my light at the end of the tunnel

..is getting smaller ..:(




i'm posting a p.s. to this on 04 February 2012


of all my posts here in this blog, this got the highest number of views.  i wonder why...?

my t-bird

this time, it's a real toy! a toy that looks like the real thing.

i stopped by a toy store near my place and this is what i opted for. and it has been with me for three days before i got a chance to take a shot at it. we were waiting for our bus in the parking lot when i thought of taking this picture.

new toy

i am excited...when i was in the mall and felt hungry, i chose mcdonald's and ordered happy meal (for the free toy of course!)..so i can start experimenting on my toy photography.  i got a black car, well, which looked like a real toy...but it doesn't matter..i'll bring it with me everywhere i go, and shoot, shoot, shoot..!

toy photography

i came across this website where they tell something about toy photography. it really is something new to me, in fact first time i heard of it. and i find it quite interesting. because i like photography (all kinds) and having toys as subjects made me like it even more. and i even read that you don't need to have a dslr to achieve the desired outcome. well, what i have is a canon digital cam, 7.1 mega pixels and that's all i can say of my camera's specs!  for me, canon means camera, and that's all i need. (biased)..

i was so hyped up by the article (blog) that i want to try it right away. problem is i don't have any toys lying around here (we're all adults here in the flat. adult toys don't count ok?) so i just grabbed some small items which i hope would pass for toys. anyway, anything small may be considered a toy, right? so i set them up and took a shot. here it is...

i call this pic - the clothespin family. :)

Soul food

I'm glad I have subscribed to Bo Sanchez's soul food.  I really feel enlightened every time I read his newsletter and his stories.  He's a very good story teller by the way, and he has lots!!

The latest one I read was about one's kindness, which means (as i understand it) not being judgmental towards our brothers.

This made me think of my friend way back in high school who got involved in some sort of a scandal, just recently, so i won't go into details here.

But I feel for her really. I wanted to talk to her, to tell her she has a friend here, and that everything will be alright in the end. But I can't, cause I don't know how I can get in touch with her. I just prayed that may she have the strength to go through it all. 

In all these years, I think i have gained the understanding of why people do the things they do. I always seek for the reasons (however unreasonable) which might have driven them to do such things...for i know, in my heart, that they will come to realize the faults of their choices..

like I did. :)
