iPhone 4

The yummiest piece of mine,heheh. This was my long time dream phone of my entire existence in this modern world. I just never thought I got it so early. I thank God for this blessing.
Meet my iPhone 4, I got it early September so its 2months old now.
Im having a fun time hanging out with this phone as it let me check my facebook, multiply, watching videos at youtube every now and then.
This is the phone of all time.

Working in Singapore

Then I drew the cards to take a leap of luck to find work in singapore. It was my father's idea to try look for work overseas and with the advantage of my brother who happened to work in singapore we decided to why not try my luck there.
So after 3 months from resigning in my 1st job, I took a step far away in my homeland. There are so many bugs running in my head and butterflies flying around in my stomach when that they came. I am so excited to go to singapore coz of the impression that it is such a wonderful place and how successful the country of its fast phased progress.
But I am so worried that I only have a limited time to find work and if I can't have it, it would be a big disappointment to my family and me. I sent resumes online every new entry of job over every job sites. I heard so many stories from people who went back home unsuccessful which made me demotivated but I helped myself and asked friends' moral support and talking to God asking him to grant me a job but that time I totally surrendered everything to Him. I have accepted already that whatever happens life must go on and being this young there is more to life than working in singapore.
On my 4th day staying in singapore, I received an email response from one of my application asking to confirm and come over to the office for interview. So I went there with all my might, crossing fingers and asking God to guide me on my way there. I even was late when I reached the place coz Im so new to the place. So I was interviewed and hired. Woaaallaaahhh. Gotcha! I was like shaking the whole time, did the medical exams, submitting requirements and got my pass approved. It was so surreal everything to me, everything was so fast. And all my mind and heart were talking like 'I love you Lord' over and over again. Then I called my parents telling them the good news. I knew I made them proud and yes they were.
I was so thankful to GOD for granting me the job and my friends who were very supportive all the time.
So its almost 6months now working here in singapore and thanking God everyday of being here.

Im back as fine as brand NEW

Hey World, now I'm back after a couple of months inactive in my room of blogging, my coming back is so special to me as it gives me more appetite to continue blogging and sharing thoughts, photos & interests and more appetite to live life in general.
From last year's life, a lot of things happened. From graduating in college and getting my degree to having a job. Speaking of my 1st job, I landed a job in BPO company, Teletech Cebu, I was then a Desktop Support I supporting HP printers. I struggled so much on my first job considering the demands to meet the metrics plus a big change of my clock, they're making my day to night and vice versa. Though I just lasted for 9 months coz I can't see myself productive and performing anymore, nevertheless that was one of the best milestones in my life. I got the chance to meet different people and especially visited different places which I missed the most until now. I met many friends and lovers, hahah.
So that is all for now, my next blog is about where in the world I'm at now.
Thank you world and God for making you. Let's enjoy life.

Reversed Lens Test Shoot

Even before when I have not yet had any camera of this kind I always wondering how could they do such macro shots with just all by the kit lens which I thought only you could come up of such a macro shot is to set another expenses for buying a lens meant for macro. But until this tutorial which I found from deviantart.com has illustrated how to reverse a lens to have a macro shot. Though it needs to have this adapter to stably fit in the lens what I did was just simply tighten the lens with camera body of rubber bands. It really had to be mounted to a tripod because of how naturally shaky your hands are will double the effect through the lens.

CPL Test Shoot

After a long week of cloudy and bad weather since I finally got my camera and wait until when the sun would come out now I am glad of what this little piece brought me, It is called CPL or Circular Polarizer Lens. Ever since I am fond of shooting clear blue sky that is why I immediately bought this filter together with my camera but not until now which I finally had a proper shots taken with it as the first one was quite darker, and got fully fascinated of the results.

Mini Studio Shoot

Here are the shots I took with my improvised mini studio

This was just made up of a white paper as the background and a tiny lamp which I just picked nearby to have this good lighting. It was quite exhausting as I had to lay down and steadily carry over this heavy camera.

Canon EOS Rebel XS / 1000d

Finally, the most anticipating long time one of my wish list has just coming true. February 2,2009 was when I bought it worth 30k plus 1k for the CPL filter. This would not be possible without all the support of funding this cost. From my mama who gave me consideration of this craving which is going to be my serious hobby and most especially to my brother whom at first I settle it by borrowing him money which I promised to pay it after when I have my stable job but a surprise was then I received, he decided to just not account me to pay for it instead it will serve as gift for my graduation. I am so glad of what had happened.
As of now, I handed the camera with just all in basics as I am yet undergoing a series of tests to study and distinguish several different adjustments. Until now I could not imagine of carrying this stuff and by just a simple way of having its strap right on my neck was just a bizzare even in my wildest dreams. I am so grateful for this kind of blessing.
Below was my first shot. I tried to create a bokeh with the canon cap as foreground and it never prove me wrong. Next shot was when I tested my CPL(Circular Polarizer Lens) filter. And as what I expected from a result of this filter it brought up a bluer sky and more contrast to the image. I was so happy the day I tested my camera and it was all worth it. I am looking forward for chances to shoot outdoor and might as well meet some of the hobbyists of photography.

A very late composition

I know this is a very late composition of my 09's resolution, but I'm quite determined to create a scheme which I might possibly do it the way I should. So here it goes my personal list of new year's resolution:

1st, would have be something to do with my myself, ever since I always keep on seeking ways or how to's on how to be mature time by time but it seemed really nothing was changed or just for any little improvement of myself. So by this year Im coping up to be mature or even not of being one at least to be a good individual to my citizens which I know from the first place whatever you did something valuable to someone it will bring back to you though I'm not anticipating that but at least I know from myself that Im responsible.

