The internet is "public"?

This post goes out to Ken who's claimed he's only read one of my posts. But he's a dirty liar...or a gentleman and he was trying to be diplomatic when he lied.

I'm having to make clarifications too often. This isn't good. Perhaps I should just keep my mouth shut. That might be preferable. Perhaps if I refrain from publishing my thoughts online then I could save myself a lot of trouble and discomfort.

But I've come this far. So what the hell, eh?

Let's see--a little bit of drama this week.
I sent in my NARM application documents to APPLY to write my midwifery certification exam in the US in February. They extended the dead-line because I was having trouble getting some papers. I never thought the day would come then I would use the excuse 'there are typhoons in the Philippines and it's hard to travel between islands' to give myself more time to put together my APPLICATION to write an 8-hour exam.
They received my docs but things are missing, of course. Nothing in life is easy.

Today I finally caved and got winter tires. I really do notice a difference and am already a lot more confident driving. However, in my brain new winter tires translates into 'anything under me that touches the ground is now very grippy'. This isn't true. Yet I now walk and run down the icy streets with abandon thinking, it's ok! I have new winter-tires.

Um what else...I've had two photo gigs this week--which is a nice treat. And what I mean by that is it's immensely stressful. But people are starting to recognize my work here and there and I'm getting more and more requests. It's nice...and immensely stressful.
Here's a shot from this week:

Children are cute but rarely smile on command. It's annoying. Not the children---the way it makes me look as a photographer. Un-pro-fesh.
