Okay, so I want to use the remaining hours of free computer and internet to the fullest. haha! So here are examples of what I am doing these past few hours. Ü

So there,haha. I know, they are just all childish 'doodlings'...but I felt especially attached to the first drawing. dunno why

Reading challege update: 17th book now done. Ü

here's one excited photographer: ME

haha..so, time has changed..hehe..Ever since mom let me borrow the family camera, I have been trying to capture moments, failed and took pictures of still objects instead, which is a very hard thing to do (note the sarcasm please...hehe).

But, earlier, I got this...

It's a bird, locally known as maya. It was perched on an electric line...Dunno if this is just a small thing for others..haha, but for me, it's quite big..hehe..being able to capture a bird's pic this way is something I have never done before..hehe.Ü

^^here's another of the models I found at the local store here. The cover says it's a cricket.^^

this one's a bit more complicated, though..if you look closely, you can see one of it's legs is bent in the wrong way..that's got to be my fault. haha.

two things in one

Thing # 1

Here's my life's new joy...this summer, at least. Ü I found this (the plane, not the book) at a local store and it only costs P30, about .6 of a dollar.

The design is pretty basic as the pieces already had wedges (?) and they were numbered in pairs so you already have a clue on how to put them together.

Some of the pieces were loose so I glued some of them ...too bad, the propeller had to be glued, too...so it wouldn't budge. It turned out so nice that my plans of giving it away to a younger cousin vanished as I looked at it completed for the first time. I know, selfish me, poor kid.

I have always been a fan of model figures, like ships, planes (like this) and others that are assembled, displayed but never played with. I have always wondered when I can afford them for I heard that they are pretty expensive. But with this? oh I am in cloud nine!

Hoping to get more designs, soon!

Thing # 2

It's the effect of the camera flash...I just think that it is awesome. Ü One can see the "illuminated" parts of the pics as well as the dark areas. Ü

Oh, another great thing about this was mom actually let to borrow the camera for the my blogging. She says that I can use it as long as i dont just leave it lying around...

Summer is turning pretty interesting. Ü

here's one frustrated photographer: ME

For all of my years, I was very much fascinated with seeing the world through the viewfinder. I delight at the sight of rare moments that are captured and developed, knowing that they will never be repeated..ever.

Unfortunately, as much as I want to make photography my hobby, I can't afford it! The camera, the developing...everything! I borrow mom's camera every now and then but that just wont do if I will make it as a hobby. I look longingly at the pics people post on their blogs...how I wish I can do that too...to have a whole post contained in just one pic.
