Four in the morning, I really should be asleep now. I still have work tomorrow. But I can’t sleep. My body clock has already been set to sleep at 5 or 6 in the morning. But this shouldn’t be the case right now. I really should be sleeping now. My work is no joke – being a wedding photographer takes a whole lot of energy. Well, I guess I’ll just wish myself a bunch of luck later. Hope I don’t fall into sleep during the wedding ceremony. Or else my brother will kill me.My brother’s the head of the studio - Daniel Lei Studio – his name. The name itself is self-explainable. well, his name is actually Lei Daniel. He just re-arranged it for the studios name. he says that it sounds rather more catchy than his real name. He hired me as a part-timer. I guess. We have at least 4 weddings per month and I earn 500php per wedding. I already don’t receive any allowance since it is summer. So 500php isn’t bad I guess. Rather than not having any money at all for summer. [Well, I still don’t have any money this summer actually. I’m currently paying this laptop. So no wage until this laptop’s fully paid]I was just reading this book [AGAIN] – Remember me by Sophie Kinsella -- An attempt to make myself sleepy. It didn’t work well apparently. [PATHETIC ATTEMPT # 1] I just ended up getting bored with reading. I stopped reading and grabbed a dictionary to look for these massive words I’ve noted down that I don’t really understand. My dad says that what I’m doing is having a word-bank. It’s when I note down all the words that I don’t understand. But after I’ve searched for its meaning, I still keep on forgetting the meanings in the end.I grabbed this huge Webster dictionary from the shelf. I stopped. Then I remembered that I can easily use the internet dictionary instead. suddenly, my dictionaries and thesauruses officially became a shelf decoration.[idle post. so no smiley and whatnots. SORRY! i'll try to make it up in my next post :)]
6:oo in the morning. Lately, this has been my regular bedtime range 
. Even after an exhausting day. Sometimes I find it hard sleeping anymore specially seeing the sun rising already and everyone just waking up. I just force myself to sleep. I then wake up in the afternoon.

Last night I attended TSC’s EB gathering at Starbuck, Araneta, after months of absence. I didn’t really want to come along. My brother just forced me too. I brought my laptop there so I could play Grand Chase in case of boredom
. But after getting bored in playing too, I just decided to learn AGAIN some basic card tricks and technical moves. Wonder if would ever get back to magic…
[TSC - The Story Circle - is an online and real world community and forum for magic Philippines. I was a magician in TSC back then before I became a photographer. I was influenced by my older brother because he’s one of the founders of TSC. But I don’t regret it. Being a magician’s fun but after learning and performing a few tricks, I realized that I’d rather be a spectator

After coming home from TSC, my brother let me borrow his violin
. A rather OLD one [ ten years or so ]. I remember him having a violin back when I was still a wee little kid, but I never remember hearing him playing it even once. Odd. Anyhow, though it’s old, the fact that my brother modified it to be oh so UNIQUE and easier to use makes me love it.
My brother modified the turning pegs of the violin and exchanged it with a guitar’s turning pegs. He said it’s easier to tune the violin in that way. Plus, it’s unique because it’s the only violin with guitar turning pegs. Really cool.
We found the bow of the violin broken inside the case
. So I still couldn’t try whether it still works or not. I’m going to buy a new bow for it when I save up enough money from my allowance oh, I really hope it still works. *crosses fingers*

I’ve been inspired to learn the violin by the movie “August Rush”. 
A very stunning movie
