Surreal world

Elena Kalis is a conceptual underwater photographer. She was born in Moscow (Russia) and have lived for the past ten years on a small island in Bahamas with her husband and two children. She had an education in art, but have recently been following her interest in Photography. Over the pat years, she have been doing some underwater projects with her children and friends. Some of her interest have been used for book, magazine and CD covers and have appeared in print magazines and online publications.

I stumbled upon looking her projects. Her brilliant interpretations makes the photos alive. I adore her works. Some of it has props used to give more effect on the subject. It's not easy to take pictures underwater but whenever I see this photos, it makes me feel the other way around. I wanna also give it a try however I don't have this underwater gadget. Dive into the surreal world of Elena Kalis on these sites Flickr, Facebook, and to her Gallery.

Morning Glory pool

A deep, funnel-shaped pool with a dark blue center resembles to the corolla and the color of Morning glory, where its name associated. It was given that title in 1883 by the wife of an assistant park superintendent. Just in recent, the pool has started to go by another name "Fading Glory". Temperature: 171.6 degrees F. Dimension: 23x26.6 feet. Depth: 23 feet. It has been a popular thermal feature at Yellowstone.

The delicate blue water is created by thermophilic bacteria, which thrive in the pool's searing heat. Long a ago, in Yellow National Park, The Morning glory suffers from the inconsiderate visitors who have thrown trash in the pool for over a century. This cause the slowly built up and blocked some of the thermal vents and reduced the heat of the pool, allowing the bacteria to begin at the edges, thus this creates the red and yellow ring around the pure blue water. Occasionally, often following seismic activity, the pool erupts in a geyser.

Love yourself

Why do I need Self-care? Isn't that selfish? If your asking that, consider Jesus' words in Matthew 19:19, "You shall love your neighbor as you love yourself." Most of us think that being selfish is bad. Actually it is important to our health. Let me share you something.
The thumb is you. Your index finger represents your parents. Middle finger for your mate. Ring finger for your children and lastly the little finger is for your job. You have the responsibilities to love and take care of these plus your friends right? But what if one day you exhausted or burnt out? Try using your hand without using your thumb. You'll found out that your hand is useless. No matter how hard you work, the hand falters. See? How will you able to give love if you yourself don't love yourself. Our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit therefore we should take care of it. Here are some ways that will help you manage that:

Eat healthy foods regularly. Such as fruits and vegetables. Poor diet can make you vulnerable to stress.
Get enough sleep. This enables your body to grow and heal. Lack of sleep can make you less productive, you'll not be able to handle stress and function well. Here are some ways on better sleep strategies.
Drink plenty of water. This will help you hydrate your skin and your body. It also eradicate toxins out of our body and helps on concentration.
Keep yourself clean. Dead skin cells are fine dining for the body bugs we host everyday. We wash because the bugs become toxic if unwashed which leads to other fungus.
Exercise regularly. Allocate time frame for this. It helps strengthen our physically and mentally being plus helps your body release endorphins, which increase your feelings of overall.
Have fun at least once a week. Everybody deserves to be happy. Don't stress out too much.
Have a good attitude. Always be positive.Test your self whether you are optimist or pessimist by taking this quiz. Discipline yourself as well. You know what is right from wrong and by doing this you know that these are the things that should be done.

"Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul." 3 John 1:2

Jesus heals you

"He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds" (Psalm 147:3)

Aren't you glad that God is a healer! It doesn't matter what is "broken" in your life today, God's nature is to bring you complete healing. Do you need healing in your body? Your mind? Heart? Finances? Relationships? God is your healer.

Notice what the Psalmist says int he verse: He binds up their wounds. In the natural, if you have a broken arm, it doesn't just heal over night. The doctor makes a cast to hold it in place and protect it. He binds up your wounds.In the spiritual realm, God does the same thing. He raps Himself around your brokenness and protects  the wounded area until it is strong enoough to function properly again.  The Bible says that He is a restorer. That means that when He does a work of healing in our lives, He makes us better than we were before. If you're going through the healing process today, know this: it may take longer than you planned, but God is binding up your wound.He is protecting you and healing yoou. He will bring you out better and stronger than you were before. He will take you to a place of complete healing so that you can live the life of victory He has in store for you.

