Summer 2011 - Beginnings

Summer has finally started. Moving out of VDC turned out to be even more worrisome than finals, but luckily things worked out in the end thanks to some very helpful and reliable friends. Sad to say, there's too many flakers out there and I'm glad that there's still reliable people. I guess after my moving fiasco last year, I'm always surprised when I can actually depend on someone. For that, thanks you guys. :]

This summer I'm so happy to be able to study abroad in Beijing and HK to learn more about Chinese culture and how each city has evolved into important 21st century centers of commerce. I've never been to Beijing, so I'm more than excited. Despite all the city developments in the nation's capital, I'm more looking forward to traveling to the more rural and traditional parts of Beijing. I've always wanted to felt what it was like to walk the streets of old Beijing, the streets where my ancestors once walked, bought their groceries and housewares and such. People question with what I can now do with my major now that I've switched from a practical one to something that will hardly get me a job. Hard to say, since those who graduated with "practical degrees" have difficulty finding a job. Well, most of us already know that most of the time, the careers that people choose may not even be related to their majors. Aiya. Maybe I'll write more about it on another day.

But since I'll be abroad all summer, it means one thing...... lots of chances for different kinds of photography!! Landscape, architectural, portrait, street... I can't wait try them all and be able to improve my skills and learn as many new things as I can.

I'll be back to write more! Good night everyone. :]
