Not sure I enjoy being a student again

I’ve had to pull back on my blogging this year due to my increased workload. In addition to working full time and managing a life outside of work, I spend many of my evenings and weekends completing coursework. Fortunately, this hellish workload should be finished by May and I can resume photography and blogging at my usual pace. In the meantime, I’ll continue positing as I can; I’ve managed to keep this thing alive for 8 1/2 years and amRead more

I’m doing this because 4,400 men die of prostate cancer in Canada each year and one in six men will be diagnosed during his lifetime. This is a cause that I feel passionately about andRead more

November update: Japan, Coursework, Stress.

I was there for nearly two weeks, but unfortunately have had absolutely no time to go through the 2,000 or so photos. I’m in the midst of research and writing a case study, so most other aspects of fun, socialization, or exercise has taken a massive hit. In fact, this trend will be continuing until June. It’s a rough yearRead more

Back in Manila in a new condo

Just a quick update to say that I didn’t fall off a cliff or get detained by the Filipino customs officers. I’ve just been wickedly busy these past two weeks since returning from the States. I foolishly scheduled our return flight to arrive the night before starting work. Serious jet lag abound. Work is going well, jumping right back into things, but have even more on my plate this year. If this all wasn’t enough, you may recall that IRead more
