The Time Traveler's Wife

Hands down, my favorite book of all time. I finished it in 2 reads and i highly recommend it.
It was introduced to me by a really good friend of mine, Cynthia. She said it was a book that gave her standards with what it was like to be in love.
She handed it to me a week after Ian had left for the States. It was the beginning of this Long Distance shebang. My world had just shifted and i was getting used to a place where the love of my life no longer existed. It was tough.
The book couldn't have come at a more perfect time.

The waiting. The longing. The dreams. The worries.
I could relate to practically everything in that book. It gave me hope upon embarking on this journey of love in its simplest form. Because when you're in something like this, sometimes, knowing that you love each other and trust that everything will work out should be good enough.

I've read it three times. A movie was supposed to come out in 2007. It didn't. Rumors came out that it would be out by December of 2008. Again, that didn't happen. This time, the full trailer is out... and it will be in theaters this coming August.
I cannot wait.
I hope to God it doesn't disappoint.
I introduced it to a group when i was part of a book club not long ago. I got mixed reviews, of course. Everybody's entitled to their own opinion. I have no quarries with that.
Personally, i fell in love with the characters, and the book was an absolute page-turner. I could read it right now.

The book is written by Audrey Niffeneger, published in 2003.
The movie is due to hit theaters on August 14. Directed by Robert Schwentke, starring Rachel McAdams and Eric Bana.
Wanna see the trailer?

Genius.

Perfect day to be at home just lounging. Big, fat raindrops are falling from the sky outside.
I decided to go on the internet and look for anything fun. I came across a very interesting commercial that i absolutely love.

It was introduced to me by Ian 4 years ago. As soon as it was done, it became my favorite commercial ever made. A few others have made it pretty close, but i think it's safe to say that it's the most genius thing i have ever laid eyes on.

Absolutely FRESH.



It is very important that you understand:
No computer graphics or digital tricks have been used in the making of this film. Everything shown happened in real time, exactly as you see it.

It took 606 takes to get it right.
The other 605 times, something minor would go wrong, they would set it up all over again and start from the beginning.

Shooting was done night and day. Including the full engineering of the sequence, it took 3 months to complete the project... and 6 million dollars.

2 Honda Accords were disassembled by the Filmmakers to produce this film. That's 2 HAND MADE Accords- 2 out of which there are ONLY 6 in the world. Everything in the film (aside from the wall, floor, ramp & complete Honda Accord) are from those 2 cars.

GENIUS. i love it.

i HELLA want one!!!

The Disturbing Beauty of Oversaturated Pictures & Lomography.
By Vailancio Rodrigues

“Lomography” is a term quite unknown to most of us, but many practice it. The name was inspired and derived from the Russian “LOMO” cameras. Lomography not only refers to photographs taken with the LOMO camera, but can also apply to casual photography taken with any ordinary camera.

The characteristics of Lomo photographs are oversaturated colors, extreme optical distortions, rainbow-colored subjects, off-kilter exposure, blurring and alternative film processing, all things usually considered bad in photography. In short, Lomography is the act of taking photographs without thinking, and ignoring the established rules of “good” photography.

The perfection in imperfections. Sounds about right.
What could be more glorious???
The look of it- how it radiates, the feel it gives out, the freedom it exudes- it's absolute perfection...


My birthday is coming up soon... maybe i'll get lucky. =p
Universe, hear me out... again!

I'm itching to create beauty...
I HELLA want one!
