Christmas Cards Anyone?!

Thursday, November 19, 2009

It's the most wonderful time of the year again and since we celebrate this holiday for 4 months in my country I have to plan my gift giving skills as well. You may already have read before that I have about 100 God sons and daughters who I need to give gifts to. Not to mention the adults who would probably be around the same number; and obviously I do not want to go bankrupt after the holidays so this one is for you!

Yes I know they are adorable! I found these christmas cards from 123PRINT.CO.UK and since my brother is in Ireland he could probably order me some of these so I could give them away here when he gets back on the last week of November. I am sure my friends and family would love them since they all can be personalized. It matters if they know that you care and took time to create these; and put small thoughtful notes on it. I would save a lot considering the high prices today. I would not want to spoil the surprise but I want to share these with my readers. It is the thought that counts after all!

Maybe you should check this one out for starters!

My New Baby Deedee!

Saturday, November 14, 2009


It's a great buy so far, I tested it out on my cam after buying it and it was performing really well. The light was soft even if I was using Ziggy my TELE lens. It was a good thing I waited before I purchased something like this. =)

The DI622 is highly recommended for those who want performance for the buck. A simple firmware upgrade would even get it to support radio triggers and get this to work with all the things you need for a studio. Yeah i suppose I would like to have that soon! I don't want to quit my day job though.... (Hi Boss! heheh =) ) My addiction to portraits and photography itself is getting worse... I would not want to stop my self but if you think about it, everything seems to be getting into place. I'm lovin my work and hobby... hopefully there would be more in store for me this year!

The Importance of Health and DNA Testing

Thursday, November 12, 2009

COW



Today I was dumbfounded when I found a kid running around my Uncle's house. I barely go out and we seldom see each other. There was this little girl and the fact is; I don't know her. I knew my Aunt and Uncle kind of had a falling out period a couple of years ago but nobody in our family asked about it. There are some instances that you just have to keep mum about it so you do not get your relatives into an awkward situation; which you both probably would regret in the long run.

I am a bit suspicious that this is her daughter, but I am not sure. I am quite concerned that people may notice her too. What would they think about it? Rumors may spread and some of my relatives would end up ashamed of the situation. The kid may also be born from the helper he had 3 or 4 years ago. I hope I am wrong, but it is useless to speculate. I may have to tell my folks about it too but I have to wait things out. If there was a way I could do a DNA Test privately like what CYGENE Direct has then it would be better. I would not want this to go out and get blown of proportion.

I have read that this particular procedure also is done to people who would like to have their genealogy traced. If they are prone to one type or more of cancer then it would be detrimental for them to have certain treatments rather than getting a full Mastectomy or Hysterectomy. I saw in OPRAH a woman that had all her relatives genetically unfortunate to get Cysts and Ovarian Cancer. This was when she decided to proceed to removal instead of gamble stages of cancer in her body. It turned out to be the greatest decision she ever made in her life and it has inspired other people to also get checked. It pays to know how a simple DNA Testing can help you with your family's health. So for prediction and personal DNA Testing which you can do in the comfort of your own home, make sure you get CYGENE DIRECT a visit too. It works wonders!

Another Purchase

Among the endless things that I hate about my hobby is that I need to buy more things. Not that I am in GAS (Gadget Acquisition Syndrome) mode but it is just a necessity to purchase a flash unit. The ordinary pop up flash was a little disadvantageous when I covered an event so I decided to get one now. After all the deliberations with my peers and people that I saw using it, I plan to buy this one tomorrow:

Yes you are right, this is the Nissin DI622. Why of all flashes you say? Because it is relatively cheaper and imho it also out performed other Nikon units on the SB series. If I were to purchase now, it would be this one because it looks promising as there have been news of a new firmware that could be flashed on it making it support remote triggers. It should have been done a long time ago but anyway, this will be mine by hook or by crook LOL!

Oh my I'm losing all my savings on this hobby hahaha!
