New Camera

Whispers: I need a new camera.

I don’t want my camera to “hear my thoughts” because sometimes these things act out when a replacement is being eyed :D

Candlelight

I’ve been eye-ing several cameras since I can’t remember when ever since that other camera I’m using got busted and I can’t take decent photos with it. I still have my old and functional P&S camera though and it has never failed me, except when the batteries are low in juice. Since I have been a Canon user as all my cameras are Canon, I have narrowed the list of cameras I think suits what I need. One of those in the list is the Canon EOS Rebel T2i.

Photography seems to be a “craze” these days, because I see a lot of people with big dslr cameras hanging on their necks even if they are not in a photo shoot and just strolling in the malls. Errr… the security personnel usually tell them to stop taking photos when they do.

Busy

I’ve been busy these days to take new photos. I do still take photos mostly with my crappy mobile phone camera.

The children’s studies take precedence over other things. So When I am not busy researching ph meters, homemade detergent soap and equations, I am helping out review for quiz bee competitions.

The house chores at time had to be scheduled (except of course the cooking).

A few weeks from now summer vacation will be here and I would welcome the break, except I am not prone to being idle.

Flower Garden

Once upon a time, I tried to have a flower garden. We had flower plants with blooms and orchids. The orchids were full grown ones given to me as gift by a mom of a student. Talk about free flower delivery :)

orange flowers

Alas, I did not have enough green thumb skills to keep these alive and thriving.

I found my green thumb though, when I discovered I can grow herbs and even “harvested” calamansi last year. This is much better, according to my husband ;)

Walking Path

I love walking especially on walking paths and trails. I have yet to test my new pair of shoes because I haven’t used it more than twice yet, especially for long distance walking.

Walking Path

Walking is one of the more inexpensive exercise. This should be encouraged in residential areas and I’m am sure moms and dads with baby jogger strollers will definitely welcome the idea of having walking paths where they live.I know I do, so we won’t have to travel somewhere else just to have a good place to walk.

And yes, more often than not, travel time becomes the excuse to not go at all.

Jan14: Empty Shelf

jan14

These empty shelves are what’s left ever since heavy rains seeped from the ceiling to the walls last month, destroying the books i use with some of my students.

Still, I am grateful that…

* i was able to save the more recent and more important teaching materials i have from utter uselessness

* i had the chance to “meet” Katniss and Peeta in digital print. I cant wait to watch them on the big screen soon

* i had the chance to challenge someone’s thinking skills without giving too many clues and prompts

enjoy the rest of the weekend!
