photoshop

I am no expert in photoshop (PS). I know the only the basic stuff. In my quest to make our images better, here's one of the techniques I learned, its called the "Orton Effect". This technique is widely used for landscape photography, the after effect makes the images "glow". Check out the before and after below.

Mike and Iya

Mike and Iya got married last 2007. I posted their prenuptial pictorial here. I never got to post their wedding photos due to tons of work. But recently, they approved their album layout (yes, some couples takes a long time to finalize their selected photos for their album)thus I was able to revisit their pictures. here are some shots.

Can I Just???!!!

Can I just rant? I'm sad and frustrated now. Two days ago, I had long, black and straight hair. My hair has been like this maybe for about 6-7 years now. But then I decided that its time for a hair makeover, I've been longing to change my hair for about two months now and finally I did it. I had a haircut last Wednesday. So how do I look now? Well, disaster is an understatement. I wanted to have a short hair like a bob, somehow similar to Katie Holmes or Kelly Clarkson.


But I did not get this look! I now look like Dora The Explorer, the cartoon character waaaahhh!!!! I am super sad and frustrated now. Everyone in my family hates my hair. Even my 12 year old nephew hates it! My boyfriend said I look like a "manang" with my hair. Super sad na tuloy ako...

So here I am now thinking if I should have my hair fixed, by not going to the same salon/haircutter. But going to a well recommended hairstylist. Since my hair is now short, I guess there's no other way to do it but to cut it shorter but with a fabulous style. maybe like this cut

But I am not sure if I can pull it off. So the question is, do I get another haircut or should I just live with ugly hair for now (and be a dora look alike)?

I am really really sad : (
