Star-Box-Heart

Thanks to boredom, an addition to my camera accessories was created. I got the idea from this site: http://www.diyphotography.net/diy_create_your_own_bokeh

I changed the design a bit because I want to use different shapes without doing several cardboard hoods. So, I made a slot in front where I can slide a card with the shape cut-out. Thus, mine looked like this:

I am not really good with crafts like this so it didn't turn out to be a neat work. Anyway, as long as it functions properly, I'm happy with it. I made rectangular-, star- and heart-shaped cut-outs for my customized bokeh, and I tried it by using a flashlight as my light source.

(The photo in the first column is taken without the cardboard hood.)

Come nighttime, I tried my cardboard hood outside and took pictures of the surrounding lights. I'm looking forward to trying it out again tomorrow.

(It was a starry night, then I turned it into a hearty one. Haha.)

A random day

Sembreak is finally here!

My typical day would consist of food, computer, TV, computer, food, more food and sleep. After this break, I'm definite that I would gain something I don't want. 

Today, I bought some stuff at the supermarket and, afterwards, treated myself for some choco-banana shake. When I was about to drive home, I noticed this and I couldn't help but take a picture using my phone (which explains the low-res photo):

I read 7777 km from my odometer. Then, I made a wish. :) Yes, I am that type of person who says a wish whenever I see the clock turning 12:00 midnight or whenever I see 11:11 from a digital clock. Random weird stuff I did since I was child, and reminds me every now and then that I am still a child at heart. 

When I got home, I drank my choco-banana shake until I could no longer sip any. But, I knew something's still there, so I opened the lid, and look what I found:

A chunk of banana! No wonder I couldn't sip it. Well, so much for blended drinks. I enjoyed it nonetheless.

Anyway, I'm conditioning myself now to start studying for my thesis. I hope I'll be able to start soon.

A Candle in the Dark

Thank you for being my source of light when everything else is dark and blurry. Thank you for lighting my way when I don't know where to go. Thank you for giving me courage when I'm so scared of what I couldn't see. Thank you for being there when no one else is. And, after all you've given me, I'm really sorry for being so selfish.

As a side note, I took this photo last night when the electricity was cut due to the typhoon. I was so bored that I took my camera and started taking pictures in the dark. I didn't use the camera flash because I was scared that I may photograph something scary. Haha.
