dslr discovery

this morning i borrowed my friend's dslr camera..heck! what do i know? i just figured out that using one isn't just 'point and click', as i thought it would be..my friend/roommate/shopping buddy, was kind enough to tell me to switch to automatic mode, for the manual mode was for professionals..(gleek mode)..lol

so this morning i woke up at 6 oclock, and started taking pictures of myself..myself only because since i was in 'matic' mode, i couldn't control the focus..by the way i was using the macro lens..=)

i realized that using a dslr, was no joke..you really have to learn to use the damn rotten li'l bastard..haha

so after waking up at 6 am, after an hour of useless selca picture taking,,i felt really sleepy and woke up at 3 pm..i missed my favorite show..and my head still hurts..

last night i discovered yet another 'something' to pass the time away. it's called poupee girl. the site is mainly japanese. when registering for an account, you have to pick where your from; and the choices consist of mainly japanese cities. i figured it was made solely for japanese folk. but what the heck, i joined and chose tokyo as the city of which i'm supposed to come from.

just like all newbies, i was utterly lost. i didn't have any friends who were using the said 'social-networking site' so nobody told me what to do. so it took me two days to understand it ALL. it was hard at first because, their was just so much going on. good thing they had tutorials in ENGLISH. lol. but sometimes, some parts appear only in japanese characters, which i obviously don't understand, and click randomly when that happens.

i find it fun. like i said there are lots of things going on. you get to upload pictures of your favorite things, and your friends get to comment on them. speaking of friends, since none of my 'real' friends haven't heard of this, i didn't have anyone to add. so just like any desperate individual, i started randomly adding up people, and to-date i have 12 friends, of which i do not know any of them...hur hur..lol.

ok, so as i was saying. you get to upload your favorite things, and you get to 'suteki' them, it's like voting for the item. and comment on it as well. you also get to make a 'shopping list' and collect ribbons. the ribbons serve as the 'money' for shopping, and you can earn them, by commenting, signing in, buying stuff, uploading pictures, etc.

at the moment, i don't know but i'm kinda hooked to it, probably for because of the 'KAWAII' factor....

by the way here's my poupee girl/avatar..i named her leelee..!

5PREVIEW

once again, i stumbled upon an intersting site..i was surfing through "leblogdesushi.blogspot.com" and i checked out her DIY page (FYI: i love this site..*3*). and i saw all the stuff she's made, and my attention was drawn to this particular shirt. she said that she made it herself, using one picture from chictopia, as inspiration. so i clicked it and there was another link that brought me to this site >5PREVIEW

I SUPER LOVE THEIR SHIRTS..their simple yet quirky, it french based..so you can see lots of french words, eiffel towers..etc..

here are some samples i've seen..

ain't it pretty? *3*

i'm seriously considering t-shirts again..it's been a long time since i last bought one..

looks like some people are copying the designs..that explains why there where lots of imitations which they also cited in the said website..'bad bad'..

go check it out!

it's 2:30 am...*3*

i painted my nails blue today..hoorah for me..

shattered glass

this week has been different..i can tell that almost every year i experience something that really tests me. and this year it has happened, yet again..

i remembered my college professor telling us, that unlike her, we live in a world shielded by frosted glass. where everything from the outside world is, blurry, where everything in OUR world, is filled with pretty and wonderful things. i say that in my world, that glass has began to crack.

these past few days, i have thought of many ways to escape problems like these, many ways..and those ways have been selfish, and un-thought. maybe sometimes to escape life's problems, you just have to LIVE it. as simple as that.

sometimes, i look at the people around me, just like last night as i was watching the nightly news on television, a girl lost her sister and mother due to the typhoons up north. as well as a man who lost his wife and 2 kids, and left him paralyzed. sometimes i see the good things in my life, like a complete family, eating 3 times a day, having friends..yes those are the things that we should always be thankful for. this past week, i learned to count my blessings, literally.

every night i pray..hoping that this will all pass. i hope. maybe i should be thankful that unlike some, i still have a house and a family to be thankful for. my parents love me for who i am, and who i might be in the future.

so maybe my life hasn't begun yet. but in 5 months time, it WILL. and i'm sort of excited already. i just HOPE IT TURNS OUT THAT WAY.

to all the other lost souls out there, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel..i hope we all make it out..

crazy koreans..LOL

this is so funny..i've watched it 100 times..and i still keep laughing..hahaha

enjoy

INTERNET!!..finally

for two weeks...TWO WEEKS!! no dsl...i tried it all..

a. local internet cafe: nice place for someone who doesn't have it at home..too crowded though..but fairly cheap..and the owners are quite nice! xD

b.dial up: slow as ever...takes 400 years to check your mail..haha..even though they had free off-peak hours..I gave up..i was too tired WAITING for the web page to load..haha

and then here comes the commercial..smart bro plug it..only 990php!

we went to the nearest smart center..and snagged the first kit we layed eyes on..it took less than 30 minutes..=)

found the photo from the internet..

too lazy to take the picture myself..xD

its really handy..especially when you have a laptop..the speed=OK!..but it just fluctuates at times...there's just something about the consistency of the speed..but all in all..its A-OK!

so since the dsl is up again..this baby will go to the storage room first..xD..up until the dsl breaks down again..(which i hope..doesn't happen)
