Happy new year!!

I didn’t even realize that it was the 31st of December today! It looks more like a day after Christmas!

I remembered writing my new year’s resolution weeks before new year, eh, this year? Maybe I should do some now.

Um, gah, I tried, but can’t! I hate doing up lists and coming close to things like planning. I remembered I loved these, I was left-brained last year. I’m like the ‘hate-art’ type of person last year.

This year, I’m 87% left-brained.

What else would I be in 2008?

Before I start rattling on and on again (See how I digressed from New year to a subject on brains!), Happy new year to you all, it would be a new begining, a new year for doing just everything you want to do!

My camera played dead on me

It bothers me a little that its blurred, what a pity. This is taken around a month ago, which is a very very long time ago, say if you’ve pursued photography for 5 years, this was taken a year ago. Hey, I wonder why I didn’t ‘discover’ this picture in the past. It seems like as time goes by, some pictures look better.

And why am I uploading old photos?

My camera played Dead on me!!

I almost died out of grief, I’m serious. I was planning to get another Panasonic DMC-F1 (no other cameras will do) if it does not come around tomorrow. Yes, its not the first time, its the 4th or 5th time this month already, it never freaked me out, because it’s certified that my ‘appliances’ achieve immortal status.

My cellphone survived water (apparently I absentmindedly washed it in the morning)– it came on and off but after a day, ‘business as usual’. I’m sure you’ve heard that story, haha, I’m told everyone I met in school that day.

When my camera ‘walks out’ on me, I usually fiddle around with the battery, when it does not work, I use the second battery and normally it comes around. But today, nothing worked, I even tried pulling the lens out/ nearly dismantling the whole thing and putting it together. But I didn’t, I’m no Thomas Edison or what freak, I took of a few screws and… and went on fantasizing what my life would be like with my Olympus.

Oh man, can’t.

You get me a dslr, it wouldn’t soothe me in the least bit. I’m grown onto my camera.

I got the screws on, replaced another battery, and it seemed that my camera just wanted a little attention and an affirmation that I wouldn’t trade it for something else, the screen blinked and it came on.

I don’t know if I was relieved or angry.

Dream

Experimenting further with the ’spin’. It depends on luck mostly. (and I think I’m really lucky)

I’m finding it hard to edit pictures, because you see, its so arbitrary– for this picture, I could tune up the exposure for a certain mood I wanna achieve and I could tune it down for a total different mood. So I’ve stopped editing these pictures, actually they look okay the way they are.

This is my current favorite from the ’spin’ series, where I hold my camera and spin with it until it clicks.

Maybe I should start titling my pictures like,” Neck and collarbones” or something, lol.

My ears hurt, my right ear feels extremely funny.  They accomodated the earphones there for almost 24 hours now. Its 4.23 am, I’m not sleeping yet, damn, I need to finish that whole stack of essays for tution. The gastric juice had been swishing around in my stomach, now its just a plain, dull ache. I hope I don’t get gastric, I’m too lazy to get up for food. I would rather die starving here in front of the com.

Its funny how my neck and back didn’t work up on me today– they used to if I stayed up to 2-3am.

Wow, what am I saying. I love staying up at night, sleep makes me tired. I don’t need to sleep, not for 2 days. Somehow I quitted coffee, it just walked out of my life one day– I don’t even know when I ‘quitted’ it.

I just hope my ears are alright, please, please.

4.27 am

Wierd things happen when I don’t sleep– I start listening to rap songs.
