Birthday – photo’s – losing my home?

Well, time for an update.

Yesterday was my 22nd birthday. I had a good day, taking it easy and having some visitors over. I also got cool gifts, the most noteable being a digital camera. That is something I have wanted for a while, I am very fond of photography somehow but never had a good camera. This one does not fulfill all of my dreams but it’ll get me started. Some results are shown below (click to magnify):

Disclaimer: these photo’s are grainy when zoomed in but they have not been edited at all. These came directly from the camera (the camera has some nice colour filter options).

I also passed an exam. About time, it was my third attempt (I really didn’t like the subject). I’m glad to see my studies are going better. I hope I can keep it up.

There’s also some bad news. One of my ex housemates has died. He apparently got killed in a traffic accident on a freeway involving 5 cars. I only lived with him for a month but he was a very, very nice and sincere guy. To make it worse, the house me and my housemates live in is officially still his (rented under his name). What we’re doing is semi-legal actually, the plan was that I live here for two years with the house still on his name so that my name could be placed on the contract without us having to pay a lot of money. That won’t be possible now and we’re really at the mercy of a corporation. However, I think it should be ok. The worst-case scenario is that we’re getting kicked out, but this is very unlikely. The best case is that the current contract continues under my name.

That’s it for now.
