Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in getting up every time we do.<br />
- Confucius <br />
<br />
Now that I look back, I'm terribly upset at myself that I did not accomplish half of the things I wanted to do last summer. The time spent waiting and waiting just got lost and withered away. Even though the failings and the falls hurt, it is getting back up that matters most. So this summer shall be different. I'm going to make a list and actually plan for it rather than just waiting spontaneously for the right moment because sometimes those right moments don't necessarily come at you. A lot of the times, we must create a situation for the moment to occur in. And of course, planned events run much smoother and are more likely to happen than spontaneous ones.<br />
<br />
Summer has not yet officially begun so we still have plenty of time to plan ideas and events. Do you all have your fabulous summer plans and events set?<br />

This was taken a few days before we had a few inches of snow. I was starting to get worried that it was already January and there was no snow on the ground, but temperatures dropped and snowflakes fell. Even so, there's has been relatively little snow compared to past winters. But perhaps that's a good thing for now since I have yet to get some snow boots.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107857697917033703.post-9718123875183750062012-01-13T12:39:00.000-06:002012-01-13T12:39:25.376-06:00A Time For Change<img border="0" src="http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/944/64573975.jpg" style="margin-bottom: -11px; margin-left: -10px;" /><br />

I decided to change the blog just a bit because a little change is good. It's not to my complete liking but I'm rather lazy to learn the CSS codes so this will do for now. And I also changed the blog title as well. I feel that .cacophonic musings encompasses my thoughts and interests more than my former title, which was not personable at all. <br />
<br />
What's new for 2012? The biggest thing is I've started the 365 Project, but I have been sick so I haven't uploaded the first few photos of 2012 until now. If you're not familiar with it, it's basically you take a picture every day and then upload it. By taking a picture every day, you can allow yourself to see things from different perspective and to ultimately improve your composition and photographs. Of course, many people garner different experiences from this project, but I hope this will be my experience. You can check out this project at my flickr.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107857697917033703.post-45839079040083157432011-11-23T10:08:00.000-06:002011-11-23T10:08:26.331-06:00Happy Thanksgiving!!!<img border="0" src="http://img839.imageshack.us/img839/9136/32728881.jpg" style="margin-bottom: -11px; margin-left: -10px;" /><br />

There's quite a bit of photos in this post, but I couldn't help myself. The weather this weekend was simply gorgeous and the lighting was just perfect. We went strolling through Olbrich Gardens, which consists of several smaller gardens. My favorite would have to be the Rose Garden because the roses are just lovely when they're in bloom.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107857697917033703.post-38839635213563824652011-10-07T11:42:00.000-05:002011-10-07T11:42:49.186-05:00A Kaleidoscope of Rainbows<img border="0" src="http://img717.imageshack.us/img717/2746/42326445.jpg" style="margin-bottom: -11px; margin-left: -10px;" /><br />

I can't believe autumn is here and almost gone. Where did all those summer days go? They come and go like the life of a dandelion. The golden flower turns into a white cloud and the seeds disperse with a breath of wind. Just like summer, where the leaves suddenly change color. The wind suddenly a little cooler. The air not as sweet. All that remains are soft and light hazy dreams filled with endless laughter and warmth.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107857697917033703.post-6565607966500735522011-09-19T19:55:00.000-05:002011-09-19T19:55:11.522-05:00A Summer Scent Lingers<img border="0" src="http://img851.imageshack.us/img851/9827/001ynn.jpg" style="margin-bottom: -11px; margin-left: -10px;" /><br />

I just recently upgraded my internet so I'm terribly sorry about not updating this blog in so long. I just had basic internet before which I was too impatient to wait and upload photos and such so I have just been putting it off until now. <br />
<br />
I'm not too fond of the color in this set of photos, but it was one of those overcast days with clouds most of the time and then a snippet of sun. But I have to say that I love this dress! It totally reminds me of an Edwardian dress, minus the high collar, long sleeves, and puff sleeves (on some styles). It's a perfect summer dress to frolick in the fields with.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107857697917033703.post-90884319337954871712011-07-20T15:03:00.000-05:002011-07-20T15:03:52.956-05:00A Bittersweet Taste<img border="0" src="http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/3909/02am.jpg" style="margin-bottom: -11px; margin-left: -10px;" /><br />

