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.

Placenter: Discovery Green

1500 McKinney
Houston, TX 77010

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? ...
