Can you live without a mobile device?

I did an experiment once, tried not to use a phone for 3 days and I passed. I was in Singapore that time and there was no cell service since I didn't activate my roaming before I left the RP (which is a good thing). I can't communicate with friends and loved ones. There was still facebook though, but the day I reached Singapore I haven't opened facebook for the whole day since we thought that my Dad would get charged for using the internet during that time. But later learned that our internet access was free (learned that the next day).

For me, I can't really live without my mobile phone since it's the fastest way of communicating. Since we need everything in an instant these days, we changed the 'want to have one of those' to the 'need to have one'.

Like what they say, the only thing you can't change in this world is the word 'change'. That leaves me asking this question to you, can you live without your mobile device?

I'm not a writer

I'm just a person who is trying to express himself through words. I don't do writing, like those in publications and stuff. What I do is I just write everything that comes into my head. In some cases, things I saw, heard and experience.

There was this story I heard that news that are aired and printed are modified and reconstructed (in simple words, covering up the truth) just to make it interesting to people and draw their attention. That's why at times in getting news I prefer reading it in personal blogs or in Facebook where witnesses post what they saw. Not in organizations like news stations and big companies with ties with other corporations.

But I'm not saying that we should not trust them. What I'm just trying to say is people now should be careful of judging something from what they read or watch. They only give ideas, but those ideas in news reports are not enough to draw conclusions to the event.

There's this stand up comedian, Russel Peters, in one of his shows he talked about media trying to give a different view to people. Much like the bad side of them. That's why there is still racism all over the world. For example, in news you see these bombing and you hear people concluding already and telling you who did that even though it's still under investigation. I know most of you did experience that.

I just hope that the new media today could be more transparent and I also see lack of information given. Hopefully they will improve that.

Goodbye Photography

I've been in the photography industry for quite a while now. For almost almost 2 years actually. Taking photographs and being a photographer relieves me from stress and when you do your best it actually pays off. That's why I love taking photographs, especially if it inspires other people and if you get the message to them.

A month ago, I sold my D60 expecting to upgrade to a higher model. Then just a few days ago, something came up that decided not to upgrade. Right now I'm left with my 55-200 VR lens, and was told to sell it.

It feels really hard for me to let go of all photography gears that I have left, but if it's what they want then I can't do anything.

Before I got my D60, I have been waiting and praying for it for almost 2 years. Every month I was promised that I could get my D60 soon, for 2 years it has been like that. I missed a lot of events in my life that I would like to take pictures of and a lot of concepts in my mind that would inspire other people and hopefully would glorify God's name and share the good news to other people. Then it came when High School was almost over and there were no more events to shoot at. But then I still took it and enjoyed it.

This time I sold it so that I could help the family financially and was told that I would get a new one the next month. But that happened, so I couldn't do anything. I don't want to expect anymore since because of what happened to me before I got my D60.

Anyway, maybe this is also a sign that I should quit photography because I don't have any talent or skills in this anymore. So, Goodbye photography. :(

Posting from the iPod Touch

I can't find any app for the iPod touch so that I could post from here.

Currently, there is only a Wordpress app that i could find. Anyway, I will still be looking for applications.

A Laptop

I'm really considering of having my own personal laptop. I had mine before, but passed it on to my brother. I miss having my own personal space. I've been using a desktop for over a year now and I'm pretty tired of it since I have been only using it when I'm at home and most of the time I'm in school.

I really wanted to have one, a MacBook or a MacBook Pro (13 inches). I've been looking at sites, but the only place where it's cheaper is in Hong Kong which is a thousand miles away from here. I'm trying to save up for it, but unfortunately I can't save up since it's hard in my current situation.

If anybody of you who could help me, you can just contact me through comments.

Thanks!

Back to Zero

So I've started again, back to zero. I don't know where to start. It's been a long time since I've updated this blog of mine. Been busy with a lot of things. Right now, I'm starting to write so maybe some of the things I wrote, it may be a news or anything that I have in mind I'll share it here.

I'm just wondering why the new post editor here in Blogger is taking too long to load. I'm using the old post editor. Might then test it again tomorrow.
