He wishes he had a girlfriend who:

-loves to talk with him every minute of everyday
-likes to be wherever he wants to be for a whole afternoon
-asks his whereabouts within reason
-cooks for him regardless of the calorie intake
-appreciates his playlists and types of music
-updates him of her every whereabouts at her own freewill
-supports his artsy-fartsy ideas
-accepts him in spite of his obvious imperfections
-would be his fashion model for a day or two
-has almost the same interest as his
-would never go busy and would spend a whole weekend with him
-kisses him before saying good bye of good night.
-talks all her problems out with him
-will be his best friend
-he sees every day
(and the list goes on..)

But he's only wishfully thinking.




Sentiments of a dreamer.

Us

They made a statue of us.

And it's contagious.

PFFFT!

So I got my 8th rejection letter today. So what? What is: the feeling of being rejected 8 times? Seriously?! FML. I've been averaging 4 job applications every day since last Thursday and I've been denied for the eighth time since yesterday. What gives? And their reasoning and wordings are somewhat generic though, like "thank you for taking time to apply for the position but..." (here comes their bitchiness) "we regret to inform you that we will not proceed any further" or "your application is unsuccessful on this occasion" and they usually end with "best of luck to you future applications." So after they've rejected your knowledge, disgraced your character and torn your souls apart, they'll give you words of good fortune and boost your motivations like they actually cared? Kind of like a mock, huh? I seriously wonder where this will go. Anyhow, I still made my day by staying positive and looking at the brighter side of things. This job applications are somewhat fun after all.

Anyway, this is exactly what I needed now - a little bit of your sweetness... But there's nothing  left in the cupboard. Sigh. I got a cheaper alternative, but still, nothing beats the real thing.

Perfect exposure - I think.

About the shoot: Shot last April '11. This was my first time to do a product shoot using an external flash. Tried experimenting the flash from different direction and even bouncing it above the (white) ceiling, but I found coming from the my right the most suitable.

Ciao,

PS: By the time I was editing this I already have done an exam-like test from one of my prospective employers. And I'm seriously crossing my fingers to pass that and proceed to the next stage of the interview process because honestly, I barely had any ideas on what I've answered. Seemed like uni did not teach everything there is to learn (Well that's obviously the case! Idiot me)!

Before getting too attached..

He suddenly wants to talk to her. He waited all day in high hopes that she could finally spend her last few minutes before dosing off with him at least through exchanges of instant messages - or whatever easier at her disposal. But it turns that she's dead tired from her day's worth of activities. He then realizes the time differences - their different worlds, and each other's works, chores and activities. He remembered having an intimate conversation regarding situations like these, that he and she must work and work and work some more to keep themselves busy without realizing the time passing by. But she has a life of her own, and with the time on her hands she can do whatever she would like. A little chitchat with her before going to sleep would really be a delight, he thought! To maintain the status quo here is really important, he added. Theirs is none like other: this is not your typical romance. The distance, the longing, the letters, the kisses and misses. So the efforts are doubled. He would just wait again for another day, another shot that he could hope to make the feelings right for him, and for her. Then before ending this last sentence, he realizes that he really can't do much about it, whatever he does.

PS: If she had finally found this then she'd know he's just a little unwell that he needs her right now.
PPS: Florence Welch will be my lady for tonight.
PPPS: F##&%^! LDR.

Lens test

I was doing a little bit of a lens/es test; I wasn't even sure what lenses I have used in this series. I've played with different exposure compensation and focal lengths. At the same time I was also doing laundry as you can see - what lovely subjects!
