the 10 golden rules of lomography

1. take your LOMO with you wherever you go
2. use it all the time, at any time - day & night
3. lomography does not interfere with your life, it's a part of it
4. get as close as possible to the objects of your lomographic desire
5. don't think (william firebrace)
6. be fast
7. you don't have to know what's going to be captured on your film beforehand

8. you don't have to know what's on mthe film afterwards either
9. shoot from the hip
10. don't worry about the rules

(this came together with my box of films)

the fish bone

stupid fish bone
stuck in my throat
since valentines day

went to the docs
they looked through the scopes
but didnt find a thing

call me unlucky
happens once in a million
its not good

waiting for
the ct scan
results

hoping for the best
that its just a scratch

i dont wanna go through
that cold hard metal

god, please free me
from this terrible nightmare

god, please save me
let me in to your world

*impromptu song
(humming the tune in my head)
HAHAHA
bet i'll forget the tune
i miss my poem/song writing days

extra lyrics
(for christian song)

god, redeem me
from this cold hearted world

god, lead me
into your embrace

the downturn

i reached home feeling tired and excited
just bought my DIANA+
and received 2 parcels at home!
my argus 20 and my close up lens ..
took pictures and wanted to share
only to be led in huge disappointment and much despair
right now my mood is just going down down down

sequence of mood turning sour

1. argus
omg. its perfect

just like what i thought it would be
i love it.

2. close up lens
i saw a picture somewhere on a net where
a similar CU lens fitted perfectly on a fuji instax 7
i convinced myself it could work on camera too

but not only does it not fit,
when i tested it, my picture turned out black
-.- nevermind.
then i saw that the packaging of the lens says for fuji instax 50/55
what the hell. i remember asking hell alot of questions
one was if it could fit on a fuji instax
(i didnt state any model)
and the guy said NO
so i went to the site to check it out
then i noticed it only states for lomo lc-a
when i bought it, i thought to myself
"even if i cant use if for my fuji instax,
i can still use it for my holga"
but damn!
now im thinking where the hell did i see the word holga man
did i just pay for a freaking CU Lens for NOTHING
ughs! i feel so shitty

3. diana+
then i realised..
isnt diana+ supposed to come with ..
a. diana+
b. diana vignettes photo and story book
c. instruction manual
d. 12 & 16 shot format frames
e. shutter lock, neckstrap, lens cap
and i only received a diana+ and frames and neck strap and lens cap
I FEEL SUPER CHEATED

4. multicolour flash
i wanted to get it to go along with my holga
and it isnt a bad choice too
but after i bought diana+ without research
realised i can only use ring flash with it
i thought why not just get a ring flash and use for both
but its already pre-ordered
and i cant back out
DAMN.

i hate it that its going downhill
how much more can i take

the expensive addiction

omgness
it feels like an entire day has passed (and it has)
and i havent moved more than an inch being in front of the comp
havent removed my make up
havent ate my medicine
havent drank water tho my throat begs
havent even gone to the toilet (hope i dont get stones)
i cant remember when was the last time i became so addicted
(this does not include my first love: shows)

and it doesnt help when my almost 5 years old laptop
cant support me in fast speed anymore
darn! so frustrating.
time to get a new comp!
(already planning)
(damn! more money spent)

DAMN. IM SO ADDICTED.

oh my oh my
my camera craze is seriously draining me dry
somebody stop me. (or not)

many thanks to shareen and khloee for their patient advices

the bliss

i am
HAPPY
