a year through my phone

1.01.2012



I'm really terrible at documenting my day-to-day's through the eye of my camera, but my phone sees a lot. One of the pleasures of maintaining a blog is being able to look back and relish memories otherwise forgotten. Not that I post a whole lot of personal stuff here... but each post is its own entity. I came across this post I wrote in 2008. So weird reminiscing and how much I've grown; I can at least say I still feel the same way. 2011 has treated me well, and I thank you all for reading! There is so much to look forward to in 2012 - hope you all join.

Some memories (not in chronological order): went to a few concerts: Glee Live,  surprised my friend with Lykke Li tickets, saw Ellie Goulding perform on a rooftop in Manhattan, fell in love with Foster the People; found a secret spot to watch Disneyland fireworks (as well more than quadrupling my annual pass value);  explored Dallas; watched my baby cousin grow; met one of my idols, Kelly Wearstler, and had dinner with her (omg!); visited Conde Naste for my Lucky Magazine shoot; but most importantly got closer than ever to the people who I care most about.

Some resolutions: be behind the camera more often, graduate UCI, invest in camera equipment, keep my thoughts and closet clean, travel and go to shows, purify emotional and physical toxins, drink more wine, share my inspirations, and don't get comfortable. All looking towards a tangible future. xo

Happy New Year!! It looks like you had so much fun in the past year and I am sure that 2012 will be even better for you!!

I sometimes get too lazy to bring my camera out because it is so bulky. But just like you my phone keeps so many memories from my day-to-day life.

Haha tell me your secret spot for Disneyland fireworks! Other than right in front of the castle, I can never find a good spot, but I hate waiting to save a spot too....
You have awesome pictures! I think my phone sees more than my camera too. It's easier to carry around a phone anyways :)
