Downloading Time!

COW


Okay, so here I go downloading stuff again from the Internet and as I see it is going to take me around 8 hours to get that game that I want. It is crawling badly right now and I do not know of any source I can get this anymore in our side of the world so I have to do this. There are actually no more seeders when I used a Torrents Search Engine which probably is because the game is too old. I could not blame them if their web sites are full of ads and ultra low download rate. I guess they want their advertisements to be seen longer so we can be forced to get a premium account for faster download rates. I guess you know what site I am referring to.

I love this game too much that I am willing to wait this long rather than downloading the parts one by one instead. It is going to take me a long time but if you think about it; they are giving this away for free so who am I to complain?! Maybe if I get to see more seeders I would have faster download rates and I could manually configure my upload rate to be slower instead. I would like to dedicate bandwidth to this endeavor so people around my house might end up getting a slower connection tomorrow. I need to warn them as early as now. Anyway I need to satisfy my gaming needs and this is the only place I can get it, not that I am complaining but nobody gave me anything for Christmas. LOL!

My Shots @ The Avant Garde Wedding Photoshoot

Friday, January 01, 2010

Okay, here it is. I'll show you a glimpse of my set. I wanted the theme to be cohesive and since I learned something new about post processing it was just right to implement it to all the photos I have on the wedding set. Although it is painstakingly taking me too much time for a single photo, I think it came out right. It was well worth it. I think I also have taken advantage of the golden hour while on this shoot with the nocturnals. I like the different ways she actually gets the poses I want for the shoot. I'm talking about Jinri... she is Korean and if you look at the other pictures I have on my laptop, it would all consist of high fashion shots. These samples are all the wholesome more general viewing shots of the set. But you get the idea right? Cindy on the other hand was shot when it was almost night time so you can see the background a little darker than usual. Jinri were in some rooms in the orchidarium when we got those shots, hence the night effect. It was an awesome way to test out our flashes for off camera capabilities. It was really awesome! I still have another set which I have not finished so watch out for that!

Phone Retires and there are Promos!



Two cell phone companies just put up small kiosks on the office lounge and offered us free phones if we subscribe to their system. The offer is very nice since they usually cost around 4-5 thousand pesos in local malls. I wonder if these promotional products would be offered until next year. I plan to get an IPHONE because my current NOKIA 6280 is already giving up on me. It acts up when I put it on my pocket and shuts down by itself. I would really like to replace it but it has been very convenient for me.

The photos I took from it are also phenomenal. I took it on a climb last year and those are the photos above. Pretty nice huh?! You see it is really simple and very convenient to have a phone that will cater to your needs. I may get another one but this old one is going to be memorable. This actually started my frustrations with photography. I have an entry level camera now which I use for fashion and portraits. So you now see why I have these photos now.

I guess it did more to me than inspire me right?! I hope you like what it eventually had me do and appreciate the work I do now for models and their portfolios. I need a phone and I hope it performs better than this old one that I have. Otherwise it will just be paperweight when I get it from those companies. I think I need to see an on line store now. Where do I start?!

Looking for Samurai Showdown 2


My gaming addiction just kicked in. I am trying desperately to find a copy of a CSO file particularly one that has the Samurai Showdown 2 game on it. There is one though called an anthology which I hope contains all the games and versions of this title. The deal is I don't want to download stuff from sources that I do not have control of and if viruses come with it then I would really think about it twice. I don't want to damage photos on my laptop since I need this for photo editing. A hobby that has taken me places I have never been.

I am also having a little headache or hangover from drinking after my shift. I just found a couple of friends from a site I frequent a couple of years ago. I want to make a better choice this year but I think I will settle for the gaming itch first. It says that it would actually take me around 8 hours to download it but its okay, I'll try and see if this works. I really need it as you may know I was a champion of this game when I entered a competition on a local mall. I remember people crying after they lost to me LOL.
