We have about three (3) more months till December 31st, 2008. As we look back at my journey in photography, My wife and I are indeed grateful to God for his kindness, and for wonderful mentors he has surrounded us with. He has blessed us and we are extremely grateful.
I just want to encourage some of my blog readers today to always follow your heart and be patient in finding God’s purpose for us. And also remembering to be thankful, because it is only by his grace that we can accomplish our dreams.
Ever since I introduce TSP, I pray to God everyday for continuous direction and guidance in everything I set forth. Proverbs 3: 5-6.
I will be blogging about a special couple tomorrow who are deeply in Love.
Below are some of the ways I have stayed motivated throughout this year. I got this list from an article on Zenhabits.net blog. I hope this list will help others achieve their goals.
Twenty ways to get me stay motivated
#20: Chart Your Progress - I will be using a GTD tool to track my process.
#19: Hold Yourself Back - Slowly track my progression by motivating myself that I can do more.
#18: Join an online (or off-line) group to help keep you focused and motivated - I will be attending a montly PUG group to stay on track.
#17: Post a picture of your goal someplace visible - I will be placing a picture of my next house on my refrigerator, bedroom, and workstation.

Hope everyone enjoyed the Labor Day Weekend. Over the weekend Me, Aby (Lovely Wife), Debra (Sister), and Junior (Brother-in-law) had the opportunity to hang out with a lovely couple that I adore. The couple traveled 4 hours for the e-session and we had a blast.
Below is the picture taken after the e-session right in front of Muvico movie theater. From left is the couple, me, Aby, and my brother-in-law Junior.
I took this picture of my lovely wife, Aby, while at work photographing the beautiful couple.
Aby took this picture of me that I really, really, really love. It’s going to my facebook page ASAP.
We caught a glimpse of Micheal Jackson’s concert while wandering around the mall.
Then later went to the Thomas A Dixon Observation Area, to watch aircraft arrivals. 
Sneak peak of the fabulous engagement session. One of my favorites.
After hearing Senator Obama’s historical speech, I was inspired and joyous. As I sat in front of my TV set, starring at my non-HD tube. I realized that we control our own destiny. The best part of his speech was when he said,
I get it. I realise that I am not the likeliest candidate for this office. I don’t fit the typical pedigree, and I haven’t spent my career in the halls of Washington.
But I stand before you tonight because all across America something is stirring. What the nay-sayers don’t understand is that this election has never been about me. It’s been about you.

Before I go further, I will be blogging a wedding I shot last weekend. Few days before the wedding, I went out with the couple to shoot more pictures.
We have about six (6) more months till December 31, 2008. On this day I will look back at 2008 and celebrate the goals I had achieved. One of my goals for 2008 is to stay motivated in achieving my goals. Ever since I started TSP, I pray to God for His direction and guidance in everything I set forth. Proverbs 3:5-6
