summer '11: amateur photoshoot with wong. :)

DAY 1: WRITE SOME BASIC THINGS ABOUT YOURSELF.

Name's Ann. INCOMING SENIOR!!! I was born in the states but grew up in MNL (represent :>). I'm half Chinese and half Filipino. I'm an only child, so basically I'm leaving a sad and uninteresting life. (not really ;)) I'm not really a fashionable person. My sense of fashion is kind of blah when it goes to shopping. :)) But I do have a thing for cardigans, v-necks and floral tops/ dresses/ shorts/ ANYTHING FLORAL and purses. :) I'm not much of a photographer as well, but I do take a lot of random photos anywhere I go. I don't write much except if it's really (AND I MEAN REALLY) required. :)) I LOVE MUSIC! :) But I don't write songs or compose songs. :)) I do make a couple of covers, but I'm sucha chicken to post 'em (hehe). I like colorful, glittery, complicated art. I like making jewelries from junk (ONE OF THE REASONS WHY I STARTED MY BOTTLE CAP JEWELRY PROJECT :D). I'm not a nerd but I'm soooo fascinated with the PERIODIC TABLE OF ELEMENTS. :)) HAHA AAAAND naming the elements and stuff. :)) Starbucks IS MY ADDICTION. HAHA (but nooo whipped cream :>). I'd like to travel to ENGLAND, FRANCE, INDIA, SOUTH AFRICA AND BALI someday!!! That would be like heaaaaaven for me :) hahaha.

Now, I've reached the point wherein I can't think of anything to write about myself. So just check out my posts here to find out more about myself and stuff. :)) I'll just have to warn you though, I'm a REALLY RANDOM PERSON. :) I just do things what I feel like doing. :) Maybe one day I'll post a video of me singing or eating or doing something weird :)) It just comes through me. So hope you guys check out my posts...yeah it might be a bit boring at first but I'll really try my best to do some quirky gimmick here for it to be interesting ;) ayt?! :)))

Since I have a feeling I won't be able to post any interesting stuff YET. I figure to post tidbits about myself through this "30 DAY CHALLENGE". I won't be doing it by day though :) I might do 2-4 per day, depending on my mood. :))

One of the things that I'm starting to collect are these PEZ CANDY CONTAINERS. :) It just amuses me by how they're being made and stuff. The first PEZ CONTAINERS I have in my collection are the Christmas Ed. ones that my aunt bought from Cosco. There are 2 more of these but I haven't opened 'em yet. :) (I might just do that later...:>) hehe I'm not sure if this new obsession of mine will last, but I hope it will. :) HAHA! Gonna hunt those Pez containers down! BAHAHA! >:)

PEZ-MESS <3

Christmas Ed. Pez :)

Lately, I've been a sucker for ballers, silly bands, party rubber bands, glow sticks (bracelets), and even religious bracelets (AMEN!). I never get tired of the

m! I sometimes even wear the "Gibo"-(one of the presidential candidates of the last elections) baller. Even glow sticks! I still wear them even if it

doesn't glow anymore. I also have a bunch of more "formal" bracelets. Like bangles, and the usual beaded bracelets. But I still prefer wearing these ragged and colorful rubbery accessories.

<3 these colorful junkies

the BALLERS

AMEN. :)

P-P-P-PARTY.

SILLY BANDS. :)

1.1/365

One of the things that I'm doing this summer is JEWELRY MAKING. :) What I do is I gather a couple of bottle caps, then I hammer them one by one, then I get a picture, cut it into a circle until it fits inside the bottle cap, then I use DIAMOND GLAZE to stick

the picture into the bottle cap, then ones it's secure, I pour another layer of DIAMOND GLAZE on top of the picture. After 6-9 hours depending on room temperature, VOILA! My bottle cap jewelry is finished! :) Of course you have to attach a necklace hook or something so that it can be a pendant :)

So here are some of the tools that I'm using, not ALL of them are in the pictures though. If you want to make your own BOTTLE CAP JEWELRY, there are A LOOOOT of tutorials on youtube or on art blogs and stuff. Like this one: http://www.craftbits.com/project/resin-bottle-cap-necklace

So if I were, I'd start collecting those bottle caps, and start makin

g my own BOTTLE CAP

JEWELRY! :)

So, here I have my MAGICAL tool box, spray paint and container which contains the FINISHED PRODUCT! (which I'll be showing SOON! :>)

I'm using silver spray paint as of now. But I'm planning to check on other colors! Like red, violet or even NEON colors :)

A sneak peek of what's inside the tool box. :) So as you can see the circular shaped pictures on the 1 column there, then some beads, stickers, pliers, glue, a bottle cap. :)

So basically, those are just SOME of the materials that you'll be needing. But the MOST IMPORTANT MATERIAL FOR THIS PROJECTS IS THE DIAMOND GLAZE which can be bought in ANY CRAFT STORE. :) You can just check out the link I posted above for the complete list of materials :)

1/365 days of summer

I can't believe I'm actually making a blog :)) I'm not much of a blogger. I'm not even sure what kind of a blogger I am, but here's the heads up. The things that I'll be posting here are the things that happened in my life. So I guess you can call this a personal blog. :) In here I'll be posting things that are keeping me busy, things that I find interesting, anything under the sun actually. So expect some audio, video, photo, written posts in this blog. :) There might be times that my post will turn out to be a "ranting post" but I'll try my best to lessen that. :) hehe. Oh yeah, if you notice the title of this post is 1/365 days of summer it means that this post is day 1 of my 365 days of summer project. I actually have A LOT OF KNICK-KNACKS for this project which I'll be posting sooner of later uhm but it involves some artsy craft stuff and yeah those kinds of stuff. So, I hope you guys enjoy my blog. :) uhm, if you have questions/comments/suggestions/EVEN VIOLENT reactions, don't hesitate to send 'em right in. :)
