Year: 2007

Since the last time I posted, I have: given in to the temptation and bought a Hasselblad 500C/M camera outfit a.k.a. the Hasselblad 500 Classic off eBay. bought various accessories for the said Hasselblad even though I hadn’t had the camera in hand. ventured the foreign world of video-gaming in order to give Troy a…… Continue reading Days Gone By

Since the last time I posted, I have: got a new scanner (Epson Perfection 4490); finally received my Diana+ camera (never received the pick-up notice because it was delivered to someone else’s house but we went to the post office and I showed my ID and they gave me my package); shot one roll of…… Continue reading Busy Bee?

Last Saturday, Troy, our friend Joe and I went to a meet and greet event with Canadian director Bruce McDonald at the Princess Cinema cafe prior to seeing his latest offering called The Tracey Fragments. I wouldn’t call myself a fan of Bruce McDonald, having only seen one of his movies thus far, but Troy…… Continue reading Refragmenting Fragments

Last night I borrowed Troy’s credit card and set up an Etsy shop. I want to sell prints for starters and after that, who knows. Maybe some cards. Maybe even some silly sock dolls. I like making sock dolls. If you’ve been to our place, you must’ve seen my crazy creations, all hand-sewn, meaning messy…… Continue reading Setting Up Shop

It’s the catchiest French song I know after Frère Jacques and it’s been stuck in my head all day. Aux Champs-Elysées,…… Continue reading Aux Champs-Elysées!

I do keep getting tempted to pick up one of my TLR cameras, but I guess the temptation is not really that great because I never actually did. In addition to the boatload of…… Continue reading I’m a Film Hoarder

I’m so in love with my avocado tree, which is not quite a tree yet since it’s only about 8 cm tall, but it’s thriving to be a tree. It’s growing about half a centimeter a day. If you’ve ever grown an avocado tree from a seed before, you’ll know how fascinating this stage is.…… Continue reading Grow, Avocado, Grow!

When we were kids, our parents used to take my brothers and I to a book store once a month, on the 5th. They would give each of us Rp. 2,500 to spend on books. We had so many books that we used to lend them to people in our neighbourhood for a small amount…… Continue reading Good Reads
