Ehh??!?

Thought of the Week posted on our condo elevator. You need to think about it for a week to get the meaning. Hehe.

Overheard at a computer store yesterday.

"Miss, ilang chikabytes yang computer na yan?"

Hehe I guess they'll use it for showbiz stuff. Anyway, when the lady left the store clerks burst out laughing. One of the clerks shared that earlier someone asked him if their store sold "gigabytes".

Lensbaby

So we finally got the lensbaby I ordered online. It was supposed to be a surprise Christmas gift for Mimi. I ordered it a few days before Christmas and had it shipped supposedly overnight to my friend Cookie who was flying to Manila last Dec. 27. I ordered it Dec. 22 and should've reached her on the 23rd but as luck would have it, a severe snowstorm paralyzed the UPS hub... and my package got stuck and was resched to be delivered on the 28th. Obviously, Cookie already left. Anyway, I had the package sent to Johnny Air instead, and I got it from Johnny Air last Monday. The fee wasn't that bad also, around $12. Ordering online and having the package sent to Johnny Air is kinda addictive. I bought a flash attachment last week and I just checked that it has arrived in the Johnny Air office.

Now back to the lensbaby. It's actually more of a toy lens rather than a serious photography equipment. It has no electronic parts. Focus is done manually by squeezing the tube. Aperture is set by replacing the washer rings. It's a 100$ lens that turns your $1000+ camera into a $50 toy camera... and I love it! Below are samples of the shots... you can see the effect. Can't wait to use it during a wedding.
