I just got home from my day. I’m sticky from sweat so I’m going to go shower and then do my homework & try to sleep soon. I woke up late today. I planned on waking up at 6AM on the dot but for some reason my alarm didn’t ring so I woke up at 6:50. :[ So sad! But yeah, goodbye guys (: I hope to be on this site & resource stuff soon. I’m a lot more updated with tumblr cause it’s just so simple to use and more social… :/ so yeah. Maybe I should just move everything there… Eh, idk. I like my host D: Good hosting @ http://www.lovecoredesigns.com!

Since I have nothing more to yap about, here are some recent tumblr pictures I took.
You can follow me @ http://kwinsturr.tumblr.com/

Was great! (: I was very happy to see everybody again. I honestly can’t believe I am a Senior… it feels like it was just yesterday I began my Junior year. The largest class I have this year is AP Government and Politics with 23 other students. 23 students in one class is PACKED since all my other classes, I have about 14-18. my second largest class would have to be either AP English or Accounting. I’m satisfied with my classes except for lunch. I was a little upset o find out that my boyfriend didn’t have lunch with me. :/ I was really hoping we would together. Maybe when my fifth period, which your period teacher determines your time of lunch, will have me switch into second lunch. First lunch is so friggen lonely and it’s loud as hell. Also, I’m glad I’m not in classes full of stupid, immature, and rude people. God I’ve been waiting for those days to come to an end. >_> Oh, and when we got our lockers, I accidentally locked the paper of my combination in my locker… No one had the code or key to it (which i do not understand why) so the janitor had to cut it off. I want my own lock… I’m going to ask if I can buy my own purple one (: That would be awesome. It shouldn’t be a problem because if there’s no lock or key for all the locks… then what’s the point of stopping me on buying a lock for myself? -.-

Cross country practice has been pretty good except for the fact that I am slacking and giving up on myself too easily. Today, I did pretty okay but it was HOTTTT AS BALLS. @_@ I don’t even know what I like running in better: the heat or the cold. the cold makes your breathing just as worse as the heat. A nice windy day may be fine. Soooo~ Tim and I are going to schedule a captain’s practice since we have TWO FOUR DAY WEEKENDS! Insane, right? I mean, what’s the point of starting school on Wednesday if we’re not going to have school on this Friday(3rd), Monday(6th) next week, and Thursday(9th)and Friday(10th), and an early release Tuesday! Gosh, .

Soooo my class president asked me to be the official photographer for the class of 2011! I was asked for the Junior’s class as well (2012), but I don’t know what they’ll want me for, lol. I must bring my camera to school now cause I am also going to make a cross country movie with pictures at the end of the seaosn so I would like some of my own pictures along with other’s.

Hurricane Earl is hitting Massachusetts late Friday! Hopefully everyone in the Cape will be safe :/

Well, I don’t have much homework but I don’t want to procrastinate so I’m going to get myself a bagel and start my work early so I can play games later or something.

Must do AP work. (In fact, I finished my first book) :P

I WANT ME SOME BUFFALO CHICKEN. Ima go make some.

Rainy days depress everything…

Still the same. [im in the middle, sister on the right (: ]

Ate cereal at garry & eric’s house at 1:20AM

Good luck, Big Sis. <3

New Theme | Installed a LIKE button | New Advert: Reasons to be Beautiful Magazine | 14 new Light Textures

Hey there (: Yes, I did not make this amazing layout. Why? Cause I’ve been done with making my own layouts… I don’t have time for that anymore so I just find layouts. It took me days to find this layout that satisfies me in every way. ^^ Sorry for the lack of updates. I’ve been busy with tumblr Hahha. I’d post the things I post on tumblr here, but I like how tumblr has a bunch of likes & everything. I wish wordpress had a system like that. It’d make things a lot more easier for me to see what’s good!

I have some new light textures to upload. I’ll work on them now.

Todays a rainy so no plans! Tomorrow I have captains tennis practice at 1PM. We have to verse each other in a singles match just to see where everyone is at. I’m a little nervous cause I get competitive and if I screw up, I get frustrated which screws me up even more.

I CAN’T BELIEVE MY SUMMER BREAK IS ALMOST OVERRR! NOOOO! I’m not ready for college, SATs, stress, and REALITYYY. :[ Let me be trapped in my own dreams where I can make anything the way I want it to be! </3 Poop.

