Phoneography

Posted on by Milli Stephania in Milli Stephania

Carrying my camera has been feeling like such a hassle lately. She’s just so bulky, and having her in my bag every day is becoming a strain on my shoulders, Ever since I updated  my phone to the Galaxy S6, I barely take her out anymore. Granted, there’s nothing better than having a DSLR capture an image, but my phone has been doing a pretty good job trying to keep up.

I really want to upgrade  my camera to the new Canon Rebel T6s, a whooping $1,200. All I keep thinking when I see that  number, is “Damn, I could really take a trip somewhere with all that cash”. Hopefully I’ll have some luck selling my Canon Rebel T3i, and that will put a tiny bit of ease in my pocket. Hey, I work so hard to get what I want, eat what I eat, and experience all of the things on my bucketlist,

Ok, ok,  back to where this post was originally headed.

I’ve been super addicted to Snapchat lately, so every time I see something that catches my eye, I’ve been snapping away, yes, more than usual. Which is really hard to image, since I’m always taking pictures. These are a few images that I’ve captured throughout my week. I hope you guys like.

Wish me some luck and determination guys, I’m getting that new camera…. and oh…if all works out, I’ll be taking another trip soon, yay!

Ps. Find me on Snapchat —-> minxinx  (Snapchatology.2 coming soon..see Snapchatology.1 HERE)

Lately I’ve been Snapchatting my life away. Wait, is that even a word?

I decided to form these clips together and share them with you guys. Feel free to follow me —> minxinx

I’ll be posting more videos soon.  I’ve actually been getting comments about the videos I have been posting and people want to see me vlog. Something that I’ve been trying to get into slowly. Let’s see how all of that works out.

So I decided to name these Snapchatology, the numbers will change gradually the more things grow.

I know I’ve been working like crazy lately, so please forgive me. As much as I love writing, drawing, painting, and going out sharing my experiences with you, momma has bills to pay.

Santo Domingo: Day 4: Hammock & a Hotel

Posted on by Milli Stephania in Milli Stephania

Today was filled with relaxation, so I’ll keep it really short. We woke up and when Chris wants something, he always gets it. He bought a hammock in Puerto Rico and watching to finally jump in it. My cousin Franklyn was ready to help and a tree and some wire later, someone was swinging. I hopped in for a few, but not for long, I was too busy running around getting ready to head to the pool. Yenny, was taking us to some hotel that I failed to get the name of. Rum and coconut in our system made swimming a little more fun. Yenny and Ama didn’t get in the pool, that didn’t stop Yenny from getting wet… I ran out of the pool to give her a great big hug! hahahaha… she wasn’t too happy about that.

Santo Domingo: Day 3: Feliz Dia De La Independencia

Posted on by Milli Stephania in Milli Stephania, Travels

Buenos Dias Republica Dominicana!

What better way to start off the celebration of Indpendence Day, than actually being in the place you’re celebrating!?

When I was a little girl, maybe like 5 or so,  and used to live in Santo Domingo, I remember being dressed up in a huge pink devil costume ready for the carnaval. I remember being scared of the monsters, but having fun at the same time. Now that I’m much much older (goodness, I’m getting old) this time I would be able to celebrate like the adults do… with a lot of liquor.
It made much more sense to take the bus over to La Vega, another city in La Republica Dominicana, since we were all going to be drinking and nobody wanted to be the responsible designated driver.

When we first got there, the sun was beaming, I decided to wear a dress, don’t ask me why, because I ended up regretting it later once I got beat up, I’ll explain later.

My hip was killing me from the day I busted my ass at the bar, and these diablos weren’t helping. They’re dressed from head to toe and carry these balloons filled with cow fat that hardens…and then they beat you in the butt with them. yes, you read that correctly. Chris got hit first, and he thought I was the mastermind behind it all. I call him over and tell him to pose with one of the diablos, and another comes up right behind him and pops him right in the ass! I was cracking up, and lucky me got to capture that pain.
The guys scurried off and snuck some Brugal in, so we all go to enjoy the music while we tried our best to cover our butts.

My cousin Ernesto had plans of his own, since he kept being conniving and kept planning to get us hit. He would call the diablos over and sneak behind us so one of gets hit. What a bully!
(when Chris got hit ….look at that face! ↑)

I’m not even going to lie, when I got hit, ouch! I felt that sting for the rest of the night. I was in so much pain. I got hit on my right buttcheek, and I didn’t even get the chance to see the diablo that beat me!
Night time arrived at the guys were feeling it. Ernesto the show off that he is got Chris to take his shirt off and somehow I ended up being hassled into taking pictures of them… who did they think they were? lol  They were showing off their tattoos and their muscles (cough cough cough)
