When everything is green (or when everything is of the same color), how can you make your subject stand out? Please do not use technical terms here. And don't tell me about manipulating exposures, shutter speeds, and apertures (although manipulating these essentials would indeed make your subject stand out), I can't manipulate them, plus, manipulating them adds so much noise to your photo! hahaha. And, my camera doesn't offer a full manual mode to start with.

Alright, just tell me how can I effectively manipulate aperture, exposure, shutter speed, and yes, the ISO without adding too much noise to your photo. I just want to know your opinion on this. :)

Try this picture for example:

Tomorrow, I'll be celebrating two years at work. Two years of smiling and sneering at customers. Two years of fun and tears. Two years of pressure, and grace under pressure. Two years of chorvahan, baklaan, and ederlyn's. Two years of hate, and two years of love. I wonder how long will I stay in this industry I never imagined I'd get into. lol.

Happy anniversary sa atin, Charla! :)

So my summer didn't work out as I planned. There were no getaways or boredom to death that happened, I was still so caught up with work but overall, my summer was fun.

I am looking forward to school now. School means escape from work, you know. But nah, not really. haha. I miss my classmates. I miss taking pictures of beautiful PUP. And taking stolen shots of our professors. I miss eating steamed siomai. I miss our Linear Park. I miss our patok joyrides! hahaha. I miss too many things about school. I even miss cramming!

To you guys, who had the time of their life this summer. Congratulations! Live life while your still young. Don't let those priceless opportunities pass by because of your wrong priorities. Live life to the fullest. We only have one chance to do so.

Kung mabibili ka lang, pag-iipunan kita.

1. World Peace
2. Peace of mind.

rofl. rolf.



Okay, so I have no idea why this guy gave a comment like this on my Friendster page. Last time I checked, we have a pretty good friendship. Now, he wants me to die. This is so laughable.

rofl. rofl.

So everyone is bitching me about me not attending the quarterly AK Scholars meeting. I mean, common people! Its not like I hold the key to the venue or something. Or its not like I caused a great deal of delay. And I had a bad cough, for pete's sake! I sounded like dying because of my voice, do you think I'd enjoy being in the meeting?! Sheesh.

I really need some sympathy here, and some understanding. Hai. I think our manager is holding my endorsement letter (which is a very vital letter for me to be enrolled). They are giving me the cold treatment (walang kulitan, walang ngitian). And everyone thinks the real reason I didn't attend the meeting was because I just wanted to be a rebel, or an antisocial. Hello??? As if my rebellion would make a big difference. Wake up, people.

I hate you all. I hate you.

In other news, my class schedule sucks. Imagine a 3 hour vacant period.

I WOULD GET ON THAT BUS TO BATANGAS EVEN IF THAT IS THE LAST THING I DO. I NEED TO ESCAPE.

14. What kind of person do you think to the person who tagged you?
Si yhangskie doodle? haha. Maingay. Bubbly.

offT: what kind of person do you think to the person who tagged you? Hindi ba pwedeng 'what do you think of the person who tagged you' na lang? ROFL.

15. Would you rather be single and rich or married and poor?
Single and rich! hahaha. Choose your questions wisefully my dear, being married doesn't mean you are being loved (you could be a battered wife), tapos mahirap ka pa. Haist, what a miserable life would that be. LMAO. So, I'd rather be single and rich.

16. If the person you secretly like cannot recognize you anymore, what would you do/how would you react?
Anchaka ng question. diba ito rin ung kanina?

17. Would you give your all in a relationship?
No. Because that would be selfish. (I know my answer would arouse some conflict of opinions here.)

18. If you fall in love with two persons simultaneously, who would you pick?
You don't fall in love with two persons simultaneously, there has to be someone who weighs more.

19. What type of friends do you like?
Mga konsitidor. lol. Seriously, ung mga open-minded na tao. Those type who wouldn't take your word against you, or would accept you at your worst. Spys yun. Kahit drawing lang minsan mga lakad namin, pag kailangan mo, anjan talaga.

20. If you played a prank on someone, and he/she fell for the trick, what would you do?
What I would do? I'd laugh at him/her, then we'd laugh together.

I am not tagging anyone. Tama nang pumatol ako dito. *peace*

The most happening event of my summer happened last Saturday and I WAS NOT THERE. Shoot me and my habit of taking baths every evening, I got sick, bedridden, so I was not able to attend to Alfred's Graduation Party. boohoo.

I'll surely miss my college friends. They are now on to take a new road in their lives. Ha. In other words, they graduated from college.

So to you guys, I am not going to welcome you to the jobless world, as you have great potentials and skills for you not to become jobless. I am welcome you to the yuppie life. oh yeah. The yuppie life. haha.

Darating din kami jan. Antayin niyo kami. =)

Congratulations!

So I am adjusting to Winamp. and I am shocked by the interface of my Firefox. My dial-up connection's speed is 115.2 kpbs. Yep, my dear, how did it become 115.2 kbps?! I am so lost using my own pc, but I don't mind.

Thank you. =)

Happy 100 days! I love you so much! mwah mwah. =)

Just when I have a sane internet connection, Friendster is on scheduled maintenance. Pfft. :D

May 1, 2008

Off to a fresh new start.

The countdown to the last 30 days of my summer has just begun. The plans for the renovation of our store was moved, and moved, until we are confused as to what is the concrete plan for our store. Just like my summer: No Concrete Plan.

The original plan was to at least finish a book, and start my scrapbooking project. The rub is, I have so many books, I don't know what I should start reading, and my rest days are always preoccupied to start my scrapbooking project. Plus, GTO is addicting, it eats all my leisure time. Haha!

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I miss school. There must be something wrong with me. lol. Shoot me, shoot me! :)
So here, here. My idea for the remaining days of my summer.

1. Go out of town. This could be anywhere. I just need to escape. I need to escape from all the prejudices, the anxiety, everything. I bet those sceneries could be therapeutic. *nostalgia*

2. Conversations over coffee. I have lots to share to my dearest best friends, but we are miles miles away from each other and an afternoon of coffee and doughnuts won't hurt, especially we know we have a lot of catching up to do. Plus, I miss cursing with them. Haha. Just kidding!

3. Bore myself to death. I missed the feeling of being bored to death. Years ago, I recall my summer was all about staring at the ceiling, waiting for some text message, or waiting for myself to fall asleep. That's how bored I was.

4. Finish a book. Still I need to finish a book. I have started reading The Alchemist, but unlike other books, I can put it down, with no feeling of deep remorse (exaggerating only). It is because when I start reading a book, I make sure I finish it as soon as possible, but unlike The Alchemist, its like I don't care even if I don't finish it.

5. Take pictures. Manila is still a very frustrating subject, with security playing a big factor. Of course I don't want my camera snatched from me, but can anyone tell me how can I concentrate on the view when at the back of my head, all I can think of is, "Baka my snatcher".

Those are just plans. Ha. Who am I kidding? I will not get this done unless some miracle happen. tsk, tsk.
