On giving a chance...

How funny sometimes, we ended up with the person we hate or I should say we like the least, but eventually learn to love them because of their personalities that were unknown to us unless, we give them the chance to prove us otherwise.

I've given the chance to someone whom I've met at the office almost a year ago. It wasn't a chance meeting. We just met due to unavoidable circumstances -:)

Then we began sharing thoughts, ideas and experiences. He maybe younger than me, but I find him mature enough to handle relationship (or maybe because of his past experiences? hmm...).

What really caught my attention about this person was his way of replying to my inquiries (or maybe because of his past experiences, again? and maybe too, it's my lack of experience with matters like these. hmm...). He intrigues me. Or I'm just being too transparent and he was able to read it? But I'm just being myself. Just the simple me, no pretentions whatsoever.

We are just starting out. Just enjoyin' the moment whatever there is to enjoy and we'll just see where this would lead us.

To be continued...

My first Entry Level DSLR


After months and months of searching the net for the best entry level DSLR, i finally decided to buy my very first DSLR...CANON EOS 450D (US version).

Ever since i was a kid, i always dreamed of becoming an artist. First, I wanted to become a pianist, i tried learning the piano at home (well, it was my sister who was actually being trained), i'm on the other hand was just a "saling-pusa". Well, at least i have advanced to Grade 1 in my piano lesson, self-study actually (uhuh! thanks to my sis who willingly shared what was taught to her). Then, i gave up, i was really having a hard time reading the notes and tempos. The only piece, a very simple piece that i was able to play was "Let me Call you Sweetheart". hahaha. So i decided to do some sketch work. Very first sketch work? a portrait of my long time high school crush. Yes! I was able to sketch him without his picture at hand. (so inspired?) I told my self, maybe I should enroll in a charcoal painting class, but I was at that time still in college, so i was kinda "nahihiya" to my parents to ask them for an additional budget for my "extra curricular activities". So, i tried to forget all about it and eventually, i graduated from college and got myself a job.

But my thirst, did not end up there. I continued to search on what i really wanted to do aside from my current job (Persistent huh!). When my son was born, i just can't keep my eyes off him and wanted to record every detail of him, every moves, every smiles, every cries, every moment of his life. I was so thankful i have a camera phone. I was able to capture all those moments...(but not quite satisifed with the result, i need a good quality photos!!!). That was the beginning...
It's like everything has fallen into the right places... A friend of mine gave a contact where i can buy the cheapest deals on DSLRS...and voila, I got the camera i was dreaming of...and the art suited for me...
