Being Wooed
These past few days, my heart has been swelling. Swelling with love.
God is wooing me. Asking me to talk to Him and spend time with Him. He has truly been showing me how much He loves me. With the sunsets, with art, and with the people He is putting in my life.
He is inspiring me to be me. Gently nudging me to where He wants me to be, to bless me, to love me and protect me.
I thank God that he speaks through sunsets. I thank God He still hears my cries. He hears my desires.
Last week, He gave me another sunset. It was more beautiful and mesmerizing than the first sunset I showed you all. We all stopped to take a look at it. Even my boss stopped to take photos herself. Oh it was beautiful. And I knew it was for me.
This whole weekend, I was surrounded by creativity I haven’t seen in a long time. Theater, singing, dancing and film. It was not just an awakening of the senses, but a calling I have ignored for some time. I will write. I will take more photos. I will act and I will dance like King David danced.
I am back because I am loved.

The Perks…
…of being a wallflower? Not really. But the perks of working by the water. I was able to take a shot of the sunset last night. And I was glad I had my point and shoot with me.
The great thing about sunsets is that it stops you from doing what you’re doing. You drop it and then be mesmerized with the colors, the clouds, the water, and the warmth. It also always makes me think of how small I am and how big my God is. Sunsets give me comfort in knowing that I am not alone. That I have a Father in Heaven who knows how to capture my heart.

Not So Lonely Walk
Nick and I found ourselves walking around his campus tonight. I couldn’t resist and had to take photos. I figured that if I want to get good with photography, I have to keep practicing everyday, even if I am only using my point and shoot. So here goes.
Looking at the photos. It seemed like it was a dead night on Capitol Hill.
I’m glad that I was walking with Nick because I wouldn’t want to be alone on this night, with my imagination.
Who is she???
So I got a Facebook tag from my cousin and he tagged me to share applegirl002′s video. I am not a musician, I don’t play any instrument or even use an iPhone but I am definitely impressed with this girl’s singing ability. Not only is she drop dead gorgeous but she can sing! I couldn’t help but laugh at all my guy cousins and brothers’ comments on the video on Facebook. They’re all drooling and wishing they know her. She is gorgeous! We can’t doubt that.
I couldn’t help but do a little bit of research and sadly only found one other video of her that was not uploaded from her own YouTube account. I feel like a stalker. But I am really curious. I wonder if she’s already a big pop star in Korea. And it’s only now that the rest of the world is finding out about her because of her amazing musical iPhone skills. She tweets but even if the whole page is translated in English, I still can’t make of what she’s all about. I could get deeper in my research but I’m not going there. HAHA! I could wait a few days and someone will get the info we all need.
For now, all I can do is wait for her to post more videos.

Capoeira Glimpse
We had a capoeira photoshoot 2 weeks ago ’cause my professor wanted to use it for our group’s website. I am usually the designated photographer so you don’t see me much in photos. Unless I asked my husband to take a photo of me while I am in the roda.
My professor was making me do the Au Malandro in front of the camera. Since my camera is a fancy one, no one really touches it unless I give them permission to. At this time I didn’t give anyone permission. HAHA! I just put it on the tripod and set the timer. And the timer goes for 10 seconds.
In this photo, you can see.. how I failed to time it right.
