Springtime Journey

One sunny day I decided to take a break from my never ending homework and go explore the city through my lens.
It was a lot of fun taking new routs that I hadn't walked down before and seeing things that I didn't know existed. Except for the creepy toothless man that bluntly asked if he could have sex with me....that I could have done without.
Now I just need to do this again with my college friends (to prove that I have some.) I miss taking my camera on outings with friends!

Backwards attire.

On the left is what I wore to go out shopping/lunch. The right is how dressed up I got to stay in my apartment and do homework alone. 

Yeah, I don't get me either. 

Secret Urban Garden

Last Sunday was my last day of break, and I wanted to spend it doing absolutely nothing. And I did most of the day! But at one point I wanted to get out of my apartment for a while, so I went out and started walking. I didn't know where I would end up, I just wanted to walk in a different direction from usual.

It was a beauuutiful day for once and I wanted to enjoy the sun. After a little walking I stumbled upon what looked like a little park. When I got closer I saw that it was actually a garden. One that was a little rundown, but still perfect for what I wanted.

 After following a trail that was covered in bushes and thorns, I found a stairway which lead to an area surrounded by trees in full bloom. It was beautiful, but my allergies were also in full bloom...Next stop: Headache city, population: me.

If only I had my real camera, that would have made for some amazing photos. But these iphone photos will have to do.

And maybe this garden wasn't so much of a secret because there were other people there. But I don't care, I'm still going to call it that.

Unintentional love story

This past Wednesday, THIS happened. 

Ah sorry for sloppy writing, I drew this after a math final. 

Naked Guy

  For the past few months I've been drawing naked people once a week. It was weird at first...but then it gets kind of normal.
  Most weeks we draw in charcoal which is messy, hard to work with, and just plain horrible. But for the past two weeks of class, we were allowed to bring in whatever medium we wanted. I chose digital myself, and brought in my laptop and tablet.
  I've never tried to draw from life on it before, so it was a new experience. Towards the end I think I got pretty okay at it, with the exception of the "hairy" line work that my teacher said I need to get rid of.

  All jokes about the angle aside, I'm kind of proud of this. It shows that I made improvement, which hopefully can only continue. 

  Now I wonder what kinds of people will find this post based on the tags and title...hmmmmmm... 

Bus Snobs

(In case you can't read it...)

Kent: "The behavior of our classmates is rahther abhorable."

Kayla: "mm'Indeed."

Also, 'abhorable' is a funny word which spellcheck doesn't seem to like. But it's still a real word...right?

Blogs I been lovin'

Miso Happy: A pretty popular doodle blog on tumblr. This is actually one of the blogs that inspired me to start using my tablet again. And guess what? This girl studied my major and lived in Seattle like I do!! (Until she moved a while ago...) I totally want to be her best friend and doodle together and make cute things and be all Seattley and graphic designy.  * _ *

Little Miss Paintbrush: Another cute doodle blog! I mean just look at her layout, it pretty much sums everything up as soon as you open her page. Plus I love the sense of humor as well.

Cute in Korea: This blog is just starting out, but what's already there is great. Elle is a foreigner living in korea, it's interesting to hear about korean things from her point of view. (My favorite is the food posts eh heh heh...)

"Huffmans'" flickr: Not a blog...that makes my title a lie...But I absolutely adore this girl's photos! It's no secret that I have a Disneyland obsession, and since I can't afford to go anytime soon, I spend a good amount of time online pretending I'm there.
When I get tired of the standard park photos that everyone takes, I look for something a little more fantasy-ish and artsy. That's exactly what huffmans' photos are, beautiful, surreal photos that make the most magical place in the world look even MORE magical. Here's some of my favorites.






So that's how I've been spending my free time lately, looking at these blogs (and photos) for hours on end. :)
