Something BorroWed

... "It's a thin line between love and friendship."

Just watched this movie today and find the story compelling with passion yet loaded with so much heartaches and drowning emotions...

like in the FB status: IT'S COMPLICATED.
{i appreciate the movie though}

Storyline
"Rachel is a lawyer. When she was in law school she fell for another student Dex who comes from an affluent family. But she's too shy to say anything. When Dex meets her best friend Darcy who treats her like dirt sometimes, who was visiting her, she makes a move on him and gets him. Eventually they get engaged and Darcy asks Rachel to be her Maid of Honor. But Rachel stills has feelings for Dex and still can't say anything. But when Darcy throws her a birthday party and Dex is there. When she and gets Dex are alone, she blurts out that she had a thing for him in college which surprised him. And after drinking a little they spend the night together. They try to forget the whole thing but can't but agree that it means nothing. But Ethan, Rachel close friend tells her that she'll spend her entire life regretting that if she does nothing." 

At this stage of life you currently have, what are you willing to risk in the name of L♥VE?

Photo above is my first attempt with DIY bokeh in the shape of heart, and with my one candle glowing in the kitchen, *sorry for the lame photo*.

Fuzzy Bokeh Heart

A note for the broken hearted friend 'C'

♥♥♥♥♥

Makes me wonder... Why does men attempt to entice you, but yet when things are doing well, you're nowhere to be found... did you chicken out? Or this is simply how you roll?... If the answer is the latter, then you're a PRICK... If you chicken out, I guess you still owe an explanation --- don't you think?

I'm here for you my friend. Let your heart cry it all out, and when you get tired of crying, that means it's time to move on... It's his lost, and your gain for being acquainted of his nature this early. I know things looks very blurry and hazy right now but please let that heart mend and heal for in no time it will be ready to love again.

♥♥♥♥♥

Bokeh describes the rendition of out-of-focus points of light. It describes the appearance or "feel" of out-of-focus backgrounds and foregrounds. Differing amounts of spherical aberration alter how lenses render out-of-focus points of light, and thus their bokeh. The word "bokeh" comes from the Japanese word "boke" (pronounced bo-keh) which literally means fuzziness or dizziness.

Let's talk about LOVE

Love is so full of mystery...

It makes you wonder what's in it really ... John Lennon & Paul McCartney say it in a song --- 'All you need is Love'. It can make you smile for no fervent reason. I often heard from famous quotes that love can move mountains, and can't help notice it makes you exquisitely poetic when you're in the circle of love. So what is so special about love? Does it has an extra ordinary concoction that brings about the soul of every individual, lifting up their spirit so high that at times it tends to blind their visual periphery because there is too much sparks, it back fires resulting into falling and crashing down and for sure that's going to hurt so bad... Or maybe it simply just part of the love-scheme-system, that loving is also learning to let go.

I guess there is really no straight answer to this, huh... love is love, it is neither true or false...

I feel loved today ... Love! Love! Love! [as Kris Aquino's tagline]


"Love is never lost. If not reciprocated, it will flow back and soften and purify the heart."

Washington Irving

Bummed Out

You get caught in between two great friends indifference's... am I lucky I moved to a different state hindering me from witnessing the chaos and misunderstanding between the two most important individual in my life? Do i feel sad? TERRIBLY... and it's tearing me apart.

I happen to get to know both of them in different time frame and workplace, though hearing comments from each other, i fairly knew they have their own personalities and disinterest with each other. Being true good friends with them in different momentous occasion of my life did not stop me from getting to know them genuinely. They were both supportive and always been there for me ... which i believe that's what true friendship means.

I am not asking to make two worlds ends meet, I just cannot cease from feeling low and bitter why does it has to happen to my two cherished friends, *heartbroken*.

Posting these happy photos attempting to diverse these complex emotional sentiment i currently have...
hoping to brighten and color my day...

Sun-Bursting Inspiration

Inspiration sometimes just presented itself in front of you... and most of the time it is up to us to recognize it's beautiful presence.

Most of the time if i am aching to get that dramatic landscape i have to plan it well --- location, time frame, glass to use, etc... This particular one, it's simply just random occurrence. As we were heading out after a fun water splash/slide/dip in Hurricane Harbor, this magnificent gorgeous sunset presented in position for me --- like it's telling me to hurry up before it will disappear in the next two seconds. I did not have the privilege to frame my shots, all that is running into this drained/tired --- yet fun-filled head of mine is that there is this radiant stunning sunset showing off and wanted to be captured.

The photo below i personally focus on was the gracefully shaped mountains brought about by the setting sun ... it came out nicely [in my opinion] after opening this particular shot in my desktop, that i captured the cars as foreground, mountains as midground, and the golden yellow sky as the background.

I have to say, i was very glad i had the opportunity to capture these photos... my heart certainly is contented and pleased that evening, *smiling from ear to ear*.

I Smell something Fishy

Turn between two love ... I noticed that fishing and photography has their similarities.

If you're into photography we all know that the best time to take those beautiful dramatic colorful shots is before the sun down and few minutes after the sunset {twilight} --- agree?. To all fisherman's out there, when is the best time to catch a fish... 30mins before and 30mins after sunset, correct? {Maybe most of the time, still learning on this new love, *giggles*}.

Yes, hubby and i are getting into fishing ... never cross my mind that i will end up liking --- maybe loving it now... especially after 2 days ago's catch we need somewhat a bigger size bucket than our normal newbie styrofoam container, {i think that's a good sign, huh}.

As i have said, never in my life that fishing and i will enjoy together. If i can recall back then, I never like going to the wet market/piers, the fishy/seafood smell seems uninviting... plus the buzzing flies all over makes me feel 'germ-phobic', and worst hate it when you're walking in the aisle full of slippery muddy water --- if someone will see me i bet you might wonder if i am doing my own dance moves, [hop, hop, to the side 2x, etc]. And oh, if someone stepped on my toes/shoes, you better run 'coz i will definitely get you.

I guess the tide has turn, well let's just say i can handle raw fish fairly well now especially if i have the right gadgets to work with. I can dig into smelly anchovies bait without any problem, though now that we've learned more on this new found hobby --- it's better to use a rubber gloves when you're doing this, saves you time from scrubbing your hands/fingers after, so to get rid of the said fishy smell.

I can go on and on what we have learned this past 2-3wks regarding fishing, but for now let us pick up more knowledge on the proper techniques, appropriate hooks/lines/baits, etc... by the way, we do pier fishing for the meantime (saltwater fishing), we like it because we don't need fishing license and second, we get to observe qualified/expert fishermen out there... so to avoid acting cuckoo casting your lines --- like our first time fishing, we even don't know how to wind the line on the reel, LOL.

I have to say it does takes some patience, though it's exciting in the same way especially when you feel that tug, that there is something in the end of your line.
