Nuzlocke Challenge?





Pardon my absolutely crappy drawing up there, I don't have a tablet at the moment so I drew with my mouse.
So I've decided to do a Nuzlocke Challenge.
This is my first time doing one, so go easy on me.
My rules are only the original two:

  1.  I could only catch the first pokemon I encountered in an area,
  2. and any pokemon that faints is considered dead.


I'll make an exception on shinies though, I may catch them, but never use them on the battle unless it's the first pokemon I encountered.

What do you think?
Is it a GO or a NO?

Step two: Films.



I searched far and wide by foot for 120mm films. I failed.


So I turned to the one and only shoulder I could lean on: the Internet.
As usual, olx.ph answered my call. Tons of expired 120mm films were on sale! Lucky me. I was at first afraid to buy online, but I had no choice. I saw this ad and messaged the seller. The first two films I picked were out of stock, but then he linked me to his online shop: theonlinewarehouse.biz. It was a one-day delivery. I sent the payment through Smart Money, which was available on our next-door neighbor's reloading station. 

I slept late that night, and was woken up by my cellphone's ringtone. It was an unsaved number. I was frustrated at first because it was only 8 AM and I wanted more sleep. The courier asked for landmarks and directions, and surprisingly even though I was half-asleep I gave the right directions.

I figured they would show up any minute so I got up. TWO HOURS PASSED AND THEY STILL WEREN'T HERE. I should've slept more. But as soon as my Chewbacca-look-alike dog barked, I got all excited and got them!

Fujifilm Superia-Xtra 400 and Pro NS.

Finally, I can shoot. I will post pictures of the outcomes!

Step one: Obtain camera!

After weeks of searching, this lovely red Holga 120cfn just popped out.

I caught it.

Backstory:

I wanted to get an instax before. But I looked around and said, "Nah, it's too common." Everyone around me had instax cameras with varying colors. I've always wanted the pink one (well, I just wanted something pink in general), but my sister bought one. Well, I wanted to be unique. I tried searching for vintage Polaroids, some were cheap but their films were not. One was only PHP 600, but their films were about 2.5 times the price of the film. So I crossed the Polaroids out.

As I was searching for cameras, I came across Lomography. How they use film cameras just like the old days, how they make amazing pictures out of old cameras. Then it hit me. Why don't I try lomography instead?
I really don't have much background on photography, more or less lomography, but something piqued my interest on these old-school cameras. So I searched olx.ph for Holga and Diana cameras. Then this hot-red holga camera caught my eye. Usually only pink captures my eye, but there were were no pink Holgas for sale at that time. So I chose the closest color to pink: RED.

I contacted the seller, and arranged a meet up. And then finally, I got a hold of this lovely Holga.
I wonder what images I would capture through her. I would need serious help on this. Contact me if you would like to help!

Less-than-three lots,
Lian.

Finally, I made a blog.

I finally have my new desktop up and running, and it's amazeballs.

I also have all the time in the world to do anything, so I made this blog! *insert confetti here*
After a month of waking up at 4 AM, commuting for 2 hours, studying, and arriving home at 6 PM, I now have my much deserved rest. TWO MONTHS OF NOTHING TO DO. What better way to occupy myself than to do everything!
What to do, what to do? 
Here's a list of specifics I might do:
  • Mixed Martial Arts.
  • Improve my blog?
  • Renovate my room.
  • Practice lomography skills.
  • Watch Elementary series.
  • Every single DIY that I could do.
  • Youtube channel? lol.
Well, whatever I do, I'll keep it all posted right here.
Of course, if I hopefully will not get exceptionally lazy.

Less-than-three lots,
Lian.
