Test Roll Numero Dos

After the under-/over-exposed test roll, I managed to burn through a new roll over the weekend and had it developed immediately.  Thankfully all twenty-four exposures came out great.  Great, being very subjective of course.

Reading List: 23.08.10

I have quite a few for this week that would make your eyeballs clap with glee. Read on.

  • Poem-to-go?  NYC seems like just the place for this kind of thing.  Last time I had mine made (not in New York but here in Singapore) was two years ago from The Proletariat Poetry Factory.
  • If you’re a Mac user like me, then you’ll definitely like this collection of productivity and office software for Mac.
  • One of my plans post-university was to go to graduate school but now I realize that it’s best to channel that energy into getting experience from working instead.  What do you think?  Is higher education really overrated?
  • I’ve come to know that there is no best job in the world.  There is, however, a best “job” for each one of us depending on our passion.  Making it a higher priority is, well, our top most priority.
  • Have you got your booty read yet?  Old Navy has a Booty Reader!  I’m not sure about the accuracy but it does provide a few minutes of entertainment.
  • I think I’ve said this too many times but I’ll say this again, I put the pro in procrastinator.  I’m not particularly proud of it, I know I can get off my ass when I really need to, but this timeboxing thing sure is something I’d like to try sometime especially if I need that extra push of productivity.
  • We’ve all got bad days but you know what they say about ending on a good note?  It does work.
  • What do you think is the barrier to creativity?  If there is anything that can free our minds to the possibilities, it’s the right kind of ignorance.
  • One of my guilty pleasures is trailing through lookbook.nu  I like this one particularly because her outfit is nothing like what most people wear these days.  It’s simple, wearable, and I love the title.
  • This one has definitely made its rounds over the weekend.  Frank Chimero gives advice to a graphic design student.  But there are good stuff in it for non-graphic design people too.
  • The world is made up of ideas.  Maybe in between subatomic particles are ideas but who knows! Ideas, if not love, probably make the world go round.  So hey, let’s start with an idea.
  • Speaking of ideas, Sharpie has one!  They have a new something that allows us to write with ink.  The brilliant thing about it is that you can erase it within three days but after which it becomes permanent.  Definitely an indecisive person’s best friend, no?

The Week That Was: 22.08.10

Suzi Says Feng Shui
This OPI nail color is named Suzi Says Feng Shui. Perhaps in its past life it read Suzi Says Fire Exit Stair Rails

Fullerton Hotel
Found out that the Fullerton Hotel was once the post office. If all post offices were as grand we probably would have sent more snail mail.

all red cars in a row
This parking space seems to be available for red cars only.

Baybeats 2010
Had an unplanned trip to see what’s going on at Baybeats this year. It made me miss the Philippine music scene…

Lomography color negative film 800 ISO
My test roll on the Nikon EM was a pity. Not to worry!  I just burned through another roll of film to see if I can improve on the shots.  Plus I bought these three new ones for good measure. Now I have six rolls of unused film sitting on my shelf. Let’s do a photowalk!

I hope your week was more interesting than mine!
