with the heart

it's coming. a huge wave of responsibilities and events and assignments and work and just...things.
but really how come all this stuff comes up and now i dont' know where to start and even where i'm supposed to finish.


"Here's my secret. It's quite simple: one sees clearly only with the heart. Anything essential is invisible to the eyes." (The Little Prince, p 63)


i'm trying to follow my heart and do the things i know i'm supposed to be doing. then i know i'll end up in a good place. because what i can see right now is not the complete picture. there's more out there for me.

Out My Window

I took a sweet nap in the late afternoon and woke up gazing right out my window to catch the sunset.

























"You know, when you're feeling very sad, sunsets are wonderful..." [said the Little Prince, p. 19]

Today and everyday is not just another day!

So a little while ago I started reading up on articles about "Today in History". Because so much has happened. And every day is special. Every day has a huge significance whether we know it or not.

For example, YESTERDAY...
AUG 4, 1944: Anne Frank, 15, was arrested along with her sister, parents and four other people, after they had spent two years hiding from the Nazis in a building in Amsterdam. Her diary became a famous account of the Holocaust.

Wow...there seems to be something monumental and important on every single day. (Not only is it another day we live and experience something new and old, but think about everything in the world that has happened and is happening!!) Just something to think about.

so....TODAY!!!!
(Kinda another sad event)
AUG 5, 1962 Actress Marilyn Monroe was found dead in her Los Angeles home at age 36. Her death was ruled a probable suicide from an overdose of sleeping pills.

So in honor of her death, I have made a masterpiece unlike any other..................

Ok, so really it was me and my niece wasting a lot of time but having a lot of fun in our tribute to marilyn monroe, photoshop coloring our picture...i do want blue hair though. And yes, we are Monroes.


Lots of other things happened on this day today...
Find out! And lemme know!

film is funn

oookkkkkkkk! so my uncle gave me an old camera of his. it's a minolta 7000 maxxum i think 1985 i'm not sure. but anyways it's just so awesome. i went out with my friend carla and we had a photoshoot day - just like the old days with berni, ryan, and sara! :D (miss you guys!)
you can just tell how horrible my scanner is, because the color didn't come out so well. BUT--I LOVE IT. because it looks vintage and cool.

ok so this is in haleiwa. it was another great sunset. but when i first set foot on the beach, it was like i hadn't seen the water in years. it was glimmering all sorts of colors and it was so calm that it looked like i could just glide right on top of it.

hey, kaihe and karlee, do you remember this spot? :D i love the bench.

this is some tree at sunset beach. one thing i had to try and get used to was the fact that you can't just "preview" film photos right after the shot. so i wasn't sure how these would turn out, but i love the macro shots.

another at sunset beach. the light was great for these shots!

haha carla! this is what we did...all afternoon.

aww. it's carla again. cute silhouette shot in haleiwa.
