The Story of my Life

it would be tempting, but I would have to decline,
for life would no longer teach me anything..."

My New Baby

Posted by Claire | Labels: ,

For sometime now, I've been really thinking of purchasing a lens for my cam. A few months ago, I decided to prioritize getting a flash. But I still kept an eye on this lens. Then, someone from work was selling her pre-loved lens 40% off the tag. The rest is history.



Here are a couple of test shots.






I'll let your imagination fly from here...

New Toy

Posted by Claire | Labels:






One of the things I was happy to be rewarded with after giving birth was getting an iPad from the husbo. It was a toss up between a laptop (yes because my trusty Dell retired a few months ago) or an iPad, and despite the scarce supply of the iPad2 during that time, it still got my vote.



What got me so into the iPad was the thought that I could bring it anywhere and playing with it was as simple as tapping the screen. Not to mention it was light and sleek.



To date, the iPad has been my all-day, anywhere companion. It tags along wherever I go --mall, office, gym, even the bathroom. I love it because I can use it when surfing, catching up with my latest TV series, listening to music, reading the papers, taking pictures and videos of Kara's latest stunts, and so much more.



So happy with my choice. Thanks Hubby for this gift. Oh, and this post reminded me that I haven't baptized her with a name. Haven't thought of anything, actually, but suggestions are welcome.

Havin'-A-Baby: Baby Stuff

Posted by Claire | Labels: ,

As early as now, I'm already asking friends what baby gadgets I should buy, where I can buy it, and how much they would cost. I've done some math and I'm a little overwhelmed with the amount we will be spending. Good thing there's an option to buy it from the US, where I can get them for half of the local price. I haven't really visited malls yet, all my researches are based on online prices and friends' feedback.


Here are the items on the list, so far:



Maclaren Techno XT Stroller




Medela Freestyle Breastpump


Graco Crib

I'm thankful that our company insurance will take care of the hospital bill when I give birth, at least I can focus on saving up for these and other baby stuff. Now I just hope relatives in the US will be kind enough to ship these to us. Please help me, dear Lord.

Then There Was Light

After a few weeks of thinking and scouting, I finally decided to get one of the two gadgets I've been eyeing for Honeylet.

Last weekend, Photoworld Asia held its annual product exhibit at Glorietta and I couldn't let it pass without a purchase. When I got there, I already had a model in mind for both the lens and the flash. But have not decided which gadget to buy. It was a tough choice but I ended up getting the flash because I know I would need it more than the lens. Also their selling price of the lens is a bit more expensive than the store here in Megamall.

Now, I just need to practice and learn the ins and outs of using this flash.

Lens or Flash?

VS


I know, it's the new year, and I shouldn't be thinking about spending too much. But I've been itchin' to buy one of these two gadgets since Christmas. I super want it. I bought a tripod last December, and if I were a little loose on the money, I would've grabbed either a flash or the lens. gggrrr...will think about it more.
