[Project 365] Day 10: A Childhood Memory

Before I even looked up what today's photo challenge was, I had already spent time during the day to take pictures of one of my favorite activities as a child... BUBBLES! =) 

I remember I used to sit on the front porch and just blow bubbles and make up pretend stories haha. I miss those sweet days of childhood. I went to Stop and Shop and bought a big bubble wand that I played with today. Who says adults can't have fun too? (I still don't quite feel like an adult though haha).

Trying to blow as many as I can!

Bigger bubbles =)

And I also have a photo of an actual childhood memory of mine... the days when I first started with equestrian :]

I'm the one on the little pony haha

That is one activity from childhood I really miss! I started with equestrian because my childhood best friend loved horses and spread it to me. I continued taking lessons until high school, when I fell off the horse while doing some low jumps and my parents wanted me to take a break. I did it a bit in my college's equestrian club, but I never had time because of my other obligations. I'm hoping to find time again when I go back to at least do a couple of more lessons before I graduate.

[Project 365] Day 08: A Bad Habit

As my parents would gladly say, I definitely have my fair share of bad habits. I don't eat many vegetables, I have a poor appetite, I drink lots of Coca-Cola...

But I have to say, these days, I think my biggest bad habit is my sleeping schedule. I sleep late, and it takes me FOREVER to wake up. On the days when I don't have to get up for work, sometimes it takes me until 1 PM to get out of bed. I don't mind sleeping in occasionally, but it really does feel like a waste of a day when I wake up late lols.

[Project 365] Day 03: Clouds

There weren't really clouds in the sky today :( So I tried to go through taking a picture of the sky with the trees and sun and some bit of clouds in the sky.

Photoshoot in the Park

Today I saw some more lovely friends from home :) Got some yummy sushi at a place I never been to before. I always like trying out new restaurants and finding out new places to eat, and sushi is like my favorite food in the world, so it's even better to have found another place to eat it (and luckily it wasn't too expensive!)

Afterwards, after some driving around, I ended up at the park with my friends Robbie and Amelia. Robbie and I were taking some photos with our DSLRs. Sadly, it was SO HOT outside and I am not a good enough driver to take us to anywhere nicer... but I still got some shots I liked haha. While we talked about life, I was also snapping away. 








It was a good day :) I really want to practice taking more portrait and nature shots. My creativity is quite lacking. But it's fun to learn :D

[Project 365] Day 02: What I Wore Today


Pretty simple. I didn't have much time today because I got back really late, so I just took a quick picture of my outfit. I volunteered today, so I wore some more business-y clothes... I have been helping out at the Business office for a non-profit organization. So I feel that it's appropriate to wear more business casual attire, even if they didn't tell me to and if some people wear jeans. Clothes show respect in many ways too.

It's been a pretty interesting experience so far. I never worked for a non-profit organization, and I think the atmosphere is pretty nice. All the people are really understanding and open, and I think it's admirable the causes they work for. I just don't know if I could ever see myself doing that full-time, but I think I definitely want to help out with organizations even if it's not part of my job.

However...waking up at 7 AM is the worst. I don't know how I'm going to survive the real world!

30 Day Challenge

I AM GOING TO START MY PROJECT 365 AGAIN. No more being a lazy bum.
But I feel like one of the problems was that once I left London (when I did it last year), I ran out of ideas on what to take pictures of. My creative inspirations have been quite lacking in that regard.

[Project 365] Day 4: always prepared

Mmmm guards. Apparently, you can't stand with them to take a picture...have to be at least 5 feet away.

Next goal: to take a picture with them in the picture 5 feet away! haha
