stuffs, stuffs and more stuffs
ok, i was suppose to post our zambales adventures but a lot of things got in the way. one of my closest friends is getting married in a few days and asked me to cover his wedding. i've been researching and looking for a suitable software for the upcoming on-the-spot audio-video presentation (avp) which covers the pre-wedding and ceremony.i also launched a project called dsc 365. dsc stands for digital still camera and 365 connotes the days of a year. it is just another photo-a-day project similar to the ones done by some photographers and bloggers. this time, i used wordpress just to get the hang of it. i have a lot of accounts on photo sites and community boards but i prefer to discipline myself of taking shots with very less post-processing and usually straight from the cam photos thru this site.
speaking of photo sites, i finally signed up to flickr. curiosity got out of hand and signed up... you can check my gallery there. starting with 2007, my "her nineties" photo got in to flickr explore as one of the most interesting photos around. cool huh?
i had a spa and aromatherapy yesterday at the mall. the treatment was only a gift from my mom. it was really relaxing and nice stress remover.
then finally, i have decided to go back to dubai by the end of this month. don't ask me why but i just felt i really need to go away.
until then...

What other people think:
Now if you are truly ready to return to Dubai, take just that which you need and remember why you are going back there.
You did a lot of great work in Dubai, maybe upon your return you will find a new path and a new journey to begin.
Returning to a place you know after a break of monotony may give you insight as to why you chose to return, if not just that you are maybe running away from the real pain that you feel being back home. I can imagine the heartache is immense.
They say in recovery that to "pull a geographic" when one is in pain, is not advisable because you may not know what you seek with the geographic.
A cure for pain, to put distance between you and that which you fear, or to return to what you knew was comfortable, you in Dubai and them in the Philippines.
Out of sight is out of mind.
I succeeded in pulling a geographic when I came to Montreal because I kept sight of my motives. You are familiar with where you are returning, so use that wisdom not to make the same mistakes that returned you to Manila.
The relationship is over, so now you are free to chart a new course. MAKE THE MOST of this opportunity.
Make WISE Choices
Make GOOD Choices
Regrets are a waste of time, they are the past crippling you in your present.
And lastly, never loose your childish enthusiasm, that's the most important thing...
Keep in touch and you know you are in my thoughts.
Peace,
Jeremy
