I never really make new years resolutions.

But I decided to make some for 2012.

- 365 project. Take a photo every day, post a photo every day (Even if it’s just with my camera phone and not my actual camera).

You can follow some of my randomness and random photos through instagram @chrissykimphotography. I just linked it to my twitter @chrissykimphoto.

I have a list of things/topics/subjects to take photos of. I’ve been looking at other peoples 365 project topics.

- Live a healthier lifestyle. If you don’t know me very well, I get very tired easily, and I sleep a lot. I went to the doctors the other day to make sure there’s nothing actually wrong with me. So hopefully, the results come back saying that I’m not anemic or that there’s anything actually wrong with me.

I also need to exercise, and eat more healthy.

I already try to eat healthy, but I really need to cut back on the Mexican food.

-Read a little bit each day. I need to schedule some time every day to read. I have a lot of books on my To Read list, and I need to make a dent in that list.

-Don’t stress over the little things. If you know me well, my body doesn’t handle stress very well.

I need to not take things too personal. (except when it comes to photography and editing).

A quote I found on pinterest — “Life is too short to stress yourself with people who don’t even deserve to be an issue in your life”.

-Travel. This past year, I was blessed to have lived in Korea, travel to China twice, and go to a few islands in the Philippines. I want to travel more, and explore the world a little bit more, even if it’s just within the United States.

I do want to go on a Safari trip in Africa **fingers crossed** It probably won’t happen in 2012, but hopefully it will sometime in my life.

Ok that’s really it. There’s no point in putting something I will not achieve, like losing weight and stuff like that :p

Just have to live positively in 2012 and be happy with what I’ve got!

So can you believe I’ve never carved a pumpkin before? Ok, well I suppose since I haven’t done a lot of things before, it’s easy to believe.

Me and my housemates decided to carve some pumpkins..

What’s pumpkin carving without some pumpkin face cups! (So I decided, for every holiday, I’m going to buy theme plastic cups! They were only 98 cents for 4 cups! And it made our pumpkin carving a little bit more festive)

Hard at work

So Sarah started carving one (to the left) and then gave up as she realized it was not going to work out, so she started making another carving off to the side (to the right).

However, she failed again, because her whole Hello Kitty face came out

What it’s supposed to look like

My Hello Kitty. I must say, it’s pretty good for a first timer! ;p

And, our finished masterpieces..

Hello Kitty face, Transformer, Hello Kitty

I’m pretty proud of mine ;p

Maybe I will carve one more pumpkin before halloween ;p

So I don’t know if you’ve ever heard of Pinterest, but it is absolutely my new obsession.

So you know when you see something online that you want to bookmark, well instead of actually bookmarking it, you can pin it!

It saves the picture onto one of your boards, and then if you click on the picture, it will take you back to the original post. So no more lame bookmarking.

You can create as many boards as you want, and pin as much stuff as you want to your boards..

Here are all my boards, Photos, I Want, Home/Decor, Before/After, Party Ideas, Wedding Inspiration, Places, Food, DIY, Kid Stuff, Organization, Printables.

I took a snap shot.

Photos.

These photos are things that inspire me, or that I want to somewhat replicate.

I want

Most of the I want stuff are large bathrooms with awesome  tubs, or something home related.

Home Decor

How I want to decorate my future home(s).

Wedding Inspiration

I know, I’m not getting married anytime soon (I’m totally 100% single ) but it’s never too early to start an inspiration board! Just some ideas on photos,save the dates, trash the dress, decorations, party favors.

Places

Places around the world that just look beautiful and that I would love to travel to and take photos at.

Kid Stuff

Again, I’m nowhere near having a kid, but I like kids, and there are just some cute ideas and photo ideas.

I have a few more boards, but the snap shots weren’t as pretty

You can follow me on Pinterest (following the stuff I pin). Or if you want an invite to pinterest let me know!

I follow a few blogs online that I have bookmarked, so occassionaly I will pin things from those blogs, but usually how I pin things is I just go to the Pinterest home page, and click everything, so all the most recent pins show up and I just scroll through and look at them and start pinning.

Seriously, whoever thought of this is a genius. I love it. (You can also link it with your twitter so that things you pin you tweet as well, but I don’t really twitter).

You would think that the way I’m talking about this I’m on their marketing and promotions team, but I’m not. I just love this site!!

So there has been some crazy things that have happened the past few days in my life and with the people I know.

Because my mind has been everywhere, while backing into my tandem garage, I hit my side mirror along the entrance wall. So my mirror was dangling, some of the hinges came off, and that silver hood part came off..

This was the first accident I had with my car. And of course, it had to be with myself Â

So I went to the auto body shop, the guy popped it back in.

He kept saying it was funny.

I told him-No, it’s not funny! It’s sad!

My side view mirror is no longer motorized. It is now a manual side view mirror.

So I’ve been fishing with an idea, and hopefully I can launch that idea by mid october. I can’t really tell you what it is, but hopefully it will be awesome!
