My Flickr project 365 and the Haute Mess Award

At last, I've decided to give in to these popular daily photo projects on Flickr - 365 Days, Project 365, 365 Days Project and 365. (Yeah, they're 4 separate groups with almost similar titles.) I've been contemplating about them. I know it's difficult but I want to take the challenge. I most likely will get the kind of discipline I want by being able to meet "personal" deadlines. There will also be self-gratification, of course. Hopefully!

Sophia 1/365: Picture Me
"Picture me," she said. She wants to join in, too. :)

When I became active in Flickrworld (about 2 years ago), I already tried the non-self-portrait Project 365. Unfortunately, I gave up after posting my 101st photo. Boy, was I stressed! I came home late at night from work - tired, dizzy (due to vertigo) and cramming about my next upload. I was kinda obsessed for awhile while my ailing body was screaming 'stop'. I frequently heard its voice through hubby. He said a once-a-week photo will be just fine. I didn't think so. My obsessiveness halted when I learned about 52-Week Self-Portrait, of which I'm currently participating. I got my 30th photo (iPhone, right) up today and, at the same time, it is my first entry to project365. I must admit I was kinda stressing when I did this on Day 1. I said to myself, 'Whoa! What did I get myself into . . . again?' But this morning, Day 3, I had a feeling I'm gonna make it! D-I-S-C-I-P-L-I-N-E ! ! !

As an added bonus or challenge to myself, I included my daughter on this project. As I post my day-to-day photo, hers will be shared on my comment section on Flickr. I will also be adding Sophia365 on my (non-daily) blog entries like this. After all, this is my our online diary.

Sophia 2/365: Morning ABCs

Yay! The Diary of a Flickrite is FINALLY a true Flickrite's diary.

She got sick on the afternoon of Day 2.

...then she said, "More please..." A fruit cup, that is. :)