Bye Summer

"We gotta go out before this summer ends". We just wanna have fun please before classes starts. So we made a plan. Almost 1 month, we were deciding to go out of town which at Subic but I assume it's not meant for us. Still, we need to try and try and so we ended up at Clark Airbase Everland resort. Never heard it before? Either most of us including me. It was Jahm's idea.

It's my long time dream to go joyride with my friends in a van!! 

The boys were really excited!! See! Lol

The girls!! 

Pio! I must say na nasulit nya yung bayad nya coz karating namen dun agad na syang nagbihis and went to swim. Hundred times syang nag d-diving board. He's so good at it! Lol

Yes! Nasuot din namen ni Pau ang longsleeve na swimwear namen. We were like swimmers for real! Lol

After this, we went to Jahm's house to continue our bonding moments. His family were very welcoming. They even prepared a dinner for us. I love them! 

P.S. Just to share, from now on I will use an Agfa effect on all photos.

And now, I would like to share my review on the sunglasses I got free from Firmoo.

I chose this model, under RX sunglasses. Let me give you a short detail why I love it.

It is a stylish sunglasses made from lightweight plastic so it is comfortable to use. See, those featherlike design on the front arms, they give elegance and uniqueness plus those curve on sides. It somehow gives confidence to the user.

It is a full framed. Mixed material. Has Great quality. Cost of $44.90 only.

It comes with a good package. As you can see, there is a micro fiber lens cloth, spectacle case, eyeglasses bags and also I'm surprised to have a dual ended screwdriver and extra crews for repair or maintaining purposes .

There you go! You can visit their website here. I'm sure you'll pretty love their collections too. There are many styles to choose from ;)

Tie Dye shirt

Tie-dyeing became fashionable in the West in the late 1960s and early 1970s as part of the hippie style. It is a way of creating patterns of color by folding, tying, crumpling and so on. In this way, you can determine your final design. The end result can be predicted and controlled to some extent but surprise is the part of what makes tie-dye an exciting and interesting art form that even a first timer like me can have great results with. A cool and fun experience for me. 

1) Old white t-shirt 2) Materials used plus hot water 3) Venus, a fast dyes. 4) Made sure of the place where I dye to keep it clean  5) Folded and tied the shirt 6) Applied the dye with random colors

I was very excited to make one so after I had all the materials completed even it was already late at night, I pursued to do tie-dyeing. In making this, it all depends on the instructions given on Dye powder solution. Not good, because of too much excitement, I wasn't able to follow other direction. But Art is an art. We are all artist, I tell you. So don't be afraid to make your own craft. 

Let each man exercise the art he knows.

Summer Diary 002

Dear Diary,

• Lately I'm busy doing other stuffs. I missed updating this blog so before things get piled up, I'm gonna share it.
• My brother and I aren't that close so I barely get to be with him in pictures + he hates taking photos of him. So I grabbed this moment though I looked like haggard. As you can see, he's playing with the inhaler of my cousin. Geez

• Next was the birthday of Jo. Not that one in the picture. Isa din yun sa ayaw sa camera kaya wala syang picture. We didn't actually celebrate because we planned to do it on Mother's day. On that day, nag piano lesson kame ng pinsan ko sa bahay lang. Thanks to Google for the help, I appreciate you! Still know the Sungka? Jumpshot fever rocks all the time!

• Next day, Youth gig with Mik and Marie since we miss it already. Birthday of Leiandro! so we went to their house and eat.
• Sunday was Mother's day and Jo's birthday celebration. We had a night swimming at Villa Alfredos. I was able to teach my younger brother to swim. Yehey! (feeling marunong ako, thank you PE class!)

• O yes! I got ticket on this coming youth camp sa HisLife city church! By grace, I had it! Everyone is excited and so am I. (I'm so excited and I just can't deny, ooooh!)

That's all! Bbye Diary!

Face off

What if I had a nose like this? HAHAHA. Checkout my faces on different mood! I mean, the eyes only. Lol. Just having fun.
