Mystic Nymph: Shutterbugs at CHSS Library (Max & Kat)

I'll let you in a little revelation about my favorite usernames in my virtual sites. First is about my Mikimoto Angel pen name. Mikimoto is a famous brand of pearl accessories in America. I first saw that brand in Vogue Magazine. I got mesmerized by that label, and I thought of using it. I just added Angel from my name "Angela". Thus, the formation of Mikimoto Angel.

For my other pen name Mystic Nymph, the word mystic really came from the show Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog. I used to be so hooked to that show. I am also obsessed with mythologies, and nymphs are mythical creatures depicted as beautiful young women who are considered as guardians of objects and places in nature. Thus, the evolution of Mystic Nymph.

Shutterbugs at CHSS Library (Max & Kat)

Libraries fascinate me great deal. They have this certain mystery that is very engaging. I can’t help but be stuck in awe whenever I see plenty of books before me. I can’t fully grasp the feeling of being inside a library. All I know is that, my tensions are alleviated because of it. I can feel all my bewilderment and apprehensions subsiding. For me, that’s a wonderful sensation.

I love books, mainly because I adore words. I love leafing through the pages, and smell their unusually good scent. Have you tried smelling those old hard-bound books? Weird, but I think it’s one of the best scents in the world (along with sautéed garlic and onion). I want to share you this quote from the movie Inkheart, “Books are adventure. They can murder, mayhem and passion. They love everyone who opens them.”

Just last week, I allowed myself a moment’s luxury as I again considered the joy of taking some pictures in one of my favorite places in school – the CHSS Library. I was with Maxine, my photography buddy! We were studying for an oral exam in New Media class. We actually just came from our Asia and the World Long Exam before that. It was really a haggard day, but that never hindered as from our shutterbug enthusiasm. Here are some of my photos. Enjoy!

Let's POSE for a break!

Looking at the text, instead of reading.

Books are wonderful!

Thanks for these photos Maxine! Our next “photo shoot” is scheduled some time this week. I’m excited! Photography is really my way of getting rid of stress out of my system. How about you? Anyway, watch out for my photos.
