Sunsets from Around the world.

I feel like alot of my post are crappy in quality, so I'm going to try to put more effort into each one. By doing so, you all will see beetter quality work from me, but as a trade off, it might take me a bit longer to get the work out.
I'll try to have AT least 1 post a week, but I most likely won't be able to get a post a day like I use to.
I apologize to about the lot of 9 of my followers that actually read up on my projects everyday.

So today's shot is going to be the beginning of a series. I plan on(not sure when I'll finish) taking pictures of the sunset ALL AROUND THE WORLD(At least 1 from every continent)! This is my first set to this goal, the sunset in Tuen Mun, Hong Kong.

If you're interested in seeing the full rez(really big) picture, it will be here.
I'd love some critique in the comment, this was my first time doing HDR. and if you're interested in this seriest, feel free to +watch me on DeviantArt(for all you deviants out there) cause there will definately be more to this series!

Reague of Regends?!

My friend and I have been spending nearly a month working on this script(actually, just a couple days out of the month). Now we finally have a rough draft. We now at least know WHO the characters are, and what they're doing. I'm hoping to refine this to a working script by the end of the month, and I can shoot this in August.

::Background::
My friend and I were discussing how the League of Legends community is pretty awesome
I swear Vayne stole OUR dance!
but as we were discussing it, I realized the general conversation we had during a game was like this :

"Me(Katarine) : WATCH ME KS YOU ALL MUDAFUKA!
Him(Caitlyn) has scored a triple kill
Me: I hate you SO much.

Him: U Mad, bro?"

so after collecting some of our dialog, I talked him into helping me put together a little web short.


If you guys are interested in following this project, follow me here or subscribe to my youtube channel, I'm most likely going to be posting it there.
Look forward to reading your thoughts about this in the comments.

Regrets.

::Side track from my actual projects::
This has got me thinking about my life.
The top 5 regrets people had on their deathbeds.
1. I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.
2. I wish I didn’t work so hard.
3. I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings.
4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.
5. I wish that I had let myself be happier.




I try to life my life with no regrets, one that is true to myself and I think I did a pretty good job.
I try my best to enjoy myself, but I feel as if I've accomplished nothing, or very little.
I can make a small list of things probably only I have experience/can do that makes me unique, but that doesn't make me feel better. It actually makes me feel worst because I think of all these other unaccomplished people..
Reading that article, I feel even now,
that I have failed to have the courage to live the life true to myself,
how I stupidly worked so hard on things that didn't matter, and was how I'm not working hard enough of things that does, but I don't really 'regret it' all these mistakes that I've made, if I had the opportunity to stop myself from doing it in the past, I wouldn't because of all the valuable lessons, I got out of it (maybe not the motorcycle accident, but I learned my lesson!)
Even now, I do not have the courage to express most of my feelings, somethings it's a bit crippling, but not 'regrettable'
I've let so many of my friends fall out of touch, but I feel as there are reasons, so no regret here.
But I don't feel I keep myself from being happy, I just feel happiness is hard to come by for me..

All this, and I've only had the opportunity to live this life for 20 years.


TL:DR
"My life might suck/be awesome, but I'm still unsatisfied"
I'd love to hear how you guys deal with regrets. Got any stories about your regrets? Share them in the comments, If you guys are interested tell me, and I'll share some of mine.

Shenzhen - China


My adventures in Shenzhen. It's a really nice place, but I just walked down the street, and I got solicited by SO many prostitutes! I got 9 random old ladies coming up to me asking to take a look at the girls from just walking down 1 street, then I turned the corner, and doubled back to the metro station, and I stopped counting.

I've some free time lately, and I've been working on the script for a little short. I don't want to ruin it, but I might be weaving in and out of this blog, or some post might just seem like I whipped it together last minute(Like I've been doing so far)
I hope you bear with me, and I'll throw up an entertaining little short by Sept(hopefully) for all you guys.

As always, feel free to answer questions I didn't even ask this time in my comments!

Taipei 101


It was typhooning but as the crazy party animals we were, we still went out to Taipei 101(That really tall building).
These are the "better" of my photos that night, as the rest was just us drinking our asses off, and no one wants to see that, right?
My friend snuck me up to the 27th floor of this other building where the club was in the basement to get some of these shots!
What do you guys think of the night view? Anything like this where you guys are from?
Ever been taken somewhere you weren't really suppose to be, but enjoyed every moment of it?
Tell me in the comments!

Epic Food Adventure : Taiwan

As soon as I arrived in Taiwan, my friend took me out for food from the Shilin Night market. I stuffed myself with fried shrimp, fried chicken, fried squid, fried tofu. I swear everything taste better when it's fried!
We also had some quail eggs, grilled scallops, and enough tea to last me 2 lifetimes(I can still go for more of that passionfruit ice tea, and bubble milk tea now.)
The following afternoon, my friend took me out to this great thai place. THE SOUP CAME IN A LOG BOWL!!!!
I was so amazed by that.
There was SO much food, this trip, it was crazy. In the end, I still had to make 1 last trip back to the night market and pig out before leaving. Now I can cross "Eat my way through Taiwan" off my to-do list.
Fret not, I still have "Eat my way through: Korea, Vietnam, Japan, India, England, Italy, Greece, France, Spain, and Germany" on my list of things to do before I die, and I'll make sure to record it all here.

Crazy Weather in Taiwan

I just finished my trip to Taiwan! I found the name of this Library very interesting and thought I would share it.
I remembered the last time I got a shot of an "Asian" structure, it got flooded with comments. This time I'll just leave this here!



The weather was like awesome when we landed. Nice atmosphere, great sunshine, and a gentle breeze. Sadly a typhoon came by the third day. I still had 2 days to get some awesome pictures. I'll be talking about my food adventures tomorrow(There's SOOOO MUCH FOOD, & it was ALL so very good!), so you definitely want to follow if you havn't already!
Tell me what you think in the comments! Every been to Taiwan? Seen some crazy weather tell me about it!(I heard about the tornados in the states. my condolences out to anyone, or their loved ones that are affected)
