palamon pa rin

Five or so more applications, still no work. I am goddamn bored. My AutoCAD classes are almost over too, probably next week, leaving me with even more free time on my hands. Time which I do not know how to spend. How pathetic.

 

But what am I supposed to do? Okay, cleaning the house is a good option except that I never really was good at that--besides which, Mama and Tita are obsessive-compulsive enough as it is about housework without me having to butt in. That, and I am simply not a domestic person by nature. And goodness knows I thrive in my own happy chaos.

 

Daya [a Mukamo friend] suggested I go to the gym when I unexpectedly ended up complaining about my unproductivity and ravenous appetite for just about anything and everything edible that isn't green. Actually I've been planning for years to hit the gym but somehow never managed to go even once. Typical me. Someday soon, I'll actually live my life and do everything I want and plan to do. Until then, I'm content in ennui's sweet embrace.

 

Maybe I should start with a sideline--not that I have any full-time job, or any job at all for that matter. Whatever. Thing is I have to do something to keep boredom at bay, and something productive at that. I've always wanted to be a photographer. Maybe this is the right time to pursue that passion. Never mind that I'm working with an old camera--whose memory card I think I just lost, darn it. Even if I don't become the next big name in photography, I might be able to launch Aiah's career as a model. Haha.

 

But seriously, that kid has major talent in modeling. As in real, honest-to-goodness talent for looking good in front of the lens. She has that presence that jumps right out of the photo. And at the tender age of five, she instinctively knows just what pose and angle would look good on the picture. I love taking her pictures as much as she loves primping and posing for me. Mind you, she looks great even in stolen shots. Simply put, the camera just loves her.

 

One of these days, I really am going to make a portfolio of her pictures.
