Love You Like a Love Song, Baby!

Few more photos from my shoot with my model friend, Yaniee, and balikbayan, Jenny. I felt in love with Selena G's new song and I was basically listening to it on loop while editing the photos. Went a little playful here. so this is an attack of textures! :)

Happy Birthday to Me!

personal

I just turned 23 last Saturday!!! Yes I'm that old! People would still think I'm 15 or worse, 12 but that's a good thing than be perceived being older than your actual age :) Jenny and Yaniee took these photos during our mini photoshoot. I asked them to take photos of me (how ambitious am I thinking I'm photogenic though I'm not) because I don't have a lot of pictures as I'm always the one taking them. Thinking that I deserve a treat from all these sick nights I've endured since my birthday, I thought of posting some of the photos here :)

Now who wants free PSD's???

The Beautiful Art of Procrastination

portraits

My dear friend Jenny was home for a week from the UK so we scheduled a mini shoot with Yaniee! These are all whimsical ideas and I'm so glad that we've done around three sets that day! This is an ode to those who live to procrastinate. If you can finish it tomorrow, why finish it now? :)) Not saying that procrastinating is a good habit but...

I'm giving away a PSD for my birthday give-away. I'll be having around 2 or 3 more PSD to give next week.

Download it here.

App Review: WeicoGIF

reviews

While browsing for new photography apps this afternoon, I got curious with WeicoGIF. The descriptions were in Chinese characters and I had a few Chinese photography apps before that were really, really good so I tried it. Also, it was for free!!!

So what's in the app? When you open it, it shows a large live view of the camera. You can switch between your front and back camera (for iPhone4 and iPod4G)

So what's with the app? (click photos for bigger resolution)

When you open it, it shows a huge live view of the photo/video. You can switch between your front and back camera. There are two options on how to take the base photos: the video mode, which basically just takes a set of 20 photos in an interval; and the photo mode where you get to take the photos individually.

<--- When you're done, it will take you to this part where you get to choose the photo effect. There are about 15 choices and I'm pretty impressed with the filters! they're actually good unlike that of other apps that are totally rubbish.

When you've picked your filter, have the app render the style to all the photos that will make up the gif.

Then you'll get to choose the speed of the GIF, the loop if it will start with point A and end with point B or the other way around.

<-- Render then...

...choose how you're going to transfer your GIF. You won't be able to save it to your album because your phone/iPod won't save it GIF form and you won't be able preview it anyway, so what's the point? :) I always send mine to my e-mail because I'm too lazy to open up iTunes :D

Here are some of the GIF that I made using the app:

Overall, I really, really, really loooooooove the app! I wish the files are more lighter though so I can post them on my tumblr but whatever, this is [so far] the best GIF app I've seen in the App Store!!!

Paisley!

personal

Freeeee day! Spent it watching movies with the boyfriend :) He and his brother went out to run errands and I was watching Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen went they were back. Surprisingly, they joined me until the movie was finished. oh hello, young Megan Fox! We then watched The Devil Wears Prada and about 1/8th of Julie and Julia (I just wanted to show CJ how Miranda and Nigel in TDWP ended up as husband-and-wife in J&J). A friend came by and the boys had their inuman session and I was left with nothing but to play Sims Social on Facebook. Just done finalizing my procedure form for my IV Therapy Training -and the boys are still drinking - so I doodled on my hand again. I love paisleys!

dirty fat dog. curious as always.

also, my laptop is slowing dying. The adapter got busted and it is now wrapped in packing tape just to support it temporarily :|

I hate this day. Prioritized things that I shouldn't be bothering and I had to postpone a shoot for the 3rd time :| Not sure if this is because I'm getting anxious with my IV Therapy completion duty this Wednesday (will prick veins the whole day) or that my body is still too tired since I was up for 30 hours yesterday. I wasn't even feeling a bit sleepy but I had to force my self to sleep. To those who are having the same sleeping problem, close your eyes and try to keep yourself awake. Not sure how the body takes it but it is super effective! I dozed off in less than 30 minutes.
