Rainy days are here again, it would seem. And what better way to celebrate it than to oversleep while curled up underneath a nice warm blanket? Well, that hasn't exactly happened yet. How I wish I can afford to, but the call of the office is just too urgent to ignore these days.
Take for example the next couple of days. Tomorrow I have to wake up pretty early and drive a couple of hundred kilometers to get to some clients up north. Then on Friday I need to run five kilometers for a "fun run" organized by a client of mine down south. Whew... just thinking about it makes me pine for the weekend with the utmost desperation.
The good thing is that things at the office seem to be taking a gentle turn for the better. Things are starting to go my way which is badly needed in these unfortunate times. It looks like all that effort in the past couple of months are paying off and I might just stave off unemployment in the meantime. Good news to all my creditors, I guess.
So how are things on the personal front? Well, steady as she blows. Small ripples here and there but nothing too serious and alarming. I have a new appreciation for my house, and I have acquired a new fascination with my dad's old camera. Just downloaded a ton of stuff about it and am planning to have it cleaned and try it out just to see if I can delve in a little photography of my own. Figure that it's a great way to relax and build self esteem. (Let's hope) The neat thing about the ancient camera is that I have so far been seeing great reviews about it performance wise. Great news now that I don't have to spend a ton of cash in buying a modern digital camera. (For the curious, the ancient camera is a Yashica Electro 35 GSN)
So far, I have enlisted the help of Nolan in getting the camera cleaned up and shooting. Just downloaded a modified instruction manual and sent it to him so that he could then teach me how to operate it. I know that this takes out a lot of fun in experimenting with it, but since it is a film camera and a roll of film plus developing isn't exactly cheap, I need to learn as fast as I could to sustain this planned hobby of mine.
So I guess I can't really complain about the coming of the rains. Let's just hope I get to spend a morning soon still tucked in bed and loving it.

On photography and films, it's cheaper to buy films in quiapo. Oh plus a tip in developing, have the films processed in digiprint (http://www.digiprint.com.ph/). Meron silang film to CD processing, no need to have it printed. It's also cheaper if you wait until you have 5 films para free delivery. =)
thanks for the tip tatcee! balitaan kita kung matuloy nga ako.
