Maybe I Just Miss You




"Lying in my bed my bed again and I cry 'cause you're not here.
Crying in my head again 'cause I know that it's not clear.
Put your hands inside my face and see that it's just you.
And its bad, and its mad, and it's making me sad.
Because I can't be with you......
........'cause you're not here....."





At first I thought of just taking a picture of the notebook, marker and teddy.... but because of the color of the bed spread and of what I was wearing...I thought of joining in. Hehe. But this shot wasn't really made from above the bed. I was figuring out how to position the camera to make it appear as though the shot was taken from above....but because my head started to hurt (due to the unbearable load of thinking)... I cleverly put all the stuff on the floor and put the tripod with the camera on the bed. 10-second self-timer was hard to use because I kept on jumping from the bed to the floor, and I was hearing complaints from the first floor (they thought I was doing something crazy as I usually am). But after about 20 shots..... I finally decided to stop...my poor cardiovascular system might give in haha. So I just picked this one out. Then I made some adjustments on the photo's hue, contrast and colors to make it more vibrant. Because I forgot to remove the cam's white balance from 'cloudy', I had a hard time adjusting the levels.


In case nobody understands the hiragana scribbles.... It's my name in Japanese. I know I should have used Katakana, but this just looks better. ;P





This was taken at our family hall (whatever, masyado nga yun maliit to be called that hahaha) Anyway, it's the only place in the house which has a white wall without obstructions.

The concept is clear and is written in very bold letters on a piece of bond paper. All details are on the picture.

It was hard using the auto focus mode on a plain area because it does not focus at all!!! So I figured to use manual focusing. I was supposed to wear something colorful to compensate the 'whiteness' of the background but.... we haven't done the laundry yet...hahaha. Major adjustment on saturation and contrast during editing.

"....and I miss you; Don't you miss me? I just don't know where to start. Its like when I'm without you things just fall apart..."

On the Cover

Modeling Stint
If Anne and I would look like this in the future, I'd laugh for 24 hours. I think I look gay. And if ever this magazine was really for sale, the topics aren't interesting enough. Hahahahaha.
