Nix

This is so late. :) Beth, please tell Nikki here are the photos. O:-)

Beth, Ryan, and I took a break one afternoon to shoot Nikki and Maix. It was kinda unplanned so we decided to shoot at Clark cemetery since it's pretty close. Very close... to SM so we can eat right away afterward. :-D It was our first time to shoot after hibernation if I can call it that way. Good thing, Beth has so many ideas running inside her mind. I'm very impressed with her preparations. I was kinda unprepared that time. I even ran out of batteries in my camera. I failed to charge it the night before. I don't know what I was thinking. :-D We plan to shoot again sometime in the very near future. Maybe then I'll be more prepared. It's really no joke to have a shoot like this. I wish I could have more great shots. :)

Nix photos for now... :)

8-8-8 Wedding

Churches were packed with couples getting married last August 8. For some, it's a great number combination. And one of the couples to tie the knot that day was a family friend. Quite unfortunately though, I'm not the one who covered the event. They already made reservations long before I went full-time. :) I was only with my mom since she's a Ninang so I find myself with no company at all. This is where my camera comes in. Great companion. :) Here are some of our gigs:









I was also quite bored during the reception so I just played around.

Very lazy evening

I just finished writing that Apple fever thing. I have a lot of things to do tonight instead of that. Job-related. It's just that the weather is making me VERY lazy. It's cold and rainy outside. It's very quiet everywhere in our place as well. I just hate it when it's like this. Not the weather. But my laziness! :-D It's gonna be a lot of catching up tomorrow. :) I have to go to bed now even if I'm not that sleepy yet. Good night. :)

Apple fever?

Disclaimer: This is no way an ad for Apple products... if it is. :-D

I just bought the 2nd iPod Shuffle for the week. It's for my mom. The other one was last weekend. It's for my wife. I also bought two Altec Lansing BXR1121 speakers for both iPod(s). The result, priceless music and sound experience for the two most important women in my life. :) iPod has always been the leading MP3 player. Second is Creative. When my wife and I were checking some MP3 players last weekend, I can't see that smile I'm looking for whenever she tries those "China-made" players. I then told her this isn't what she's looking for. But having a half-Chinese partner, they want whatever is cheap. I asked her to try the iPod instead. That's where the smile I'm looking for appeared. I told her that smile is priceless so we'll take the iPod. She was about to react about the price but I told her it may be pricey, but the experience is priceless. What a great excuse to buy expensive stuff huh. :) I asked her if she wants the Nano (iPod video is just too expensive for me). Again, her Chinese instinct punched in. She said she doesn't need that small screen. I told her she can watch movies with it. She said it's gonna be no way she'll be watching movies with those tiny screens. That was like a slap in my face. :-D So it was the Shuffle indeed.



My mom has the bluish violet color and she simply love the sound also. So it's like Apple fever is getting along well with me or us. What's next? iPhone 3G? Mmm... nah. But I'll be using a lot of Apple products now especially in my job. Will I be putting Apple stickers in my car's windows? Mmm... nah. Will I be getting iPod Touch in the future as photo viewer? Mmm... nah. I still want the Epson P-series. So you see, Apple is great but not all the time. Therefore, I can say I might not have that Apple fever still.

How about Bose fever? Me want that. :-D Someday... someday!!! :)

Uploaded!

While the revised design of my website is in the works, I decided to post the first design still. I've been too busy with a lot of things lately and I can't find time to sit for the new design. I think this is gonna be good for now. :)
