my mother could be the mafia

So I was looking for nail clippers the other and I asked my mom...

Me: Mother, where are the nail clippers in this house?
Mom: I have them here. (picks up a ziplock bag full of shiny metal objects and hands it to me). Take your pick.

Is this trippy or what!?!

They look like torture devices. I'm betting she had these since... the 80s probably. I just had to take pictures.

Man, this family is weird....

the weekend in photos: behind closed doors

more after the jump!

weekend loot: "for the love of sarah" edition

I can't believe he talked me into walking/finding Johnny Air in Makati. I think it was more or less (probably more) 10 blocks from our office and he decided that we should walk there from work. Good thing it wasn't hot and the sun was a bit friendly that day so I said let's go and off we went on our little adventure.

The boyfriend purchased these 7 inch goodness from ebay a few months ago. We picked up his loot last Saturday.

It was nice to see him all smiley and excited with his loot. Haha! I mean, cmon, he just got his Field Mice and Northern Picture Library vinyls!! 

It was worth the walk, I realized. We stayed at home that weekend and just listened to these all day. 

Aaaaaaaaand that's just half of it. ;)
Stay tuned for weekend loot part 2: for the love of moz edition!

for the photoshop challenged... like me! haha!

I never seem to master that particular program. Tsk... So I was browsing through the interwebs, looking for something worth your while to read, when I remembered this awesomesaue tutorial about simple photo editing. It's for Etsy product shots but it will do in any photographs, I guess.

Here are my sample pictures using the same technique:

I can't wait!!!! I've been driving everyone (or at least everyone I know who knows lomography and/or film photography) crazy with my crazy/seriously elated smile for the past few days. Thanks guys... I know you're humoring me and sorry but I just can't be not excited about this. Ok I'll shut up... for now. :D

Have you seen Elsie Flannigan's new Spring Dress Line??
