Too cold

It's been really really cold the past days. Even I have been very cold with the thing I love doing most - photography. My wife and I got very busy with our business that I have to trim down my time with photography. I miss shooting honestly. I'm very grateful, however, I was able to cover two nice weddings despite my hectic schedule. I'll post some pics later. :)

January 1 to 3, my wife's family and I went to a family trip out of town... without my cameras. :( We went to a Laguna Hot Spring private resort, spent the night there, travelled back to Tagaytay the following day, visit the zoo, then visited Caleruega. Very beautiful sceneries. It was going to be sunset as well. Perfect for strobist shots. We were about to go back home when everybody decided to maximize the trip by going to the beach in Matabungkay, Batangas. Sadly, I kinda hate that place. I would not recommend visiting it. The locals are scary, particularly, the "ahentes". They'll do anything to close a deal with you and a resort. They'll get commission from the resort. But they're doing it in a very wrong way. I told the resort manager it's very wrong. I straight-forwardly told her we might not go back again unless they do something with the "ahentes". In fairness, they have good beaches especially the one in an island. To sum up, we went to a lot of beautiful places without me bringing even one of my cameras. :( The reason behind it is all my memory cards are still full of pictures from Art and Ann's wedding. I failed to transfer them to my PC since it crashed.

With all these stuff happened recently, I reflected if I'll have to put my photography into hibernation and to focus 100% on our family business. A feng shui master, however, told us I should continue with photography. I have what it takes and I will succeed. I don't know how can he say that since he didn't even see one of my photos. I got flattered with that however of course. :-D So what's my decision? Tuloy ang ligaya! :-D I went to Canon Makati yesterday and they'll clean, calibrate, and recondition my equipments. All my cameras are still under warranty so all services made to them are free. :) And I have to pay P500.00 only for a lense calibration. ;-) In short, my equipments will be good as new! It's definitely a good sign. :)
