12.2.10 Neville

I noticed much later, I needed to adjust the width in order to post these. A little about the name of my dog: I was going to name my dog Neville after Neville Longbottom in Harry Potter, but my mom couldn't really pronounce it. Then after watching Part 1 of the final series, the Deathly Hallows, I wished I named him Dobby. Then again, when I got him, I had wished I named him all sorts of names. Instead, Porkchop came from a cartoon I used to watch when I was younger called "Doug."

Anyways, my new toy came in the mail. The first lens I've bought for my camera. And thus, came Neville, whom I have decided to call my camera. We've had each other since around the beginning of summer. It was partly a gift from my mom and myself when I graduated college. Although he is quite clunky to tote around, I'm having fun with him. And now that I got this new lens, I'm going to have even more fun! Especially this weekend, where it's December Nights (formerly Christmas on the Prado, until the term Christmas became politically incorrect) at Balboa Park. I hope I'll even get to go. It's really fun, and I haven't been there since maybe middle school.. From what I remember is that it's mainly the museums in Balboa Park are going to be free. There's food and hot chocolate. And from what I remember, a beautiful sort of Christmas type of procession where everyone stopped just to watch.

10.27.2010 Beauty Before and After

I have this really important appointment tomorrow and have been attempting to put on my best face. Not to mention, I just wanted to use some of the makeup products I just bought to use. I didn't really want to use a heavy foundation today so I applied a powder foundation instead. And I think for tomorrow, I might just use a light amount of liquid makeup. While taking pictures of my face, I thought I had some awkward poses, but then check out my freckles! They're insane and I love them! I feel like that picture of them is so dull without flash and you know, when I first got my camera (a Nikon D5000), the first picture I took was of my face. I might post it one day even though it's a little embarrassing. (Although, I think I'm getting over that). Well, my camera's quality is so intense with a flash that the quality of my freckles and blemishes was so clear. One day, I'll probably even post one of the freckles on my lips.

I used my new Revlon Skinlights cream shadows and my Wet N Wild Greed palette. Oh goodness, I seriously need to tame my unruly eyebrows.
