camera-whore.

it's been a while since i've turned the camera towards myself,

i'm not much of a picture-posing person & i'd rather stay behind the camera.

but that doesn't mean i don't have a camera-whore streak ;)

when i first started out, my subject matter of choice, of course, was me, and then i grew up out of that.

even though every now and then i'll entertain what little vanity i have.

5. Five things that irritate you about the opposite sex/same sex.

i'm a pretty amiable person.

i like everyone. i get along with everyone.

i'm tolerant of a lot of things and i'm respectful.

it's hard to piss me off, hard to annoy me, hard to get me to dislike you.

foreal.

but proceed to have these five qualities and you'll get the look i'm giving you via photobooth pic above.

little red corvette.

i've been given the chance to direct/style a music video that's influenced by this song.

but, it's a good song nonetheless. besides, who wouldn't love a little prince in their lives?

(the vulgar and sexual prince of the eighties, not the recently reformed jehovah's witness prince)

i'm excited about this project/opportunity that knocked at my door.

although i've shot little videos for my own enjoyment, this'll be a definite first.

hopefully i can translate all my ideas successfully, lol.

4. What you wear to bed.

Usually I just wear a shirt/tank top and panties to bed.

Tonight, I'll be under the covers with my Wonder Woman shirt & purple Hanes.

anti-insomnia & retro cameras.

I've been given many gifts this month and I've very thankful for them and the friends who have shown me love. 

The cover reads: "I CAN'T SLEEP, A journal for passing the time when insomnia strikes and my brain is circling in on itself, cannibalizing the trivialities of the day and exaggerating the ticking of the clock, reminding me that every minute spent awake is another minute closer to when I'll have to get up, though many of the great artists and sages were insomniacs and that's part of how they got so much done, so if I can't sleep I might as well write and channel my misery into something productive."

I want to thank Melissa de Mata for the journal she gave me when we met for the first time this Tuesday. It's a journal to write in whenever my archenemy insomnia (oh, how familiar a-face you are) strikes and I'm absolutely in love with it. I was kind of shocked since I came across it online and kind of pined for it and then BAM! She hands it to me after a hug over at Campos before we headed to Gyu Kaku.

If you guys didn't know, Miss de Mata is a fellow writer and photographer, and SF editor, of Light Meets Night. I actually wouldn't have been added to the team if it weren't for her (and yes, I just met her, after many text messages, LMN Skype meetings and phone conversations). For that, I thank her, and for the journal I am so grateful. As I've told you before, expect something from me very soon!

clam chowder & challenge 003.

I know, I know, I'm really bad at updating. I'm trying to balance out my life, work, passions, blogging, writing...it's very apparent that I'm not doing a very good job at it. But, fret not, for here I am! Even though I believe that never late is better, well, it's better late than never. (Thanks, Drake.) Anyway, I see that Blogger's done a little bit of sprucing up regarding its image. Can't say I like it very much but I guess that's because I'm just not used to it. And am I the only one who thinks Google+ is kind of...unnecessary? Maybe it's because I'm getting old and Facebook is just that great, but I don't think another social networking site is really needed. Maybe if it was a super improved version of the current top-social networking site (Facebook), but I think Facebook pretty much has everything going on for it (we can even Skype through Facebook chat??!! Dope).

Moving on.

I love my roommate, Steven! I was craving a sourdough bread bowl clam chowder (from Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco, of course) really bad and tweeted about it. I come home yesterday and BAM! I had a can of Chunky's Clam Chowder waiting for me in the kitchen, courtesy of my French Vietnamese roommate.

I love the people I live with. I'm seriously so lucky to live with my close friends & my lover.
