Oh Shoot Wishlist

My parents always tell me to dream big, and this is me dreaming big.

I know I haven’t been that much into photography lately. I am often too lazy to take photos and too lazy to pose for the camera. But I want to get my photography mojo back, and I will try to get it back by the end of this year. Anyway, I was just planning to create a Christmas wishlist but I realized that most of the things I want are photography-related. Heh. So I created this wishlist instead. I arranged this according to priority. Yes, I have sorted out my priorities in case Ron Weasley asks.

1. EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 (Bought a Tamron 18-135 mm instead! Still from Dbgadgets)

This is just like my broken kit lens! I just really need a standard zoom lens and this is the cheapest in the market. Lulz. Will probably buy it here this month.

2. Holga 135

EEEEEH. I’m so excited to buy this, okay. Cannot wait to try film (though I sucked at it during DEVC140 Basic Photography days)! I intentionally wanted to buy the 120N since it’s cheaper. However, the 135 has an easier-to-find film format so I opt for that. This one’s only P3,000 I think. Not bad for a camera! I can also take multiple exposures using the 135 and that’s the number one reason why I want this. I’m just not sure where to buy one. I saw one in ebay (for only P1,559!!!) but I don’t have a Paypal account. I think Holga 135BC is offered more in local online shops but I’m not so hot about the black corners. [Read more…]

Divisoria Loot 2.0

This, by far, is my best Divisoria trip. I’m not exactly sure why but I was smiling like an idiot the entire day just because of my Divisoria trip. I was actually on a prissy mood the day before because Ate Karen, Ate Ninay, and I were supposed to book a flight to Thailand last 11.11.11 because of the P11 promo. HUHUHU. But because of our stupid internet, the slots sold out! I got so depressed that I wanted to cry. I just really want to go to Thailand because I’m so obsessed with Thai boys movies right now.

To cure my shallow depression, I decided not to hold back when Ayessa and I go to Divisoria the next day! And I didn’t, and I’m so glad that I finally let loose on money a little. I’ve been so stingy the whole year but I guess it’s time that I enjoy my hard-earned (questionable, indeed) money. I REGRET NOTHING.

I don’t know. Maybe I just loved the trip so much because it made me feel grown-up. Even though I’m already working, I rarely spend money on clothes, bags, etc. This is actually the first time I went to Divisoria and shopped using my own money. I guess it’s the reason why it’s so fulfilling. Who know. Maybe the trip just made me happy because I simply love shopping and I’m just spewing reasons to convince myself that I’m not a shopaholic. No, I’m not yet a shopaholic. [Read more…]

Forever Classless

If you’d ask me whether I’d rather be good in dancing or singing, I’d be quick to answer that I’d love to be the best dancer in the world. I am easily awed by a good dancer, and it would be awesome if I could kick some ass on the dance floor. Sure, I can also pass as a frustrated singer, but I’m really more of a frustrated dancer.

I have two left feet and Alex said I have a funny expression when I dance. (He’s often the unfortunate audience of my silly dance moves.) My sister said that she thought I’d grew up to be an agogo dancer, but I luckily didn’t! (Yay.) I don’t know how to explain it, but even I can admit that it looks pretty awful when I dance. Heh. Despite knowing that I’m a horrible dancer, I do it anyway–to everyone’s annoyance.

When Riya told me last Saturday that I should quit blogging and pursue vlogging, instead, I laughed at the idea. I hate public speaking, and vlogging, I think, passes as a form of public speaking. So no, vlogging is definitely not for me. But this idea of vlogging inspired me, of course.

I went to my lola’s house last Saturday and saw my cousin doing something on her laptop and playing some party music (whatever that is). Out of sheer fun, I borrowed my cousin’s beanie (which looked so cute on her and which made me look like a burglar) and tried to look gangsta cute. Haha.

And so this video resulted:

Heehee. I know I look kyot! That’s Ruby and she still hadn’t taken a bath when we took the video. Yet, she still looked tons better than I did. Too bad you can’t hear her laugh in the video. She’s the craziest laugher I’ve ever met. Haha.

I know I can never be a dancer, and I wouldn’t even dare bring my dancing into clubs or on the dance floor. But just let me do silly things like this and I’ll be fine. I swear I won’t be bitter that no one would ever tell me that I dance well. Just don’t make me stop dancing my silly dance moves and I can be a happy banana for the rest of time.

I would never ever venture into vlogging but shooting random  videos can be fun. Looking like a fool is my talent, and I’d probably do it again. I don’t know. Glamour and sophistication don’t really work for me. It’s awkward when I act like a lady, and people say I make seduction look like a joke. So I’d just be a klutz and wish for people to accept me for me. (I swear I don’t intend for that to sound dramatic.)
