I never thought I'd be good with photos
When I first tried processing my film for FOTOGRA class in school last week (with Dave's help), half the shots were totally ruined because we mixed up the chemical solutions wrong. But when I viewed the negatives under the light, it seemed to look pretty good.
I got another roll of black-and-white film (36 shots) and used it up yesterday. Then I had it developed today. I first stopped by Kodak in Torre Lorenzo near school, but then they said that it would take them 2-3 days to process and develop everything, since black and white photos are processed and developed manually. I tried my luck at Konica right across the Torre Lorenzo building, but they said that they can't process the film (though they do develop processed black and white film). The lady there told me that I should have it processed at Fuji then have the film developed in Konica, so it would come out cheaper than having everything done in Fuji. But when I went to Fuji, I asked them to both process and develop the film there. They charged my P100 for the processing, and P15 for each photo developed. Arg, it was pretty expensive, but I had to get it done today. But good thing I left my cell phone number at Fuji, because they sent me a text message that they ran out of the 5R photo paper that I needed, so I just had them process the film.
I returned to Konica once the film was processed. That was when I found out that they charged only P10 for each 5R photo. P5 less than at Fuji! I was actually pretty lucky that Fuji ran out of paper. I saved a lot of money by returning to Konica.
When the pictures were done, I realized that I was pretty good at taking pictures. When I showed my mom the photos, she was amazed to see things that were actually found in our own front yard. Even my dad and our neighbor, Mr. Araneta, were impressed. Wow. ^_^
Anyway.
Wow, I heard from Kel that he stood as best man at a wedding yesterday. And not just any wedding, but his own blockmate's wedding to their other blockmate. Wow, it makes me feel pretty old. Or maybe they're just too young to get married, and got married for some obvious reason. Oh well. Whatever.
Oh yeah, here's another quiz result. Got this from Mojoflea (again). I'm getting so addicted to these. ^_^
