I took my first photography lessons from the FPPF, attending 4 Sunday sessions together with 2 friends and only 2 SLR cameras we borrowed from other friends.

I’m really harassed, about to burn out from work. It’s no joke, I know it’s that bad because emails, work assignments just float through my mind… and they don’t get absorbed. All that registers is “MORE WORK… MORE WORK!” I need to figure out a way to unwind, energize, and relax without having to take [...]
We have yet another vacancy… another officemate got promoted and has been requested to transfer to her new department by November 13. Where’s our 30 days transition time after effectivity? Oh well, she deserves the promotion, she’s such a dependable and hardworking colleague and I will really miss her especially since we’ve been working together [...]
