SPRING! It's just around the corner!

Yes it is! I can’t wait for Spring to officially begin at this side of the planet! I just can’t wait to shed all these thick clothes, thick shoes, and just feel the warmth of the sun against my whole body that is aching for it!!

In the meantime, beautiful flowers are keeping me company. They’re around all year long but buying them from flower shops are pretty costly thus market it is for me if I want them in our home on a weekly basis.

These tulips are part of the bunck that I bought yesterday. I was in the mood to do some photography and this was just one of the almost 100 that I took.

Well…I really just wanted to say that I’m excited for the coming of Spring!

They’re here! My new Monster high dolls are here! weeeeeeeeee

Oops sorry about that :D It’s just that I’ve been waiting for my dolls to arrive the past 8 days and when they finally were brought in by the postman, I was thrilled!

Fresh from their boxes and needed to be prep, especially the hairs, all unruly unfortunately. I can’t wait to photograph them but for the meantime, let me share another doll with you..

SPECTRA VONDERGEIST

Age: 16

Monster Parents: The Ghosts

Killer Style: Silk, silk and more silk accentuated with just a touch of metal. It allows me to freely float about with just a hint of rattle. It’s quite the haunting look, wouldn’t you agree?

Freaky Flaw: Yes, well I’ve never really given this much thought you see since I find that it’s unhealthy to focus on what one does wrong especially when contrasted with all the good one does in unlife. I am also not a gossip, despite rumors to the contrary.

Pet: Rhuen is my ghost ferret. Did you know that the name ferret comes from the Latin furittus, which means “little thief”? Of course you didn’t until I told you!

Favorite Activity: Providing certain information not readily available to the general Monster High student body.

Biggest Pet Peeve: When certain monsters doubt the behind the screams information I have about what really happens at Monster High. It can be very difficult being the only one in the know.

Favorite School Subject: Journalism.

Least Favorite School Subject: Math. It’s just so rigid and un-open to interpretation.

Favorite Color: Violet

Favorite Food: Angel Food cake. It’s light and full of sweetness, much like me.

BFF’s: Everyone loves Spectra V!

I am holding my camera again and I’m starting taking photos.

I’ve lost my interest in photography for almost a year (due to personal reason) but I have decided to snap out of this period and enjoy it again. Or at least I will try :)

Thus, this afternoon this is what I found in our backyard while I let my pug Charlie play there. Focusing on its center but I failed. Not only that my hands were shakey, wind blowing did not help as well.

Practice. Practice. I need to practice a lot, again, and again.

Bubba's shrimps

This was  last night’s meal. Fried rice with bagoong (shrimp paste)  and fresh shrimps.  This is my photo and quote for this week’s Food Quote meme.

” Anyway, like I was sayin’, shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey’s uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There’s pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That- that’s about it. “-  Bubba (Forrest Gump movie)

I am not going to share the recipe here but if you’re interested you can find it HERE.

Colorful water droplets are fun!

These are not bubbles. These are water droplets.

I had fun composing the idea I had in my head for this shot. It (shooting) was intended for the Litratong Pinoy challenge yesterday. I shot about 20 frames, used both RAW and JPG. Good thing both modes yielded a few good results.

This was only my second time to compose such and I must be honest, it’s pretty difficult to do! My back was really hurting since I had to drop water meticulously , they can’t be too near each other otherwise they will suck each other which would result to too big drops.

If you want to see the other shot, simply click this. I promise you, that shot is from the same composition but different result.

Start explaining, please.

I am again doing some macro photography the past days. I love macro photography, only due to my eyesight getting blurry at close distance (yep! it’s the age thing) I’m a bit down whenever I couldn’ t focus right on my subjects, my targets.  Since  macro photography requires sharp eyes, well I kind of pushed it in the backseat. You might ask why not get a pair of Rx? I already visited an optometrist for that but he said that I am not ‘quite’  there yet which I understand (as being an ex-opto myself) …I don’t want to be ‘there’  but really when it happens, I can not do anything about it. *sigh*

Anyway, this post isn’ t about my eyes but about thismacro photo I shot last night. What do you think is happening here? These miniatures resemble any couple having discussion, no matter what its about. The lady looks like me when I’m ‘explaining’ to my husband why I need a new camera lens ha ha! Or a new bag, or shoes :P   Or me explaining: ” honey, I didn’t exceed my budget for this bag, it’s actually from promotional bags offered and I got it cheap! ”
:D

Yang is doing well

Back in January 19 I’ve posted about my goldfish dying. I really thought he was. He (or her..I don’t know its gender) is Yang. He survived his ordeal and here he is. Photo was taken a few hours ago.

It did took almost 10 days for him to get back to normal, to reunite with the other fish. He actually had to stay in a smaller bowl and recuperate. I just followed the advice on this site and also gave him lots of TLC! To think that I almost put him out of misery. I’m glad I changed my mind and instead consulted the internet.

Aint Yang a cutie? :)
