Survived.

Apparently my external hard disc came back to life. Managed to save and transferred some of my pictures into my macbook pro, not all though cos it died on me again after a few minutes. All of the pictures are 2-4 months old and some of them I haven't even edited. I seriously need to get it fix. A lot of good stuff I have in there, not just pictures I took but movies and also tv series which I've downloaded all of it myself.

So above are some of the pictures that survived. Taken in the month of may during the Kaamatan festival at my dad's hometown in Kuala Penyu. My cousin took part in the Unduk Ngadau competition. I was supporting her all the way. Try again next year my love :D

Another mommy portrait

I've been taking a lot of portraits lately and this is one of the pictures. I think this picture showed that I'm not really good with portraits :( Still have heaps of things to learn on how to take good pictures.

I am really thankful to have her as my mom and to me, she is a beautiful woman. We really look a like too! That's a good thing, isn't it (:

Old Town.

Went to Old Town White Coffee shop a few weeks ago with besties just to hang out and have dinner while waiting for the traffic jam to pass. I didn't have the appetite at that time so I just ordered cold coffee. Really had a great time and while we were there, we were the loudest bunch. As always. :)

Faces.

Marsha, the one who always have my back!

Jeniffer, quite annoying sometimes cos she's the youngest and mom and dad always take 

her side but I love her still. 

 Marcel, a brother that always disturb his sisters and always treat me as if

I'm his punching bag.

Mom, the woman who brought me out into this world and the most

beautiful woman on earth!

The Awesome aunt Tina! 

The Sarcastic but Cool aunt Suzanna. 

Sweet cousin Stephanie.

These portraitures was taken on Christmas Day since all of us were able to be together. We were chatting and relaxing while everybody was eating so I decided to take their picture. The room was quite dark but the window was open and this gave me the idea to do some CLS or Creative Lighting System. I only use sunlight and positioned them to sit by the window to get the right amount of sunlight shone to their face. 

A couple of Portraits.

Taken this monthss ago and totally forgot about these cos they were hidden in the 'vault' lol! I always said that taking portrait is my weakness but I do want to change that cos each and every people on this earth have their own uniqueness and beauty or handsome. :) Wanting to take more portraits in the future and yeah, I LOVE to challenge myself!!

Off to Labuan.

I did a post about her before and that was with our dog and this post I dedicate it to her alone. Been thinking about her very frequent lately since she's been contacting me a lot. Her finals are around the corner and that probably the reason why she was worrying and kept texting me in the middle of the night. As her older sister, I could only pray for her so that she would stay calm and do the best for her upcoming exam.
This photo was taken wayyy back in May while waiting for the big ferry from Menumbok to Labuan. Yes, she is a matriculation student and we ( family) are very proud of her!

Note: Taking portrait is my weakness but this one turns out okay. :D

The Justine Clan.

 Picking up shells at the beach

Mom joined in the fun

Went in to the water just to find shells

Dad with his serious expression

I present to you my family, The Justine. These photos were taken way back in the month of May. Went back to my dad's hometown, Kuala Penyu to celebrate 'Kaamatan' also known as Harvest Festival. Dad decided to bring us to Sawangan Beach a few days later, grandma was with us too but she's camera shy so didn't have the chance to take her portrait. The weather was fine, a little bit windy but it didn't rain. My little brother and youngest sister behaved that day, no shouting and fighting with each other like they always do so my parents could have their tranquility for a little while. The kids were playing and picking up shells, the grownups chit chat under a tree nearby, and I was busy taking pictures of the sceneries. Too bad my younger sister wasn't there with us, she actually went back to Labuan on exactly the same to continue her study. Matriculation's school break sucks, not long enough for us to spend quality family time together.

Edited the photos in B&W to give a pinch of dramatic effect.

Overall, the day was fun. It was nice to be at the beach once in a while.
