We made it to Panama around 3pm this afternoon. That's the view from the condo we're staying at. I have more pictures but I'm tired and will post those another day. :D

Hope everyone had a great Fourth of July! I'll be around but unfortunately cell service is damn near non-existent with my phone so I can't twitter update as much as I want to. XD

Anyway, I hope you dears have a good week. ♥

( All these years we never get it right. )

Until next time, whenever that may be. ♥

So I went to New Orleans today with Robert and Alana. It was a lot of fun. I only took my film cameras with me so I don't have any pictures just yet. It was ridiculously hot but we were there for at least 5 hours or so. We had a good time and I'm glad that Alana did too. She's Robert's friend from California who is actually from Hawaii. There were a lot of people in the city despite the heat but I guess it's not surprising. This is tourist season but it wasn't too bad. I'm home now and ridiculously tired. I just need to get to bed as it's nearly 10 pm.

Saw Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen this past Wednesday. It was awesome. I recommend everyone go see it if they haven't. I'm excited for Harry Potter soon too! I plan on going to the midnight showing. Then hopefully going see it with my lovely hp_la girls who I miss dearly. ♥

And July 4 and vacation coming up this weekend. I'll be gone from the 5th to the 12th. I'm bringing my netbook with me so I'll still have internet because I can't live without it. I'm just ready for a vacation. No work for a whole week and playing on the beach and taking pictures and just being away from it all. Mmm. I need this. I really do.


I think I'm going to go to bed soon, so goodnight. ♥

I have 3 Dreamwidth invite codes up for grabs.

Leave me your email or email me at photo.graphic.nerd at gmail dot com and I'll send you one.

All gone~ :)





And I swear I'm going to update soon. Robert's on his way home (or home already possibly) so maybe we'll hang out and I have film developed that I need to post too.

But now I must go to bed because I have work in the morning. ♥

( Voice Post )



I promise I'll have a real update sometime soon, but while you wait you can listen to this beautiful voice. ♥

It's been three weeks since my last update. That's not something that I've ever done before I don't think. :/ Usually it's like a week or two at the most.

I just have absolutely nothing going on. I'm home and at work and doing it all over again the next time. That's about all my life consists of at the moment. Nothing fun or even mildly interesting has been happening. It's a shame really because I wish there was, but I either have no desire to do anything, am tired, or just have no one to go do things with (and the fact that there isn't anything to do around here doesn't help).

I hate working. I hate that it makes me miss out on so many opportunities but if it weren't for working, I wouldn't be able to afford to do any of it anyway. There's no balance and it annoys me so much. Whatever though. I just hope that I can manage to save up enough money to go do something that I really want to do. Seeing as my mom isn't willing to help me out when it comes to traveling anywhere. At least every time I talk to her it's a different answer. I hate it when parents tell you if you need anything let them know. Then they'll say it's okay the first time, but the next time you ask them they aren't for it at all.


Anyway, I ordered some food and stuff from KOA Mart a few weeks ago:



I ate the 떡볶이 (ddokbokki) spicy chewy rice cakes, the 자짱면 (jajjangmyeon) black bean ramyun, some of the 버터링 (butter ring) butter flavoured cookies, and the 빼빼로 pepero (like pocky). I'm sending the rest of it to a friend of mine in England. XD I also got some nice chopsticks from them and still have about 3-4 bags of ramyun left to eat over time. Lol.

My mom signed me up for the gym but I have yet to go. It's been like two weeks already. :x I wish we had stuff at home to work out on though. I am so paranoid and self-conscience to go work out at the gym even though I KNOW that no one will even give me a second glance or care. But I seriously need to start doing something. I've gained so much weight back since I lost nearly 30lbs and I kind of hate myself a lot for it.

Oh, we might be going to Panama for a week in July. It would be July 6-13. I don't know if that's going to happen because all the condos they have are all rented. I told mom to make sure she gets one with internet because I will probably die if not. I'll probably end up being so bored if I'm not on the beach or anything. IDK. I want to go but I don't want to be miserable if I do.

Okay so it's taken me like forever to type up this post and there isn't anything in it. WTH. I'll be off now to go do something nonproductive I'm sure.

Oh, I also have one Dreamwidth code up for grabs. If you want it leave your email and I'll send it to you asap. ♥

Okay so I've been wanting a new domain for the last couple of years. I've had http://silver-starr.net for a long time (yeah, I haven't updated it in ages) and while I still like the domain I wanted to get a new one to eventually set up an art / photography site. I've never been fond of YOURNAMEHEREPHOTOGRAPHY.COM so I doubt that I'll be going that route. Unless of course I get some sort of alias. Lol.

None of these seem to be registered already:

moderntake.net     GOT IT


modern-take.net
visualhint.net (there's a .com for this already)
visual-hint.net
melodicimpression.net
melodic-impression.net

With and without hyphens to see which version is more visually pleasing. Lol.

I can do this for years and finally give up and just not worry about it. But I want to get one and find a new host for my existing domain. While I like the host I have, I pay $7 for 400MB and ~12GB bandwidth a month. That amount of space is not feasible if I wanted to start a photography website. I can get 500GB with unmetered bandwidth for the same price. So IDK. It's just annoying.