But I have nothing to blog… . Here’s my schedule for my senior year though. I’m pretty okay with it.

Period 2 – Accounting I – Ms. Stadfield
Period 3 – Chamber Singers-L1 – Ms. Carvey
Period 4 – French III-L2 – Ebai

Saturday, went bowling for Charlie’s birthday.

Went down to the Cape Last Week with my boyfriend and his family & Melissa.

Thursday, August 5th. I had my senior portrait session at 2PM with Andrew. It was alright, but I honestly think I could’ve just picked any picture I took of myself and used it in the year book because I like my photos better than the photos taken by any studio. Wasn’t worth my 40 dollars.

Saturday, August 7. My friends and I played capture the flag at our town’s park. It wasn’t as intense as an elementary gym class because little kids actually do something rather than just stand there and be chicken enough to stay on their own side or spot. We played two rounds and left to play basketball at an elementary school nearby. We took a break at Burgier King and went back to the courts except this time, I played with a T-Pain Auto-tune application on Eric’s iPhone. I was so dang loud with it. :P

Sunday, August 8. Andrew, Tommy, Jon, Jeff, and I went over to Michelle’s house (separate times) to hang. Michelle was suppose to go to Rhode Island with her parents, but I guess she didn’t feel like it. Jeff and Jon came from the middle school after balling up for a few hours. Jon made some pasta! :P It was pretty good with the shrimp. The shrimp was bomb.

Monday, August 9. My sister (not by blood), picked me up around 12pm and brought me to her house to take some pictures! =) Vicky thought it was this day to go to the movies with our other friend, Aimee, before she goes off to college. It was actually the next day. =P Anyway, I went to the doctors with Vicky and after that we went back to swim. Jon came over and swam with us but Vicky thought it was too cold so she chickened . I had a photo shoot with a friend to do at the town park. Vicky drove to Dunkin Donuts, then CVS, then dropped me off. Vicky and Jon stayed at the park until my friend showed up. I liked most of the results from Shaunice’s shoot (: (pictures are at the very bottom of the blog)

Tuesday, August 10. I walked to Andrew’s house since it was near the movies and I got picked up by Vicky and Aimee and we headed towards the movies. We watched Dinner With Schmucks. It is an awesome movie! I definitely recommend it to those who have great humor

Wednesday, August 11. Did a photo shoot early in the morning with Shanyn at the high school then I walked to Andrew’s. We went to play tennis at the middle school with the rest of the Asians. Went bowling and ate at Popeyes with everyone from the tennis court.

Thursday, August 12. Michelle’s camp out! =) It was funnnn and there was a lot of people in her house. We set up three tents after everyone arrived. No one slept until 3 or 5AM. Garry, the only one who got less sleep slept for 30 minutes! … roflll. We were suppose to watch the Meteor Shower, but it was so cloudy we couldn’t see anything! =( …

Friday, August 13. Awake at Michelle’s. Everyone cleaned up, except for me cause I was lazy as fuck… sorry guys I’ll make it up to you. We walked to the middle school to play basketball for a few hours then walked back to get our stuff at Michelle’s. Everyone dispersed there and we went swimming at the high school for almost 2 hours. Brian and Sam went home but the rest went to McDonalds. It was myself, Garry, Eric, Tommy, and Andrew. We sat at McDonalds for TWO hours talking about life & we went about the table telling each other what we dislike about each other. It was a nice talk. After that we walked to Andrew’s and my mom picked me up at 10PM. When I came home, I saw a bunch of people partying at my house T.T Arghh. I hate the little kids. ALways effin’ shyt up.

Saturday, August 14. Sleep, food and networked. Here I am I typed this blog a few hours ago but I’m almost done I am on Skype with Andrew’s account but it’s Melissa on the other side of the screen! Hehhe. We’re going down to the cape tomorrowww! I’m excited.

SITE UPDATES;
8 New Light textures !
2 New Tutorials : Image recoloring Electric & Mango.