2nd, as the following months gone by, and hopefully overcome my last moment of being a student, I presume a would going to have a stable job by the coming summer. I planned to just a month vacation that I will going to spend and next would be the real time of entering the world of industry. This probably motivates me more to respond my roles as a child to my parents and a brother to my younger siblings of standing right next to them whenever they need my help and of course putting myself after them as I wanted to be accountable enough to sustain my responsibilities.

3rd, From now on I should start starting each day with a happy aura which I believe this would take my life longer. And also to inspire the others who never laugh at their problems but instead of resenting. I wanted to experience life as problem is not such a thing. I wanted to rule myself by not letting any burdens overthrow me.

4th, Since, I finally realize that whenever friends or familiar people have the chance to communicate with and eventually asking and exchanging words such "kumosta na?", I always replied of common response like "Ok lang" which turned out as by its default with nothing has the option to other way, thus so boring. As this, really bothers me which I think from my point of view is to start a new hobby. A hobby that something I could be proud of myself and something that I can share it others and ending my day so much fulfilled. And that is PHOTOGRAPHY. I planned to have an efficient camera preferably a DSLR. Which nowadays I am certainly learn to appreciate photos and browsing and visiting photography sites. As this hobby would not only help you enjoy in one perspective but a bunch of it. Looking forward to have one as early as I can.

5th, I will be more disciplined which I know until now I'm not a kid anymore but still a kid in habits. I strive to be more environment conscious like observing cleanliness and even fixing my beddings as until now I could not make it. Be more cautious to whatever might happen of putting myself and decisions always being safe and also be proper to my activities.

Im halfway there

Lately, i have been this kind of keep on bugging on my head being so preoccupied of the coming end-of-school event. That would certainly lead to my Graduation. Well I am not threatened for the fact of what if I'm not gonna make it for my degree but more of the fact on the latter occurrences. I am referring to my career after school, I started to weigh up the chances from having my degree for wherever it would bring me.

I live next to my pride as I really aiming to have a sufficient career as I can surely tell to myself that I'm secured enough to live with my own without resting on everything to my parents. This would probably a real test of how firm my proficiency towards everything coming no matter what. But of course I consider those things would eventually take place while on the drive and might as well be able to stand over such circumstances after all. And I'm keep on praying for whatever may happen I hope it will make me a better-off individual to fulfill my greatest desires in life.

Think of me by: David Archuleta

This is one of the songs from David Archuleta's first ever released album...I may not be as an avid fan of him but among of his pieces, this one really caught my ear...it took me quite awhile of looking over the net where to download its studio version. And now here is the good sound quality id got.

THINK OF ME
David Archuleta

Think of me, think of me fondly
when we’ve said goodbye
Remember me once in a while
please promise me you’ll try
When you find that, once again, you long
to take your heart back and be free
if you ever find a moment
spare a thought for me

We never said our love was evergreen
or as unchanging as the sea
but if you can still remember
stop and think of me

Think of all the things
we’ve shared and seen
don’t think about the things
which might have been

Think of me, think of me waking,
silent and resigned.
Imagine me, trying too hard
to put you from my mind.
Recall those days
look back on all those times,
think of the things we’ll never do
there will never be a day,
when I won’t think of you

Can it be? Can it be Christine?
Bravo!
Long ago, it seems so long ago
How young and innocent we were
She may not remember me
but I remember her

Flowers fades,
The fruits of summer fade,
They have decisions, so do we
but please promise me, that sometimes
you will think of me

Thesis is in the air

This is it, this is really is it..hahahah...The deadline is seemed keep on coming. Our thesis is entitled Logic Design Courseware, actually it wasn't supposed to be our proposed project, it was an enrollment system but I may say it was good enough that from enrollment system our adviser thougth to just rather of her idea of proposing a courseware. Since our adviser is on field of Logic Design yet being an instructor so it came up of a Logic Design Courseware. From having an idea of what a courseware is, it brought me being glad of it as compared of enrollment system which probably a java-programmed system that im not good enough where as in a courseware we'll going to design it through PHP which i prefer most than any other script. And it is not more complex when it comes to its functionalities.

But then again, i always pray that this would gone far and worthy, we'll just need to work harder and take it as if this is the real and final battle of our studies.

Above is the screenshot of our initial profile of the system... there is a lot more for optimization.

I want it badly!!!

I really aspire of having photography as my official and stable hobby since by far i could not stick of something that i might thought would be a successful career from just a hobby. So bad, the camera in the picture isn't truly mine, i just test it from the canon store after an hour of strolling over the mall. The feeling of taking it on hand is just a pride, since i was graving a long time to have my own camera not just a camera but the dslr camera but probably it will take a year or two to save money from my allowance. As of now I'm quite being so serious to have it, in fact i started to keep 2000 from my allowance this month, so maybe by January I could have about 10k on my piggy bank but still i need 15k to exactly go straight ahead to the store with the help of donations from parents. I planned of a Nikon d40 as my starting gear though it has just 6mp of resolution and i find competitive with the other models since so far this is the cheapest dslr nowadays. Having a camera brings a lot of purpose in mind and for me to document relevant time.

Home Town

This is my home, i'm from the far far away town of aurora in zambaoanga del sur...this place could be my only nest wherever how far of places I've been, I always make it to point that in every chances I should set my time to go home since my life of independence has just started though I'm currently in my 4th year of staying here in cebu for my studies. Theres no place like my home, i feel so secured, no chances of hunger, free from delimmas, fresh air, and everything in life of comfort.
