Engagement: Nealy & Francis

A couple of months ago, Chea asked me if I could take some engagement fotos for her and her fiance. It was during the month of September to be exact. So for six hours on a dreadfully sweltering day, we went from point A, to point B, to point C. Pose! Fake laugh! Kiss! And oh my golly, I was exhausted! Mucho props to the pros! I took approximately a thousand fotos. Of course I ended up only liking like five. Haha. There were so many fotos that I became a bit overwhelmed at the editing task at hand. So what did I do? Nothing. I did absolutely nothing. I'm so lazy! After it dawned on me that their wedding was around the corner, I lit a fire under my big arse and snapped to it. It took me fracking forever to decide which fotos I wanted to edit and then the actual editing also took a pretty good amount of time since the only thing I really know about photoshop is File-->Open. Hah! Luckily, Chea seemed to be ok with the final product. Hey! It's free! Warning. Picture overload ahead.

One dreary and drizzly day, big poppa and I made our way to Discovery Green to watch a cooking demonstration that was to take place there that day. But cos we had ourselves an idiot moment, it didn't occur to us that the event would be cancelled due to the weather. So of course, we get there and no one is there but us. But that was just fine and dandy cos to my delight, they had these decorated globes lined up everywhere! The exhibit is titled: Cool Globes: Hot Ideas for a Cooler Planet. The globes are five feet in diameter and seven feet tall. They're decorated by local, national and international artists. The message behind the decorated globes is to convey what ordinary citizens can do to combat global warming. My sisters actually wanted to come out here so I could take fotos of them with the globes, but alas, the exhibit is over.

Musik Mundi: Metric

I love Metric's latest album. Although I have their whole album, I can't seem to get it to upload onto my crappy player. I'm so tired of all this discrepancy when it comes to file formats. So all I could find were two songs for the player. Boo! My fave is Gimme Sympathy.

Who would you rather be: The Beatles or The Rolling Stones? ...

Trippin': Keystone - Tubing

You have a weekend, you seize it and go somewhere. Anywhere. Mochi had a snowboard trip planned and I decided to round up some folks to tag along with her. I also brought my sisters since they were disappointed that our Thanksgiving road trip to Denver never came to be. And OMGaudy they would not stop bugging my mom about asking me to plan another trip. So even though I would not be snowboarding myself, I really wanted my sisters to get the chance to do so. The things I do for them. Ai-yah. I already know I'll mos def spoil my kids with all the experiences the world has to offer. I won't be spoiling them with material junk that's for sure. The last thing we did on our trip was go tubing. For a ridiculous $27 per person for only ONE hour, you get to go tubing all you want. It sux that it's so expensive but once you're whizzing down on the tube ... it's so much fun that you convince yourself that it's almost worth it. Since they let you hold onto other people's tubes, we got to ride down together and listen to each other scream our heads off. Not only that, the workers would spin us so that it felt like we were going faster than we really were. I remember big poppa standing up and almost tipping over cos he was so dizzy. For people who have never done this before, I say DO IT! And if you're one of the few who absolutely refuse to give snowboarding or skiing a shot, then this is something to do while waiting around for the boarders and skiiers. I think all of us had a really good time. The only crappy thing is the magic carpet that takes forever to bring you back up to the top.
