can't-think-can't-write-mode

So i am still in my "can't-think-can't-write" mode..I'm trying so badly to think about anything, just anything that i can post in here. (about happy thoughts and I, becoming desperately insane about it.) I don't know..I've been like this in weeks now and I'm seriously worried, yes! maybe that's it I worry too much with the things that is going on around me that's why i can't focus on the things i opt to do. I don't even think i made sense at all..arghh.. i hate feeling this way, it's like I'm running in circles and i don't know exactly where it ends, like trapped in a box that i can't get out that's how it felt and still feeling at this very moment. I AM SO NOT IN THE MOOD FOR ANYTHING UNLESS IT IS CHANGE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT!

"an hour later" (yeah! believe me..)
ha ha.. This is killing me..I mean, i wrote a research paper about Australian wage law yesterday (C'MON!! that's Australian wage law..) how come i can't write anything about myself and how i've been this past couple more weeks ( I guess..) I'm soo gonna be dead soon..huhu..becoming miserable was never a good thing..it has been more-sleep-less-awake ME and it bothers me nowadays..I've been reading a lot though and yes doing lots of work at the office..I AM PRE-OCCUPIED WITH A LOT OF THINGS. not so good things though.. oh well maybe i just have to bare with it til something good comes up.*sigh*

I think you look gorgeous in this pic leigh! I just have to upload it here.hihi!

I'll be with Tin this Saturday "Embassy-ing" right! so to clear my mind a bit..

still can't think str8..

I am in the state where in basically want to do a lot of things all at the same time, i wanted it so badly that i can't stop thinking about it. I am constantly longing for change, progress, development all those kind of thing. I can't even think of anything to write about and that bugs me. I am effin confused with what I really want to accomplish first.(damn, I cant think of anything to say) I posted some pop art works that I've made yesterday using photoshop. I made those from scratch what i did was watch a video tutorial in youtube and follow the step by step guide in doing pop arts now I badly want to study graphic design..

UdD@6UG PEARL DRIVE

"DHARMA", to start with, refers to the laws of life, which by its vague definition is characterized on how evidently multifarious things in life truly are. They perpetuate the paradox of transcending visual still images into reality. That is how Armi, Ean, Paul and Carlos got their band's name and often explains their music, having rather of a different kind of music influences that eventuate into a vigorous auditory sensation that allures different types of listeners all across the globe.

UdD @ 6UG

Just wanna share with all of you our fun friday night watching up dharma down live (for the first time) WE HAD A BLAST WATCHIN' THEM, and I am addicted with their MUSIC! This won't definitely be our last. I posted some pictures of the band for everyone.

STATEMENT TEES

Statement tees are getting more and more popular nowadays. It has been a hit since day one and almost all the brands in the Philippines has already altered the trend of exhibiting clothes with different kinds of emotions and comical pick-up lines. It's always good to wear a statement tee just because in one way or another you're able to express yourself using it.I can still remember a couple of my first statement shirts that says " BOYS LIE" ha ha! (So true!) and one that says "Shopaholic" (True again!) If i can remember, I bought it in Anonymous and Fish way back in high school.



Its fun wearing statement shirts, catching other people's attention or by just making them laugh are the best part of it but there's just this one consequence of bumping in with somebody who's wearing the same t-shirt that you're wearing, Lets talk about inconvenience and awkwardness! ha ha!



I bought my latest statement tees 2 days ago, I've seen shirts like this over the internet but was too afraid to buy online. I just think money transfers are way too risky, there's this fear of not getting what you've paid for, or not having the exact design that you ordered, you also have to consider the size, color, or even the texture of the materials that they used. (Not to mention, the order form that you have to fill-up once you decided to purchase something..he he!) Luckily, while strolling with my friends at G4 we came across a booth named "The plain white shirt" wherein they are selling the exact shirts I wanted.( I uploaded some pics for you guys!)



I so love this "Little Miss Marian" shirt from the day i saw it online, why? simple, I am a pure blooded Marian and I'd be so proud to represent my school by just wearing those Tshirt (after all I won't be this good..ahem..ahem..ha ha!) plus it made me reminisce a lot about high school, friends, teachers, crushes, parties, night-outs, all those sorts of fun crazy things.


The other one I got says "Little Miss Snapshot" I bought this because I'm starting to develop a passion for photography its like seeing the artistic side of me progressing into something bigger and better. (After all I belong to a clan of artists, Its good to know that I inherited some of it.)

I think T-shirts can never go out of style just because it can be worn and paired with almost anything, and for better ways to wear it? make a STATEMENT be different and express yourself. =)

I bought this yesterday after our shift at PRP, I call it my peeping shoes because of the mirror like stones attached to it.(very useful, specially with guys wearin' boxers!) he he he!
And yeah, I'm not making any sense at all.. ;)

then, We had sisig hooray for lunch..pfft.. that did not satisfy me at all.. I dunno, what we had yesterday was too oily..it turned out to be "sinebohang sisig".. Yikes! so, instead of indulging myself with too much cholesterol, I ended up buying a watermelon shake at fruit magic. Ok, enough with advertisements. (Its as if I'm gettin' paid with this..ha ha!)

