Snap Right Away!

-
The weariness that you feel when you get home gets a little bit relieved when somebody welcomes you home with some milliliters of canine saliva, thus we have a pet. Her name is Coke, she was a gift to my kids when they were depressed because of the death of our first puppy we named Sprite. As you may notice, we are a family of soda-loving people, hence the names of our pets. 

On a visit to the boss' house one day, we were also welcomed by their cute pup named Kyro. I just couldn't resist myself from taking a snap of this cute 1 month old doggie. 

The boss is in awe of the pup, that when Kyro first arrived, he had to fan Kyro because it is used to staying in an air-conditioned room. Knowing Gensan as the brownout capital of the country, Kyro whimpered and scampered because of the warm room he was kept in. And so the fanning went. 

But that's just one of the stories of Kyro. And that's just one of the stories I would like to tell you. What I really wanted to tell you is when you get a chance to see something beautiful or something nice, and you have a camera with you, snap right away. It always pays to document and capture the moment that you want. That's actually trying to make sure that you get to enjoy more about the present, which will eventually come as a past soon after the moment is captured. But what is best there is that you have captured a beautiful moment in your life, and you have your memory to live with it. 

I salute people who can carry their camera(s) and DSLRs with them each time they get a chance. I admire photographers who always carry with them their gadgets in order to snap right away when the moment calls for it. For me, that makes them wise people because they can feel the moment, capture them and make use of it to their advantage. 

I'm hoping to be like them, that is why I am speculating of buying a tablet phone which can be of use to me in my studies, as well as in getting pictures of experiences and moments I like to capture and live with. 

Bonuses have arrived, and some of them already gone, but I've been blessed this December, thank God. 

It may not be in the form of a promotion which I was aiming for, but I still thank God for the favors that He has bestowed upon my family. 2013 may not be really great for me and my family as we had a few clashes with fate, yet, my faith is strong that 2014 will be better. So I'm gonna decide soon, so I can snap away and take lots of beautiful pictures that 2014 and GOD will give me.

A camera or a tablet phone?

You know, I actually prefer a camera or a nice phone. I have an iPad but I rarely use it for taking photos. I use my phone both for photos and research. But, it's up to you. I hope for a better 2014 as well.

I don't have a tablet. I own a DSLR which I use for taking pics. But when that's not with me, my phone is perfectly okay to use.

@Kayni, My phone's kinda old and not good in taking photos, but I can still take pictures with it, however, it would be better when I can use the tablet in reading e-books, something which I cannot do on my phone, the screen is so small. Still, I'm just pondering on it. Hahaha.

@Photo Cache: We also have a DSLR, well, the husband does anyway. Hehe, my phone's photo resolution is somewhat lower than what others have, but I can still take pictures, not that good though.

i'd love to say "get the tablet!" but it's really awkward when you snap pictures with it! heheh. if you get a camera, you're missing out on the apps if you had a tablet with you.

compromise would be tha phablet/phonetab! :D galaxy mega might just do the trick for ya. ;)

Warning! Allergic Reactions Appear

And what would that be? You would surely ask that. Last week, I found myself scratching my legs because they are so itchy. There's this blotches in it wherein the skin looks like it has been stung by a bee, or a mosquito bite. I scratched it and whoa, it became wider. It was all over my legs, mostly near below the knee part. I was aghast at what has become of my legs, and thinking it was allergy from something, I bought myself Celestamine for the allergy. Celestamine is an anti-allergic medicine. However, this med will surely keep you drowsy. A few hours after I had the pill, the itch and the blotches were gone, leaving my legs some map-kind of red leftover from my scratches. And so i was happy. The following day, I had been watching my diet and the foods I eat, thinking the allergy came from the santol I had(though I ate none of it again), the blotches were again visible in my legs. This time, it spread through my arms, and my hands. I felt very itchy that I could only cry my e

Famous Cultural Landmark in Surallah, South Cotabato

We went to Lake Sebu last Saturday to celebrate my brother's 16th birthday, and while on our way to witness the majestic falls, we were already planning to drop by Surallah to check out their most famous cultural landmark, the round ball. I do not really know how it was named the Round Ball since it seems so redundant to be called as such but to question it, honestly, won't give you much intelligent answer as we also have round balls in Koronadal City and General Gantos City. Actually a rotunda, but ever since has been called the Round Ball. Unveiled last March 15, 2011, it’s towering, obelisk-like central piece of a 2-string lute points straight to heaven , silhouetted by the blue sky at more than 60 feet above the ground. Called he’galong by indigenous T’bolis, the slim lute seemingly grows from the core of a huge, endemic , bulb plant bohong, the elongated leaves of which spread out in radial fashion .

The First Ever Traditional B'laan Wedding Ritual I Witnessed

It was a beautiful Saturday morning when we visited Kinilis, in Polomolok. I was with Nanards and two visiting friends from Davao City, Emi, and her American husband, Joshua. They wanted to go see the kafe balos because it has been very famous now, and they wanted to invest into the business. Sir Fred mentioned there was a tribal wedding that very day so it was a fortunate day for us to witness something different, a customary tribal wedding rite. We went inside the house for they explained to us that the traditional B'laan wedding is being held inside the house of the bride where the couple has to sit on a mat and surrounded by relatives and witnesses. The bride was very beautiful that day, she was adorned with T'nalak inspired accessories, and her hair was placed with a beautiful headdress made of brass. Her hips was surrounded by a brass belt where hundreds of small bells were making noise each time she moves. And she was fully clothed in a colorful B'laan attire, and s
