This is getting weirder and frustrated. So i will stop. for the sake of this blog traffic. huh.

My dad actually just came back from Jordan and some other place near Jordan. He have left for 10 days few days after finishing his project meeting in Korea. Or is it China. hmm. How I wish I can travel a lot until I can remember where I have been last week. That would be.....something.

Moving on, my dad like always when he get back from somewhere he will bring us some merchandise, fridge magnet, shirts something as a souvenir for his 7 children. Not forgetting our Mom also. We usually have chocolate. Yummy, big and expensive chocolate specially imported from the duty-free chocolate shop in the Airports.

This time around we don't have any. Sadly. But Joice, we have Jordan chocolate. The Turkish Delight. Uh, it suppose to be Turkey chocolate then. Get jealous people.

if you wondering it's texture is like marshmallow but it have different taste. depending on the color

I actually have tasted it before. Hmm. let's see. 10 years ago? Uh. I can't flash back. But it still does taste nice like before. 10 years ago. Then my dad bought some soft toys since well ummm. last time I kinda wanted one that belong to my little brother. hehehe . Hey it's nothing wrong with guys loving soft toys right?

keychain. Korean made woot =>

Meet drago. Drago the penguin.

Drago is going to be companion for my DSLR as I will be hanging it on the camera strap itself. Then there is other bunch of stuff like the bookmarks and key chain. Man I love souvenirs. Do you?

New, fresh from the Oven of my head

Just a little update.


It has been a while since I posted up about my journey, about myself in this blog. Not because I don't want to, I know there is a lot of fan to this blog :P but because I was saving it for good.

THE LENS THAT WALKS

It's a new blog from me. Well, It's a photoblog, a diary with a lot of photos on it. If you know me well, I love to travel and along the way I'll shoot random things but when I get back and upload the images to my laptop, I seldom does not have a clue on what to do about it. So there you go. A photoblog.

Not to worries, I will still update this Save Internet, Save the World blog. I still wanted to save the internet and the world. lame. Don't forget to visit(by clicking on the text above) and add me as a contact :)

Upgrade

This evening I felt a little horny and decided to go and look for some porn. Don't get me wrong here. It's camera porn. Now I have a new favorite camera lens which is the Sigma 70-200 f/2.8 EX HSM II DG APO macro. It's an EX lens, equivalent to Canon L series lens but in a lower price. Suitable for a student like myself and people on the budget. While I will not exaggerating on how great the lens look, specs and such, a though come and hit me.

Why don't I upgrade my skills rather than upgrading my equipment?

I began shooting with my very DSLR early this year around February I think I'm not sure. And since then I have spent more than one thousand, probably close to two thousand on the equipment itself. I bought a telephoto lens, a prime lens, a flashguns and soon will be a battery grip. I know that photography is quite a very expensive hobby but I always wonder, can I get professional looks photograph using my existing unit without actually getting those high quality, fast lens that would cost me a house maybe.


The answer is both YES and NO! With my current consumer level equipment, there is no way I can take professional like photography. Let's talk reality here. I can't get a nice indoor sports with my current telephoto, the Sigma 70-300mm f/4 -5.6 APO DG Macro. F/4? That is rubbish! Totally rubbish. But I can improve my skills by finding a table or a pole where I can place my lens so that I can make the lens more stabilize for a longer shutter speed. Or maybe a monopod would help.

This does not only apply for photography but in other things in life too. Our appearance, our performance in sports, our exam result. Soccer for example. I can buy all those fancy boots and shoes with precise accuracy and all those lying crap they always proud of, but if the player are a rookie, he is still a rookie. The gear just added some cool factor to the player, not actual performance. You can buy all learning tools to help you succeed in your test but if you, yourself don't want to succeed and keep on wasting time, it's back to zero.


Anyway I would love to improve my photography. And that is exactly why I will stop buying any lenses for the next one, maybe two year so that I can focus with my current lenses while saving up for the greater lens, such as the Sigma 70-200 f/2.8 EX DG HSM II Macro :D


p/s: 1 month to go to enrollment for undergraduate

The result is finally official

While I suppose that today will be my happy day since, the lunar eclipse will show it face later in the evening but out of nowhere just after I wrote the previous post, my clique informed me that the result will be out on 26th. Which is TODAY!


If you just about to ask whether I got dean list like I dreaming to, STOP! I failed to achieve the target. Nevermind of that. But for me the result was quite okay considering (if I were to compare my result to others) that most of the people got nearly the same as mine. So i pretty much in the average group. teheeeeeeee.

Oh and my pointer? Okay fine. Because you were so dedicated on reading this blog I'll tell you.

wait for it

be patient

GPA : 3.17
CGPA : 3.37

There you go. Congratulations to all those that succeed in achieving their target and for those who does not, there is still more opportunities around. You just have to be strong and pray to the Almighty for your success. And for the rest that make it to Undergraduate, GOOD LUCK AND SEE YOU NEXT SEMESTER :)


p/s: YAY! I've passed the 3 pointer target to get myself a new laptop. wuuuuuu :D
