I Was Pissed Off!


. . . At myself! Yeah, you read it right; at my own self! Why???

We went to the Ethnographic Open-Air Museum last Saturday. It was such a perfect and lovely day; in a fetching place with my family. I was kinda overdressed for it, but I don't care! The 4 of us had fun walking around the 100 hectares open-air museum. It has homesteads, several churches, windmills, smithies and brick-kilns. It is situated beside a river which is just absolutely spectacular! They have old wooden houses that dates back to the 17th - 18th century. Kaiden didn't mind the very long walk because he's having so much fun talking with his Dada about everything that he sees along the way. We had a traditional Latvian lunch in of course, an open area. The whole place is very nice! We walked through the woods, almost like in a forest, sans the wild animals.

And what would a good place be without taking pics?!!! The photographer-wannabe in me took a lot of snaps! I literally mean about 200 shots! I took a photo of the whole place, with us of course. I loved my shots and poses! Plus the fact that I was with my family. We had a number of winsome family pics too!

We all got tired after such a walk so we had some snacks first before we head home.

Home we were. Got nothing to do, then I decided to play with the camera. I don't know how it suddenly got 2 folders, so I was trying to delete the 2nd one. Then I accidentally deleted all the photos! I froze! I really did! I can't believe what I've done! I was like . . . Urggghhhh!!!! I hated myself! I feel like a shrew getting mad at myself! I checked and double checked, but all the photos are gone. It all were. Hu! Hu! Hu! All those lovely 200 photos to nothing! It was really sayang! I should have uploaded it to the computer first before playing with the camera. All that Hubby and Tyn could say was: "Tsk...Tsk...Tsk!"

A silly, klutzy me! I didn't get to post anything, nor even blog hop after it happened because I'm so irked of myself! I even dreamt about those shots and how to recoup it from the memory card!

Oh well, can't do anything about it now. Hubby couldn't help but cackled when I told him that we must have another trip to the Ethnographic Museum. He said he knew that was coming! I just couldn't get it off my mercurial mind. I know we just have to go back . . . and we will! I'll make sure of that.

Gorgeously . . .

Sheng,

Naganyan din ako noon. You're right. You should have uploaded the photos from the memory stick before deleting it from within your camera. At least next time alam mo na. Hayaan mo na lang yun. Cool ka lang fren.

If I'm in your place right now I think I would feel the same way. But you know what, hubby always told me not to take pictures even when we're in Disney and his reason is I should enjoy the beauty of the sorroundings coz if I just keep on taking pictures, I won't be able to see and enjoy of what's around. He said that the good memories are stored in the heart and mind. But guess what, I still sneak and took pictures to share as memories. nyahaha Anyway, there'll be a second chance for you to go back at the museum. Don't forget to bring the camera ok? :)

You know things like: you travel very long distance and we can get lots of miles out of it,especially if it is business class, and here i am forgetting my frequent flyer card?ayayyyy!my husband always said,"forget about it!it's not the end of the world!".hehehehe.anyway,that gives you another chance to go back and took more photos.now you can imagine which is the nicer spot for a great pose!

My friend was happily touring with his girlfriend who came all the way from Asia to visit him in Europe. They traveled to many countries in Europe and their last stop was Prague, Czech Republic. They had taken thousand over memorable photos, and his camera was stolen in Prague....
