MY FIFTY-FIRST POST

I have exceeded the fifty post mark! Wow what an achievement! So I shall parade this milestone by launching a new chronicle... MY ROAD TO THE NETHERLANDS....


I have been accepted to the Master of Laws Program in International Law and Law on International Organizations, Specialization in Human Rights, at the University of Groningen. So, it is now a personal pledge of mine to document each and every step I take towards this new sojourn. SO stay tuned! And I hope I'd be diligent with this new project!

LEARNING THE ROPES

I've been quite busy lately dipping my hands into photography. As in my previous post, I just bought a new DSLR camera. I'm very happy with my purchase. Although I just have to admit, I am not yet able to maximize the power of my new machine. So I've been reading books and the manuals repeatedly just to be acquainted with the functions and basic elements of photography. I also plan to take up lessons soon. I bring my camera whereever I go. it's also funny coz my siblings and cousins are getting annoyed that I also take their pictures, whether posed or candid. So they're always on their toes not to look silly, or else!!

I'm still a little apprehensive about posting my pictures here coz some of those shots will not convince you that it was taken using a really good camera. But in the two weeks Ive spent with my new Nikon, I guess I found the hobby that will usher me to my 30s.. I just realize how expensive it can get. But by taking snapshots of everything, I figured that I see sights like I've never seen them. I tend to appreciate my surroundings more, and for that, I think the money spent for that camera was all worth it.