Then later on we found out that G5 had just recently opened, (M.I.A.,much?)
that only meant a couple more hours of shopping for us.lol. ('',)

You never stop loving someone. It's more of just learning to deal with the pain of not having them anymore

I can't think of anything to write about, I've been staring at this "posting box"(if that's how you call it) for almost 30 minutes now..( if you know what i'm talking about). The thing is I can't stop thinking about this certain person and for some reasons I still can't get the "HIM" out my my head but I know I will be fine, it's not like the other times I've broken up with boyfriends, when I've been so heartbroken I've cried solidly for about three weeks and not wanted to go anywhere or do anything. Okay, I had that one night from hell, but since then I've been really okay, and at least I know there's no point living on false hope. At least I know it really is over so I can move on. But I have to say that this time I feel a bit numb, still in a state of shock, really, although I don't feel that my world has ended, not completely. I suppose that the light at the end of the tunnel, though not very bright, is at least still there. They say that it never hurts as much after the first time, and I suppose there's an element of truth in that, but they also say that every time you get hurt the barriers go up a little bit higher and you end up being hard and cynical, and not giving anything to anyone.

5 Basic things you have to know about Shutter Speed.

If you’re new and still unfamiliar with photography, you may clamber with some of the terms used in the business.

Abundantly, one of the most essential assumption in taking photographs is that of shutter speed. Learning to administer the shutter speed is delicate to pleasing pictures.

This article will accent 5 consequential facts about shutter speed, which you must apprehend to take admirable photographs in a wide range of conditions.

1. What is shutter speed?

Let’s start with a basic description of shutter speed. Now, the shutter in a digital camera is a fine sheet shielding the CCD (think of the CCD as ‘film’). When this shutter opens, it exposes light from the exterior onto the CCD, consequently permit a picture to be taken. The duration of time that the shutter remains open is termed the shutter speed.

The key concept is– the longer the shutter remains open (i.e. the lower the shutter speed), the greater the amount of light that is allowed into the camera. And vice versa, the faster the shutter closes (i.e. the higher the shutter speed), the smaller the amount of light that is allowed into the camera.

2. How is shutter speed expressed?

If you look at modern digital cameras, shutter speeds are usually expressed as 1/8th of a second. The range of shutter speeds can be expressed as: 1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/15, 1/30, 1/60, 1/125, 1/250, with each one being a fraction of a second. Each speed in this series is roughly half that of the one on the left.

3. Choosing the Correct Shutter Speed

Here’s the important question. How do you select the correct shutter speed when taking photos? Well, if you have a point-and-shoot camera, then it may not matter too much. Simply set the camera to automatic mode and snap the picture. The camera’s in-built auto exposure settings will take care of the shutter speed settings for you.

If, however, you like to play with manual settings and have a more advanced camera, then the choice of shutter speed clearly matters. What you need to remember is this – shutter speeds are very closely linked to movement.

City street photo taken with a slow shutter speed

Use a slow shutter speed (say 1/60 or lower) if you want to introduce some blur in the picture to display speed in the subject. Remember, however, that a slow shutter speed will mean you need to hold the camera totally still for a longer period of time. If you can’t do this, your image will usually turn out bad. To work around the problem, use a tripod or steady your arms somewhere before taking the shot. As a general rule, if the shutter speed is 1/30 or slower, I’ll definitely use my tripod to steady the camera.

An passing car taken with a fast shutter speed

Use a fast shutter speed (say 1/125 or higher) if you need to capture a fast moving subject. Good examples include a passing car or a bird in flight. Now, one problem with fast shutter speeds is that you can totally miss the shot because the shutter opens and closes so fast. To workaround this, you can try one of two things. First, avoid the camera LCD - look through the viewfinder with one eye and use the other eye to spot the subject crossing the camera’s field of view. Second, you can try uses a lens that increases the field of view, allowing you more time to take the picture.

4. Make Use of the Light Meter

Another thing I find useful is to make use of the light meter in your camera. Most advance Digital cameras should have this feature. The light meter can tell you if there is too much or too little ambient light.

If it’s too bright, then you can set a fast shutter speed like 1/250 - the shutter will quickly open and close so that too much light doesn't get in. If it’s too dark, then do the reverse – use a slow shutter speed to give the camera time to absorb light into the camera.

5. Direction of Movement

OK, besides the speed of your subject, the direction of movement of your subject is also important. Look at the diagram below which I use to explain this concept.

For a given shutter speed, if your subject is running perpendicular to the camera, then you need a faster shutter speed to capture the shot. If your subject is running at an angle towards the camera, then a slower shutter speed would suffice. An example is a photo of your pet dog. A dog running towards you would require a slower shutter speed then a dog running across you.

Conclusion

I hope you now understand shutter speed a little better. When I started out in digital photography, I was simply snapping pictures without understanding the concept of shutter speed. Bad mistake! Take the time to understand the fundamentals of shutter speed and you’ll be surprised how much your photography skills will improve.

..PAO-PAO..

I've been so afraid of dogs because when i was still a child and had just started walking,an enormous dog, almost 4 times bigger than i am knocked me over, since then i've been frightened with dogs.Dogs may and do attack people occasionally. However, it is as conventional as everyone thinks, and there's a lot of thing that we can do to help us guarantee that we won't be bitten. To learn about their behavior and body language is the most essential of it all.


The further you understand concerning something, to the lesser extent it is scary. Most of us are panic-stricken for we don't know what a dog can do next.They can and they do make contact almost all the time through their body language. A basic awareness of a dogs body language can help us fully understand their intentions.


Begin at a distance, ingenously watch the puppy's manners and when ready feel free to play with the puppy and bond with them. My boyfriend helped me not to be afraid with dog since he bought me a mini pin as a gift for our anniversary we call him paopao by the way, and he is the sweetest thing ever (well, yeah! he loves me oh so very much!) and i am seriously and madly in love with him too. he's my baby, that most of the time i can't help but be excited whenever he's around. He's just so adorable,sweet, and playful and he never gets tired.

I think somehow having paopao helped me overcome my fear. Let's just not talk about big K9 dogs ok?he he! As of the moment i'm happy having paopao around and taking good care of him is my main focus.
