What is going on mates! hahah splash attack is back! I've been trying so hard to get my stuff to look better... I'm still not satisfied I tell you that.. haha I gotta love what I have... my d5000 is still not giving up on me. My warranty is over & it seems like my bad boy is getting old & it needs to get fixed :( but I'm thankful he stayed faithful ;) he's still breathing people!

And about this Juice? that night, Was our "Only Juice" daniel fast. I was flaunting it bcuz I was proud of it... Enjoy the Rest of the Pix!

glad I didn't save this on my external drive or else I won't be able to post this here... Anyway, Winter was crazy lately & yes, I don't really like being cold but I enjoyed the winter season bcuz they're truly beautiful! Spring is what I've been waiting for! will update you more often now! SPRING PLEASE HURRY! enjoy the rest of the pictures! CIAO!

I took a quick shot so I can capture that red stroller hahah You can tell that woman was upset :)

Sunset I cannot forget

Hello people... welcome to this world of mine lol I'm just glad I found all these pictures in my memory card. Sad to say but my external drive is broken & someone is nursing him right now. Hopefully the com-tech will be able to restore my files (cross-fingers)

Feelin happy- wow, I only have few words to say & this image is really breath-taking. I enjoyed the sunset. The most amazing thing was, I was with my loving boyfriend...

heading to IKEA- before I jumped in the jeep, I thought I should shoot this moment & it turned out fancy.

YEA RIGHT! we're completely opposite. He only shop for specific stuff he needed. He wanted to get tubs for his clothes & a bookshelves.

meet my sunshine... he's always in action hahaha food is his best budd ^^,

We ate before going around IKEA. Their food is just sooo yummylish! We can eat there forever haha

so here we go... I designed his room. I found the hangin light at Ikea's sales area & it was only $7, the curtain- $6 each Basically, I picked everything for him hahaha he almost changed his mind about the curtains cuz he thinks it won't fit in his room. I know exactly what fits his room. And I proved it to him.

Oh by the way, the vase was his brother's design & the painting, ofcourse, my nathanael is an artist & he painted this i think he said he was in highschool...

I even organized his books LOL glad I get to help him. Oh you know the story about this shelves? we argued about the colors. I told him, he needs white in his room cuz first,

1. His room is tiny/small

2. His room is dark

3. White is very attractive & clean

and wow! it took a lot of convincing. BUT EY! again, I won! hahaha and he saw the great result.

photo manipulation

hello mates! Here's a lil meal I would love to put on your plates... meet my lil Kentucky brother! JOSH! he's a youth pastor of one20culture at the living word church. Ok so, I've decided to manipulate his picture cuz I know he's been wanting to see his cool pix haha I hope I'll make him happy tonight!

I took this pic and yea It wasn't the best bcuz I've never use studio lightings when I shoot. Carmel Rich -Josh's mom (I call her mama carmel) lend me her mad rad canon & studio gear & oh my! I got addicted & wanted to learn everything hahaha I usually do outdoor shots. I have so much things to catch up when it comes to photography & so as photoshop but I'm getting there... I'm very patient learning about new things. YES I'm a photoshop FREAK!

so please enjoy this picture & see the before & after image :)

FRENCH TOAST LET'S GIVE IT A TOAST

shortfilm I made last night... My boyfriend visited me at my place & again, he wanted to be my chef lol he told me before that he was craving for a French toast haha dinner/breakfast indeed.

Wow he did awesome! I told him to add strawberries cuz I heart strawberries. He's so sweet! That night was amazing! I cut his hair after we had dinner then while cutting his hair, we watched Mr. Brainwash story/documentary haha

After cutting his hair, We prayed together.

He gave me 3 toast & I can't eat them all! lol but they are really delish! HE CAN COOK!

So today, No meat, No rice. Thank God for this yummilicious French Toast. I told my boyfriend that I will make French toast again for lunch. Lol

Don't hate when I create

Tears- is it real? Ans: No. I used photoshop to paint it...

Eye shadows-is it real? Ans: No.

Make up on the cheek- is it real? Yes.

hahaha don't be scared... I don't have mental problem. I just want to express myself & show you that I have energy and power to cast out my enemies! and my... ummm insecurities.

This image has something to do with my everyday battle. I've learned not to look for what I can see but look for what I can't see. -Faith & Seeking- That's what I do everyday. Don't get me wrong, It is not easy. Sometimes I have to swallow the pain & pretend nothing happened. I have to enjoy what I don't really enjoy, turn around & leave or sacrifice what I want.

I like being just as Joy Salera but I feel like sometimes, I'm a different person. Especially when I raise my hands, close my eyes & Just meditate with God.

But as soon as I touch my cam'ra, BOOM! haha here comes JOY SALERA AND HER CAM'RA!
