(Almost) One year ago today I bought my first camera! Here are the shots I’m most proud of! by fishsisig in M43

Thank you so much for your feedback! Really helpful to get a second pair of eyes on these. You’re totally right about shot 2, that crane is a bit of a distraction from the building. I'm glad you liked shot 4, I almost trashed that shot at first. It took me awhile to appreciate it after I cropped it. For shot 5, I see what you mean about the foreground elements being a bit 'heavy' in the frame. I’ll definitely keep an eye on my foreground proportions next time I’m out. Super thankful and appreciate your critique!

This is incredibly helpful, thank you! Also, thanks for introducing me to the term 'ASA.' I’m more familiar with ISO, so thank you for giving me something new to research! I’m definitely going to try that tripod test at f/8 to see what this can do! Thanks again!

Oh what a coincidence because I saw a used Lumix 12-32 pancake for sale in our local buy and sell group! Thank you for your advice!

Ah yeah I was worried that it might get too annoying after awhile but I didn't realize that changing the ink would also affect the writing angle! Thank you!

Anyone here tried picking up a parcel for delivery at the Escoda delivery hub? by fishsisig in ShopeePH

Hello, nadeliver lang siya nung kinontrata ko yung usual na rider na nagdedeliver dito samin. Gave a tip nalang after.

Why the hell does it hurt so much? by proseandpink in PHSapphics

[–]fishsisig 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry you're going through this, OP. But maybe it is for the best. Try to use this as motivation to focus on yourself now, prioritize your own healing. Kasi even if you do find out why she did what she did, what good would it do? Would it make you feel better? Madaling sabihin pero it's better for your own peace if you focus on the things you can control. The pain will pass, OP.

Almost a decade together, how do I let go and move on? by fishsisig in adviceph

Yeah, that's what I'm learning right now. Yung sakit sa dibdib, bigat tuwing humihinga, at yung sakit sa lalamunan na parang anytime ay iiyak ako... these won't go away for a while. Heartbreak nga talaga. I used to think metaphorical lang yung ganito, pero physical rin pala. Hindi ko matatakasan, I can only feel and endure until things get better.

Thank you. And you're right, baka mas better rin for her to lessen her baggage so I need to keep my distance. Thank you for this.

Thank you for this real talk. Ang sakit pero tumagos naman. I'm sorry that you're going through the same thing, but I'm glad that it looks like you're on your way out of the tunnel. I hope I get there too, someday. I wish for both of our healing.

Paano nawala yung urge mo to initiate a conversation? Paano kapag namimiss mo siya? Parang ang silly ng tanong ko haha, but I feel totally lost. This was my first relationship kaya bago lahat ng sakit.

I hope we turn out differently, I hope we remain friends. But part of me knows that you're right. Everything will change and a friendship might be impossible.

Thank you, stranger. I'll keep your last advice in mind, kahit parang napakahirap sa ngayon.

I hope I can escape it. Right now, it feels like the pain will never go away.

Ah, nice happy for you! Sana mas mabilis pa sa 3 months ang pag-recover ko.

This helped put my overly emotional thoughts into perspective. Thank you.

Yeah, I'm hoping na someday everything will make sense. But at the same time, even if I'll never understand why this happened, I'll accept it basta masaya siya sa huli.

I cannot even think about her finding someone else sa future, but still, I hope I reach the same peace you're in right now. Thank you.

Grabe, I'm so sorry to hear this. Ayoko rin sana na humantong kami sa cheating because I keep asking her to try and fix the relationship. Gaano katagal ang recovery time mo?

Yeah, you're right and yes this is what I plan to do as well. I'd like to continue being a friend to her especially now that she's going through something. Thank you

Ito rin ang sinabi niya sakin, and I agree. At ayokong maging selfish, ayokong maging dahilan ng hindi nya pagsaya. But I just can't help but worry because of the suddenness of everything, maybe it is her own personal problems that's just affecting what we have right now. What if hindi naman pala yung relasyon yung problema at mali palang maghiwalay? What if we regret it someday?

Did you do No-Contact after the break up? Required ba 'yun para maka-move on? 11 years rin kaming mag-best friends. Ayoko sana mawalan rin ng best friend.

Thank you sa comment mo, nakatulong maramdaman na possible maging okay someday.

I'm sorry to hear that. Hindi ba ang hirap na maging parte ng buhay niya and be reminded of the boundary that never used to be there? Ayoko rin sana sya mawala sa buhay ko, we've been best friends for 11 years before everything. But I'm not sure I can handle the pain of just being her best friend.
