Tanong Lang

Bakit pag naiinis ka sinasabayan ng ibang tao ang inis mo?
Bakit pag sad ka, hindi eto nararamdaman ng ibang tao?
Siguro mas mabuti kung manahimik na lang ako…
Masyadong maraming tanong na di naman nasasagot. Nakakainis, nakakabagot.
Sana may “highlight” pa din ang araw ko ngayon kahit na kanina pa ako naiinis at nalulungkot.
O baka naman nasobrahan lang ako sa kain kaya na-depress ako bigla???

Ang natutunan ko ngayon: Nakakasakit sa tyan ko ang large na Fruitana Banana-Mango. Sabi ko na nga ba dapat medium na lang kinuha ko eh!

Uh Oh

Something’s bothering me, but I cannot exactly pinpoint what it is. But I know this has something to do with my work (and my team)…

There have been a lot of resignations lately and I don’t know if management is doing something about it. A newer company is out there, trying to lure good talents from Pecten (and we really are a bunch of talented people here).

I used to love what I am doing, “used to” being the operative word. I still work, but not with the same dedication I had before. I don’t know what happened. I felt so overworked and now I’m burnt out. I was hoping this would pass…

Something about the Team is also bothering me. I hope my instinct is wrong. I hate to see people move now; I don’t want to lose the Team…not yet.

I am also waiting for THE email request from you-know-who. I guess this is a better waiting than my friend (who is also nervy nowadays waiting for the Post to arrive!). Waiting sucks!

Oh crap, this is a very nega write-up.

Could someone cheer me up please?

(So glad I went to Bohol to unwind but the trip was so short! Hope to be back soon.)

Balicasag Island --- great for snorkeling

Unwell

I don’t feel well today and all because of a (slice of) mango cake from Red Ribbon. To celebrate our new shift (yipee, we are now part of the normal workers! To quote my office mate: “Hello Sunshine!), we decided to eat cake – mango, chocolate and ube. After eating, I forgot to drink water!

Morning after, my throat is acting up. And now it has evolved into a full-blown fever. Good thing I am on leave tomorrow (though I have a dental appointment to resume my root canal). Well, at least I have a 3-day respite from work.

At around 6:30pm today, I noticed a very good view of the sunset several workstations from mine. I hurriedly got my camera and shot my heart away.

The zoom here was maximized to the fullest. Camera set at Night Landsacape.

Usapang Ngipin

I finally went to my long-overdue-dental-visit for the finalization of my front tooth’s root canal. I have been putting this one off for the longest time, but last Saturday, I finally went with Yen to her dentist (its her last visit by the way) and had my tooth checked as well (pero I am very religious with my oral prophylaxis ha!)

And my tooth was cleaned. After carefully checking the x-ray film that was my tooth, the dentist concluded that I need to have 2 more sessions with her, ugh. That means putting off my plans of getting my teeth straightened (pa-braces ba!).

Right now, my tooth (or should I say the nerve) is aching. Maybe because it was touched by those really long, thin needles. I didn’t feel any pain last Saturday (or am I just immune to pain now?) pero ngayon, its kumikirot... Anyway, I hope the pain will go away (I am not very comfortable with taking pain-killers so I just hope and pray na mawala ang sakit). Sana matapos na ang root canal so that I can move on with my other “tooth plans”.

and a totally unrelated photo...

Still some Sunday pix

A friend of mine accompanied me to my photo shoot last Sunday. He said he wanted to learn how to take good pictures as well.

Here are some of his best shots (syempre, ang subject walang iba kundi ako, hehe).

Oo na, I just wanted to post here some of my photos, hehe…

this is a cropped version of the original. Why cropped? because in the original, there's a tree right above my head... makes you think that it's an extension of me, hehe. I love the hair! :-)

nagpapakasenti sa Quezon Hall... black and white ang drama...

wala lang, gusto ko lang i-feature 'tong pix na 'to...

My first attempt

As promised, here are some pictures I took last weekend, when I went to UP. But silly me, I was using the camera Saturday night, just experimenting on some shots and deleting it afterwards, but I forgot to charge the already wasted battery. What happened was, in the middle of my photo shooting, the camera just went dead… kainis! I wasn’t able to take pictures of the cloud formations, of the beautiful trees, of people jogging… So much for the built-up excitement of finally using my Digital Photography book to good use. Well, there’s always a next time.

Some of the best shots I took (well, they are the best for me).

Of Photographs and Photography

During my last birthday, my wish list included a digital photography book. And lucky me, I have friends who granted my wish and voila, I have my own book! I just need to put it to good use though…

It has been 2 weeks since I got the book, but I haven’t really took much pictures since then. I only have two to share, not really very impressive. The thing is, i want to improve my "craft"... from a point-and-click photo shot to a "professional-looking" one. Anyhow, here are my frist two attempts:

wala lang... close-up ng flower. :-)

my half eaten birthday cake... i like how the camera captured the moist that started to appear in the chocolate chips...

I am planning to have a phot-session weekend so i'll probably update this site real soon...
