Jungle Photoshoot

Hello lovelies!

Two weeks ago, I was invited by my colleague to be a "model" for an informal photoshoot. It was a random group of people who share interest in photography. I was unsure at first, but thought it was no harm to give it a try. The people were unexpectedly nice and friendly, although there was a little language barrier (me no speak Chinese lol), it was a good experience! It was my very first time doing a freestyle outdoor photoshoot, since all I've done before was family studio pictures and cheesy photobooths.

Here are some of the shots which I think I look decent enough :D

I'm not so much of an outdoor/nature lover, so I'm quite proud of myself to hang in the jungle with shorts haha!

I kept turning around at this shot because there were squirrels at the back!! Too bad the camera didn't catch them.

It was actually a bad hair day for me. My curls were limp, my hair section was messy and the wind was not helping.

This gives me an impression of a Hongkong drama (though I never watched one lol).

Top: Forever 21

Denim overalls: New Look

High top sneakers: Pull & Bear

Watch: ASOS

Isn't it beautiful? The place was actually a reservoir and there were many students having canoeing practice. Further down was one of the national parks where people go jogging and stuff, which looks exactly like a wild jungle to me :D Overall I had fun and hopefully I can do this again in the future! :)

Have a great weekend!

Dear 2011 (TT #28)

On the 31st of December 2010...

It's 2011! Can you believe it?
Time flies super fast and before we know it a year has gone by.

I chose this song for the first Tuneful Tuesday in this brand new year because it's got good encouraging lyrics as a motivation to start off everything. Enjoy :)

2010 had been an interesting year for me. I met new people, made new friends, gained new experiences, and challenged myself to new problems. Despite the new stuff I have encountered, I also experienced stuff that is related to the past. I found my ex-crush on facebook, met up with my bestfriend in 3rd grade that I had lost contact for 10 years, got reconnected with my North Korean soulmate, and reunited with some of my highschool friends. I can say that it was a good year, though there were few moments that I don't want to happen for the second time, like losing a family member and realizing that a person that you used to love has become a complete different person.

My resolutions for this year:

- to manage my time better.
- trying to be more patient and not to think so much about matters that are not worth the time.
- to love myself more and be more grateful of what I already have.
- to try my best to understand people with different personalities and attitudes that conflict with mine.
- to play more the electone.
- to read more books.
- to gain more new experiences and accomplish things that make me feel good.
- to respect my parents more and be closer to family and God.

In short, I want to be a better person for others and myself :)
How about you??

On the first day of 2011, I visited my aunt's house. It was really a quiet neighborhood and since my brother and I were being obnoxious, some neighbors peeked outside from their fences LOL.

This cat was a total poser! Camerawhore :p

I hope all of you have a wonderful year ahead!

Christmas recap 2010 and Happy New Year 2011!

24122010358m How was your Christmas?? I hope it was good because mine was great!

165028_501831523256_576513256_5765596_590525_n1 I had an early Christmas celebration with my college buddies a week before Christmas. It was pretty fun :)

We exchanged presents and I got this cute table lamp which is also a piggy bank. It’s really what I need for my room! Haha.

Afterwards we played 3D puzzle and Monopoly for hours!

I went back to my hometown few days before Christmas and celebrated Christmas at home after twice having Christmas in hotels without a Christmas tree.

Nothing can beat Christmas dinner at home :)

I got a few stares at church when I wore this outfit on Christmas Eve. What’s wrong with red tights? It was Christmas!

Opening up presents on Christmas morning! I know my house is kind of a mess :p My presents!! A Body Shop set from brother, a rosary bracelet from mom and CDs from dad. Super stoked when I saw the CDs coz I had been waiting for pretty long :DAfter opening our lovely presents we headed for lunch and bowling!

At night we had a big family gathering where relatives from my dad’s side came over to my house. It was fun, but at the same time I couldn’t stop thinking that it was our first Christmas without my grandpa.

The next day, there was another big family gathering, but this time was my mom’s family! Yeah I have HUGE family haha.

My family is really using this holiday as a chance to spend a quality time together because we don’t meet that often, especially my brother and I. So the next day, we drove away to a highland and stayed over for a night. 27122010468m

It was colder than I thought! I had to put on my tights at night because it was so windy!

We played pool and went shopping at this factory outlet that sells branded stuff with very good deals! We shopped a lot, especially me heehee.

Good times! But I don’t think my New Year will be as good.It’s because I just got my wisdom tooth taken out yesterday. The operation went smoothly but now half of my face is swollen and it’s killing me! It looks like I got punched on my face real hard. My bro keeps laughing at me –.-

So I can’t really go out anywhere with this meatball face and I only can eat soft food like porridge. Aghhhh!! So yeah, no parties, just staying at home. The BBQ dinner that I was planning even has to be cancelled :/

I’m sure most of you are gonna party real hard tonight. So have fun and be safe! ;)

Happy New Year!!

xo, Jo
