shoot: at the airport

the shuttler watched as the couple in front of her embraced each other tightly, for it would be a good whole year before one of them returns. she watched as the group of grown up men gathered for a group hug as one of them would also return only in a year's time. she watched as the family stood by the gates, silently watching him say his goodbyes to his friends. cameras flashed and clicked as they tried to capture the last few minutes before he stepped beyond those glass doors. the shuttler watched as the couple, now separated by the glass door, exchange loving glances at each other, knowing fully well that each of them are now apart. she watched as he went around hugging his friends, thanking each and everyone of them sincerely for coming to send him off.

the shuttler watched as his eyes fell on a particular petite girl as she waved goodbye to a dear friend. she gave a half hearted wave as he walked through the aisle beyond the gates, and soon beyond her sight.

goodbye and take care, dear friend.

the shuttler and the prodi wishes you well. they would gather again in june 2007.

the shuttler loves sitting through the lectures that her manager gives. the things that he talk about, discuss and share with the students simply gave them plenty of food for thought. the shuttler cannot speak for all, but personally, she's very much inspired and once again, he relights the flame of passion for the profession in the shuttler.

when the manager displayed the above photograph during his lecture, there was this moment of silence in the class. every student seemed to be lost in the photograph, the underlying message of the photograph that came out so strongly, in an extremely beautiful photograph. it depicted the very philosophy of the occupational therapy profession. the shuttler cannot describe the wave of emotions that she experienced as she admired the photograph.

the beauty of the occupational therapy profession.
