where to?

where are you heading? :-)

i'm thankful for the many crossroads i had with real good friends considering i'm some kinda autistic hehehe... it was nice to have our roads meet and it was nice i had roads to travel with them...even for just some time because we must take on other roads after... :-) it's nice to look back on those happy times, how much those had shaped us into us today....

another year is about to close, looking back at my 2010 i'm glad it was a really nice year for new crossroads... :-) i don't want to have expectations for the new year, just a little hope that it'll be as fun as this year... :p

savor the rest of 2010!!! :-)

meet my new clickbuddy!

i named him Io! (read as eye-yow)... inspired by one of Jupiter's moons, but then the I and the O is perfect to replace the number 10... hehe

i previously owned 2 point&shoot cameras... my Canon Ixus 70i and my water-proof Olympus1030SW (i introduced both in this post: Ixus and Zeke)...

for 3 years i had been using my ixus day in day out nonstop! hehehe... but after my last davao trip, he had given up on me already... :-( he fell real hard and had a bad opening on one of its corners... that's why i had been contemplating on getting a new point&shoot camera... and i'm not too happy with photos from Zeke if he's not underwater... but after having Zeke I don't think I can live without an underwater cam... hehehe I'm a Canon user that's why I was really disappointed when they released their D10 just a few months after I bought Zeke... but now is the perfect time for me to own a D10!!! I am retiring Ixus, and I gave Zeke to my kuya....

I bought Io last July... he's 3months old as of this post... I'm still adjusting with his bulkiness, I got so used to with Ixus which can fit well in just 1 hand and i can tuck in my pockets ready for an emergency shot... :-) but i'm sooo happy that Io is very much my Ixus in a lot of Canon ways! but he's waaayyy better when it comes to taking photos at night or in poorly lighted places... it has this ISO3200 feature! which gives me a clear shot but still grainy...

It replaced Zeke now for my wet shoots... imagine having a color accent shot underwater!!! (i haven't done one yet but im excited!!)... but I miss Zeke's super burst shots.... he takes consecutive photos with split second interval! perfect for jumpshots or just taking motion photos... Canon point&shoots doesn't have that yet, although there's a multiple shot with Canon but the time lag is longer...

nevertheless, i am happy with my Io... am looking forward to a million photos with him!!!

When we think of bamboo, we usually think of Asia; but of all the 1,400 species, around 900 are tropical and 500 are temperate. North America has species of bamboos in the Eastern and Southeastern United States. There's even several species native to Australia.

differences

it is what's making us great together. :-)


One of the best things I've learned is that God does not bring people into my life so I can make them just like me. God wants us to be different. He's given us different personalities, different strengths, different hobbies and different looks. He's made us all different so we can sharpen one another and cause each other to rise up higher in life.

If you're going to be happy and enjoy your relationships, you've got to learn how to appreciate the differences and learn from the people in your life. If you don't focus on the right things, you'll end up allowing the little irritations to cause you to become resentful. Remember, nobody is perfect. If you're going to grow, you've got to be willing to overlook some things. Our assignment is not to fix people. Our assignment is to love people. Our assignment is to sharpen one another so we can move forward in the good plan God has prepared.
