new bag

i just realized today that i needed a bigger camera bag that will accommodate my growing gears. the free camera bag which i got when i purchased my DSLR is no longer big enough to fit all my gears. hay, gastos na naman. hehehe...

my new camera strap

finally, i got to buy this. i had to settle for this one for now because i don't have enough budget for the double strap.

next on my list is a nikkor 18-200mm VR. i hope i could get this in time for jia's birthday party. :)

i did it

i've given my d40 its nice airtight home today. i just made it a DIY dry box. will post the photo soon. i hope i don't forget. now, i am at peace that my beloved little gear will be free from fungus. i hope it enjoys its new home. hehehe...

busy

i know i've been blogging less than usual. sorry, kids, been so busy with a lot of stuff or maybe there's just nothing worth blogging anyway. hehehe... yup, i am done with those mushy and emo stuff. hehehe...

well, i just want to share what's keeping me busy lately. i hope you are interested. hehehe... aside from working hard to get my commission for this month, i've been busy coordinating with thunderbird resort for our team outing. i know this is already late because summer is over and yet we still have plans of going out of town. well, this had been on the planning stage for months but there are a few factors that affected its implementation that i will not mention anymore. i just hope that this works out now. hehehe...

just to give you a glimpse of what it is to see in thunderbird resort poro point, la union. please see photo below:

i am looking forward to this trip. i just hope that this pushes through and that it will not rain. hehehe...

updating the list

just updating the list of stuff that i am hoping to get within this year. only if luck is going to be on my side. hehehe...

looking at the price of these stuff makes me think if i should reconsider doing this hobby. hehehe...

start of a long time partnership

my highschool batchmate who hired me to be a back up wedding photographer last week, texted me last night saying that he did like the shots i made. i am happy he did because that meant a long time partnership. i hope. hehehe... just posting some of the photos i took during the wedding:

Pahiyas Festival Lucban, Quezon

i would just wanna share the photos i took during the Pahiyas Festival. Oh yeah, i did go. hehehe...

another dilemma

i was given a canceled seat reservation to a trip going to lucban's pahiyas festival on friday may 15. it was just confirmed yesterday and to be honest, i am not expecting it. it's just a day tour so i will leave the house at about 3 am to get to the meeting place. so there...

i've always wanted to go there since i was a kid. i kept seeing their colorful festivities in the paintings of the blanco family of artists which made me promise myself that one day i will experience it personally when i am old enough to be there. and now is my chance, but i am having second thoughts because of the super unpredictable weather conditions that we have right now in our country. it is still supposed to be summer but we already had 4 typhoons. the thing is it floods in our place and my mom will be alone if i go. i also prefer staying at home when it rains or storms.

i am still weighing things and i am checking the weather forecast for the week. it seems promising for metro manila but in quezon the weather's a little off. hay. but i don't have any choice. i still need to make a decision soon. i only have 2 days maximum to cancel. hay...

one year

tomorrow marks my first year in this company. after starting out as an agent and later on transferred to a level 2 post, now, i am in the marketing department. to sum up my stay here, i can say that it was a good one. my capabilites were noticed and i was given a lot of opportunities and room to learn new things. it was challenging but in a good way. i thank the Lord for the opportunity. i could not ask for more aside from some salary adjustment that has long been overdue. hehehe...

new design

i want a new blog design; however, i need help on setting up what i want to happen. and my ever reliable friend and officemate was axed last month so our plans did not push through. hay. i hope someone would help me. hehehe...

happy earth day

let's do our share. :)

senseless

i am trying to write a new post today; however, i can't seem to figure out what to write. i felt like writing about something but decided not to. i guess i just don't have anything sensible to write. there are a lot of noise and clutter in my head and i just can't seem to organize them. maybe i just needed a break, a long vacation getaway. but odds are, i'll be stuck at home. no budget for out of town trips and i've got an over protective mom. maybe she kept on forgetting that her little girl is already in her 30s. hahaha...

i hope that it will rain money this month

me want to go ilocos and cebu. hay.

and the list goes on...

the list is just getting longer. here is another one of the lens that i would like to get. i hope someone will give this to me out of charity. hehehe...

Nikon 35mm f/1.8G AF-S DX

happy thoughts

i am not sure whether this can be considered a happy thought because all the photos i posted below are quite a frustration but makes me strive hard to get them. so look below to find out... hehehe...

nikon d90

nikkor 18-200 VR lens

50mm prime lens f/1.4

speedlight SB-800

my happiness... haay...

stressed

it's been a long time since my last post. i've been busy coping up with stress lately.

the roller coaster ride of emotions since the start of this month is indescribable. i am just waiting for the day that they will tell me "you are no longer needed here so leave now."

The hard work somehow is not worth it because it will not be recognized and appreciated anyway. i must admit, i am slowly giving in to this evil. to be honest, i dunno where it will take me. God speed.

casualty

we just had another casualty today. who will be next? it is for us to find out.

axed

def: In television, cancellation (known as axing in Australia and the United Kingdom) refers to the termination of a program by the network, typically ...

go figure out what happened.

-----------------

i lost some friends again from work yesterday. sad is all i can define what i am feeling right now. they are my buddies. we stuck with each other for 3 months. unfortunately, on the forth month, 2 has to go. i am the last man standing but until when? hay.

for the win!

just posting a photo shared by a friend. most of the people my age will surely recognize him. hehehe... go angus! :)

late again

i am hating this trend. i always end up late to work once a week. geez... this makes me feel real bad because i make sure that i wake up early and i allot too much extra travel time so i will arrive on time at work. i've been exerting too much effort lately and i am afraid that one day i will end up not caring anymore. geez... but i don't want to lose my job. and i am trying hard to choose not to be in a bad mood today. seems like the stars are not on my favor again this year. but i refuse to believe that. hay.
