This is Mickey Mouse. That should be obvious enough!

But! - This Mickey isn't just any ordinary Mickey.

Mickey was given to me last year during my one month stint in the hospital by my doctor, Dr. N.

Dr. N is well-known not only for being an expert in his field, but also for his friendliness and for being such an understanding doctor. You can easily tell that he does what he does not for the money; he sincerely wants to help his patients recover, get cured and resume normal lifestyles.

After my stem cell transplant, he gave me this plush toy as a form of support. He gave Minnie to a 14-year-old girl (she should be turning 15 this year) who was diagnosed with leukimia. (Hope she's doing much better now.)

Going through many discomforts and pain caused by the side effects then besides feeling lonely, Mickey was and still is a great comfort to me in my journey to recovery.

I may be 18 going on 19 soon, but my inner child certainly is grateful for the gift.

As for the older me, I definitely appreciate the gesture and am enjoying the chance to relive my childhood memories.

Words are certanly not enough to express my gratitude, but sincerely...

I thought about starting this blog to properly start on Project 365 and to train my photography skills. Since I’m already at it, why not make it a photography blog as well? Most of my work is still very amateurish though, so please bear with me!

I’m open to all kinds of photography. I started dabbling in photography due to a strong interest in fashion photography and artistic shoots. Besides that, I like taking photos of flowers, plants, cats, architecture, natural landscapes, and basically anything that intrigues me. I also enjoy taking photos of people; my friends, especially – capturing candid moments are absolutely priceless.

I’m still an amateur photographer. Honestly, there are many terms in photography jargon that I still find hard to understand. I’m up for new knowledge anytime though! (Before you ask, I just want to let my readers know that I do make the effort to experiment with a camera’s settings in taking new shots instead of depending too much on Auto mode.)

I personally don’t watermark my photos; I feel that watermarks ruin the overall look of my photos, hence me uploading them in their original states. I trust whoever that stumbles upon this humble blog of mine to not steal my photographs and instead enjoy my work as they are. If you would really like to use any of my photographs, it would be nice if you could contact me and tell me beforehand; please credit me as well!

Unless stated otherwise, all photographs are:
1. Mine.
2. Not edited.
3. Taken by a Canon Digital IXUS 95 IS.

I’m aiming to try out lomography when I can. I’ll work for my own DSLR and will only get it when I’m more skilled in handling a camera manually.

I would like to be involved in future projects with interesting/meaningful/artistic themes!
