Long distance calling

At last, he came along.

The final countdown

Ready?

Set!

And here we go.

10 long days to the biggest day in her life. And, for sure, in mine. I cannot wait to see her taking such an important step.

No turning-back

The food is amazingly good. I feel healthier than ever.

What else?

Old choices made easy

“And my soul, from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor

Shall be lifted – nevermore”

Let it rest, let it go. Better days are now prevailing. If we compare to previous doubtful phases, where whether to follow aquatic science was a big decision to consider. I still remember what made me come here. I still remember how many choices I wrote on the list where we were supposed to write 6. I wrote one. ONE! It was either this or nothing. Why should I consider doing something else? This is what I wanted. This is what I still want. And this is what I am doing. I am glad I made this choice, for I think it was the right one.

Those who think their paths are somehow being misconducted, try to focus on your goal. If that does not help, maybe it is time to change. I keep repeating this, because I think it is extremely important: if you are not happy with what you are doing, change it!

by E A Poe in "The Raven"

“Dance, dance, otherwise we are lost”

We are lost anyway. The point is that if we all dance our bodies out, we will definitely be happier.

Try it! The body works, the mind follows. Or is it the other way around? Sigh. This is exactly what I love in dance.

Small fish

“They eat according to their size.”

Is this news to you? We all eat according to our size. At least that is what we are supposed to eat. Greedy people should be aware that their stomach may explode for all the food they are trying to squeeze in.

Our nutritional requirements are usually proportional to our size. Therefore, smaller means lower demands, thus being able to avoid overexploiting the sources. Specially the natural sources. The Earth is supposed to fully accommodate all species living within. However, if we adopt an unnatural behaviour, such as consuming more and more, the outcome is obvious. The sources supply will no longer meet mankind demands.

Pairs of light

A tripod. A 135 mm film. Shot once. Shot twice.

I am a big fan of double exposures. This is what I’ve got out of the blue, which made it much more interesting.

Ponds, lakes, rivers

I feel a little bit claustrophobic here. Lets move back to my dear oceans, please.

Getting there

I am slowly getting somewhere. Results are being processed and I am glad to see it is working.

A goal was presented to me and I deliberately moved all my efforts towards it. Nicely done, Miss!

Appreciation

ap·pre·ci·a·tion

[uh-pree-shee-ey-shuhn]

1. gratitude; thankful recognition: They showed their appreciation by giving him a gold watch.

2. the act of estimating the qualities of things and giving them their proper value.

3. clear perception or recognition, especially of aesthetic quality: a course in art appreciation.

4. an increase or rise in the value of property, goods, etc.

5. critical notice; evaluation; opinion, as of a situation, person, etc.

Are you appreciating?

Contrasting results

Whenever there is a non-reliable product, one should not give up!

Instead, one should look for similar products and “fill-in the gaps”.

Interpolation may not be the most-reasonable approach, since there might be a lot of assumptions. I came across with some neat approaches on this issue. Do not get overwhelmed by the lack of data is definitely the first step. Then, one just needs to relax, take a deep breath, and dig in!

Pond fishing

Funny enough, they were there.

Great days!

Restart

Deep inside, every single one of us is sure that our past expectations will be overcome by today’s achievements. No one is exactly sure how to reach the point-of-no-return (PNR. Ok, for the sake of misunderstandings, let us add one more letter, PONR), yet everyone makes wishes on the last days of the year. Whether you are a truly believer, or an atheist, you may easily find yourself wrapped into this state of mind.

In any case, allow me to suggest the following: keep your objectives in mind, and try not to diverge from them. If you do, make sure you find the most likely explanations for that/those deviation(s). Most of the times, there is no single path to achieve a single objective, so bear that in mind.

Fresh start, fresh new beginning! Maybe not, but who cares? My point being: greatly distancing yourself from what you really are may end up in another person, which is not a good sign. Unless you exactly wish to completely change yourself, you should aim at the latter and avoid the former. Every human being requires a goal in life, in order to fully embrace the art of “living the life” (redundancy). To a certain extent, even if unconsciously, everyone has at least one goal in life. One may not know now what is his/her goal, but it does not mean it is not there.

I have mine. You have yours. Let us just hope they are not mutually exclusive.
