It's been a tiring day... or night so to speak. I work in a contact center. Or should I say in a "call center". I bet everyone knows or at least has heard about call centers. I work for a very strong and competitive company whose endorser is a very famous golf player. Anyway, it's been really exhausting. I got like 25 or 30 calls tonight. The last one was a good one though. The client gave me a commendation. After my eight hour night shift I went straight to the gym to work out and sweat off those unwanted fats from my imperfect body. I wanna stay healthy, feel good and look my best all the time. I can remember saying one time that one of the reasons I am going to the gym is that I want to look good with or with out clothes! Hahaha! How vain can a guy possibly get? Hehehe! They say I am a
METROSEXUAL. For those who do not know what metrosexual means,
it is a word describing men who have a strong concern for their aesthetic appearance, and spend a substantial amount of time and money on their images and lifestyles. People view metrosexuality as representative of the embracing of relational understanding in addition to its lifestyle and aesthetic implications. Most metrosexuals are said to be in touch with their feminine side in terms of fashion and grooming but still is very masculine. Metrosexuals are straight men who happens to be fond of taking extra care of themselves. Some famous metrosexuals are
David Beckham, Brad Pitt, P. Diddy and Tom Cruise.
For me, there's nothing wrong in taking care of one's self as long as he has the resources to cover all the expenses that go with it. One should not live larger than what he can actually afford. We should always be practical. Looking good doesn't always mean you should buy expensive clothes and shoes, or being a member of an exclusive fitness and wellness center. Looking good starts from the inside. If one has a good heart, it will definitely reflect on his appearance. A good relationship with the Lord is always the start of anything pleasant.
I am a Christian who happens to know how to take care of my body and appearance - NOT a person who knows how to take care of his body and appearance who happens to be a Christian. You know what I'm saying?
I can remember one verse in the Bible saying that
"Man was created in the image of God". So no one should feel bad about the way they look. We are all God's masterpiece. And we should always be positive and focus on things that will make us grow and be a better person.

The Man
I am Zham. Friends call me Zhammy. Some know me as Zharmin. But i prefer to go by my nickname "ZHAM". I'm an artist. A musician. A photographer. And most of all God's servant - a worshiper. It's all about my Maker. My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Well who am I? I am not famous. I'm an ordinary person with extraordinary things to share. I'm a History Maker. Aren't we all are? What matters to me is the things that I do... the legacy I leave behind... my history.
Photography is one gift that I am really passionate about.
I started taking photos when my parents gave me this film camera when I was 7 years old. But it was only later when I got so serious about it. It's really a passion.Everyday is an opportunity to take beautiful photographs. Everyday is a great new day to learn. Every new day gives inspiration to improve my craft.
