It hits with a hard clank on the ground, the black well-tarred road to be precise. I wasn’t at all lethargic, but I lost the grip on the leather strap anyways.
There were scratches at its corners. Some were minor, but there’s this glaring one that pierced through my heart whenever I took a glance at it. I lose sleep over it and meals were less tasty. But I thank God that it wasn’t attached with that overpriced 1.6K glass I’ve just gotten over the weekend.
I thank God for granting it with a magnificent body. It’s still working fine, the products it produced were still of top-notch quality. It just dawn on me that perhaps I wasn’t good (at all) at looking after my possessions.
I dropped my prized camera on the road just now.

I feel your pain. My stomach just flipped when I saw my mp3 player hit the ground and roll over. The horror. Thank God it’s still working even though the battery dropped out and there are ugly scratches on the sides.

Yeah man! I couldn’t stop whining hours after I dropped la. To worsen things, no one console me at all. Sigh. Nobody wants to share my pain. Sad right?

it’s ok. what has happened, happened. treat it as a lesson learned. it’s just like life, and love. hold the reins too tight, you’d get tired easily. lose focus for a second, you’d be scarred eternally. at least now you have something to share with your friends isn’t it? some blemishes could sometimes make you treasure it even more.
at least the lenses are still good =)

You’ve just gotten a new lens?
And yes, I feel sorry for your baby. Hope you’ve moved on, lol.

Penny: Yeah, gotten new lens, thank God it was not mounted when the incident happened.
