  • I got me a fishy!

    This past weekend I got a fish! For Free! Thanks Ton for being so kind! The first 2 days he was with me I'm not gonna lie he was pretty cramped up. I posted pics and everyone was helpful with giving me tips and scolding me about how the fish will not be happy living in a tiny little Gerber glass container. 

    I finally gave him a better home. Went to Walmart and passed by the Candles section and this one glass caught my eye.

    I posted the picture in facebook and everyone was more happy with the result lol. I still didn't know what to name him..

    Coincidentally. Everyone started commenting on how he bowl looks like a blender. I reassured everyone. It was not a blender. They kept on pointing out still then Marla decided that it should just be named Blender. The name was actually pretty cool for the guy. So I went with it.

    His name has been dothed Blender Bulilan.

    It is a Siamese Fighting Fish or Betta Splendens according to Wikipedia. hmmm. I plan to take good care of it and hope to post more pics of him as time passes. He's a neat lookin guy. Red and Purple my favorite colors ♥

  • This Friday

  • Geocaching Hates Me.

    The search begins

    I tried finding a cache (GC1B53A) that I couldn't find last time because I didn't have a proper GPS Device. But during my off day I was all about trying to find it again. I went to the location and was searching high and low. Mind you this was my first attempt to successfully finding a cache. As I passed by the creek I saw items scattered all over the water. Cute toys too.... It only made sense that it was...

    DUN DUN DUNN

    Indeed the cache I was looking for.  I also saw a piece of paper in the water and sure enough. It had the Geocaching Logo embedded onto it, along with a list of names of people on the past who have found the cache. I layed them out on a tree to dry. Realizing I forgot a pen, I decided to trek back to my car and get one and something to swap the prize with. 

    Dry Cache DRY!!!

    I passed by some kids playing in the park as well.. I thought what if.. and didn't think much of it. 

    Finished getting a pen and a prize to replace the prize i'll be taking for the cache and started walking back to the cache when I see those kids trekking in front of me.. Hoping they didn't do anything to the things I let dry. I reach the spot where I let it dry and.. IT was ALL jacked up =____________________________=

    It was like adding insult to injury =___=

    The prize I wanted to trade for was broken and I only found a remnant of it in the water. I scrounged up the rest that I could find and incidentally found the tupperware it belonged to as well. -sigh- The last Geocache was a epic fail as well. Today was a half find. I hope they fix it so I can find where it was suppose to be. I posted it on the site so the owner could be aware of the mishap. Hopefully the next geocache won't be so bad. 

    This geocache was by a cemetary D: How fitting.

  • If I Went Chibi


    Cameras that wind make a click noise right? lol I was gonna go for Vreen. But then i was all nvm.


    Haven't drawn anything for a while so I thought i'd give it a shot. The picture actually came out good :) I was worried about the lens and how i'd show the reflection properly but it turned out good. It's nice to have some time off for a while ♥ It's nice to have time by myself as well.

    I made the camera company Minolto since I love how real anime does that with their products to protect them from copyrights. (i.e. PONY, SQNY, Packy, etc.) The rest of the BG was just whatever came on my mind first lol. The top right happy bubble is actually from Rip Slymes - Blow music video. I have fun drawing it when i'm bored now. woo. took me about.. 5 hours? drawing and all.

  • Audio Repeat: Flight Facilities


    Flight Facilities - Crave You ft Giselle

    I think for the past week.. I've been listening to this song. Repeatedly. I don't know why but her voice is sexy and awesome. And the beat, everything about this song just sounds right. As far as I know Flight Facilities is from Trinidad? Their beats be saucesome. So far in Amazon, there is only one single out, So these guys must be fairly new to the music industry. They have like 6 Remixes but I really just like the original. Buy it. Buy it now. $0.89 will not hurt you. ♥

    Buy it at Amazon Here: Crave You

  • Photographic Light Theorem

    AIA Day ruined my time to have fun with the blogs that really mattered. Like this one.

    After messing around with Light Painting. I realized we could probably do something more crazy. Something like, make multiples with ourselves, using the long exposure time, and multiple flashes. Back in the olden days, to include people into the light painting, we used one flash during the long exposure period and started painting to add the light paint effect.

    We were suppose to wait for a friend to catch up with us to do the pictures. But we got too excited and went and did it without him. It's ok, we went out to take a picture of the NYC so all was not lost.

    We did a bunch of tests but finally we started understanding how to get it done. So now I present to you, The Non-Photoshopped Raw Edit pictures that I was happy with. I shall call it. Light Cloning. 


    STOP! HITTING YOURSELF! My favorite shot of all!


    My awesome posing skills while we were still testing the theory


    Jan knows what Jan is about to do


    Royce is cheering on for Royce to kick Royces ass. Oh yeah. 

     

    As you can see it was a Success! We even made 3 clones and probably could have made more if we wanted :) Some things I did notice. The reason why we were see through was because the light wasn't strong enough on us. If it was a weak flash or we were too far away from the flash then we would easily get see through. So we had to make sure we were close when we were flashing the subject. 

    Bonus Pics!

    After that we went to the river front across of NY, Jan showed us a good spot to take pics, and my was it lovely. 


    Finally took a picture of the city :D I always wanted to do this


    The skyline and the moon.


    Silhouettes enjoying their time


    A couple more light painting shots


    Just us going crazy now


    A drunk couple came up to us and asked if we could take some shots for them.. it wasn't at all awkward. 

    Favorite phrase the guy said, "yeah.. how you like that ass?" "yeah you like that?

  • AIA Day: .____.

    Hello everyone, thinking this AIA day was going to be easy and didn't need much research, I went along with it thinking I can find inventions 3 days ahead of time. But since times have been rough, I think i'm going to have to put this on pause. Or will integrate it with blogs as a little did ya know. I regret to tell you all this, and it's short lived attempt but. AIA Day will be paused. Or will be permanently intermittent .

    Sorry if this disheartens. I'm disheartened as well.
