Dark times



I absolutely love the music this swedish singer makes. Lykke Li has got to be one of the best pop singers 'round. I wish she would sing outside my window too (if she ever comes to Singapore!) In the meantime, you guys should listen to her latest album titled Wounded Rhymes. The track that I put on repeat is Youth Knows No Pain. Other tracks I love include Get Some, Jerome, Love Out of Lust, and of course, I Follow Rivers. This is practically almost the whole album! Me Gusta!

I was watching Wuthering Heights a few days ago. Didn't manage to finish it but really! I've got to find the time to finish watching it. My eyes were practically glued to the TV screen. Eventually, I had to stop because of some reason or another, so of course I had to switch off the TV (reluctantly, if I may add). The Wuthering Heights movie I'm talking about is not the 2011 one, by the way. It's the one starring Julliete Binoche and Ralph Fiennes. I think I'll try to read the book again some time later, like really really later. I'm sorry but the language used within the pages of the book proved to be quite difficult for me to comprehend.

Alright, that's just about it for today. Time for me to tackle my homework. xx

Clueless, as usual.

I went out yesterday with the purpose of using my Diana F+ for the first time. Completely clueless, I was. I had no idea how to use the thing, and I realized eventually that I missed one shot out of the 12 I could have taken with a roll of 120v film. I wanted to create some multiple exposure shots but I wasn't even sure how. So I played with the thing (that clicks when you turn it) and sometimes try to take pictures in between the numbers that show on the "screen". I don't even know if it will appear on the film but I think I screwed it up really bad. So yeah, I'm going to admit that I was a total nOOb while trying to use the Diana F+. I sincerely hope my thirty bucks didn't go to waste though (I have this absolutely horrifying feeling that the pictures are going to come out all washed-out).

Painstaking effort was made to ensure that I don't get it wrong, which I'm pretty sure I did anyway. I even brought the ever-so-confusing manual with me. I don't get it! Can someone please explain to me how to use this Diana F+ of mine? From square one, if you would.

In the meantime, here are a few photos taken on film that I so greatly admire. I'll probably post my failed attempts at film photography when it's finished being processed. It'll be finished in the next two weeks, I was told.

I'm sincerely sorry. If I weren't so tired, I would've posted more.
