Current Fav. Photographer : Nicholas Mendise

This is the particular photograph that I was instantly drawn to while randomly flipping through some magazine.

I was browsing through the magazines in Target today with my boyfriend just to kill time and I stumbled upon a beautiful photograph in either Vogue or Harper's Bazaar magazine by Nicholas Mendise. It was apparently the winning photograph for the 2011 Hearst 8x10 Photography Biennial, which is a huge contest for the photography community as the winners are chosen by world famous photographers, editors, art directors, and museum curators. (so yeah it's kind of a big deal contest) Not only that, but the winner's works will be "published and included in the Hearst 8x10 Photography Biennial show." I didn't have time to look over the entire article but I managed take a quick iphone picture of that particular page just to obtain the picture and his name. When I got home I searched him on google and found his official website ( http://nicholasmendise.com/ ). His pictures are so lovely. Definitely check out his website for more!

JUNE 2012 from femininmystique on 8tracks.

UPDATE: June 18

Just thought I should share what I've been doing lately...

So a week ago I got my wisdom teeth removed and for the whole week I basically stayed home recovering from it. My cheeks were double the size. I got called chipmunk and baby face, but really it was not a pleasant sight. Honestly, I was super excited to get them pulled out because I find these things to be cool, but unfortunately I got knocked out from anesthesia and after the whole thing I didn't remember any part of the surgery. I was a bit disappointed when I woke up. I've heard from others that wisdom teeth extractions are painful and stuff. The only pain I felt during the whole process (surgery and recovery) was getting the anesthesia in my body (because I am terrified of needles) and a few hours after the surgery my teeth hurt extremely.... but that was about it. The only discomfort was not being able to eat whatever I want, as I was only limited to soft foods like yogurt and soup. Anyways, I am back to normal pretty much.

During that week all I did at home was watch all the episodes of Skins. It was pretty good! I have to admit though I only really liked the first two seasons. The third and fourth were my least favorite because the characters were just annoying, especially Effy. I hate her "mysterious girl"/"I'm to cool for you" act. Furthermore, Season 4 also had a bad ending... I mean is it really necessary to have some nonsense psycho psychologist (oh the irony) that murders Freddie (the cute one). Not to mention the ambiguous endings OMG that pisses me off. It's understandable when the next season continues their story .. but when you're ending the whole story of that season what is the point of having that kind of ending. MY GOODNESS. Season 5 & 6 were decent. At least it wasn't filled with unnecessary sex scenes like the previous seasons.

Here are a few pictures of Cassie (Hannah Murray) because she was my favorite character!

This is the life.

Did I tell you I went to the Two Door Cinema Club Concert?

and that it was the best concert ever (even if it was the only concert I've been to)? 

and that seeing Sam Halliday in person made me like him more? 

and that Alex looks like an angel when he sings with his eyes closed?

and that Kevin looks adorable rockin out on his bass? 

... I sound like a creep, but this is what happens when you get to see them from like 5 feet away. Can't help it... they're just the best band ever.

Anyways here's a video I made of the massive amount of pictures and recordings I  took during the concert.

Overall, it was an amazing experience and I would definitely go to their concert again. TDCC is AMAZINGGGG live. No words to describe how good it was. The whole atmosphere was so stress relieving too.

Going to this concert made me want to go to more concerts in the near future, like the people from Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist haha jk
