Lomo Lovin'

I have a great affinity for the underdog and I always have the urge to root for the person who has had the toughest breaks. Perhaps it's a little odd but I see myself as one – and never will I ever consider myself as the alpha male, female, whatever. What most people don't know is that being self-absorbed or superior is the opposite of healthy self-awareness and in life, you're bound to encounter these people and I have – since way back in high school.

Of course, it sure is frustrating to try and have a good dialogue with someone who doesn't give two cents about anything and how they make no effort to evolve intellectually or socially but I strongly believe that humility is important.

As I was saying, being an underdog requires you to be really strong emotionally and mentally because you have to be rooting for yourself, rallying through it all to reach what you want. Alter your expectations, start seeing things in a different, more realistic light. You have every right to change things and you must recognise that you actually can. Never withdraw your belief in yourself.

I've had my fair share of feeling discouraged and distressed halfway through my goal but I am blessed to have a supportive family and my sweet confidant for always reminding me to turn to the Almighty besides reigniting my passion for my special pursuit. They are the reason why I'm holding on to the wave to ride it all the way to success, god willing.

I've had a wonderful week and I'm practically still swelling with overbearing happiness and all I can say is that syukur Alhamdulillah, all praise is to be to Allah for all of His blessings in my life. And oh, I'm thinking of picking up my passion for photography – lomography to be exact and I intend on making this a resolution. Time to get more toy cameras yay!

Here are some of the newly processed pictures from the roll of film I found in my box of procrastination. Sending a couple more rolls this Monday to have them processed. Enjoy!