Ahhh! I apologize for the lack of updates. Things have been a little frustrating for me concerning home and family, but things are okay now. Other than that, I’ve been outgoing to the point where I don’t even have time to update my blogs. I upload a lot of pictures from my outdoor activities and events on my facebook because luckily, I’m not limited … unlike flickr. :[ I used 93% of the monthly available space xD Well, it’s August, so hopefully it reseted to 0%! I need to take a new portrait today for my 52 weeks self-portrait project. been slacking a bit on my 365. I have a senior portrait session in three days! I don’t know what to wear… D: I should search for some outfits two day before and stuff so I don’t panic at the last minute. I went to the doctors Saturday to check up on these random skin inflammation areas on my body and these random bumps… x.x I’m a little disgusted but hopefully things will get better soon with the medications they prescribed to me.

Andrew, Jon, and I are waiting for our friend Michelle to hurry up getting ready so we can go bike riding with Tommy! It’s a cloudy weather and it makes me feel a little mopey but hopefully we’ll have a nice time without anyone getting hurt or injured. She’s not picking up her phone at all!

Anyway, aside from my life, let’s move onto my plans for the site and everything… computer/online related.
Tomorrow, if I have nothing to do, I’m going to upload the light textures I took a couple of days ago, display some pictures on this blog since it makes the blog look more attractice rather than just seeing a bunch of texts, make some tutorials for photoshop, and keep up with my projects.

I haven’t started ANYTHING school related. @_@ Man, I’m slacking, but I’ll get to it… eventually.
We’re giving our cats away… :/ I’m not going to explain the whole situation and express the reasons why, but we’ve had them for about 10 years now. >< I’m going to miss then… I wish we could keep them. I loveee them. <3

Photo below: Went to the mall on July 25th with these fellas! (You can click on pictures to enlarge )

Picture below is from July 28, 2010 when my friends and I swam at Andrew’s. It was fun! This was also the day I swam at 6AM with Brian, Eric, Tommy, Andrew, and Garry. Everyone here is Asian except for Andrew and Tommy. XD

Photo below: Me, Tiffany, Tommy, Andrew, and Michelle went to an AIB art exhibit It was interesting. We watched inception that day and walked around Boston for awhile. I like how everyone’s drinking something but I wasn’t. :[

Photo below: Went to Boston Bowl with Amy, Eric, Jeff, Andrew, Tommy, Michelle, Charlie and Jon on July 31st! We played pool

Photo below: I had our friend Joe take this picture on the day of Andrew’s cookout on August 1st!

And at this point, I consider Andrew Cabral, Tuyet Nguyen, Tommy Goodale, Michelle Au, and Tiffany Hua as my true friends.

I’m sad to say that I’ve met people who are inconsiderate of others and ‘friends’ who just simply moved on. Those ‘friends’ are people whom I don’t mind losing because they’re not worth my time. I’ve given people enough forgiveness and time to prove to me if they still want me in their life, but in the end, things are still the way it is. I try too hard be kind. Even if they’re not my friends and just are acquaintance, I hesitate to say Hi to because all I get in return are smirks, waves, and indecisive hellos. Well, I guess they’re not the friendly type. >_> If you are that type of person, please, don’t just sit back and watch our efforts go to waste for your own amusement.
I quote, “It’s pathetic when you meet people and get so close to them but then in the end they disappear on you out of nowhere. Next thing you know, they act as if they miss seeing and hanging out with you but in reality… they put in no effort in making things work again. If you want to drop me out of your life, then I will too.” People come a go, that’s just life. (This has nothing to do with the situation that happened yesterday. I’ve always wanted to write a blog with this kind of topic.)

Tuyet Nguyen, my sister. I consider you as not only my sister and a friend, but you are the observer of the person who I represent everyday. Yes, I hated your critiques, yes I didn’t like how you judged me negatively on our bad, fighting days, but you made me realize the things in life I need to live with. Before, I couldn’t stand the negative ways people judged me, I couldn’t take criticism and I would start a scene and try to act all tough. After many mistakes and experiences, I took your words of me into consideration and changed. You must agree that I’m much better than before, right sis? You’re a great sibling :] I adore you 100% You’re probably too busy to read this and we haven’t talked since the day you left Boston, but I really really, really miss you and love you. I’m beginning to cry, so I’m going to end your part here.

