"i hate my photo being taken",
said the lady serving the coffee.
I had an off day and that's all i wanted to do. But I wanted to do it differently this time.
To me, photos are meant to document experiences, good or bad. When I dive into my hard drive, it's a time machine that makes me super emotional. Sadly, all the photos I took in 2004-2005 were lost, all due to a faulty hard drive.
So that day was my only day off in the whole semester, and I wanted to document it. Unfortunately I only made that decision after a fantastic lunch at Threefold with a dear friend.
I decided to buy a copy of THE BIG ISSUE for the first time. I have always wanted to, don't know why I never got to it.
Meet Nigel. It was his first time selling The Big Issue at Lt Collins/Swanston Sts. I didn't really have much to talk with him about, but I hope I had an impact on him that day, however tiny it may be.
Then it was off to reading it along with a cuppa.
I have been longing to go back to this place for ages, cuz it never opens on weekends and it usually closes pretty early in the 3rd hour of the afternoon.
I never do this, but I thought it'd be fantastic to have the people that made your day what it was in your photos. So I breathed a deep breath, turned back to the counter and said, "erm..... could I.... take a photo with you guys?".
This was after I took a photo with Nigel, so I already had a tiny bit of experience.
Okay, not really. It wasn't like I had any particular reason to do so. Awkward faces all around, snap snap, thank you, run!
Then it was all waist level photography. Many were rejects, but many were FANTASTIC TOO!
And this is my favourite.
On the way to uni to get some work done, I saw a crew filming at the garden on University Square. I stood there in awe of all the equipment, and how they transformed the Melbourne Uni ITC building into a full blown hospital. AMAZING. I went up to the extras and they explained to me that they were filming for "Winners and Losers", the Aussie tv series. (He also specified that it's on channel 7, looks like they're very well paid).
Looks like I'm really bad at self shots though, they all turned out blurry.
It was a good day.

western buds
Had one of the WORST headaches of my life last night, cuz I thought I could get through the day without a coffee. I was sweating and shaking profusely, felt like puking and it felt like my head could explode. I was trying to control my breaths steadily cuz everytime my heart pumped faster, my head pounded harder. Thankfully, I woke up with it all gone. Praise God.
After sending Alicia off to work, I called sis up for breakfast but was rejected due to unforseen circumstances. Haha. That's what we always wrote in letters to the school when we skipped classes.
Never knew it could be so scenic under the westgate bridge. I drove to this place in Newport for breakfast on my way home.
It's called "Pint of Milk", and although I wasn't ready to touch any coffee yet, I'm sure it was really good. They had Gridlock beans and a Synesso machine.
The thing I love about this place is how it's at such a peaceful location, almost like a well kept secret for the local residents. The lady who took my order was SO friendly, even sat down at my table when I told her what I wanted for breakfast.
Lovely start to a, hopefully, productive day.
