4/365 : streetsidelampshade

I guess, while everybody aims to make the last day of their vacations really [rock], for the most of us, we just realize how anticlimactic it really is when we get to it.

Tomorrow I go back to work. My vacation had been fun, even though we had plans for a somewhat more fulfilling one (that sadly did not push through), but again, it was fulfilling in its own grand way.

I was kind of apathetic the whole day today; I managed to get off my behind and snap the base picture for this photomanip during the night time. When I got back to my desk though, I found that I used the wrong ISO settings for it, and the image had too much noise and JPEG artifacts. >_______> That's sort of the reason why I had to drastically edit this in Photoshop. No major manipulations though, just some stuff to mask / hide the image noise.

Oh, how I really wish I could afford an SLR/DSLR camera, especially in situations like these.

Anyway, I'm half-dreading, half-excited for tomorrow. We have another Japanese exam, gah.

And Ching is still sick. :( I find myself worrying so much for her, especially with school coming up.
