A Photo Shoot by Dezignsbyma

Back in August, I went to visit my friend Antwon, who had started his own company called Dezignsbyma. He got into photography when he moved to Korea. Similarly, I picked up my first DSLR because I was moving to the other side of the world. Though clearly, he has used his talents much more efficiently than I have haha.

I was a bit nervous of playing model, which my friends found funny considering I am on stage at times acting and do these Youtube vids. But again, modeling is NOT the same as acting lol. As I told them, when acting you are playing a character who could be far different then you (case in point I recently took the role of Fezzik in “Princess Bride..true story). So by the end of it, I just had to “act” like I was a model so that I could get over my nerves lol. Thankfully Antwon was patient, and the session went really well.

Click on his logo to check out his amazing photography. His studio is right here in Daegu, close to the heart of downtown.

Reviewing some of the pictures

I nervously laughed through the whole process ^_^

And the sky burned

…

It was the strangest sunset.

A rainbow cut faintly through the sky…

and I felt like I was in a dream.

This world was so vivid and strong, like a painting that had been set aflame. 

It felt like it was a message to me alone. 

To get up, to wake up and just live. 

Rainy Day River Walk

A faint rainbow in the background ❤

Analie and I decided to go watch a Samsung Lions game. Baseball games in Korea are just so awesome! Unfortunately, it got rained out. The silver lining (pun intended ಠ◡ಠ) was that it turned out to be a beautiful aftermath of a storm – rainbows, ducks and cranes galore! It was a perfect river walk.

Runoff water comes from street level and is dumped into the river.

 

Unfortunately, some garbage gets thrown in as well.

The water was amazing to watch against a vibrant tumultuous sky.

Cranes are sometimes hard to spot on the river, but today they were everywhere.

One of the best murals I’ve seen in Daegu. Daegu is known for it’s apples and beautiful women.

My EPIK Medical Check-Up

Check-Up in Korea: And this is the outfit I get 대박!

Yesterday, I did my mandatory renewal medical checkup. I really like the new hospital my coworker recommended, she found the cheapest one and I got to travel to a new neighborhood and the whole experience felt like an upgrade . Look how comfy I look in those patient scrubs! (｡◕‿◕｡). Shop around for a hospital! The usual price for the exam is about $100! But you can find others for cheaper. Here is a list of things to expect on your visit:

• Bring a 3 x 4 passport picture of yourself as well as your passport 
• Weight and Height Measurements
• Vision Test
• Hearing Test
• Colorblind Test
• Urine Test
• Blood Test
• Blood pressure Test
• Chest X-Ray

Watch the video for my full thoughts on the whole thing, as well as how interesting I found it that the nurse did not use gloves when taking my blood! v( ‘.’ )v

Make note of the lack of gloves

Privacy is over rated, I’m use to this now. ‘Cause it’s about the camaraderie of suffering together!