It's only about two and half more weeks until we will be moving into our new apartment. A bittersweet taste is left behind. I am going to miss the walks along the lake and running along the trails in the forest when the sun is about to set and the heat settles like layers of dust. But most of all, I am going to miss this place of which we have called home for two years. Home is not simply a place, but one where boundless memories are created and where happiness, love, and sadness lingers. Change is inevitable for things must transform for the future to come. But a home can be anywhere, in a bustling city or in a cottage by the sea or a cabin in the forest, because a home is more than a place.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107857697917033703.post-36276489821977976492011-07-11T11:00:00.000-05:002011-07-11T11:00:22.398-05:00Sprinkles of fairy dust in a summer's glow<img border="0" src="http://img829.imageshack.us/img829/2440/001wwd.jpg" style="margin-bottom: -11px; margin-left: -10px;" /><br />

We took these pictures really late evening so I thought they would be too dark, but the light turned out to be amazing! I really need to invest in a tripod and remote soon so I can have some pictures of me and the boy. My little brother came to visit us for a week so we were lucky to get these shots from him. And I don't know if you can tell, but I definitely have a farmer's tan. My arms and calves are darker than my face (due to wearing long skirts and hats). <br />
<br />
I hope you all are enjoying summer and the beautiful weather!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107857697917033703.post-26378935350228505922011-06-29T12:51:00.000-05:002011-06-29T12:51:50.685-05:00Sultry Evenings<img border="0" src="http://img802.imageshack.us/img802/2831/001qz.jpg" style="margin-bottom: -11px; margin-left: -10px;" /><br />

<br />
Trickles of salty sweat slivers down the nape of my neck as I stand on the edge of the pier looking at the picturesque pristine lake in front of me. The sapphire water glistens under the sweltering summer sun. With each slight puff of the scorching July breeze, the shimmering light would coquettishly frolic from one speck of water to another, dancing until the lake scintillated and shimmered like a thousand raw jagged diamonds. <br />
<br />
I take a deep breath and the pungent aroma of prickly pine trees, so heady and succulent, engulfs my senses. The biting scent tickles my nostrils while the dry air parches moisture from my lungs. <br />
<br />
Thin sharp needles of heat soon greet me, piercing through my thin cotton sundress. To cool off, I dip my feet into the lake and feel tepid tresses of velvety liquid caress around my toes. A small sigh of contentment escapes my lips as my feet playfully swirl with the water. Swoosh, swish, swoosh. My feet flicks up and the water ripples like a beating drum. Fast thumps that soon hushes.<br />
<br />
The scorching sun was relentless in her rage and I soon gave in. Taking off my dress, I plunge into the gleaming lapis waters. Darkness echoes around me like a bittersweet symphony as I let myself sink, deeper and deeper into the endless dark abyss. My lungs start to burn, my heart starts to pound, my ears start to ring. I pull my arms up. My feet pedal upwards, faster and faster. Harder and harder. Gasp! I push to the surface and take a big gulp of air. The sharp scent of the pine trees meet me once again.<br />
<br />
As the roaring fire in my lungs calmed and the throbbing of my heart dulled, I float on my back and close my eyes, listening to the soft soothing lullaby of the waves dancing against me.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107857697917033703.post-40647216757732753342011-06-27T11:39:00.001-05:002011-06-27T11:41:54.009-05:00I Carry Your Heart...<img border="0" src="http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/8951/001kus.jpg" style="margin-bottom: -11px; margin-left: -10px;" /><br />

I carry your heart with me (I carry it in my heart) <br />
I am never without it (anywhere I go you go, my dear; <br />
And whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling)<br />
<br />
I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet ) <br />
I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)<br />
And it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant<br />
And whatever a sun will always sing is you<br />
<br />
Here is the deepest secret nobody knows (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud<br />
And the sky of the sky of a tree called life; <br />
Which grows higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)<br />
And this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart<br />
<br />
I carry your heart (I carry it in my heart)<br />

