Friday Faves v2.

Our Charlie Brown Christmas Tree!- By Kristen.I'll pay you if you can get over the coolness/uniqueness/radness!

21st  Century white girl problems - The Tsaritsa a.k.a. Alexandra.This made me chuckle and I'm linking up soon-except it's going to be First World problems in a Third World.Weird kind of subversion,yo!

Solitude - by Vic.I totally nodded along.Also-how gorgeous is that photo!?

Which lens should I choose?- By Kevin and Amanda. This was an amazingly helpful read for a photography amateur like me.I have been meaning to buy a 50mm prime for a while now and am yet to put my dad's old macro lens to better use than early this year.

Shoot and Edit:Bokehs in Photoshop: A guest post by Mira Crisp on Ashley Sisk's blog. Are you a huge bokeh fan like me?Real ones are always the best, but check out this tutorial on how to create some cool ones in Photoshop!

Hope you enjoyed my this week's picks!

Friday faves :Week #1

This is something I've been meaning to do for a looong time- a weekly round up of of my favourite posts,that is.What with me being swamped with school,work and sometimes just spacing out,I end up just lurking and then vanishing right around the corner.I read,I have very many thoughts regarding the posts,yet I end up not saying how much I loved them.I don't like being that blogger.So I decided to take matters into my own hands,forsake all that has stopped me from doing this and whip my ass till I sprint to action and make a weekly series of this.I've been told I offer too many justifications-I just realized that it's kinda true,haha.
Anyway,moving on,my favourite posts this week are:
Dear Mackenzie: By Vic from These Hazel Eyes.Technically this was not written this week-but I felt it was worth showing off anyway(Can you see me rebelling against this weekly series already?).This one's such a heartfelt post and it reminded me every bit of what my father says while observing every little thing I do-that how miraculous it is see a part of you grow up into a healthy,happy human being,develop a personality and just live.Apparently it's not my forte at the moment-I guess I'll be able to tell that 10-12 years from now if and when I'm prepared to bear a child of my own and I'll probably have a hearty laugh at today's naivety.Till then,I'll thrive on that feeling vicariously.
A Letter to my current self: By Bobbi from Today I'm Bobbi. "I think that it's great to write letters to your past self and your future self. Things you wish you could have known and reminders for the future of how far you've come.But sometimes you need to write letters to your current self."

I agree,and I agree.I've come this far in life where I don't regret the mistakes I've made(that could also be because I haven't killed somebody,yet) because I've learnt something from each and everyone of them.Somehow these mistakes and bad decisions make me appreciate the good things in my life even more.

Does everygirl want to be a ballerina?: by Bella from One Sister's Rant-reminded me of my own reluctance towards Indian classical dance classes in my childhood.I did take them to make my mother happy,on other days I just froze in position and wished the clock would tick faster.

It's really hard to pick a favourite from Bella's blog-she comes up with a bomb every time!I made a good evening of stalking her past posts the day I discovered her blog.My favourite are of course Roxy's adventures.

Any blogger with a dog is automatically categorized under OMGAwesome in my book.

Sharing the past-7 links challenge:by Jenny from Oh So Very Me.What better than a round up what I've missed?Loved every post on the list!I love how sassy she is.

Watch this space for something similar for me-for I've been le tagged!
