A Picture of Resilience

Taken at VMC, Victorias City

This is my entry to Techie She’s Lucky Blogger Weekly Giveaways Week No. 4. This week’s prize is one year free blog hosting sponsored by Belleverlasting of “Belleverlasting: My Small Blended Place in the World Wide Web”Aside from enjoying the privilege of my chosen profession (soon), top on the list is my passion to photography. Photography is something that can bring joy to me even in my rainy days. It brings out the creativity within and out speak your passion, style and definition through a desired master piece, genre and virtuoso. It's simply amazing how a single click of your finger can capture an image that will leave you a picture of your mood and passion and let me share it to my friends through the world wide web. It is also the web that drives me to crave of owning a camera, because it helps me appreciate the beauty of picture presented in the web.It's my biggest ambition to own a professional camera someday that will be my tool of fulfilling my dreams. It's been an integral part of our lives to leave memories of the past and something to look back in the near future.

So last March 2011, before I savor my special moment of my college life; my GRADUATION, I bought a canon digital camera to significantly take the bright color of my success. The PowerShot A495 is the new entry-level model in Canon’s extensive range of compact digital cameras. Priced at £119.99 / $129.99, the A495 features a 10 megapixel sensor, 3.3x optical zoom lens with a focal length of 37-122mm, DIGIC III image processing engine and a 2.5-inch LCD screen. Canon’s new Smart Auto mode automatically recognises shooting conditions from 18 different shooting scenes and applies the optimum picture settings required to get the perfect shot, while the A495 also boasts i-Contrast technology to help ensure that lighter and darker areas are captured in equal detail. Low Light, Super Vivid & Poster Effect scene modes make their debut, plus Face Detection, Motion Detection and Automatic Red-Eye Correction technologies are included. Powered by AA batteries and compatible with SDHC and SDXC memory cards, the Canon Powershot A495 is available in silver, red and blue. Thanks to the web for these information, though.

 

Somehow, though it's not a professional camera yet, it gives me now a joy and happiness.

Summer Days

There was a time when I'd spent most of my idle times soaking up under the glare of the summer sun. My friends ans I would go to the nearby beach and stayed there up until the sun would set. During the day, I'd enjoy splashing in the burning salty sea waves and savor the freedom of swimming as much as possible with friends. We'd usually spent half of the day staring off into the horizon as our ultimate past time and simply watch and talk the people frolic on the shore.

i miss having the time to do that. I miss wearing my floral beach short and my super tight speedo trunk (LOL). Don't get me wrong; I LOVE MY JOB. It's just that being younger afforded me the freedom to chill out and quench the hot- weather summer to the max.

Nowadays, when the going gets tough and hectic, escapades and getaways come last on the list. It's okay to ignore the benefits of the well-deserved summer breaks especially if you're working far from your friends and a regular 5-day a week schedule.

The thing is, being too immersed in our daily grind stunts, inhibits us from seeing the bigger picture. It eats up our enthusiasm and failed us to chill the stress out for a while. What's good about summer is that, it reminds us of the importance of a little pampering, some lazy time and a little reflection.

on that note, I implore you to take a full lung expiration and think of your vacation, it's not yet over for a summer escapade..you deserve it!

Finally Made it!

It started with first step and first glance at the facade of the tall, white-painted two-storey building facing south as if declining the rays of the sun in the east. It's going to be my school soon! I'd brought with me my high school report card, good moral certificate and entrance exam result. I joined the group of students forming a line in each department to where I am assigned to affix their signatures. My last stop; the registrar. This is it! This is really is it! I'm finally enrolled for college.

That was the start of my four years of hardships, struggles and perils as a student. Not a typical student though. I've been through all worries and anxieties..grades? not really! Financial? exactly! I've been through all uncertainties especially every enrollment. Question like; Can I enroll for the next semester?, Where I'll be getting money for my tuition? and the like.Though I have a scholarship, but that wasn't enough to suffice my studies.

But I believe that everything happens for a reason. What the reason then??

Sad but challenging..

Despite of all insufficiencies I emerged as a successful graduate. Last March 2011, I finally had my diploma, worn my toga and kiss goodbye to end all my sacrifices. It  was an overwhelming moment to march on the stage and hearing the people around you saying CONGRATULATIONS...! and I finally say "it's nice to Grow thick anodyne flowers, but it's nicer to watch out when it blooms, at the right perfect time.
