this contest in which this really great photog couple saw that someone on Flickr was saving up for a DSLR and came up with an idea to give one away (vague? that's what I thought, too). And so they're holding this contest. I need to choose 5 of my favorite photographs to submit and I really really wanna win because everytime I shoot with my crap point-and-shoot, I think WOW this picture could be so much better if only I had a DSLR. My camera can't really focus anymore so unless you think accidental light trails and blurry lines are pretty, I need a working camera.
If you could be so kind...please select 5 of your favorite images from below, in any order! No captions, just pictures. Sorry if the images are big, this is how I must submit them (500 px wide).
