A Pink Tart

My name is Sesa.

I believe any recipe can be improved with salt or Nutella.

I prefer DC over Marvel.

And I am petite.

This is my scrapbook.

Leaving the office … now!

I am also taking home a bunch of Craigslist ads for roomies. Yes, I still want to move by the end of this summer. Although I don’t know if I will actually be able to do it, since I have grown rather fond of my tiny shack of a studio.

There are two big birthdays this weekend, we’re going dancing in Sac Town on Saturday and I have to present five photographs for my digital photography class on Monday. Hmm hmm, I only have one so far, and I will probably re-shoot it since my fingernails were not painted. (I am very particular.) I kind of have a theme mapped out, but as it develops it can go anywhere.

Also, I have traffic school. Boo.

A few months ago I visited the Legion of Honor to see a photography exhibit. As I was leaving, a man panned his camera with me. I stared him down a bit but let him take the shot. This was extremely rare for me, as I do not like other people taking my photograph.

Yesterday I thought of this moment randomly, and now I am interested to see how the photo turned out. I am currently stalking myself on Flickr.

If you see a picture of a little Asian woman in a pink and purple Hawaiian-print dress and shiny orange heels at the Legion of Honor, please let me know. pmpabalan at hotmail dot com.

Scorpions for Breakfast and Snails for Dinner

I’ve eaten octopus, balut and dog.

Kids don’t necessarily need to eat those things, but I think it’s important that they are introduced to different cuisines while they are still young. (Italian and Mexican foods don’t count, since they have been incorporated into our dinners through and through.)

Otherwise they will grow up to be severely finicky eaters who refuse to eat anything but bland, over-processed foods. I mean, there are still people out there who don’t like spinach. Why???

I just bought a new camera!

It should arrive in two weeks.

Coincidentally, today was the first day of six months’ worth of peanut butter-and-jelly-sandwich lunches. Hurrah!

I do not often do this, but these medium format photos are all really amazing, so I want you to have a look at the photography of Tokyo based Toshiya Watanabe. I could add any other picture to my favorites, but this one above I like the most.

This was shot on film with a Mamiya. Check out Watanabe’s other work by clicking the photo above. I am also growing fond of the square format.

Only one-sixth of Edna’s scrapbooking office!

I hope my downstairs neighbor

I hope my downstairs neighbor didn’t move out due to my Disney soundtracks on cleaning days.

Armband stretched had to sew tight. I’d rather knit.

New drying rack. I love using my tool box.
