The Lack of Motivation, Talent, Passion, Etc.

PHOTOGRAPHY CHALLENGE:

Without leaving your bedroom, try to take 5 interesting photographs. The goal of this challenge is to enhance your skills by taking ordinary objects and making them look as if they’re more than what they are.

Basically, I have to take photographs inside my room to challenge my photography skills or something. The thing is, I’m a lazy person and I just often take photos of stuff nearest to me. Yes, sometimes while I’m lying on my bed with a book in hand.  So yes, I’ve taken so  much photos inside my room already even though it’s so small that there’s not much to see.

That’s why I think photography isn’t really for me. To take good photos sometimes you need to exert effort and effort isn’t really something I often have. Also, it needs creativity to avoid repetitive photos and subjects (BOOKS LULZ)  and I always think I’m not creative enough. I still tried this challenge, though, and I almost gave up. I do wish I’m better at photography. I want to take photos anywhere and anytime without having someone ask me gazillion questions about photography. I specifically abhor it when someone asks me whether I’m good. How am I supposed to answer that?

52 Books: January Books

February 11, 2011

I intended to post this about two weeks ago but time didn’t allow me (obviously). I also intended to write down my thoughts for each book after reading it but I’m afraid I forgot about it, too. Or I got too lazy to do it. I intended to do a lot of things, actually, but I didn’t really put in much effort. The good thing, however, is that I managed to read five books last month. I’m keeping track of my progress in Goodreads. It’s kind of nice to see how I’ve been doing. It’s also nice that I have a goal because I usually don’t have one. Heh.

I’m just not sure if January was a good month for reading. I read some good books, but none stirred me enough. I am not really a book critic, and sometimes most of the time, I feel like I don’t really understand what I’m reading. So I just usually base my judgment on the level of enjoyment I felt when reading and how much I was affected in a good way.

1. Stardust by Neil Gaiman

I’ve watched the movie a long time ago so I pretty much forgot what happened already. It’s good that I had forgotten, though. I liked the book. Not loved it because I think it’s too short. But Neil Gaiman is Neil Gaiman and I like how it feels as if I’m just reading a fairytale. His book has this “magical tone”. I don’t really know what to call it.

I just think the book’s a little rushed. Maybe it’s because I love details and though there are details, it’s not enough (for me, anyway). A lot has happened but everything just seemed to happen too quickly. I still like it, though. I should definitely rewatch the movie. [Read more…]

Hello, I'm Janey. I'm a fangirl, a bookworm, a dreamer and a wannabe writer. I'm a couch potato and a traveler rolled into one.
This is my lame attempt to be a travel blogger, but honestly, this is just an archive of my daily reality.
