I have a hard time finding the time and a good backdrop during the day :( I also live in an apartment so I have no private backyard to take them in as well.. so much for natural lighting!<br /><br />And about your content, I do worry about readers/followers as well but at the end of the day, its refreshing to have an outlet for introspective thoughts! It's nice to get to know a blogger better too. Readers come and go and we shouldn't feel obligated about blogging. :)<br /><br />As for DSLRs I'm really liking the Lumix GF1.. I haven't even read the manual yet and I'm already taking some great pics. Plus there is a setting for easy pics.. Food, Parties, Objects, Portraits etc. and no need to fiddle with any fancy DSLR stuff! It is expensive but I find its SO worth it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7626256958127756377.post-88649612260575848222010-08-18T18:53:02.393-07:002010-08-18T18:53:02.393-07:00Erin, R.L. & Michelle - It sounds sort of like...Erin, R.L. & Michelle - It sounds sort of like "nu-wien" but as one syllable instead of two. It's so hard to pronounce because people can't replicate the "Ng" sound, so I think each Nguyen person goes by a different version to make it easier on others :P<br /><br />sophia - I started the blog for myself, but also to be able to interact with other petite bloggers. And the more followers I get, the more I feel like I "owe" it to everybody to contribute interesting/useful things and not so introspective if that makes sense.<br /><br />stylepint - Your pictures are so good, I'm a little surprised you don't use a DSLR! I agree with you that a good camera doesn't necessarily make better pictures - but I love the DSLR-quality pictures! But it IS expensive and I'm not sure I have to time to tackle figuring out all the in/outs of photography. I tend to bite off more than I can chew in general :)PetiteXXShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04452994753872183538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7626256958127756377.post-52280329821430481312010-08-18T18:35:45.928-07:002010-08-18T18:35:45.928-07:00R.L. - I think it's safe to say that parental ...R.L. - I think it's safe to say that parental wishes for a doctor offspring is pretty much a universal Asian stereotype, not just a Chinese thing!<br /><br />Nelah - I've had diary-type blogs before and they never lasted because it was boring to keep up without any reader interaction. Having actual readers and interacting with the petite community is actually what keeps me going, and I'm afraid if I veer back towards the 'diary' type of blog I'd lose that. But maybe the key is a balance of both! :)<br /><br />Ping - I've tried other places in the apt and nothing really looks that great. Might have to resort to using hubby but he's not too keen on it (thinks I'll be too critical/OCD about getting things juuust right) and plus I feel a little embarrassed posing even in front of him!PetiteXXShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04452994753872183538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7626256958127756377.post-25168038452857836422010-08-18T18:28:19.553-07:002010-08-18T18:28:19.553-07:00the owl's closet - Yay for another fellow pigg...the owl's closet - Yay for another fellow piggie! :)<br /><br />Angie - I know what you mean about non-bloggers not really understanding the experience...

Why is it that asians are so curious about other asians? I can never meet another asian and just be friends for years until we just discover the other's race naturally in a conversation? hahaha. Your husband is right...it is so weird!<br /><br />These tshirts kill me softly but when you have Miss VN global Alex Tran modeling them w/her cute dimples, gorgeous complexion, and her short pixie haircut (that I think only a beautiful face like hers can pull off), she can make anything look good.<br /><br />I think branching out to other topics will allow your readers to identify with you even more. <br /><br />I look forward to a blog about your shopping experiences for a DSLR!

It shouldn't stress you out or make you think that you'll lose followers. People will follow if you write content that you love, not just to fill the page (so to speak).<br /><br />A DSLR isn't complicated, you can just use the Automatic settings. But if you experiment with the Manual settings, you'll definitely get more out of it. I have a regular point and shoot, but I try to push it to its limit to get the most out of it, whether it's through different effects, angles, lighting...there's so much you can do without a DSLR. It's nice to have, but it's not mandatory for taking great photos. It's the person behind the camera that matters most, not the equipment.<br /><br />As for the shirts, they're cute and definitely a novelty, go for it if you'll wear it! =)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7626256958127756377.post-8334128013946035392010-08-18T11:03:55.755-07:002010-08-18T11:03:55.755-07:00This post made me laugh...especially the t-shirts....This post made me laugh...especially the t-shirts...gotta get one for my sister- she married a "Nguyen"..LOL<br /><br />As far as your blog- you can do whatever you want and write about whatever makes you happy!
