It's been days since my last entry. Actually i have a quota of 1 blog a day, this is a test of will power actually. This is to motivate me to stop spending on short term wanted stuff like earphones for my pod and stone, a variety of cases for my E61i and my never ending quest for macbook accessories!
Anyways, I've realized plenty of stuff this week. Its more of "It should have been this way from the start". Lets start with my previous entry
"Photography"
It was my 1st ever studio shoot last Saturday. That was the 1st time i ever saw a woman's beauty in a sensual and artistic way. It was so exiting actually. The intensity and adrenaline of having a studio shoot is like the feeling of having your 1st ever strike in a bowling game, your 1st basket on a school basketball league, your 1st successful day at work, and having your 1st crush in high school.
"Music"
After like a 8 months, i got my original ipod back. A 4th gen 20GB ipod click wheel. Can't stop listening to it again. I'm kind of motivate to play the guitar again! Well, to cut the long story short, Anything or anyone with sentimental value or importance can never be replaced with a newer, more sophisticated, prettier and more expensive or elite thing or person because of the happy and sad times you been with it, him or her.

1st Studio Shoot
It was a great weekend for me. Had my 1st studio photo shoot with my newly acquainted Friend JP Culang (System's Engineer Fujitsu Philippines) who is also a photo newbie. Surprisingly, the shoot pushed through even we had so little preparation. I was accompanied by my friend,mentor and fellow podcentral member Chris Perez. It was really fun and the learning curve really kicked in!
We started like 8:00 PM and ended 11:00 PM. Didn't know that taking photographs of models is tiring, which proved that i ain't physically fit! Really liked the model's appearance. Really sweet looking and emotional. Here are sample Shots
Pink in Black
Yellow Feathers
Smile
Really proud of these photos because i really didn't expect that the out come would be like these. Well, more shoots to come!
I'm planning to purchase a nice camera before Christmas (Gift to my hardworking self, hehehe). I'm still deciding what to get though.
A Nikon D40x
Canon 400D
Well, i prefer the D40x though, cause it was just released this year. The 400D was released 1 1/2 years ago. The CON of the D40X is, it has no local support here in the PH!

One of those days
I started my day yesterday at the wrong side of the bed. I slept at 2am which i think I've been doing for the past 3 days. I always wake up with a headache and rushing to work. I don't even enjoy my breakfast anymore. Anyways, I slept at 2am and woke up 7am (5 hours of sleep is crap to me, and i still don't understand why the hell Im still doing it!) and remembered that it was Thursday (Color coding day), so i had to hitch a ride with KL who usually leaves between 7:30 - 7:45am. Luckily, i sent him an SMS earlier that i would hitch a ride to the office.
After enduring a long walk from Amorsolo St. to Benavides St. I smoked 2 cigarettes which made my lungs breathe harder. The day went on normally with no to much client calls. Lunch time i went out to meet the buyer if of my stock Creative earphones in Mc Donalds Greenbelt. I skipped lunch because i had a late breakfast. I went on earphone hunting again in GB 1 and went back to the office empty handed because there were no earphones of my standards available in the shops within GB.
I waited for Allan to get back from BSP to the office because i was helping him out to buy a new PC for her aunt. He got there about 6PM and accompanied me to Glorietta Parksquare for another earphone hunting spree. I ended up buying a crappy pair of earphones that i've never heard of and read about.

I dont even want to talk about what happened, but if you want to find out, feel free to read my post about the piece of shit i was referfing to here.

Understanding your music era
I'm kind of puzzled my dad when he listens to his music over and over again :) Since the day i was born (I think!) till present, he still listens to his same old "Baby Boomer Era" music. I remember when i was a kind, he had a huge amount of cassette tapes of the Ventures, Shadows and RJ Jacinto. He always tunes his car radio to 100.3 (RJ FM) even when he uses my car. Well, i think i found the the last piece of the puzzle just last Sunday.
I was reading reviews of the ipod shuffle last week because i wanted a small portable MP3 player. I'm kind of scared brining my 30 GB ipod video around because most of the time I'm commuting to and from the office. Its also bulky and i prefer not to bring excess luggage if my macbook isn't around. Saturday night i decided to purchase a player. I called up my fellow org (podcentral) member Carlo "Actungbaby" Carillio and asked about the Creative Zen Stone since i've been reading a lot of material on one of Carlo's posts in podcentral.
I went to Electro world in SM Bicutan (I think Electro World is beginning to have competitive prices or is it I'm earning already for my gadget needs?) to browse and compare the 2nd and 3rd gen ipod shuffle, Creative Zen Stone and the Creative Zen Stone Plus. The 1st thing that came to my mind is, what do i really need? How much am i willing to spend? Well, different kind of answers popped to my head but yes, it was quite clear. I needed a cheap (2k above is too much hehe), decent sounding (So it means CD-R King Players are out of the question) and good looking (Metro-Sexuial looking is a plus), portable light weight MP3 player.
I ended up with this one
Priced at Php 1,999 its a steal, Very decent sounding (cannot be compared to those cheap CD-R King players sound quality), Very sexy and slim looking (It's Metro-Sexuial since its white) and its very portable and light weight (I see this a VPN token (RSA)i use to carry around with my ID laced to my lanyard)
Now, the question is, what songs should i upload? It all came back to me. When i was on the 5th grade i learned to play the guitar because of the influence of Nirvana, STP, GNR, Def leopard, ETC. Actually Nirvana was the stand out of all the bands i listen to. Kurt Cobain at that time was a music god to me. Time passed by and i shifted to world music (reggae, zen, christian rock, ETC) but still grunge still was my 1st choice. I even played guitar for some school formed bands. Year 2002 came and i got sick of alternative and grunge music. I was introduced to house music by a friend. I started collecting MP3's again and bought my 1st ipod, a 20GB 4th gen click wheel ipod for massive storage.
50GB of house music ain't enough? From the record labels, hed kandi, MOS, naked music, defected, ETC i was popular among my friends because i had the biggest house music collection. Getting back to my new toy, what songs did i upload? The songs i missed and kept on listening through the years...
Alternative and grunge. The era i grew up with. With all the happy and sad times when i was in high school, the time i had crushes and dedicated songs to them, motivation of doing something or forgetting something while i was listening to the sweet strums of a guitar. Basically, this is the missing piece of the puzzle. You can never leave something you grew up with. Happy, sad, angry, frustrated, confused and over joyed you can never go wrong with the songs you heard feeling all those emotions.
