i think i like odd images. for some reason they really do strike me as a good capture of a single moment. because they're odd, it makes them even more unique. and of course, that evokes the same feeling i had and reminds me of the thoughts going through my mind when i took the snapshot.
i like it.
other than that, started singing lessons and therefore, researching music on youtube. i'll dare write it that i've been wanting to take singing lessons for oh... 15 years, no exaggeration. well, at least i got started, right? better than late than never is definitely the right cliche at this moment.
anyways, so these are the recent searches: (try them out on youtube)
