playing with mirrors

Do you remember that pretty little compact May gave me?

I have been playing with it.

I knew that if you wanted to focus on a subject in a mirror, you have to take the distance of the subject to the mirror, and multiply it by 2. This is my first time trying it manually.

It makes sense doesn't it? I had so much fun with it.

I made a small "about" page here. There isn’t much on it, but I hope to add more later on.

You know that spectacular birthday party in my last post? Go see more great pictures from Erica, Anabela and Karyn if you already haven’t!

Geoff introduced me to their friend Johan, who is an incredibly talented photographer. He showed me some of his work, and I felt really inspired. He has a show coming up at Pikto Gallery at the end of March, and I can't wait to go see it. Do drop by if you are in the city on March 26th!

I do not usually pay too much attention to camera equipment, but I am now lusting for a new lens. Which one? I am not sure yet.

I went to the cutest party yesterday, full of balloons, gold glitter, (exploding) confetti, and a pink piñata!.

It was Erica's lovely birthday party, hosted by Anabela and Geoff, with a decadant birthday cake made by Nikole. So many wonderful people were involved, and so many lovely friends were there to celebrate!

She just turned 23.
23 is a pretty sweet year.

If I had to pick a favourite part of your head, it would be the top of your head. Of course, I love your entire head, but if I absolutely had to pick, I would choose the top.

Why?

Because it fits perfectly in that spot in between my shoulder and my armpit, and when I hug it, it feels like an egg.

Today, we have been together for 6 happy years! Happy Anniversary honey!

dumplings and hearts

This is my weekend, part 2.

This year, the lunar calendar’s New Year landed on the same day as Valentine’s Day. To celebrate the New Year, our friends had a dumpling making party! We all sat around the table, stuffing and folding, and neatly placing dumplings in a row. To celebrate Valentine’s Day, I made everyone wear a paper heart on their shirt, like in the movie Julie and Julia.

We all ate a lot of delicious dumplings that night. And we all looked so festive!
