Merry Christmas

It annoys me when people put "xmas" I guess Christ can be substituted with a simple X huh?

I guess I can never really stick with a schedule. I always do things on my mood or impulse. So my project kinda died. Although I am still taking pictures. I made cheesecake today...which epically failed. But thats ok.

I'm really excited right now since tomorrow I will be going to reno with some family friends. WE used to have a tradition of going to lake tahoe every weekend. But recently they have been going without me. Because my parents simply dont want to go. So I'm basically going without them. haha

I got my watch back today from the shop. I really need to take care of my things. I cant risk breaking the glass on this watch. I just replaced it.

I look at you like my older brother. You are the brother that I never had. I know it sounds weird but I'm just glad that we are friends. Thank you.

Day 2 Poaching eggs

So today I was going to poach eggs. Poaching eggs are way harder than they seem. Its such a genius design. Its like a sunny-side-up egg and boiled egg combined in one. The firmness of the egg white and the liquid yolk make a "to-die-for" combination. I'm planning on making eggs Benedict later on this month. So I gotta practice my poaching egg skills. Man my roomates are gonna be so lucky next year. I can ask "how do you want your eggs?" I can scramble, sunny-side-up, boil, and now poach.

I have no idea how the pictures are gonna turn out. I wasn't so pleased with myself. Poaching eggs and making them look beautiful is really hard. How to food photographers do it? I swear there has to be some sort of magical tool that allows you to do it. I should check the container store or something.

Its weird. Now every time I look at a photo. I analyze how the photographer takes the photo, and I try and see why they did it in that perspective. I can finally understand why people can stare at pictures for hours in a museum. (Note to self, my first real girlfriend we are going to an art museum.)

On a brief note, I signed up for my drivers test! Its on the 24th and I'm taking it in gilroy. Hopefully no one will be driving on christmas eve. I really need to pass this...Or I dont....It doesnt really matter. I can just wait til I'm 18.

I still wonder who really reads my blog. Normally I tell my close friends whats going on in my life, but when I'm with them things never cross my mind, until I start typing them out. No hard feelings. Its not that I dont want to tell you, its because I simply forget.

Until then, day three here I come.

Day one of the project

I'm just count today as day one. Considering that I did start taking the crepe pictures around 1 am. So I think I'm save. I dont think I am going to post my pictures up, I do spam enough on my tumblr and facebook.

I woke up to a text this morning. I wanted to hang out. But my parents wanted me to eat. We made spring rolls. I was debating whether or not to take pictures. But I think i'll wait til dinner. I feel bad, for some reason.

I just can't take my self to sign up for my drivers license....I think i'll keep this as is. I'm just gonna focus on my food. Food blogging for the win.

New project

I wonder if anyone actually reads this....Hello? Anyone out there?

Breaks are usually never productive for me. Sleep, hangout, and eat. That's pretty much all I do over breaks. I decided that I'm gonna try something new. I'm gonna make food take a picture a day, and its gonna be like a project for me. It can improve my photography and I'll keep myself occupied. I love food so much, well gourmet food in fact. Something about presentation of food really gets to me. When I see food that looks really pretty it just makes me happy. Its just food. Why does food have to be so appealing if we are going to eat it anyways.

I took a picture not to long ago of a crepe. I posted the picture on my deviantart and my facebook.I can't wait to start taking picture everyday. This oddly reminds me of the movie Julie and Julia. Which by the way was a major disappointment.
