Rummaging through mobile photos in my gallery view turned out a few photos that I'd like to share with you today, with minor editing and adjustments.
1. Entrepreneurial Spirit
I found this mobile vendor near our place a couple of weeks ago. He sold really good coffee at Php40.00 only (around US$0.80) and thought that this was a good idea. He doesn't pay rent and serves delivery riders and passers by in the area. Chatting with the guy, I found out that Richard was a barista at one of the high end coffee places in Quezon City. He lost his job during the pandemic and started selling different coffee concoctions from the back of his car. It just goes to show that we are hindered only by our imagination and resourcefulness in doing business. The Sagada Arabica coffee he prepared for me was fantastic. (*not the best photo I've captured on mobile. I was tired and my hands were not steady.)
2. A Hard Day's Night
Making a living is important but sometimes we tend to focus too much on work. We also have family, community life, and our own personal growth and development. I consider myself lucky to be able to do the things I want to do and earn from it. Crypto and blogging can be rewarding and enjoyable at the same time. So, even if I'm "working like a dog", I'm still happy with what I do. And you know what they say, "if you love what you do, then you'll never work a day in your life."
3. Christmas Decor
It's the most wonderful time of the year. The song reflects my attitude and perception of Christmas growing up. I've since found out about crass commercialism and people exploiting the holiday spirit for their profit, but my attitude hasn't changed. Maybe it's because of the way I was brought up or experiences during this time. I don't really know. We tried to put in a few decors to have that feel and glow of Christmas inside the house.
4. The Christmas Spirit
At the end of it all, we should remember that the reason why we celebrate Christmas is because of this holy man named Jesus Christ.
5. Greetings.
Finally, I would like to wish you a Merry Christmas. Share the love and blessings to everyone.
P.S.
Looking at photos from my mobile phone and doing some minor editing on it didn't really improve the quality of the output from a "technical" view. However, I chose the photos in this post because of the subject itself, the composition, and just being part of the story that I wanted to tell. Hopefully, I can have better quality mobile photos to upload. I am also working on how to edit better.
That's it for now. Hope you all liked what I shared. Anyway, please comment if you have suggestions on how I can improve or maybe things that I could have done differently to have better photos.
Thanks and stay safe.
