Status Update

It has been about her and will be about her mostly. My girl who will be born in 2 months time. It has come to a point that the wife is complaining that she is being demoted, even before Isabelle is born.

Thao is coping extremely well so far, being her usual cheerful mood most of the time even as Isabelle creates havoc inside with her kicks and punches throughout the day. I hope Isabelle will inherit this character of hers.

I had my share of disappointment and temper outbreak last week when I got news that my Masters application is unsuccessful. I guess its because I experienced few setbacks in life so far. That has to be brought under control once Isabelle is around. Thao bore the brunt of my short fuse, and got me out of that mode in no time. I heeded her advice and will try another programme next year.

After 3 years shooting for a local paper, the mundane and effort-wasting jobs just got to me. My passion for photography is not lost, and I hate to fall into the comfort zone. Put it simply, Im not at a crossroad, instead, Im looking for the direction that will lead me to the highway.

For now, I will keep trying to further my studies and anticipate anxiously for the arrival of our child. The cot is still in the box and the stroller is still unfixed. Can't wait to get my hands on them and let our girl warm the bed, or even wet it.
