Tulip

I practice my shooting with my plant, miss tulips. Got the cardinal red! I need to do something as I don’t practice a lot in my photography. Somehow, I always end up doing something during the weekend. Mostly give it to Calvin. He likes to do something else which not my interest. I like outdoor activities where I can play around with my camera. I’m planning to get a better camera this year if my skills keeping me up. I’m really taking it seriously but Calvin thinks I’m just playing around for fun. Guess, I’m just a person who playing around in this eyes.

Anyhow, I tried editing the photos. Not sure if I did a good job or not. I’m still figuring out how to do a better job but it’s not a one day practice to learn all the tricks. To me, I have hard time coz I’m so in love with black and white photos. To have colors on my photos need a lot of patience to have what I want to present it. Never knew editing can be tough. Check it out yourself.

Okay, here another batch of editing. I can’t help myself coz I must have a black and white photos. This took me a very long time to have a prefect editing. It was harder than I thought. Color was much easier. Now I understand, why Calvin not into black and white photos coz you need a lot of time and patience. Black and white is the precious photos. You can’t get it right all the time due to lighting and etc. By the way, let me know what you think thought. Did I do a great job? Give me some advice. PLEASE!!!!

The native range of the species included southern Europe, north Africa, and Asia from Anatolia and Iran in the west of northeast of China. The centre of diversity of the genus is in the Pamir and Hindu Kush mountains and the steppes of Kazakhstan. A number of species and many hyrid cultivars are grown in gardens, used as pot plants or as fresh cut flowers. Most cultivars of tulip are derived from Tulipa gesneriana.

Simple but Great

Calvin and I were out and about on Saturday. First, we went and watched movie name “Knowing”. It’s a spectacular movie and it made me realized about something in my life. It does give me an impact on it. Besides that, I got my HOTDOG! For those who don’t know, I love hotdog a lot. Never get enough of it.

Then, we started our errand for the whole day. We drove from east to west, north to south. Unbelievable!

We wanted to have a relaxing day for us and I decided to have dinner at home. So, we got our dinner at Costco for the very first time. Not first time, we got roasted chicken before. What I mean for the first time is that, we actually try something else there which we never did before. I know, its sound pathetic but hey… something different for us. And I grabbed the Salmon wrap with dressing. It’s a HUGE wrap.

Salmon Wrap with Dressing



We had a hard time to finish it. It was really really good. I kinda surprised when I took my first bite with the dressing. Gosh…. For sure I’m going for more after this. Something to keep in mind when I decided not to cook. This is a good one for sure.

Besides that, I’m craving for cheeses on that day too. I felt like a bad person all the time when I’m craving. Seriously, I’m not pregnant but I’m acting like one. Every other day, I’m for sure craved for something and Calvin such a gentleman will always try his best to get it for me. I love eating. My mouth can’t stop chewing and my tummy always growling even when I’m asleep. And don’t ask me, where all the food goes? I have no idea where all the proteins went even I ate so much. Am I normal???

2 cheeses that we bought


Brie Cheese

That's how it look like when I opened the wrap

Cheddar Cheese

Alright, I did not eat it with any crackers. I just want cheese with nothing and Calvin gave me a thumb up. Does not know what it’s mean but I like it.
