Olsen and I
Olsen and I have pretty much bonded in the two months that I've had him. FYI, I gave my dslr a name and decided to give it the male gender. I'm just weird that way.
I'm thrilled that I'm not the only one to get bitten by the photography bug. Many of my friends have now purchased (if not in the planning stages) their own cameras; now it's a hobby we can all pursue as a group.
It's been years since I handled an SLR, which was the old school Nikon model that ran on film. I've missed photography a great deal and it goes without saying that I've gotten pretty rusty. It's a challenge to relearn the discipline, but one that I'm sure I'll enjoy along the way.
I'm starting to post only my favorites
here.

A dozen red roses
This year's Valentine's Day wasn't so bad. In fact it was different - better different - from previous years. I received a dozen red roses from one of my favorite people in the world.
It really made my day. Thank you... :-)

Let's Dance!
I LOVE TO DANCE.
A lot of my friends, even my closest ones, have never seen this side of me. I strongly feel, however, that I'm at that point in my life where I am absolutely ready to make this part of me known. I was a little hesitant about pursuing this, and quite frankly, I take this path with much trepidation. The heart is stronger than the doubts, though, and that's why I'm diving into this head first. I was even more hyped up about it after having spoken to some of the Stylettos, the fabulous dance group I'll be joining. Since I have no professional dance background whatsoever, I know I'll have to work extra hard just to catch up with them. This goes without saying that I'll probably look a little silly during the first few practice sessions and I'll definitely need to up my efforts a notch higher. I'm all for it, though. This is something I want to do not just for myself, but to glorify God, and with this dance group, I'm absolutely sure I can do the latter. The Stylettos are a group of talented ladies, out to make it big in the industry, set apart by doing so through God-glorifying standards.
You can get to know more about them on
their multiply site. Here's a photo I took of them during their most recent Mall Show.

Tick Tock
I am wide awake at this hour despite having had a really tough mentally and emotionally exhausting day. I guess I'm just bothered. Being the people-pleaser that I am, I know I disappointed a number of people today and now I can't but hate myself for it.
Sometimes, I wish I were a cold, heartless b... witch. I wonder if they sleep better than I do because quite frankly, I haven't had decent shut-eye in weeks. This is all because I have been so afraid of having important people frown upon my decisions and recent course of actions.
So, I know there's nothing more annoying than a vague blog entry such as this, but I promise to elaborate when all this blows over. In the meantime, I must begin counting sheep.
