088/365 – I go to school here?!
I just realized that I go to school at a hospital. And i never had this realization even when i attended clinical at Lions Gate Hospital or Vancouver General Hospital.
Just what do i do here? Well, just as every nursing student, i help patients get better and i empower them through teaching. It’s really a rewarding job.
087/365 – Wow! Monstrous Heads!
I saw these on a friend’s blog and i just had to see them for myself! They ARE really really big! I tried to compose and compose and compose using an iphone to show you how big they were, but seriously, i couldnt get it done.
Anyways, so after i saw these, i headed straight to future shop to have a gander at the 7D. (you like that word; Gander? fancy eh?)
082/365 – Little White Chapel…
Today, I came early to Richmond Hospital so that i could try to photocopy some material at the library. But the library was closed, so i went straight to the place where i would meet the rest of my clinical group. Since i was caught up with work and was prepared for the day, i started to think about what i would post for my 365. I opened the blinds in the boardroom and immediately, I saw the white chapel that’s placed behind the theater and the hospital. Coincidently, there seemed to be a wedding happening, so i decided to run outside and take pictures with my iPhone.
081/365 – Just a friendly reminder…
Just wanted to remind you to wash your hands! STOP the bugs! I’d love to go to those skytrains and wipe them down with a caviwipe. Maybe I’ll do it this thursday just to see how dirty those railings are…
075/365 – Hip Replacement
So today, we were able to have a tour of the OR at Richmond Hospital. It was really cool but I realized that it may or may not be meant for me because they usually stand for longs hours at a time. Even standing at one position made my lower back and the balls of my feet hurt.
To make a long story short, at the end of the amazing tour, we were playing with the implants that they put into people. This implant is for people in need of hip replacements. It may or may not look big in the photo but it’s HUGE! The shaft alone is as long as half of your thigh! So what they do is replace the ball joint in your hip with that thing right there. A hole is drilled into your femur and the shaft is hammered into your femur so it stays in place! Isn’t that terrific? Well I thought it was pretty cool.
041/365 – Pattullo Bridge
This photo comes straight out of the iPhone. I was coming home and i passed by front street and because of major traffic, i was able to snap this photo of the Pattullo Bridge. I didnt have my 5D with me so too bad… so sad. hahahah.
Lately, Vancouver weather has been more cooperative and i would like to ask for about 2 weeks of sunshine for my break and maybe 3 days of snowfall so that i can take portraits in the snow and in the sun. Regardless, i will be snapping photos away.
My finals are in about a week so it’s time to really focus! 
See you all on the other side!
020/365 – Dream on… – Taken while driving.
In the back of my mind i’ve always wanted a fast car like this audi R8. But something inside of me says that i am pretty stupid to even think about fast cars because of 1 reason – its not the best investment to make as cars depreciate in value faster than you can drive it. And i know that it’s a good idea to buy a vehicle worth more than 30K. Maybe this is just me being too cheap. haha. who knows.
And btw. I WOULD NEVER BUY THE AUDI R8. you wanna know why? it doesnt have a sunroof. 
015/365 – On every 3rd week – Taken at the barbers
On every 3rd week i usually get a haircut. My hair gets really long to the point that when i wake up, it usually looks like a bomb went off in my hair. I try my best to not do my hair, because its such a chore for me. It’s that one extra thing i have to do when i wake up. WOW lazy eh?
Well the thing is, whenever i have to go to clinical, i have to wake up at 5.30 and get out of bed by 5.45. I have to get out of the house by 6 which leaves me 15 minutes to wake myself up, take a shower, get changed, eat breakfast, and look prepared and confident to kick ass in clinical. So if my hair is short, and naturally combs itself, then its that one less thing i have to do in the morning.
014/365 – I like my 85mm – Taken at home
Today, I spent a good amount of my day at the hospital and at home. I was able to go out and shoot because i basically had to study for my nursing exam thats happening tomorrow.
Whenever i study in my room, i always have my camera on my table. Whenever i feel stressed, i always take a photo or two of the things around my room.
Today, I am posting a picture of my camera. I seriously like my 85L. I sold my 70-200mm f2.8L IS for it and i dont have a single regret. With this lens i can be more discreet as only photo nerds know the capabilities of this lens. This lens is stunning in terms of build quality, and the photos that it can achieve are unmatched by similar lenses thanks to its wide aperture, and amazing color rendition. I believe that it’s the perfect focal length for me for my projects and my work.
012/365 – This is my ride. – taken on the bridgeport platform.
Since the canada line skytrain opened, i’ve been commuting to school as oppose to driving there. Sure it takes a little longer as oppose to the 30 minute commute by driving, but i’m not complaining when i consider how much gas money i am saving.
The skytrain takes 24 minutes to get downtown, 12 to get to langara from bridgeport. thats really fast – now only if i lived right in front of the skytrain. The longest part of my commute would have to be the 404 that i take home.
