It's Christmas Eve, but... MERRY CHRISTMAS!

It's Christmas and the new year is coming.
So I'm posting up an image of a rainbow I tried to chase this month.
I was researching the meaning of a rainbow and one of the sites stated this:

"The rainbow is a bridge between the real and imaginary. It is looked at as a magic bridge on one hand, but on the other hand, people say a project doomed to fail is one built on a rainbow. A person who chases rainbows is someone who never accomplishes anything."

I felt so stupid after reading this statement.
What was I thinking???? In the back of my mind I knew that it was an impossible task, but for some reason, I felt like there was an end and I could be the one to find it.
I guess, to me, the rainbow represents "hope".
I've been feeling like I haven't accomplished anything in my life and I've been living in my own little bubble.
So now, I feel like it's time for me to face reality and start going for my dreams/goals.
Even if there is nothing in the end, the journey will be worth it, right? ^^

Thanksgiving 2009

I’m not too fond of strobe lighting, so I decided to play around with it this Thanksgiving break.
Still getting the hang of it…
It’s fun, but a lot of work if you don’t have an assistant~ hehe

Let’s go!

Yay! Student Show @ OCC

The photo department had the annual student show jury.
I turned in 2 of my work and 1 got accepted.
Yay~!!!!!!
I’ll let you guys know when the exhibit starts.
Everyone should come and check it out! ^^

Tis the Season

I guess it’s already winter.
This year, it felt like autumn never came…
Living in Southern California, you can’t really see the seasons change.
But, last weekend, I went up to San Francisco for a day trip and they already started to put up a Christmas tree, the ice rink was open, and people were dressed like it was going to snow~
Winter is my favorite season.
Hope this year is a good one for me and for everybody!!!!

This is just a test to see if this program works~ ^^

Night of Shooting

Went to the train tracks with my cousin to do some night-shooting.

Monday and Tuesday

Yesterday was pretty busy.
I had to wake up early to eat Thai food for lunch with a neighborhood friend~
Then, my cousin and I had to head over to my school, which is in Costa Mesa, to return some equipments.
After that, we headed over to Santa Monica to meet some people from the UK.
I just showed them around Venice Beach and Santa Monica real quick.
The main thing we saw was the sunset and the pier.
For dinner, the guests wanted to eat some Mexican food, so, of course, we had to go to El Taurino~ ^^
But on the way there, I decided to drive by Koreatown, so they can she how similar it is to Korea.
They LOVED the food~!!!!! hehehe
Well, I'm glad~
It was a great day of chatting and eating! :)

Today, I didn't get to do much because I had to work.
But, I just wanted to say how I loved the weather.
I love it when it's super windy and cloudy~
It makes me feel good~ kekeke
Also, after work, I came home and my cousin and I went out to the park to do some lighting tests before we actually start to shoot our project.
It's gonna be good. It better be good!
Now, I gotta prepare my assignments for tomorrow...
Good night everyone!!!!

Congratulations May 누나!!!!!

Wedding Rehearsal

Went to a wedding rehearsal tonight.
It was my first, so I didn't know what to expect~
But, it was fun!

Don't Be Lazy!

I haven't been able to post anything on my blog lately~ :(
I've been preoccupied with many other things...
I think too much~ hehehe
But now I need to get back on it!!!!
FOCUS!!!!!!
I don't know if it's a good time to get back on top of things because I have a visitor coming from Korea this Sunday and is staying with me for about 3 weeks~
We are going to be photographing things up!!!!!
I'm can't guarantee it, but I will try to update during this time~ ^^
Have a Happy Day!!!!!!!!!!!

Burden

L.A.-Santa Monica-Malibu-Venice

Started the day with some tacos in L.A.
Then we went off to Santa Monica to ride our bicycles.
From there, we rode to Malibu to Venice and back to Santa Monica.
The snake in the image above was in Venice.
This couple was showing off their snake in exchange for money, so that they can buy food for the snake~
Weird~ ^^

Friday

The last Friday of the summer~ :(
Time well spent with great people!!!!

Happy Birthday Linda(?) kkk

Yesterday was my friend's bday, but I couldn't do dinner so a group of us had a bday lunch!
It was good, but we couldn't enjoy it much because the weather was sOOO hot~
We were getting heatstrokes~ kkk
Oh...and I saw Stephen Baldwin there...it was weird~
Everyone just wanted to hurry up and eat and go to an air-conditioned cafe~ ^^
So we did and had some shaved ice, which cooled us down a lot!!!!

Susan's Birthday

Happy Birthday Susan!!!
I haven't seen her for almost 13 years, but everything was still the same.
It was so much fun and the food was delicious~ ^^
And we are thinking that the lady with the green shirt is Barbara Corcoran from the TV show Shark Tank. kkk
It was so funny because we were just hanging out in front of the restaurant and these 3 random people wanted to take a picture with us~
My assumption was that they thought we were fobs, they were also tourists, and they just wanted a picture with us... hehehe
Anyways, too funny! :)

Farewell ( for now~ ^^ )

It's been so long since I posted something on my blog.
This is my 4th day back home from Japan/Korea.
Still jetlagged... lacking too much sleep~ ;;;;

Anyways, I met a new friend, Annie, from this trip.
She is so sweet, so nice, and so cute~ ^^
It hasn't been too long since I've known her, but she's already leaving me to go to school out of state. T.T
So sad~~~~~~~
So, we had a farewell dinner... some bbq and some tea/coffee!!!
I know you'll visit often and come back in couple of years, but...
Keep in touch and study hard~!!!!! :)