Ugh. IDK. Help me decide, give advice, something please. *gives everyone puppy eyes* XD ♥

simplify

After a few technical errors, I got my account. If you have one add me and I'll add you back. I'm still searching around looking for layouts and other shiny things to do to it. XD I'll still be posting here, I just had to have one. I really don't know how I'm going to use it at the moment. Hmm. Will think more on that later.




I want to see the new Wolverine movie but I have to work an 11 hour shift tomorrow. :/ I'm not very happy about it but there isn't anything I can do about it. But it means that I have a free weekend. So maybe I can go find something to do. Hmph.

I miss sj-world.net already! Ugh. Stupid hosts. They seriously are worthless. Don't ever register or host a domain with 1and1.com. They suck and their technical help is not helpful at all. D:

Anyway, I'm going get ready for bed soon. ♥

Daily

I'm getting so sick of this monotonous life.



I hate my profile; my nose is so huge. ♥

( + )



I feel very cut off from everything recently. I hate feeling like this but it's somewhat my fault for not taking the time out to connect and put myself out there to be a better friend. I miss you all so much and I wish that I had more to say, but at this time I truly don't.


So I went to the dermatologist last week and had in office destruction done. Lol. It's such a weird term. The treatment I'm doing for my face though, I hate it. It's making my skin peel in a very unattractive manner. It's even worse when I put my make-up on because it just makes the skin even more noticeable. Ugh. I just hope that I only have to do this once and not continue it on in a few weeks' time. I guess it just depends on what the reaction is to the medication that's going to determine how long I end up having to do this. But when everything is all cleared up, I'm going back to have laser hair removal. It's something I've wanted for a very long time and I think it'll help with my confidence level. (I should be embarrassed talking about this in an unlocked entry, but I'm not.) I just want to better myself in some way and I'm hoping it will help in motivating me to be more social.

My mom keeps telling me I need to go back to school. I want to tell her I don't want to so badly instead of just saying that I will eventually. Though I feel kind of bereft not being in school and I miss everyone some terrible, I just don't feel like it's right for me anymore. Now that leaves me wondering what the hell I'm going to do with myself and what sort of job I can end up with not having gone to college in this day and age. I honestly don't know. I just don't have it in me anymore to care about school. I don't want to waste my time taking the same general classes that I've been through my entire school career. Who gives a shit about a well-rounded education. The only thing I'll be worrying about is the technical aspects of whatever my eventual career will be anyway. I just don't know what I want anymore, because I want so many things but I know that only a handful of them are actually logical. The rest is fantasy that will most likely never happen.

I didn't really have a point to this post, I just needed to let some of that out.

Oh and we're not going on vacation after all. Robert's off-shore schedule is too conflicting with the time frame we have to work with so we're just not going to go at this time. That gives me no hope in actually going on vacation at all now. Regardless of what my mom says about us trying to go during the summer, I've heard it too many times. I'll just keep saving up to go out of the country and not worry about that.

I hope you all are doing well. I'll try to catch up on my friend's list tonight or this week at least. ♥

AT WORK LAST WEEK HAHAHA.

I heart webcams.


So I haven't posted in forever. Mostly because there's not much to post about. :/ I've been modding at SJ-World.net and that's taking up a good chunk of my time. Work has been a lot busier than normal so I don't have nearly as much time to play around online. I haven't had time to read at work either. I'm stuck about 100 pages in to Anasi Boys and haven't been able to get any further because I don't have 5 minutes to sit down and read the book. D: I could probably read it at home but I get distracted easily.

You can read what else has been going on under the cut since it includes photos. ( New Orleans trip plus random other RL stuff. )

See what I mean about not much has been going on? The weather has been really nice though. I'm hoping we'll go fishing soon. And as soon as my mom knows Robert's schedule we're most likely going to Tennessee for Easter weekend. It'll be nice despite the 14+ hour drive because I've never been to the mountains.

I also may not be moving to California come this August. With the economy being so bad right now finding a job and being able to afford living there isn't look very good right now. Robert is going back to school but if he can't find a job he'll probably be moving back home. I still don't know what I want to do with myself and my mom keeps nagging me about needing to go back to school. The more she persists though the less and less I want to go back. I just wish I could care about it again, but honestly, I really just don't.

I'm going to the dermatologist for the first time Wednesday. We're going to see what can be done about my face, because I'd like it to look nice again. Lol. I'll go into more detail at a later date.


I know, random livejournal post is random. :) I hope you guys enjoy the rest of your weekend. ♥

On one hand I'd love for it to rain today so I'm perhaps not too busy but on the other hand, if it does rain I won't want to go do anything once I get off of work. Hmm. Dilemmas. :/




So how has my lovely flist been doing? I've seen a few posts here and there but haven't had the chance to comment. I'll try to do that at work today if I have a moment. (I know I've been posting retarded fangirl posts these last few days too but I'll try to cut back on that. Haha.)



I need to go get ready for work now. ♥

Sunny picspam!





