I love this shot.
I don't have any expensive lights and equipments so I used the sun as my primary light source. I think black and white is great for baby pictures.
Oh btw, that's my nephew / godson. Isn't he adorable?

Work or School?
Work and School?
Been enjoying every single day of my vacation but it will soon end. I was not expecting too much from my previous job; whether they still give me a schedule or not. So I thought of just going back to school and take my Masters this time.
Our family business is an academic institution and before I can handle it, I must have a Masteral Degree in Educational Management. My parents told me that they will let me and my sisters decide if we still wish to continue this business. It's hard to let go of the school because it has been operating since 1974.
I got a text from our course coordinator earlier telling me that I still have a load this coming term. I felt happy, shocked and sad all at the same time cause I have lots of other plans to do for the next school year.
Anyways, I still have to think about several things before making any decisions.
Job = Money.
I'll just keep that in mind.

Weee! Last week, I finally bought my very first DSLR. I've been wanting this camera for a very long time. Haha
I asked my mom and dad to accompany me because I heard that camera supplies are very cheap in Hidalgo, Quiapo. I've never been there so might as well ask someone who is familiar with the place.
We arrived at Quiapo and walked for like 15 minutes to reach Hidalgo St. But all camera shops were still closed at 9am so we decided to hear mass at Quiapo Church. It was also my first time to enter the famous Philippine Church so it was a very nice experience.
After the mass, we returned to Hidalgo and found a number of shops already open. We asked for the price and finally decided to buy at 24K Photo Inc.
I really know nothing about photography and whatnot. My only knowlegde came from watching videos on YouTube and reading online tutorials. Haha. Anyways, like what they always say... Keep shooting!

Comments are highly appreciated.

Album for this month:
"Declaration"
by David Cook
I've seen Cook's journey in AI and how unique his style was compared to the rest of the contestants. I love his cover of the Mariah original "Always Be My Baby" and Webber's "Music of the Night".
His album Declaration was not very surprising in the sense of his music style. Overall, I would rate this album as Good because I was hoping for something more. I just felt that something is missing; maybe I just find the songs to be very monotonous. Don't hate me for saying these please. Haha. I still love David.
Anyhow, here are my top song picks:
1. Light On
2. Declaration
3. Lie
4. Mr. Senstitive
5. Permanent
A few months back, YouTube announced that they will be picking musicians all around the world for the very first YouTube Symphony Orchestra. The search is open for all professional and amateur musicians. They provided a sheet music for interested individuals and was available for download. The piece is called "The Internet Symphony Eroica"composed by Tan Dun. You must also submit another piece aside from the one mentioned previously.
I tried to practice the violin part but I failed. Haha. No time to practice and it was kinda too advanced for me. Haha. Anyways, I'm so happy seeing the winners of the search and felt proud for them.
The chosen applicants played at Carnegie Hall last April 15, 2009. Here's a vid of their marvelous performance.

For almost three weeks now, I've been experiencing severe headaches. It starts usually during the afternoon and it will only stop when I close my eyes at night. Only the left side of my head hurts and the pain is severe on my temple. Sometimes my toothache also contributes to my agony. I really should visit my dentist anytime soon.
I could still bear the pain during the first week but it's like slowly getting worse and it's scaring me a little. Sometimes I bang my head on the wall or the table because it really hurts a lot. A day won't pass without me taking a Paracetamol, Mefenamic Acid or Ibuprofen. It's like I'm only functioning by drinking these meds (Well I have other meds too you know.) It's been quite a while that I have been taking medications regularly and it sucks if I may say.
Last night when I was about to sleep, my headache started and my tummy got upset. I wanted to throw up but was too lazy to get up so I just closed my eyes, curled up like a ball and waited for myself to fall asleep. Then a couple of hours ago, while feeding Tofu, I kinda got dizzy and my sight slightly got blurred. It's like I'm not wearing my eyeglasses when surely I am. I had to refocus my eyes so that my vision will be straight again. Hmmm...
Well I don't wanna worry my mom a lot but I had no choice but to tell her. She said that we'll go to the doctor one of these days to get a CAT Scan at and MRI. I don't know what to think... Or maybe it's about time to not think very much. Haha.
I'm still enjoying my worry-free vacation and I love waking up late and just watching the TV or the baby. Haha. It just spoils my day when my headache attacks. I'm also having this extreme sensitivity to light whenever I have these headaches. Oh well.
(-_-)
OMG.
I was really breathless while watching this video. This dude seriously hates his MacBook Air and literally stuck a knife in it. What the hell was he thinking? Who will say that an IBM is better than a MBA?
I bet he is an employee of IBM or something like that. Haha. He could have just given that MBA to me. Haha
Geez.
Wonder if he'll put that on eBay.
