Lomo LCA+

Just came back from Boracay, where Kev and I took some 81 pictures using disposable cameras because his digital camera broke. Pictures came out surprisingly nice, and with a lomo feel:



I had always wanted to get a proper lomo camera and this made me want it even more. So I talked to my friend Fresco in Taiwan, and he highly recommended LCA+ which he had as well.

I thought about it for a few days and not quite sure if it was worth the price (it's about $2000+, almost as much as a low-end digital camera)... until I was forwarded the following link to someone's flickr photoset, shot with this camera (he may have added color filter though), and I immediately wanted to get one!! Check it out.

I really like lomography because it makes memories of the things you saw so much more beautiful, colorful, dreamy, not just the raw sight of things as they appeared.

Truth about Me

I'm thinking....

I'm not really ashamed to say that...

No material goods can make me feel as great as floating in the sea with the sun shining on my face...

I really would give up everything for love, true love that is...

I never really strived to be number one - always number two (less pressure/ expectations)...

I am terrible at hiding my emotions - my facial expressions always betray me...

I am full of pride and am very sensitive about being disrespected...

I can be really hot-tempered when provoked...

I am very quick to admit my faults and apologize...

I secretly enjoy bossing around...

I am extremely terrible with names...

I have a tendency to forget EVERYTHING I read, even some of my favourite books...

In past two years I started more than 8 books but didn't finish any...

I still pray that one day I would be able to fall asleep without any dreams at all...

I am such a princess when it comes to booking accommodations for trips (and I stress myself out trying to find the best value for money)...

I feel very uneasy hanging out in large groups unless they are all my closest friends...

I have not done housework for a very long time...

I secretly enjoy getting subtle attention...

I still have trouble drinking 1.5L of water a day unless it's Evian and I have dragon boat training that day...

I have a tendency to update my blog in the middle of the night when I am half asleep...