( Some pictures under here. )



Got nothing done today. Haha. I'll go to Walmart and Best Buy tomorrow. :/ And I can't believe it's nearly 6 6:40 pm already! Stupid DST, you screw up my internal clock. :|||

Btw, 쏘리쏘리 is kind of rocking my world right now. ♥


Stupid eljay. D:

OMG THIS.



( + )


It makes me want to curse lack of time, money, and parents for not letting me go to this concert. WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE. So beautiful and the last stop.

Here's to SECOND TOUR AFTER THIRD ALBUM. PLEASE PLEASE OMG.



Apologies to my flist who aren't concerned with Super Junior and/or my Korean obsession. It's kind of taken over my life these last few days what with their THIRD ALBUM being released in 4 DAYS OMG. Their teaser, dance practice, and the opening of sj-world.net, plus Chengdu last stop for Super Show yesterday. I've been somewhat occupied.

Today's mom's birthday: 생일 축하합니다, 어머님. ♥ She's turning 42 and we have a cake and everything. Lol. We're going out to dinner tonight and I told her that I have to be home by 10 am Korean time and she just gave me this "omg what are you talking about you crazy girl" look. Hahah. SHE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND. DDDD:

Work is really really busy right now. I worked a double Friday and I had like 22 people come in and didn't get to rest for more than like 5 minutes during that time. The last hour no one called or came in thankfully so I got to finish up my laundry and get out of there only to come home and spazz a bit with pittari on MSN before going to bed. D:

To kyurella and geeitseunmi, welcome to the retardedness that is my journal. Not all of my posts are of this nature, but recently and in the next week with 3집 coming out, you'll see a lot of this. Also, I have a major bias towards Kyuhyun so just be warned. Hahaha.


Okay, so I guess I'll go finish saving pictures and washing clothes so I can be ready for tonight. ♥!

1. I ordered the netbook and a case. This and this to be precise. They should be in by Monday.
   
2. Got my package from DVD Heaven in. They tried to leave it last Wednesday but I guess no one was home to sign for it. Damn registered international mail. (Pictures further down.)
   
3. Did not go to a single Mardi Gras parade and I could care less. Hmm.
   
4. I had to pick mom up after the parade Monday at like 12:30. It lasted so late, I was surprised.
   
5. Thought I was going to have to bring mom to the hospital yesterday, but thankfully her ailment cleared up.
   
6. Tried to straighten up a bit in my room but it really didn't make any difference.
   
7. Boys Over Flowers and Supernatural have officially taken over my life.
   
8. I can't wait for Super Junior's 3집 to go on pre-order! Ugh, March, hurry up and get here.
   

Other stuff includes a meme I've been wanting to do for a long while. ( It's all in pictures. )


I seriously seriously want to go out of the country in the next 6 months. Ideally I'd like to go to South Korea, but IDK what I'd do once I got there. (I mean, I know what there is to do but yeah...) Lol. I need someone to go with me who would appreciate the trip. I know some people over there through cyworld who speak a bit of English but they're all in school. I'm just generally clueless about the whole thing to be honest.

IDK. Back to work tomorrow though. Lovely. ♥

( Bigger. )



I need to get so much stuff done and I just don't feel like it. Today is an extension of yesterday, just a day to laze around. La. ♥

I'm kind of in love with this song right now. ♥ Music is salvation to me.


The moon and sky the other night were absolutely beautiful. It's a shame pictures can't always do justice what your eyes are capable of seeing.



( Bigger + one. )



I haven't updated in a while and I also haven't been commenting like I usually do. I don't know what it is, I just don't have the energy to do so right now. I have been reading, I just don't always have something to contribute so I'd rather not instead of pulling something out of my ass just for the sake of commenting.


A quick breakdown of what's been happening in my life:

1. Work. Been working a bit more than usual because one of the girls I work with got in a wreck and had to stay home for a week to recuperate.
   
2. Kim kimberly_elf sent me a care package full of the Supernatural seasons 1-3 and some goodies which have been consuming my time.
   
3. Got my first speeding ticket ever. I have to shell out a good $200 so it doesn't go on my record. :/
   
4. Parades are starting this weekend and I have no desire to get stuck in the middle of them.
   
5. Been reading. I think I've read at least 9 books in the last 3 months, which is a huge leap considering the less than 1 I would read per year.
   
6. Brought my car to the shop and they replaced the master cylinder, fixed the rattle and squeak, and now I don't have to worry about my breaks possibly giving out on me anymore.
   
7. Lost 3lbs. This is a happy.
   
8. Bought nearly $150 worth of film and plan on using it soon. I need a photo adventure like whoa.
   
9. I really want to upgrade to a 50D, but spending nearly $1500 is not very appealing (I got an $1800 Best Buy credit card oh why).
   
10. I'm going to get myself into credit card debt, I can see it. D:
    
11. I want to go hiking really bad but the weather is sucky. (Rain + hiking do not go together.)
    
12. Computer is still being a bitch.
    
13. I feel so out of touch with everyone and I hate it.

Hmm. I think that about covers it.


Also, jadarene I got your card, bb. Thank you so much. ♥

I wish I would have thought about Valentine's cards but alas I try my best to ignore its existence.

This picture has also made my day. Kyuhyun looks so so good in blue. ♥
