It was awesome, the shoot that I was anticipating the whole week happened this Saturday and will be shown this Monday in Manila. My photography group the D60KREW will be featured in this episode because of what we have been doing in street photography. I know I need to learn more about it but to think about it, I have been doing quite good these past few weeks on street. Even if I was concentrating on fashion and glamor photography since I started... I must have improved a little since I am convincingly taking a closer step on subjects not unlike before.
It's not as close as I want to be but there is something more advantageous using a zoom camera instead, because you would not be too close with the subject you can catch them on their natural surrounding. Not only that, I was able to join a group who had passion in this field. This is a plus only that we got featured on local television, I love that part though!
This is your lucky day! NETFIRMS has just announced they are giving away fabulous prizes for free just by ordering your own custom domain via twitter! It is so easy to join the Netfirms contest. Of course the mechanics are simple; you need to get as many entries as possible for the contest for more chances to win. If you want to get those new IPOD TOUCHES or MACBOOK, please do one of the following:
Just TWEET this out:
"Win a #free iPod Touch or MACBOOK from the @NETFIRMS #contest. Domain registration services via Twitter http://bit.ly/yJfJK"
OR
Register a domain name via the NETFIRMS Twitter Domain Registration service for $7.99.
If you get one RETWEET, you will get one more entry per day. One domain registered equals one entry too. Have you ever found anything easier than this?
Things are definitely harder to get these days and ordering domains through websites are a big burden because you need to fill up forms, spend a lot time navigating menus and directories that most non technical people do not understand. Now they have automated everything and given you the chance to win gadgets too. Imagine setting up numbers and assigning server names for each part of your web site from scratch, it is not easy to do for most people. Make sure you tell your friends so they can join in as well. Letting them into your circle would get you that IPOD or MACBOOK that you wished for. Not only that, they might share it with you too if your friends are the ones who win this event. I want that IPOD now so I am planning to get more entries myself. I hope my friends would be able to join too so I could get my hands on the MACBOOK that I need for my photography hobby. It will definitely benefit me in the long run and I would need to get more of my friends to join in. Maybe I need to ask the people they follow and add them too so I would have the best chance to win that lone MACBOOK. So if you are reading this and have not added me yet, you know the domain name obviously so make sure to add me now!
Here is how you can easily order a domain!
You send a Direct Message to NETFIRMS via Twitter asking us to register a domain name for you. If the domain name is available we will register it for you and automatically add it to your existing NETFIRMS Control Panel and bill to your current billing profile. The only prerequisite is that you add your TWITTER User Name to your NETFIRMS Control Panel. Please visit their tutorial with full details on how to set yourself up for domain registration via TWITTER. The instructions should be completed once only and you’re good to go after that.
1. Log in to your TWITTER account (You can use any of the available TWITTER apps). 2. Send a direct message to @NETFIRMS with the following: REG mynewdomain.com 3. They will confirm by replying to you via direct message at which point the domain will be added to your NETFIRMS Control Panel. Then the domain would now be ready to be use.
Tomorrow morning the KREW will be also doing a story with Atom Araullo, yes ladies and gentlemen he's the one you watched when you were growin up during the 5 and UP days. I've got work this Tuesday so I'm kinda still contemplating what to do tomorrow. I'm out at 6AM so I would probably be going home first and get some sleep. Wake up at around 11AM so I get to meet them around lunch.
The theme of the shoot is to show beauty even in the midst of poverty. This will be street photography so obviously I would need to get close with the subjects. I haven't been doing that for the longest time and I don't really have the guts to do so. Good thing I just bought a zoom lens heheh. Now I am sniping subjects without me bothering them.
See? I think it would be nicer since it is candid. I kinda like what it looks like. I hope I won't get tired tomorrow =)
I know how hard it is to get sick these days. The good thing to do is prevention rather than cure. The cost of medicine and western practices has been expensive. Good thing even medical doctors are in approval of eastern alternative ones and the choices are huge.
Have you heard of Jiaogulan TCM? It has been widely used in China since 1848 and it has been a potent source of non toxic anti oxidants that promote younger looking skin. It is said to increase longevity and has been promoted by strong aged men in China, Korea and Japan where this is naturally found. It can also be grown through farming just as long as you have ample amount of sunlight and great climate. This was also prepared as tea in most cases and revered as an immortality herb. It seems people who intake this regularly have achieved living until a very old age. This is very good for those who experience fatigue, anxiety, stress and trauma. I would really recommend to take this Jiaogulan Herb everyday so we all could prevent getting sick. I would not like to see anyone in the hospital because they did not take care of themselves!
Yesterday I had a horrible gut wrenching day. Work was gettting to me and a lot of complicated matters also was happening. I just could not bear it anymore. I admit I am not much of a church goer, but I don't think I should be burned in hell for that. Since I was in the midst of total breakdown. I decided to go to Saint Claire Church with friends. I guess in days where I could not handle it anymore God was there.
I guess professionally it was really draining and frustrating. I do pray a lot. I guess I needed one at this time. My intentions are real, I wanted to have a great family life, a fabulous career, and a simple love life. I think I have a lot to thank for but sometimes when you hit rock bottom, you think you are in the worst situation in the world. You think nothing is going to be better. The trip to the church was a silver lining, the right thing to see when I needed it most. I bought eggs as the usual offering and hoped it does help a lot of hungry kids in the convents. I think that was the right thing to do, it felt good. It has been a long time since I said thanks to God, I hope that trip eventually would get me and my problems easier to bear. I guess it did, I hope it does help in times when I need it most. Sorry for being mushy all of a sudden, I need a lot of help now. Thank God he's always there for me. You should go to the same church too and make it a habit to help. It will do wonders!
