New Toy

Canon 700D

I bought a new camera as a gift to myself for my 25th birthday!!! Yey!! I feel so rewarded. Now, I am watching Youtube to know how to use it because actually I am such a horrible photographer.

When I was in high school I frequently attend workshops on journalism and it included photojournalism. At that time, my focus was on news writing, editorial writing and news writing. I didn't know that 4 years later, Instagram and blogging will be a breakthrough for the millenials. You can even earn money from it. At some point in my life, I also want to create a blog that would be viewed and appreciated by the many. I know that being a writer isn't a stable career so I didn't get a degree in communication.  Plus, I don't have a very good grammar. But since writing is very close to my heart,
I will never stop. Who knows, I have a future in this.

I just have a very limited opportunity to practice my photography skills since I am in a very strict country which does not allow documenting the dark side of the society.

Anyway, I am excited and I hope I can become a good photographer.

We also went to McDonalds today. It's my first time and I was so happy. It was like... uggghhh. F R E E D O M!!!!. It's a bit far from where we live and I like it since I have not been out and about for a long time.Before, I usually travel out of town even just once every three months and I miss the feeling of a long joyride, watching the view over the window. Even just riding the bus makes me sentimental and I got a chance to reminisce good things. Travelling makes me more positive.

Their McDonalds have cubicles with a very cute interior and when you go inside of it, you close the curtain after having your orders since females should be like "hidden". I appreciate it but I miss and like more the open, a bit noisy and coffee smelly branch in McDonalds, Koronadal.  It feels more homey and nice to see families eating, friends talking over coffee, students writing reports, office people making reports late at night... I miss Philippines so much...

 When I got home in our flat... I was like... it's so expensive to have "me"time. harhar. But it's freedom and happiness at stake so I'm willing to invest.*wink*

Hope you're having a wonderful day.
