I’ve just spent the majority of this week taking mid-terms and even after the deep massage on Wednesday, my back still aches and so is my head. Maybe I need a couple more sessions. Anyway, for this week’s Fun Foto challenge, I decided to go with the theme: Food. Hope you enjoy. Continue reading “Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Things that are Smooth” →
I am terrible at keeping secrets. If you tell me a secret, I will have to tell someone or I might explode. Continue reading “Secrets” →
I gotta be honest, when I saw this week’s photo challenge, I was a bit stumped because after I saw so many posting pictures of them or someone posing with statues, I knew I wouldn’t have any of those pictures lying around especially I don’t like to pose with things. After brainstorming for a few days, I finally came up with just the pictures to show.
When I took these pictures last December, I was still experimenting with the new camera. Both were taken with the Intelligent Auto setting (a what-turned-out-to-be-a useful setting). However, right before I pressed the shutter button for the first picture (the pretty one), the Intelligent Auto setting switched to Night setting and the flash was immediately turned off. I tried to snap one more (the second picture) but for some reason, the setting was reverted back to Auto. Thus, that’s the reason for the second picture.
Somethings just cannot be imitated, that includes shooting photographs.

Happy President’s Day to people in the U.S. We get an extra day for our weekend. Woo Hoo. For that reason, I am ditching this week’s Reflection over Coffee (shh, don’t tell my co-host) and let my co-host, Angela take over. I’m sure there’ll be plenty of surprises. I just hope Angela won’t mess up the stage. I wouldn’t want to return next week to a train wreck. 😉

It’s been about 10 days since my tablet broke and as of yesterday, I have had bigger problems. Continue reading “Seeking Help…” →
1. What is your favorite word?
I don’t have a specific favorite word but phrases, I have plenty, maybe too many to name. Just general praises will do like Great job! or Excellent!
2. What is your least favorite word?
Stupid and its synonyms like Idiot or Nincompoop. Such a harsh thing to call anyone. We’re all human and not perfect.
3. What turns you on creatively, spiritually or emotionally?
4. What turns you off?
There is nothing more turned off than a realist. You know when you watch a show on TV and someone comes in and scoffs, “that will never happen in real life.”
That’s why it’s called a TV show. That’s why there’s fiction and non-fiction. It’s not real! Where’s your creativity?
5. What is your favorite curse word? Damn
6. What sound or noise do you love?
Gentle summer rain or water flowing down a stream. It’s what I listen to when I need to relax or sleep. Just go on YouTube and search, it’s real peaceful.
7. What sound or noise do you hate?
There is nothing worse than planes (fighter jets and the newest F35s) zooming over my roof and babies/children’s shrilling high-pitch cries and screams. The planes are like a very loud annoying fly buzzing around and have you endure a child’s scream? You can practically feel your ear-drums shatter and mind exploding at the noise.
8. What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?
I really like to try graphic artist or a director but I think I’m partially accomplishing that right now with my comic strips.
9. What profession would you not like to do?
I don’t like to be a translator even it’s currently paying most of my bills. I hate that job. If I’m not being micro-managed by my mom, I’ll quit the job at the first chance I get. Beside that, the other profession I would not want is doctor. The education seems too hard and I’ve already wasted 7 years in college.
10. If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?
He would say, “Let’s go find you another vessel,” and I would reply, “okie doke.”
Although I believe in God, I do not believe in heaven or hell. I believe in spiritual reincarnation, that our souls will be recycled into another life.

Other than snow, I don’t have a lot of pictures that represent cold things. However, as I was scrolling through Instagram on my laptop, I came across this picture. I don’t remember taking this picture let alone posting it to Instagram because why would I take a picture of a block of ice?
In the caption, it said, “Three hours in the sun and the ice’s still there.” So I guess this proves just how cold the water is.

Happy Chinese New Year and welcome to another edition of my comic series: Reflection over Coffee. I want to thank those who have been following this series as well as welcome to new readers. I hope you enjoy this series and as always, the one with the black hair is me. Continue reading “Reflection Over Coffee #12” →
If you had a shelf for your three most special possessions (not including photos, electronic devices and things stored on them, people or animals), what would you put on it?
If you had a box labelled ‘happiness’, what would you put in it?
My notebook with a pen and my iPod, so I will have music and words with me everywhere I go.
What do you want more of in your life?
I would like more freedom and independence where I can make my own decisions without having to think of the repercussion (mom’s reaction). Like a few weeks ago, I specifically heard mom say, “I need you to go to Dollar Tree and get some trays.”
I went to Dollar Tree the next day and spent 15 minutes picking out a baking tray to my (mom)’s satisfaction but when she got home that night and asked about the bowls, I was confused. Don’t you mean trays?
It turned out she wanted me to get the large plastic bowls in which we wash the vegetables. The next day, I tried to find the receipt but it was gone. I was so afraid. She would’ve said I’m stupid or that I’m absentminded and shouted for hours and hours. Well, let’s just say I didn’t tell her of my mistake. So you see, I don’t want to spend forever to analyze her reaction in every decision. I like to just focus on making a decision for me for a change.
Daily Life List: What do you do on an average day? Make a list of your usual activities you do each day.
Well, it depends. On weekdays, I get up real early, check blog notification on my tablet, get dressed, eat breakfast, brush my teeth and wash my face, then it’s off to school. After school, sometimes I go to work for a few hours before coming home, eat dinner, watch TV, read a few blogs before showering and heading to bed.
Weekends? It depends, on weekends like this where mom is off to her monthly training and I’m alone with no means of transportation, I’ll sleep-in and just spend the day blogging and doing homework while watching a few travel and cooking show in the afternoon. It’s a weekend where everything is very simple.
On other weekends, anything can happen. Mom can be rushing me to work or taking me out somewhere.

I originally had two pictures I want to put into this post but I changed my mind. The other one looked weird and I think this picture will do all that I need even though I thought it looked less overexposed on my tablet. So this week’s topic is lines and angles.

First of all, I want to apologize for posting old pictures. Spring hasn’t come and everything is still bare. So no new flower pictures. Hopefully, when March comes, I’ll have some new pictures. Continue reading “Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Pink or Magenta Flowers” →

Winter has hit hard this year. Continue reading “Optimistic” →
What is your favorite piece of art? (it doesn’t have to be famous)
I’m don’t have a favorite individual piece of art. If I like art, I will usually like the whole genre. For example, Renaissance, Realism, etc. This sculpture is one of my favorites. It looks like two fingers crossed which means hopeful and optimistic.
What made you smile today?
Nothing yet, it’s still early, maybe when I’m done with my projects for my computer class? What made me smile yesterday, though, was that I successfully installed VirtualBox and Fedora onto my other laptop. VirtualBox is a virtual drive which allows me to run a DVD without actually using a DVD and Fedora is sort of like Linux, a lesser known operating system. This made me smile because I usually don’t have a lot of luck when it comes to installing something like a separate user interface. That’s the part that always trips me.
Which place do you recommend as a Must-See? Please state which country, state or providence.
I would recommend checking out the national parks in Southern Utah (the red rocks area). It’s absolutely amazing especially if you make the 90-minute hike to see the Delicate Arch. Unlike my mom, I want to go there again.
Complete this sentence: When I was younger I used to….
When I was younger, I used to sing and play the piano, privately, of course, when no one’s looking or listening. I have very bad stage fright, still do. Maybe one day, I will finally conquer it. Maybe…
