Panning

Ace checked on me once more. He was here for lunch yesterday bringing with him some food. He knew I was working and before I went online, I haven’t cooked food for my lunch. Hence, he was here to see if I am really eating lunch. Every time he goes to work he was reminding me to eat and he seemed not convinced if I tell him I am eating here. :-) Frankly, I like it this way.LOL. But Ace can’t just come home every lunch….not unless he will not commute.

After lunch, I went back to work, volunteered to log out early because I need to shoot for my assignment in Panning (shooting subjects in motion, keeping it focused while blurring the background). I went out to the street and started shooting with the camera mounted on the tripod. I thought I don’t need tripod for this shoot but Rhoen suggested that I should use to prevent camera shake. I had a hard time learning how to do panning. While I am reading how to do it, it seems very easy but practically hard to get it right. It took me numerous shots before I got my desired shot. Finally! I tell you, it’s really not easy as others are saying it needs much practice and luck.

After the shoot, I went back home and worked in OHJ. I just logged off when Ace arrived from work. We had pork BBQ for dinner and our favorite…COKE. See, I am a coke addict and Ace is becoming one. My addiction is contagious.LOL.

13 long hours

Filed under Jobs, Life

Whew! It’s been a loooooooong day! I slept around 1am and woke up by Doreamon saying “may isang mensahe (you have 1 message)” then followed by a call from Inah, a fellow coder in in my online work. Ace’ message alert tone is Doreamon and he’s having fun with it. I too likes listening to Doraemon. For almost 2 weeks, our phones are ringing almost every night. You see, the captchas in OHJ are overflowing that they need more hands to enter it. Upon hearing Doraemon’s voice, I instantly stoop up and turned on the PC…it’s 0427H. It’s still dark outside. Ace just pee and went back to sleep while I was left coding in the living room until he wake up again, prepared and left for work. I just asked for a 15-min break when he emerged from the bathroom so that I could assist him with what he needs. Really, my husband needs me everytime he’s dressing up because he needs my suggestion and approval on what he’ll wear.

I am planning to log-out after Ace left for work so that I could get back to sleep to have enough energy for my 10AM shift but the Q was high that we even need more hands. After an hour, some coders logged in so I had time to take a break for 1 hour and returned to work around 10 until 6PM. Really, that was a long day. I didn’t even had a decent meal. I didn’t had enough rice. I just ate the muffins Ace brought home the other night and a fruit salad. That was all I had for the day. The captchas are non-stop. Promise, it’s non-stop that I felt my fingers are getting stiff. I used my break periods to massage my fingers a little bit to ease the pain that I’m starting to feel.

3 hours before my shift will end, my head started to ache and  I was just gently massaging my nape and forehead when I happen to touch a pimple that is starting to appear on the latter. Oh, this must be the effect of lack of sleep. I hope it will only remain as a pimple and not develop into acne because for sure I cannot afford to have the best acne treatment. So I need more sleep starting tonight. I hope I could get at least 6 hours this time. Then, I must finish every pending thing so that I could retire for the day earlier than usual.
