Looking back as I panic over grad school requirements
This time last year, I got an industrial piercing (which is now long gone because it never healed). Also, I was freaking out over my thesis because genius that I am, I put it off til three weeks before its due date! And they let someone like me graduate from college? Pfft.

I still can't get over how much I changed in such a short span of time, and how I love the way I am now and how my life is going, directionless as it may seem. Srsly.

At the moment I'm frantically piecing together the requirements needed for the UP Creative Writing program (which is due in four days). My application forms remain unfilled because I can't, for the life of me, remember when I defended my thesis. Or what my thesis is called. I'm pretty sure it was some long, pretentious title. I just need to remember what it was. And when I defended it. Did I even write a thesis? I can has graduated from collidge?

This moment of procrastination has been brought to you by the strange effect of mixing uppers and downers (two cups of coffee and anti-allergy medication). Kk, back to those forms!

Oh hi! So that's why your userpic looks so familiar. :D Yeaaah I'm really excited about this, I hope I get in! Otherwise it looks like I'm doomed to a life of corporate slavery. :(

Oh yeaaah, I remember you! So that's why you looked so familiar. Awesome, I didn't know you were into lomography. I got my Holga about a month ago, I think, and right now I'm looking for cheap plastic cams so I can use 35mm film.

Yep, I think the CW program is in English. :)

Added you back! :)

in english? ohh i guess that certificate program is the only one in filipino.

i just got into lomography a few months ago. feb, i think. but i fell in love with it about three years ago...WITH THE LCA! it was my first love. but a little college student like me didn't have the moolah to shell out 10k for the pretty baby so i tried to brush lomography off my system. wham! i discovered it again and bought myself a holga CFN and the addiction started from there! :D

try the vivitar ultra wide and slim (check the forum if ponch is still taking orders). it's known as the "LCA KILLER". haha. :)

see you around and good luck with grad school! i'm still trying to figure out what i want to take up for grad school.

Yep, I checked the forums and holy god it's kind of expensive! o_o I want a Vivitar Ice Cam, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. Also, I've been thinking of getting a Tunnelvision lens for my Holga but it costs four grand. I'll give it a few months and see if I still want it. What cameras do you have? :)

I ordered an LCA (I call it my ultimate lomo nirvana because it's the ultimate lomo cam haha!) and it's on the way. I'll have to wait for 2 weeks max (imagine how hard it is!).

My cameras so far are:
the holga cfn, colorsplash camera, vivitar ice cam, vivitar ultra wide and slim, minolta xg-1 (a vintage slr), jazz jellies 110 camera, and the polaroid izone.

:D i want to get an autosampler, a supersampler, and a fisheye 2 next! :D

at the Megamall SM department store. i rushed there after someone announced the good find. :D after that, a lot of lomomanila people went and ubos agad stock! Haha it was so funny when the saleslady asked if I was sure I wanted the Ice Cam because it was plastic. i said "that's exactly the point!". apparently, it was underappreciated until lomomanila people came alone. :D

i know someone who wants one too. she tried sm makati, MOA, and north edsa but still no Ice Cam. :(
