Late night baking <3 Thanks Roomiee~
After looking at some other people's amazinggg photoblogs, super inspired! Definitely want to do wedding photography.

There is so much to improve..to explore. I want to get there.

Been doing a lot of scoping out for lenses. Kit lens definitely doesn't do it anymore. Of course compared to point and shoot cameras, the kit lens had a good satisfying run. But, needs are changing.

My brain powers for 1 hr during lecture at 8am and then the electric cord is cut. It's physiologically impossible. Why is it so hard to sleep early. Why is it so hard to stay awake.  The great mysteries.

The next couple of weeks will be a frenzy. Gotta musssttterrr up! the energy.

Been checking out some eye candy lately....hellloooooo thereee pretty 17-40mm f/4L lenss!!!

8D. I might majorly spoil myself again in the near future. like majjorrlly. Good thing I have a birthday in the summer to repair the impending dent in my wallet maybe!? Too bad I don't have a full frame camera. will upgrade in the future!

I can't believe half the semester is already almost over. I say this every time and every time i'm flabbergasted at how fast time can move along.

Hopefully the casualties of this round of midterms won't be too bad.

I do have a pending photo-shoot planned... once midterms are out of the way.

Getting tooo addicted with web design. Was fooling around with flash.

Time to stop and get my priorities straight. Midterms in 2 weeks!

Renovated the web design! Was getting bored of the other one. Hopefully it's more aesthetically pleasing. Hope you all enjoy the new faces of my site = ).

OmG death from Monday quizzes. Must study more... this is not working for me. On another note, my giant swellings are retreating. Only to be accompanied by increase in itch.

Can't wait for the day when my brain just gets it. Life would be good.

Found out yesterday that i'm heading to Vancouver in August wahooo. Something to look forward to ; ]

Congrats to Class of 2010!

Gonna have to do a rushed post. I realllyyy need to study now. haha.

This photo shoot was fun! Hung out with some friends old and new, and took pretty pictures = ]. At one point we found petals sprinkled all over the grass which was a nice prop for raining petal pictures! Hence the new homepage picture.

This shoot came with consequences: giant mosquito bites that manifested itself into something monstrous.

Here are some visuals: Enjoy!! haha

My dad told me to draw a circle around it and if it gets any bigger, have to go to the doctor!

I can feel the pressure building up inside.

These are the worst I've gotten. Not even the China mosqs are this bad.

Have been totally not studying the past few days. Gotta go and catchup now!

Yesterday, I gave my mommy a photo-shoot for Mother's Day!

The location for the shoot was Downtown Saratoga. Lots of little shops and fancy restaurants present, perfect for a high fashion photo-shoot. haha. Relaxing atmosphere~

chillin' in Toga
The weather was acting up a little but luckily we caught some good bits of sun.

My mom is pretty fashionable... so the shoot ended up having a very Gucci-couture feel to it hahah. I think my mom has been the most open model so far. Not shy at all!

I now know how to apply 1 action to a batch photos on photo-shop. How did not discover this before! no more individually resizing and adding logos. Will be more consistent with logo placement. Still need to discover the bottom of the iceberg that is photoshop.

People have mistaken her as my mom.
There should be more than 24 hours in a day. More like 27 hours, 3 extra hours made especially for extra sleep.
