Blondie!

My little sis finally went to dye her white hair!!! :D
She has had white hair since she was 13. Well, now she's a blondie. Suits her good I think.

I was thinking about going blond myself but my first experience went sour and I told myself: never again! Perhaps, in the future I'll revisit the idea at another hair salon but for now, I will wait. My brother says that burgundy hair suits me well. I think I agree with him but until I have a full time job, I won't touch my hair. Dying hair is creating oneself needs. :P But then, shopping for your 15th pair of shoes is also creating unnecessary needs. He. He.

Cheers until next time,
Rina

While cleaning my external hard drives, I found this old picture in my Applied Studio class folder. This was our final exam in our 3rd semester.

Only one source of light was used in this image. 1 flash head connected to a power pack. Look closely, you might see my lighting setup in the red Christmas ball. Anyhow, I entitled it as my picture #12 of 30 because I just edited it. :D

Hope you like it.

Trianon???

What the heck you might say. What are these red pills?

I had no idea until today: Trianon makes you go poopy! Lol.
They aren't mine if that's what you are wondering. I thought they make cool pictures because they are red and their texture is like jello. Ha! :)

I was looking for my acid reflux medicine when I subtled upon many expired medications so I decided to clean. More than half the crap went in the can because they were expired in 2008.

Our cough medicine was no longer liquid! Yak! So anyhow, enjoy the pics.

Cheers,
Rina




My acid reflux medicine. (Prevacid)

Alaf Harami: Pisenlits!

They're everywhere!!! Les crisses de pisenlits! Dandelions, that is!
My dad likes to call them alaf harami in persian which translates to bastard herbs. Lol!

Today, I've decided to help him in the garden. I kid you not when I say that 75% of the garden's surface is covered with these bastard herbs! Hehehe. After 45 minutes of retrieving dandelions, I had an hypoglycemia and my dad, the worrywart that he is, told me to go inside and lay down. After 4 hours, my dad was forced to stop his activities because it started to rain outside. While getting my sugar boost, I was inspired to take some pictures.

It's harder than it looks. You need to have some upper body strength. We bought the actual tool to remove these flowers but it's no good. It shreds your soil and ruins the grass. My dad and I both agreed that his method is way better. Plus, since we are removing these flowers from the root, we are guaranteed that they won't grow back.

Enjoy the pictures!





My dad's hands hard at work.




Gotcha! From the root!


Our garbage pile.

Cheers until next time,
