4 things #4

Well, this week I did the 4 things that I wrote last week: I practiced some Solid Works (actually I designed a cool mechanical piece in 3D), I practiced the Harris Shutter Effect (I didn't like the result, but I'll practice more), I drank tea every afternoon, and I didn't drink Coke.

So, this week I plan to do this:

1.- Eat salad at least 3 times.

2.- Eat a fruit at least 3 times.

3.- Go out and practice some street photography.

4.- Start a new photographic project (I already have a funny idea).

Russia stamps

I got these stamps from Russia, and I must say that I love them. They're beautiful, and are my first Russian stamps.

China postcards

China postcard

I got these 3 postcards as a swap from Ines, from China. I really like them, specially the one of the cemetery. It might sound weird, but I LOVE taking pictures in cemeteries.

This week's mail

This week I got 2 letters: one from Elena (from Russia) and one from Ines (from China). Ines sent some postcards with her letter. Actually, we arranged a postcard swap, but we also sent letters, and now we're pen pals.

Outgoing mail

Today I sent an intro letter to Vesna, in Slovenia. We don't know how much time will it take to arrive there, but we hope it won't be so long. Also, I included a nice postcard for her. At this moment, I don't have any more letters to write/reply, so I won't be updating this until I get something else.

4 things #3

This week was better at finishing my goals: Washed my car, finished this book, wrote a letter (although I'm still preparing that small envelope with nice things) and found some white address labels (now I'll try to print something nice on them). Now, this week I plan to do this:

1.- Practice more with Solid Works.

2.- Practice the Harris Shutter Effect on GIMP or Photoshop (I already took the pictures).

3.- Drink a cup of tea every afternoon.

4.- Stop drinking Coke.

4 things #2

Well, this week I didn't do all the things that I proposed last Sunday: I started a new book (No habrá final, by Roberto Echeto) and I cleaned my desk, but I wasn't able to wash my car and I didn't take the pictures to try the Harris Shutter Effect (I only used my camera yesterday to take pictures for my previous posts). So this week I'm planning to do these things:

1.- Wash my car (it's a must).
2.- Finish reading this new book.
3.- Write a letter and prepare a little envelope with nice things.
4.- Try to find some address labels (it isn't easy here in Venezuela).
