San Francisco Loves

During my time back at home, my best friends and I decided to finally go on our photoshoot that we’ve been planning for months. We’re missing Midge (Michelle) however :/, which was a huge bummer, but there’s always more to come!

We decided to meet at Sarah’s house where we found the cutest spots to take some shots. Some areas are really rustic while others had the San Francisco urban feel. We ran from spot to spot in the usual 55 degree weather which actually gave us perfect natural lighting! My portrait is kinda washed out because we realized we didn’t fix the settings on my camera yet, but the ones of my best friends are absolutely gorgeous :) Pretty much best friends since grade school and have been blessed by them since! Here are some of my favorites!

Stay connected :)

Not sure if this is creepy or cute to you, but Merrily Christmas from the cutest kat in the world! (pun intended? bahah :P)

And remember all, rejoice in the birth of our incarnate God this day! The precious Lamb who voluntarily and in all humility bore our sins to save and redeem us.

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.

Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:

Who, being in very nature God,
did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,
but made Himself nothing,
taking the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
And being found in appearance as a man,
He humbled Himself
and became obedient to death–even death on a cross!
Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place
and gave Him the name that is above every name,
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.

- Philippians 2:3-11

Beautiful. One of my all time favorite passages. Thank you Jesus! :)

Candy Cane Lane :)

Kicked off the Christmas spirit with Danny at Candy Cane Lane in Palos Verdes! It felt pretty hectic because of all the honking cars that were bumper to bumper down the festive lane, but some highlights included a ferris wheel (o__o?!) and the Grinch! Some houses were insannneeee, while some truly captured the meaning of Christmas with a display of the birth of Jesus. Good job residents.

Matching American Apparel jackets, Starbucks, Christmas lights, and my favorite boy :) yum. Christmas started off pretty well! :)

Yes, it is finals week. This tumblr post probably belongs to the numerous FB status updates and blog posts about the stresses of finals and how close we are to the sweet smells and tastes of Christmas. Press on fellow students!

However, instead of being stressed out with finals (only because I conquered my massive project two weeks ago, which relieves my workload by a ton), I’ve been craving to get my hands on some art making. So much so, that I tried to cater this hunger by an attempt of reproducing a handwritten font that I admired on a blog not to long ago. It’s probably not very close to the original but it helped my studying! :) Ah, perhaps there is a fusion of distractions and studying. Cheers to art making and the wonderful practice of doodling during studying or a longg lecture!

I’ve also been insanely blessed this week with a surprise “Survival Sack” from Auntie Linda! She is the sweet mother of my best friend and generously sent me a wonderful heavy sack of a mix of healthy and well…not so healthy snacks through Biola’s Department of Spiritual Life :) Which, are the best ever. Much thanks Auntie Linda! :)

And if you somehow read my study notes, it’s on the material of my Theology class. Overall, it’s been the best class I’ve ever taken and have been extremely blessed throughout this semester. Thank You Jesus for faithful and passionate professors like Thoennes, and the many revelations and lessons You have taught me through this class.

4 more days!

**Btw, click on the pictures to see it better :P The layout on Tumblr cuts it off by a lot.

100/100

IT IS FINISHED!!!

After dayyyysss of labor layering a once styrofoam ball with incredibly random things, I am absolutely relieved that I am finally finished with this massive 3D project. Yesssss :) Thank You Jesus.

However, I’ve painfully embarked on another hard journey of placing 100 photographs into a 204 page book. This is probably my 2nd night staying up till at least 4AM editing photos, and now working through my 3rd night (or painfully early morning) designing the cover and the info pages. My eyes feel swollen and heavy, but just as my graphic design professor always says to my class, “I totally understand those nights working and clicking away, and asking yourself why it’s suddenly bright outside.” Sighh…I probably have to get used to these nights staring at a computer screen and drinking cups of water (I’m not sure why I’m always feeling dehydrated whenever I work late o___o).

Alas! I can only dream of holding my finished book and flipping through the pages to see the growth of the now massive ball. It’s still sitting proudly in my room, though I can’t wait to throw it out -___-

December 13th will be a glorious day! (Hopefully :/)
