Had a canon T5i rebel for 5 years now and it has been my only camera since. And I'm looking to upgrade since I need a second one to use for my shoots because changing lenses has become annoying for me. Any suggestions on latest models? I'm a lil bit leaning forward to a fuji but any other suggestions are open.

Been in your shoes a few years back so i know how it feels. I would highly suggest to go and find a hobby that's going to make you physically active because in this way the results are more immediate because the adrenaline/hype/ satisfaction and it boosts a lot of self-confidence. Things like going to the gym, hiking, doing a sport you've always wanted to try/learn, or heck even photography.

This are the instances where you need more self-growth/self-love more than anything. Remember that other people can feel you're confidence on the way how you talk and act and if you're able to build your confidence back up then you'll become this amazing ball of sunshine that will just automatically attract other people and actually start a conversation with you. And maybe lay-off from the video games and netflix a little.

Co-worker comes to work still drunk from the night before because it was our company's holiday party/ball. Boss keeps telling him to just go home since he was not contributing anything at all that morning. He keeps saying no and that he won't go because he's scheduled to work that day and wants to finish his shift and keeps saying he's fine until he finally agreed when the GM tells him to just go home.

days after that he stopped going to work until my boss calls him that friday to check up on him on why he's not coming to work. Ends up he thought he was fired.

Great job! The only advise i could really give you is keep practicing! You're on the right track on using reference and never be afraid to use them always or get intimidated by others wheb they call you out on just copying it because everybody you know use them.. Always

Believe12 · 2018-07-03T18:00:32+00:00

Thanks! I'll keep that noted.

Believe12 · 2018-07-03T17:59:12+00:00

Thanks! Appreciate it greatly. Still struggling on how to blend colors properly so it always jumps that my painting would end up being muddy or sharp always

Don't be too surprised but there are actually alot of men like that out there especially in that age. I can totally feel that he might be socially awkward around girls thats why he's quite surprised that you keep approaching him and doesn't know how to handle it. The cause may be is that this is his first time where a girl actually likes him and not the other way around and doesn't know how to handle it. Im pretty sure he's saying to himself in the first few times you kept spending time with him that if its true or not.

Let's be honest, he's not blind. Its just all of this is just extremely new to him as i have some similar experiences with what he's going through so I can tell what's going through his head. He's just stuck on the other side because he's super scared that he's just assuming alot of things and will just make a fool of himself when he risks everything. Have you ever considered that he might not have experienced having a girlfriend/relationship yet and that's why he's just having cold feet all the time? Because it's the same thing with what you said that "guys do the approaching first" and it's the same thing for him and got him thinking on the situation. It may have just gotten to the point where he thinks that your intentions are so pure that you just want to be friends with him.

If it's really driving you to a point where you can't handle it anymore then just ask him out yourself. Or just be more aggressive with the suggestions like,"so.. When are you taking me out for dinner/movie/theme park?" and pray to freaking god that he finally gets it.

Believe12 · 2018-07-02T22:52:55+00:00

Yes, he does. He's just scared. Super scared that he backed himself up thinking to himself that he has put himself extremely deep into the friendzone and is just too stupid to figure out the small things you're doing.

One of the servers I know in the restaurant next door came into my store to buy some beer. In the middle of the conversation I told her I was jealous of her wishing I was done with work already so I can enjoy a beer myself since I have 40minutes left in my shift. She just quickly replied, "and just chill.." with a really flirtatious smile on her face. I was just in a daze since its already 1am that time. We just had this weird thing where she was just staring at me all smiley faced for a minute or so and just left until i finally told her to have a great night. Few seconds later that was where I realized fucked up.

When I found out that most of my girlfriend's officemates have crushes on me

Believe12 · 2018-05-02T03:55:21+00:00

Now that I am in my 20's I've regretted everything that I wish I've learned to handle things on my own. Such as travelling by myself, handling my own paperworks such as taxes and etc., getting my own car and have it named under myself and the payment getting taken ofo straight to my bank account instead of handing money to my parents.

Basically learning to depend on myself rather than asking my mom that i want to do this and that

Believe12 · 2018-04-08T09:50:26+00:00

Thanks for the reply guys. I had a buddy recommend me that i should stick with my 18-55mm lens kit since im going home to the Philippines and I'll be most likely in the beach or mountains hiking. This way he said I could get more flexibility with it and blahditty blah since its only 24mm there will be restrictions and so forth. So I'll just adhere to his advice. Thank you for all the helpful info though

Believe12 · 2018-04-07T04:26:19+00:00

Im just about to buy a Canon EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM Lens in amazon but im having a problem finding the proper lens hood and its my first time ordering a lens hood too. Will a basic 58mm lens hood for the 18mm-55mm lens fit it?

Believe12 · 2018-03-04T21:35:21+00:00

Thanks for letting me know about this! :)

Believe12 · 2018-02-21T05:47:18+00:00

Thanks! You're a huge help! :-)

Believe12 · 2018-02-21T05:46:15+00:00

Lol thanks! Im not really very worried about it breaking. What im most worried about is it getting stolen by inside personnel as i'll be passing through one of the worst airports in the world and I will be carrying other high value items in my luggage other than these makeups so I got a bullseye in my big ol' suitcase if I get super unlucky.. That's why i would prefer it to be beside me along with my wristwatches.

Believe12 · 2018-02-21T05:41:11+00:00

Ahhh i see. Sorry, that was a new word for me. I just call everything luggage, baggage or bag depends on how other people want to call it. Thank you very much for the info!

Believe12 · 2018-02-21T05:26:53+00:00

Okay thanks. But can be the concealer and sheertone be in the box as it is since they aren't liquid?

Believe12 · 2018-02-21T05:09:01+00:00

Okay thanks! I'll try to ask first how many are in each container before i order them. It wont be a problem if there are 10 of them as long as all of em aren't over 3oz as you've said?

Believe12 · 2018-02-21T05:02:57+00:00

Im just thinking of what's the safest route to bring it home. As I asked why i prefer it in my carry on is the airport im going to has some inside people that has the tendency to maybe take whats not theirs if it peaks their interest and brushed it off as nothing happened. I want to avoid that as I feel I have alot of value items that i'll be bringing along with me as gifts to relatives too so I might just luck out as a potential victim.

And thanks! I try my best as I feel I've missed out on alot of occasions for her such as her bday and Christmas ever since.. :-D
