The nightmare turned a blessing

As many might not know, besides photography, i have a day job. (ok, let's not call it a day job because, i do not work only during the day) i work 3 shifts... am, pm and night...

Yes, yes, i'm in the health industry, and caring is one of my strong points. i care about people and especially those who are sick. I become their middleman, speaking for them when they are weak and have no strength.

So back to the nightmare...

I came to work, seeing quite a no of staff, so i thought well, okay... let it be no issue right? After all, work is like that, we see friends and such. Then when i walked it, on my team had only 1 SAN and myself... I was shocked because my side is quite heavy... turnings, changing and RT feeds are like a paradise here... So much so that we can specialise in this field. Standard routine, receive report, check my friends and then do my work. No today had to have MC. and i don't blame the person on mc.. she is after all pregnant and she does not take MC at all, so im guessing she must be really sick.

Next thing i knew, we had to do 2 teams... that's another 6 more friends! No no, don;t get me wrong, i love to make new friends and all but, after a day off, i come back having to take 18 friends!?! that's a bit off ain't it.... No back up, no nothing... Just 3 of us: KNS, pimple face and myself... no offense to anyone coz i dun like to reveal names... So, at the beginning of my shift, i was already moodless to work. What's more, more work to do...

Forgive me if i yatter away and bitch like a lil girl, but sometimes its just the way i go thru life, how i complain and such yeah? hope you all understand.

Blessings came in, a friend who is in charge helped me quite a fair bit. in fact, a LOT! haha thank God for her... helping me to organize stuff and also sharing some work loads. So thanks to her, i managed to write my reports and such.

I also prayed during dinner, which i usually took an hour, i took bout 40 mins... i said, Lord please help me go thru this smoothly... please lighten my work load... and Amen He answered my prayer...! after dinner, it was much easier to work and finish my work...

Passing report was a breeze....

So i wanna thank God for helping me lighten my work load... i thank Him for also giving me the opportunity to observe the difficulities in life and how to understand people better and that includes understanding myself too...

Here is attached a picture i took to show how God has blessed me...

God has blessed me with wonderful sunsets... this is one of them...

To God be the Glory!

Amen!

2 new stuff to add to my camera collection

Bought 2 new items yesterday

1) Macro extension tube

2) lens pen

both from perly

Not that bad but must really get real close to the subject (which im not really in favour of)

The lens pen is nice (finally able to get them dust n dirt off my lens)

some pics to show:

People, why do you get arrogant? then become nice?

I went for a lil shopping spree yesterday with my girl and i wanted to go to this particular shop. First, the guy wasn't there. outside his shop had this smallest cute paper that said the big words ...TOILET... so we stood outside for quite a while... bout 10 mintues or so, then a guy in grey came out and opened his door. wonderful shop with so many interesting stuff in it. so we looked around.

The first customer we heard and saw buy like a bulk of items.. Wow her bill came up to 300 plus and she just whipped out a stack of $50 bills. Then she left.

The second guy asked some questions and to me usually service is important ya know.. pleasing ya customers to a certain extent is important (to me) at least i would... The dude seemed kinda pissed off to serve the customer. askin for the cheapest item on the display box, then pondering as we all do wondering if it's the best... then the customer said this which i tink was a lil too much but he wasn't shy... he went "is there a cheaper one but good still?" i was like WTF!!!! and i guess the guy who was on the other side of the counter was a lil shocked and pissed.... but i guess he is kinda used to such statements. nways the guy ended up buying 2 items... asking loads of questions...

Then came my turn, i introduced myself as before i came to the shop they had left a number to sms. but i found out that the one serving me is not him... its ok so i asked regarding the item they recommended. He took it out and showed it to me, but as it had only one use, i decided not to purchase it. i wanted a all rounder one. The display showed so many items so interesting each having its own color and style.. Wow.... i told the guy and my girl that i would come back for more haha.... so my girl picked out one that she liked and i bought another different kind...

Damage? $81..... yes... to me honestly its not much about the price.. ya wanna pick up good start correctly.. and the price i can afford of course (i felt it was not too x) so before i left i asked his name. he was kinda shocked but only at that time, he warmed up to m e and shook my hand.. i said thanks and he smiled.. told him ill come back soon and said good day (my usual sentence to end it happily)

Is there a reason people put up a strong front so as to avoid showing their weaker side or their normal self? im curious... aren't you?

So loving What God created

Sunsets and sunrises... Wow to me everytime it's so different

So today i'm gonna leave you with this one...

It's a sunset...

Like it or not please let me know yeah thanks!

God bless

Project Portrait

I just love photography and now i wanna do a mini project...

I would like to call it Project portraits the Black and white version...

I have this something for black and white so i decided to try it out first...

So far i have bout 3 people only. other times im working so it's kinda hard to go shooting.

But hey, if you want your shot taken, you don't need to be super pretty, i don't want beauty, i want everyone! Everyone has beauty in them..! i don't believe it, i KNOW it...

So come and let me know if you wanna be part of this small project of mine...

My aim is to take 50 people for now.

if the response is good then ill move to 80 or 100...

So support me and hope to hear from all of you out there...

Peace...

Special thanks to a friend

I would like to take this time to give a shout out and a great thanks to a friend who i speak to. ill call him Z. I spoke to him last night over a cuppa drink and he kinda knocked some sense into my head. as we've been friends for over 10 plus years its only recently i believe we got closer. i started sharing more stuff with him and even some secrets too. He has kept them well and i feel safe that he keeps them. (ya not sharing are you?)

Anyways, last night he spoke to me about savings. As most of the closer friends who know me, i admit yes, i am an impulsive shopper. i have bought stuff that i left lying around many a times which includes a keyboard which i bought very recently. (it's not expensive, but it's hard earned money still).

So he told me if i continued to do this spending and no saving, it's gonna be very hard for me in the years to come. yup that's right, i got no savings... sucks i know but there are many a times that i go to withdraw money only to find it all disappeared. I'm guessing i spend a lot without knowing how much had already gone. i believe many other people have this same situation too. but thanks to him, i woke up and i decided to put aside some cash (i have been doing this all along but in the end i used that money. So what i did was i passed the cash to someone i trust. asked that friend to save for me. or at least keep it for safe keeping. how much didnt matter as long as it was something every month. So i pray and hope this can and will go on as the months pass by. I will put more when it comes to bonuses and any other extra cash on hand.

Not forgetting the 'what about now' piggy bank. aka the dollar a day project.

I really hope this pulls through and i can donate this to some one or somewhere who needs it more than i. although 1 buck a day may not seem much to anyone, i believe its a good start. anyone would like to join me in this move? hmmm

ill be praying for your support

and also be praying for you my dear friend, Z

this is a lil something for you...

PS: hope you like it la. i just love photography so they come as gifts haha...

What about now...?

Lookin at Chris Daughtry's song, What about now when i saw Idol gives back this year, made me wonder. what about now, what have we done for those who need anything more than we all do? what have we done for the less fortunate, the needy. Many a times we tend to be selfish and live our own ways. We spend for ourselves getting the most expensive stuff, the most branded stuff... when we can use that amount of $ to help others. To make a difference in their lives.

So instead of idol gives back, im gonna open a piggy bank.

im gonna put in $1 dollar everyday....

and this $ will go to the needy.

At this point of time i duno who to give or where to go. Any suggestions pls let me know.

i would love to give it to someone or people who really need it...

i will also pray for those who are in need. those who need it more than i. those who could not live to see another day... you are all in my prayers...

So what are you gonna do for those who need it more than you?

What about now?

what about today...?

Start now....

Grand opening! Here it is...
