Check out my mom’s birthday flowers. They’re such a pretty shade of pink. ^_^

Check out my new keyboard stickers! I bought it at Everland in one of their souvenir shops.

This was taken from 2PM’s Hands Up Concert in Seoul last September, while everyone was waiting for the boys to come out. The energy in the stadium was palpable. ^_^

This grasshopper was spotted inside a McDonald’s in the wee hours of the night. It was sleeping.

[Instagram] Blur

This’ll be the first in a series of photos captured using Instagram. I was trying to take a picture while in a moving car when the car suddenly stopped. I captured this instead.

[Photography] Disney Sea, Japan

KanjiGirl — Wed, 02 Mar 2011 14:33:26 +0000

It’s been a while since I uploaded any photos. This batch is from Disney Sea in Japan. There may be several Disney Land theme parks around the world but Disney Sea in Japan is one of a kind. When we went there the weather was cloudy but it’s a good thing it didn’t rain that much to ruin the day.

[Photography] Universal Studios Japan

Day 2 in Japan was spent in Universal Studios. I’m glad they let us spend a whole day here. That means we didn’t have to rush our way from one attraction to another. The downside here through was I just came from Universal Studios Singapore which was almost similar to this one. Still, I love theme parks and Universal Studios is no exception!

[Photography] Kyoto, Japan

KanjiGirl — Tue, 28 Dec 2010 03:52:16 +0000

My family and I recently went on a 6 day tour of Japan. I have to say, Japan is one of my favorite places in the world. Since I love the place so much, I took a whole lot of pictures! I’m going to do a series of photo posts covering my adventures in Japan. During the first day, we visited Kiyomizu-dera and Kinkaku-ji in Kyoto. The weather was perfect, which I soon learned wasn’t always going to be the case. ^_^

[Photography] Universal Studios Singapore

KanjiGirl — Fri, 12 Nov 2010 07:20:53 +0000

Singapore is practically like my second home. When Universal Studios in Resorts World Singapore opened during the second half of this year, I knew I just had to give it a visit. My friends and I took a weekend and a couple of weekdays off to check out the new theme park and spend a few days in sunny Singapore as well.

[Photography] Great Wall of China

KanjiGirl — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 15:55:37 +0000

I went to Beijing, China this year right after winter and just before spring. I didn’t pack any heavy clothes or thermals expecting that the weather was more like spring weather. Unfortunately, it was still pretty cold and when we visited the Great Wall, there was still ice on the ground. I really had to push my coldness tolerance because all I was wearing then were open toed sandals (I wore socks to save my toes), jeans, a knitted shirt and a trench that didn’t really offer any protection from the cold. I didn’t even bring a pair of gloves! Anyway, I survived the cold with a few pictures to remind me of the experience.

[Photography] A Perspective of Bangkok

KanjiGirl — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 14:11:00 +0000

This was I think my second visit to Bangkok. My first trip was probably more than 10 years ago. All I cared back then was the food and the shopping. Now however, I was more observant and appreciative of my surroundings. I visited Bangkok as a tourist, joining a package tour that brought us to the usual tourist spots, but I hope that my perspective is something a bit unique compared to others.

[Photography] The Petronas Tower at KL

KanjiGirl — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 14:15:02 +0000

My brief stay at Kuala Lumpur Malaysia didn’t allow me too much free time, but at least I was able to afford a quick visit to the Petronas Tower. I didn’t dwell very long in the city but I was able to take a few snapshots of the place.

[Photography] Mai Khao Beach Phuket

KanjiGirl — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 15:26:13 +0000

Mai Khao beach in Phuket is probably the best beach I’ve ever been to. I think it’s the best not because of the usual things that makes beaches well-known. I really liked Mai Khao beach in Phuket because of the extreme calm and serenity I felt there. Although the beach was near several hotels and resorts, the actual beach was deserted and virtually undeveloped. I could have walked kilometers along it’s shoreline without ever seeing another person. I would have taken a lot of pictures while I was there had I brought my DLSR with me. (I hate that I didn’t have my DSLR when I really needed it.)

[Photography] Walt Disney World Architecture

KanjiGirl — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 14:53:23 +0000

No matter how old I get, I think I’ll always love Disney World. However, my favorite theme park within the huge Disney World complex, is Epcot. When we went there last 2007, I thought I took enough pictures of the place. But it seems like enough pictures back then is not the same as enough pictures right now. Anyway, check out the pics that I thought were at least decent out of the lot. I have a photo of the classic Disney castle as well.

[Photography] Shanghai Museum and the Old City

KanjiGirl — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 12:54:19 +0000

I only brought a point-and-shoot camera with me during my trip to Shanghai. I mostly got bad pictures to show from the trip but nevertheless, I’m posting some of them h anyway. We went to the Shanghai Museum and although I don’t normally appreciate ancient art, I had fun taking pictures of the sculptures on display. We also visited the Old City which is like a gem in the middle of ultra-modern Shanghai. It was a fun and worthwhile trip — it’s a shame I wasn’t able to bring my DSLR.

[Photography] Scenic Sydney

KanjiGirl — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 15:31:10 +0000

I just discovered photos I took from our 2007 trip to Sydney, Australia. I have so much photos and so little time that sometimes I just dump them in my hard drive where they are left and ignored for a long time. Seeing these photos bring back some fun memories. We only spent 5 days there but we were able to visit a lot of scenic spots around the city (and the surrounding country). I purchased my D40 right before we left for the trip (it was my first DSLR) so please pardon me if these photos are a tad underexposed.

[Photography] Fruits and Vegetables

KanjiGirl — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 15:51:25 +0000

If I put boredom, a grocery and a point-and-shoot camera together, what do I get? Photos of a whole lot of fruits and veggies, that’s what! I’m not the grocery-shopping kind so when my family and I went to the grocery during our vacation in Shanghai, I found myself taking random photos of the fruits and vegetables on display. The photos are not the best but they saved me from being bored to bits.

[Photography] Famous Buildings Gone Miniature

KanjiGirl — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 13:32:08 +0000

Aiins World is a theme park where miniature recreations of world famous buildings are on display. The miniatures at Aiins World were crafted with such painstaking attention to detail that visitors feel like they are looking at the real thing. We only spent around an hour and a half inside the park and it definitely wasn’t enough to soak up all the amazing views and facts about these works of architecture.

It would have been so much better if we had visited the during nighttime when all the lights made the miniatures look even more amazing but unfortunately we visited right before noon. Still, I would say they don’t look bad at all don’t they?
