...

When I first got my digital camera, I didn’t take pictures right away. I continued to use my disposal camera. My son, who is also taking an interest in photography, asked me if he could borrow my camera. I showed him how to use it and explained the features it contained. He took a couple of pictures and even figured out how to do video clips. He was excited! Of course, he now wants his very own digital camera. He and I took several other interesting pictures.

When our pet, Beau, got sick, I took pictures of him days before he passed away. My daughter also made a video clip of him with my digital.

Now, I come to find out that my son had taken my camera (without my permission) and somehow ended up erasing all the pictures. I can’t believe it! I’m so upset!

He was wrong in taking my camera and I told him so. But it is my fault for not taking better care of it and for not having the pictures downloaded before something like this could happen. I kept telling myself to do it but I would either forget or kept leaving it for another day.

It’s so typical of me, whether it’s my camera, clothes, food, or anything else. Always waiting until the last minute and that’s why things like this happen. The other day, I bought some fruits and vegetables so that I can eat them instead of junk food. Every time I saw the apple or salad, I would think to myself, “I’ll eat it tomorrow”. Well, tomorrow never came, because by the time I actually wanted to eat one, it was already spoiled!

Last night, I was folding my clothes and found a five-dollar bill. I knew if I put it down, I’d probably forget about it so I put it in my pocket instead. Later, and of course forgetting that I had in my pocket, I put my pants in the wash. Fortunately, I found the $5 again in the washing machine. Since it was wet, I picked the bill out of the wash and, I thought I set it down to dry, but then again, I thought I put it back in my pocket. Well, as of yet, I still can’t find it….! That’s what I get for not taking the time in doing things the right way.

I hate doing things in a rush. But it seems like I’m always rushing. I have a hundred things running through my mind and I'm not really paying attention to what I'm doing.

As far as my pictures go, I know they were just pictures but it hurt to lose the little memories I had of my beloved Beau!

Pues ya ni modo!