I finally checked out some reading books I've been meaning to read: <i>The Bell Jar</i> (Sylvia Plath), <i>East of Eden</i> & <i>Grapes of Wrath</i> (John Steinbeck), and <i>Dreams From My Father</i> (Obama). I'm starting with <i>The Bell Jar</i> and I think I'm going to use many quotes from there. It seems like such a haunting and eloquent read so far, which tend to be my favorite reads. <br />
<br />

I've noticed that pretty much all of my blog posts have been of me in a skirt or dress so I decided to do one wearing pants. Yes, I do occasionally wear pants, mostly in the colder days of Autumn and Spring and Winter, but if it's warm enough then I usually live in skirts and dresses. I just love the texture of dresses, whether it be the soft, cool caress of cotton or the luxurious feel of silk. <br />
<br />
And I swear, I am getting addicted to polka-dot prints this year. I just bought two playsuits from Goodwill and both are polka-dots! I am quite excited to wear them as I've never donned on a playsuit before because of my short stature. But they didn't look too shabby in the dressing room. <br />
<br />

I turned 22 yesterday! It wasn't much fun since I couldn't do much because I was sick with a sore throat. When I woke up I was barely able to speak. My voice was so hoarse, it sounded quite scary to my ears. I really want to do a small barbecue and eat s'mores and tell ghost stories around the campfire this Friday, but we'll see how my throat feels.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107857697917033703.post-38631522361858177202011-05-31T11:29:00.001-05:002011-05-31T11:37:24.491-05:00Waves Crashing Against the Shore<img border="0" src="http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/6075/75654417.jpg" style="margin-bottom: -11px; margin-left: -10px;" /><br />

Hello lovelies! I hope you all are doing fabulous and having tons of fun with your summers. And I hope you all had a great Memorial Day! I have my first job as a photographer this weekend so I'm quite excited. It's a family celebration so it's nothing fancy but I'm still giddy about it. It's nice to be appreciated for what you love doing.<br />
<br />
Other than that, I'm still just lazying around. My mum is quite busy fixing up the house so I haven't gotten around to sewing (or attempting to sew) a dress yet. This will be my second time touching a sewing machine so I'm not comfortable using it yet without supervision. I think I'd probably freak out if something snagged or broke so I'll be waiting for my mum.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107857697917033703.post-75989099517105526232011-05-19T15:05:00.000-05:002011-05-19T15:05:34.351-05:00Oh Summer<img border="0" src="http://img821.imageshack.us/img821/8515/45923701.jpg" style="margin-bottom: -11px; margin-left: -10px;" /><br />

<br />
Hello lovely readers. Sorry I have been MIA for a bit as I've been quite bummed about not receiving the summer job I wanted. I know that you can't get everything and that there will be ups and downs with some doors closing and others opening. But at the same time, rejection still hurts. <br />
<br />
To cheer myself up, I have made a summer-to-do list (not in any particular order).<br />
<ul><li>Take at least one photo each day</li>
<li>Learn how to sew a dress</li>
<li>Study for the GRE</li>
<li>Sew a few dresses</li>
<li>Practice video shooting</li>
<li>Shoot at least one short film</li>
<li>Go on a trip to New York</li>
<li>Go canoeing </li>
<li>Read books I've been wanting to read</li>
<li>Go see the last Harry Potter film in theater</li>
<li>Work out daily</li>
</ul><br />
One thing I'm going to really look forward to doing is reading. I haven't been able to read any books I wanted since there's so much reading with schoolwork already so book reading will be a summer delight. Yes, I'm a total bookworm. I can totally get lost in a book, which is sometimes more fulfilling than a film because it's all in my imagination. Have any of you stayed up all night just to read because the book is too good to put down? That is the sign of a bookworm and a good book.<br />
<br />
And another thing, I cannot wait for the last Harry Potter film! Anyone else planning to see this? I have not read the books because I saw the movies first so I think it would ruin the books for me. I dislike knowing what's going to happen because it just ruins the suspense. But yes, the last part seems so intense and full of tragic and bittersweet endings. "Can't wait!" (If you know where I got that quote from, thumbs up.)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com10
