Yes, school. You read it right. Why would anyone want to go back to school? I’ll just say I’m weird and leave you scratching your heads. Hey, you would have to admit, school was one of the best years of your life. And I have to admit I am having a blast with this school life!

But that’s not what I’m gonna write about. School means getting spring breaks as well. And I’m doing mine in Vegas! Yes, VEGAS! That’s where my family lives.

Sad thing that I can’t really parteeeh (note the tone baby). No one to go out with. Hu hu hu. Capital party place of the world, but no party for me. Sucks!

Anyway, I still get to be Vegas even without the partying. As soon as I landed, I put on my sunglasses and be one with Vegas.

Huwala! Paris Hilton, eat your heart out.

It’s a really big change. From being just a photo blog into a “real” blog. Reality may be overrated but so far it has been surreal for me. So here we are. You’re still reading so that means you don’t mind at all. LOL!

So what am I going to talk about here. Well, life (like you haven’t have enough of it already), the reality and insanity of it probably. I promise I won’t lose the photos. I’ll still upload one whether the entry is a personal one or just a photo entry.

Speaking of which, I apologize (again) for the lack (or absence) of updates. I didn’t really stop taking phone photos. In fact, I kinda gone overboard with it with me getting an iPhone. Diverting from the original theme of this blog to not postprocess phone picture (that’s a lot of P’s), I remain true to my “mobile-ness” by sticking to postprocessing on the phone. Since I have an iPhone, I got myself a lot of apps which is a lot of fun, fun, fun!

So far I haven’t posted much iPhone photos yet. I’ll post one now. Tell me what you think (both of you).

I hope this isn’t a bad change for you. As for me, I’ve gained lots of English-reading friends (LOL) who I may not see after 7 months. This is one way of staying in touch and hoping that they read enough to comment. LOL!

Well ’til next time.

Air conditioner vent. I loved the lines of the vent and how they contrast to the chaos of the vandals on one side of the vent. I figured it might just work with a lomo effect and it did.

These pebbles were shot just below the famous Iwakuni Kintai-kyou bridge. They are only ordinary pebbles but still pretty to look at as they contribute to the landscape of the river.

Read about Iwakuni and its bridge here.

This cube is supposed to be some bizarre aquarium. The white spots and shapes are the fish. They float around and swim aroun like normal fish do, except when you touch the cube. They will then swim to that place and wiggle around in that area until you let go of the cube.

Neat huh? The cube become other colors as well.

You can find this cube by the JR Shinjuku west exit between the Keio mall and the Odakyu mall.

This was on the turtle sanctuary of the Hamamatsu beach, where endangered loggerhead turtles can safely lay their eggs. Today was one of the days the newly-hatched turtles were released to sea. We got to release them and they were soooo cute.

The eggs will hatch just before the sun sets. The sunset was beautiful. Even just using a phone camera, this beauty captured.

A great reflection of the blue sky. This group of buildings was a project of projecting or converting into a much more modern Nishi-Shinjuku. (Well, not really a project, more of a trend.)

While Nishi-Shinjuku, as a part of Shinjuku, is also brimming with salarymen and companies, it’s not exactly the prettiest part of Shinjuku. LOL!

You can’t see it here, but the building I was standing on is an old gray business building with pebbled finish. Still part of the Nishi-Shinjuku of before.

Didn’t really like shooting the sunset with buildings’ silhouette. This was shot just below a hill to hide the modern scenery. Hehe.

Autumn scarlet sky. The Japanese call these clouds  fish scale clouds because they look like fish scales (duh). They only come out during autumn so LUCKY!

Like, no way?!

Colorful arrows along the station. I was hoping for a bit more movement but moving walkway is moving waaayy too sloooowww…
