Photo editing #2


Today, I managed to changed the background of a photo. 
Using LR mobile and Pic Art Apps.

Photo editing #1



To create this effect, I’ve used LR CC Mobile and Pic Art Apps.

Giving the photo a slight purple hue.

Is it better than the original?

LTR CC Mobile


I’ve known of Lightroom software for sometime but just did not get to try it  as I’ve always been using photoshop as well as other Apps on the mobile. 

Lately, I chanced upon a tutorial on YouTube teaching how to use LTR CC Mobile to improve on a portrait. I think I’ll focus this month on trying out this App. I hope I could achieve using the App to make my portrait photos into professional portrait shots.

Sony WX500


When you want to buy a toy, you tend to give yourself so many reasons to buy it. You will make many justifications to assure yourself that it is a wise purchase. 

Do I need a camera?

I think I do. 

My mirrorless four thirds is slightly faulty. 
A camera has better resolution than smartphone. 
I love photography and having a camera is justifiable. 
A compact camera is small and light enough for me to carry with me all the time. 

Needless to say, I bought the Sony WX500 for $419.

Private Event





When your friend is willing to spend the whole day cooking up a storm for you, it speaks a lot about the friendship. 
When someone is willing to give you his/her time, that’s the most precious gift. 
Thanks Kat for inviting us over for the sumptuous dinner. Your simple dinner
was indeed very elaborate and time consuming to prepare. 
Really appreciate it!
Thanks for your hospitality and for including me.

This pistachio tart was just heavenly. 

Love the right level of sweetness and the natural taste of the ingredients. 

I’m just so lucky to have friend like Kat who bake like a pro and always treat us to her creations. Her longan sourdough bread was to die for too. I just love it. Ate a whole slice even though I was like 110% full. 

Thank God for the angels in my life.

Blogging



Last year, I wanted to start blogging again but it didn’t take off.  Let’s try again this year to see whether I can be more consistent. 

Habit doesn’t form by itself. It takes planning and effort to make it into action. Setting a goal is one thing, making it into a system of repeated action takes effort and planning that orchestrate the action to repeat. 

Let’s see whether I can make it this time.

The Third Life

  The third life! As I enter this phase of my life, there are obvious and inevitable changes to me, be it physically, mentally and even circ...