My brother just informed me that we would be renovating the house soon. We would be sharing the bill of course and the changes would be really major that it would not just be the walls to be torn down but the whole house. Yes, my brother is thinking of creating a 4 floor house from the current 2 that we have. This is not a joke!
I am probably going to spend more on interiors and will probably wipe out my savings. But I guess since this is my home I would probably be better off paying for it because of the fact that I live here. I probably would be here for the rest of my life.
Designing the interior should only get a few inside because we both adore the modern minimalistic look. With that in mind, we would need to get our old hand me downs and get better modern dining tables, chairs and cabinets too. I looked at some web sites but only a few came up with the best Italian designs. We used to have an all wood dining set but the season calls for modern metal dining furniture. I guess we are on a good start, but I have to make plans where to get the rest of the finances that is going to this huge project. We would need to also get a condominium and vacate the place we are in. Construction starts late this year so wish us luck!
It's high time once again and we are going to do another photo walk courtesy of my photographer buddies at D60KREW. Here is the route proposed:
I am not quite familiar with Plaza Dilao, nor know where that is but I think there would be some additional instructions how to get there. Wait, they just posted it now... it looks like we will meet in a more familiar location which is Pedro Gil LRT Station. Then ride a jeep from there and get dropped off some few kilometers from there. Apparently Plaza Dilao is just three short blocks away from the corner of Pedro Gil and Osmena. Now where is Osmena? LOL hahahaha
I think I know how to get there now... I'm gonna charge my batteries now so it could last the whole day. I'm sure with the caliber of the guys the actual 4GB memory card is not enough for this walk. I'm gonna bring Trish and her sisters (my D60 and her lenses) Kit and Ziggy. I now have names for my gadgets so we could be better acquainted. =) Kit is the mighty kit lens (18-55mm VR) and Ziggy is the new one 70-300mm APO DG MACRO with built in motor! I got her expensively but I really think it's worth it! =) Love em all!
I am already full of music and movies downloaded by my masters. I don't really mind but the full 80 GIGABYTE is already screaming for more storage, but I still get it to function really well even if they need to do hard graphic work in photography and gaming. I am an old ATHLON processor driven HP Pavilion.
My day to day battle with music and movie downloads and does not end there because they also use me for Internet browsing. They needed me for a couple of projects and thesis work and I did not even bat an eyelash to continue working for 72 hours straight. I printed out on my cousin's mouth (HP D1600) that day about 400 pages of spreadsheets and documents but he did not even get tired. I on the other hand never had problems on processing in the printer spool so everything came out fine even if they used other programs. I am glad they all went for my HP family and never took any other brand. Our designs and size are sleek and appropriate for my owner's home office. I never looked like clutter at any given day. I wonder what will happen to me soon when they need someone faster than I am. Maybe when the time comes I will be recommending my other relatives like the HP Mini Note so they can easily carry me around and use wireless signals for their work. Good thing they can use $30 off orders $150 or greater at HP Home Store. This is available if you use coupon code SV2132. This is also only valid through 10/31 or while supplies last. Restrictions and exclusions apply. I love my owners because they love the HP in me. I love them too!
I want to share to you guys an online petition and the reason why the DVD for the ERASERHEADS FINAL SET has not been released. Apparently it has something to do with SMART Communications inability to let go of the finances they want so eagerly from this. They want a share of the loot as so they may say and chances are they would not release it at all. Do they know how rampant the sales of the pirated version is? If you walk the streets of Quiapo you will definitely find on or more of these things and it is a best seller apart from the usual blockbuster movies that are recently released. They are continuing to lose money because the longer that they keep these to themselves, the more people are gonna buy the pirated copy. If it were up to me I would immediately issue the DVD together with other behind the scene shots and interviews so these pirates would all drag their feet and not sell those anymore.
It would be also nice if they get some shots of the first concert on it too and the whole news story about how the second one came about. I think I'm thinking aloud but it is right to do this. I would like you my readers to know that there is an online petition that you should share with your co eraserheads fans. It is available here. Click this.
To anyone at SMART management, please release the DVD or else I would be forced to buy the pirated one. I'm a die hard fan of ERASERHEADS so please heed my call!
My brother is in Ireland and he has been in and out of Dublin because of work. It is quite hard to be a celebrity chef in that area. He has to sometimes go to London or to the outskirts of Dublin for conferences, meetings and engagements but it was really hard for him to rely on his old SUV. We were initially not open to getting ordinary cars because we needed the extra legroom and storage space. But then petrol has been very expensive these days and that monster vehicle drank like a camel in the desert when filling up. I really worry because salary cuts were but a normal thing to hear in the United Kingdom and if that is the case, saving money is of up most importance.
Where do we start? He plans to sell his SUV and trade it for a hybrid car. This Toyota PRIUS has been the talk of the town because of its efficient energy saving features, the problem is; it's pretty hard to find. I asked him to check out local web sites but they only found incomplete and unreliable information. Good thing there is http://www.buyyourcar.co.uk that he tried out and in a few minutes, he was able to get a good deal. He compared new cars, slightly used ones and leased ones and checked out a couple of them using the information indicated on the profile. The car was also sold at a fair price so he went ahead and purchased it the next day. Without batting an eyelash, he now has that car in his garage enjoying every energy efficient minute of it when it switches to the electric motor. It was so awesome I want one too! Can you buy me one? Ha-ha!
