when you're holed up in a hotel room on a rainy friday night, what do you do? take a selfie.
i am participating in the 52-week photography challenge whereby you take a photo a week with designated themes. this week the theme is self portrait. here's a link to that challenge: http://dogwood.photography/52weekchallenge.html
update on my apartment situation. the packers have packed my living room, kitchen and hallway. i don't know if they will be working tomorrow, but the faster they get my crap out of there, the better. the landlord only did a cursory cleaning and did not hire a professional cleaner. so i decided to terminate my rent and now i am on the lookout for a new apartment. i've calculated my expenses and i have enough to stay here at days inn until the 26th when i leave for manila. hopefully, i find one before i leave so my stuff can be moved in there.
my connection here at the hotel is so bitchy! i can't open my email account, i can't open ribbet, and skype keeps on disconnecting. the one good thing is that there is not a lot of restaurants around me, just a donut shop, a convenience store, an irish pub, and kentucky fried chicken (ugh!) most times this week, i have not eaten supper. but tomorrow, i will go somewhere and have a proper breakfast of omelette as i am really tired of toast and peanut butter and/or jam.
you will forgive me if i haven't done any commenting. i am extremely upset about that, if you must know. but thank you for your kind visits and comments; know that they are greatly appreciated.
tagging this for the weekly theme of portrait and for the ongoing tag challenge #123 - my tags were "black and white" and "self portrait".
Oh Vikki...life is treating you very cruelly at the present (except in other matters ;) SO SORRY to read all this! Know you're in my thoughts and wow..Manila! Have a wonderful trip! PLEASE bring back lots of photos to share! I found the last you showed me to be very interesting!
Lovely capture. I always enjoy seeing your happy face, guaranteed to bring a smile. I am going to do this 52 week challenge but was thinking of starting with week two since you know how I love doing self portraits! Sorry to hear about your apartment. Send positive vibes that you get something suitable before leaving for Manilla.
Keep your chin up Vikki, things can only get better, good luck in the hunt for a new home. You still look wonderful in your selfie (as always) Hugs from him and me.
Hi! :) Just wanted to remind you to change the tag from 52wc-2016 to 52wc-2016-w1, since we decided to tag it by week now. Just trying to organize the first week's entries so that everyone can see who is participating and there is no confusion for week 2. Thanks! The tag for the second week (landscape, traditional) will be 52wc-2016-w2 and so on....
Sorry to hear about all your misery but it is God's way of making you appreciate the good things!
I will also point out--at the risk of being cliche--that we both know that the apartment disaster is the Universe's way of sending you a message.
Can't wait to see your photos of manila!