Tommy Goodale, you’ve always been there for me since the beginning. No one ever thought we’d become such great friends and now looking back, I’m glad I met you :] . I don’t remember a time where I never considered inviting you anywhere, even if you were kinda the third wheeler for awhile (LOL, I’m sorry ) What’s more important to me is having you as a friend. You’re honest, and you help cheer me up when I’m near the state of depression about my life. I don’t mean to blast your business on this next part, but even though you had multiple complications with females, I don’t understand how anyone can turn down someone so considerate, comforting, lovable, and caring as you. I think you’d be a great man for any fine lady. ^^ <3

Michelle Au, HEY. I love you, daughter. Even though we barely talk online, when we’re together, we’re like mother and daughter. I like holding your hands when we cross the street, placing my arms over you just because you’re short, taking pictures of you because I think you’re beautiful, and simply just watching you smile. I don’t mean to sound un-straight, but I just fucking love you even though sometimes I just wanna smack the words out of you when you’re angry because all you do when you’re angry is go silent >:o . AS A MOTHER, I FORBID YOU TO KEEP STUFF TO YOURSELF & MAKE YOURSELF SUFFER. No, I’m just kidding. Man, How would I sound if I said this to you in person. 8D LET’S TRY IT. <3

Tiffany Hua, hello my artsy & business buddy I like how whenever we talk, it’s mainly about jobs, our lives, tennis, and just straight up business. You’re an intelligent person and I like how talented you are. We got so close in such a short period of time. To me, you’re one of the friends that I just don’t want to let go so easily because from the moment I first spoke to you, I highly enjoyed it. You’re the only friend who replies to me right after everything. I LOVE IT ! Unlike Andrew, he takes forever to reply. PFTT. (LOL, just kidding hun.) Idk Tiffany, even thought I dislike the intense competitive side of you that makes me feel a little intimidated, I want to remain your friend as long as we can. We have our flaws, but I believe it’s not enough to break our friendship. =) <3

Andrew Cabral, baby, you already know what I think about you, how I feel about you, and just how much I love you. You put up with me whenever I’m upset and go all out on you just because I am angry. I don’t like repeating my sensitive words for you because I put in so much time just for you that I don’t want to spend more time on your part.
My loves about you: “Crap. Where do I even start?
I love how I first met you by hanging out after a last year’s tennis match and after that first day, it became everyday. I love how I’m always with you. I love how you’re my boyfriend and my husband to be <3I love how you give me a shit ton of butterflies and make me smile whenever I see your face.I love how I finally gave you a chance and now I’m deeply in love with you.I love how when playing tennis with me, you try to serve a few times, miss the ball badly in the air, and it bounces off your head. It’s hilariously cute.I love how I get to hear your voice late at night. I love how you can’t stand the fact that whenever I am upset, you try for hours to make me sleep with a smile on my face, even if it’s 2AM.I love it when you get angry when I’m upset because it gives me a chance to chase you instead of the opposite. I love how you rap and sing because when I miss you and can’t hear your voice, I listen to your remixes/covers.I love how my mom likes you.I love it when I take random pictures of you because most of the time, they come out handsome.I love how this is the longest post of my love on your wall. I love how you’re the best thing that has ever happened to me -and I mean it. “
Your smile: “Your smile is simply pulchritudinous and captivating. When I’m raged from desultory dissatisfaction, it takes less than a minute for you to sweep away my troubles and swiftly transition every one of my grimaces into a sincere smile. ”

Fuck the rest.

Inspired by some amazing photographers out there, I’m going to start my own 365 Days project. I thought about this and I realized it’s going to be tough since I’m nearly out of high school, but I want to challenge myself and see what I can come up with everyday. I mainly have a better chance of me taking self-portraits, but I’ll try to take some things other than myself xD The only problem with SPs are dressing up & make up… or just even looking good naturally. Maybe I’ll take a picture of me looking like a complete mess… hm. Nahhh, we’ll see.

I made a Flickr as well. http://www.flickr.com/photos/kwinsturr/

I was photographed as well by Tiffany ;] Hahah. I wore my ‘Lady Gaga’ wig. ^^

What also makes me feel great is how a lot of my friends or people on Facebook are recommending me to do all these things such as selling my photography, photo shoots, and senior portraits! =) Someday.
I just ordered two books on Amazon.com on Photography Marketing. I’m interested and I want to make money someday with my passion for photography. I’ve been reading tips, watching&reading tutorials, and everything a photographer needs to know.
