Don't Walk Away

"Don't Walk Away, See I Just Can't Find the Right Words to Say... I Tried but All My Pain Gets in the Way... Tell Me What I Have to Do So You'll Stay... Should I Get Down on My Knees and Pray? How Can I Stop Losing You and How Can I Begin to Say... When There's Nothing Left to Do but Walk Away... I Close My Eyes, Just to try and See You Smile One More Time but its been So Long Now All I do is Cry. Can We Find Some Love to Take this Away... 'Cause the Pain Gets Stronger Everyday. How Can I Begin Again and How Am I to Understand? When There's Nothing Left to Do but Walk Away... See, and Why All My Dreams been Broken, I Don't Know Where We're Going, When Everything We Said and Been Done Now... Don't Let Go, I Don't Wanna Walk Away..."

-Michael Jackson

DPP - Digital Photographer Philippines on a High

Digital Photographer Philippines will be celebrating its 5th Anniversary Party on the 4th of June, Bonifacio High Street and I was invited (super glad about it) to attend by one of my TeamD3K's Chief and I am never gonna miss this event!

It'll be super cool raised to the nth power awesomeness! =) I will be going with my co-teammates and I promised myself that this is gonna be the start of me being active on my photography team. I felt that I a was not good enough before to be joining our EB's though I know that every members are welcome to attend, I somehow feel that I need to learn more. =)

I now feel much comfortable with some of the photography knowledge I know so I think I'm ready now and I have been wanting to meet my teammates. =D it'll be nice to spend time with them and have fun! I'm sure it'll be a blast!

So I can't wait for June 4th to come. =D

Mama Is Love

The greatest and the most perfect gift God can give us is our Mama. Their love is unconditional, pure, sweet and forever. Mama's are like the bandages that can heal our wounds from playing too much when we were just little kids, they're like sweet candies that gives warmth to our sweet toot h and they're like the best pillow we have when we feel sick.

My Mama is like a gummy bear, because I can have the sweetest and softest jellys that can make me smile when I am down. She is my strength, my serenity, my home, my guide and most of all, my Mama stands by me through and through.

She cooks the best Adobo in the whole wide world! She loves me and my brother and my papa for who we are and we LOVE HER too! =D

My Mama is my best partner in crime! because she always backs me up like every mom will. My Mama accepts me for being the most *tamad*, *maldita* and *sungitera* daughter that I am. =D

Mama's are even better than the best!

I Love You Ma! =D Thank you for everything. =D

Happy Mama's Day to All Mama's I Know! =)

Love,
-Cil =D

My Blurry Nikon D3000 Viewfinder's Epic Failure

Scenario: I asked Melvin to please set my Nikon D3000 (which I named Marley) on his tripod as I wanted to take a shot of the wine glasses on the bar of the Cong's Balay Restaurant and I didn't bring my pod because I am so darn lazy. =P Melvin set up my camera and when I asked him to take the shot for me because the pod was too high for my line of sight and I can't take a look at my view finder as I was not given a perfect 5'7 height, he suddenly and puzzledly blurted out:

Melvin: "Ces, why is it that your camera is a little blurry?" *puzzled expression on his face*
Me: "Huh? No, my viewfinder is just fine... try to focus it on something and it'll get clear" *now I am nervous*
Melvin: "Really, your camera is blurry"

Now Melvin asked my friend Jeck:

Melvin: "Jeck, try to take a look at Cecille's camera for yourself because maybe it's just my eyes that's unclear."
Cecille: "Hey, my camera is just fine!" *me hiding my confusion*
Jeck: "Okay, I'll take a look"

Then after Jeck took a look at my viewfinder:

Jeck: "Your camera is really blurred..." *I know, they are now both serious about this issue and I am very nervous*
Melvin: "Maybe you didn't adjust your diopter"
Jeck: "Yeah, maybe your diopter doesn't have the right setting" *me even more confused, I don't even know what a diopter is*
Me: "Huh? I don't even know what's a diopter, what is it anyway?" *looking from Melvin to Jeck and Jeck to Melvin*

Melvin then adjust something in the side of my viewfinder and take another look at my viewfinder:

Melvin: "There! It's now very clear!" *he is now about to laugh and I am now seeing myself looking like a stupid fool.*

Jeck took a look himself and:

Jeck: "Ces, now your camera is very clear!" *I know that look on Jeck's face he is definitely and 110 percent super mega over laughing inside!!! and I know he's just too kind to tell me:*

"Ces, You're really stupid!" =D

So, I take a look at my viewfinder... and guess what I said:

Me: "WOW!!!! It's sooooo SUUUUPPPPPEEERRRRR CLEAR!!! It's like I am looking through a magnifying glass!!!" *but what I'm trying to really say is looking through a microscope*

And I am not satisfied, I took a look again and gosh, it is really a 100 percent super clear! =D

Melvin: "Ces, read your manual" *I know he's mocking me already* =P

I really did read my manual, from the first page to the last but I never recalled ever reading about the Prince Charming Diopter... Really. =D

Melvin: "How where you able to take decent shots from before?"
Me: "Talent" =P

Hahaha! If not for the two of these men, I will never know that my Nikon D3000 (Marley) and my eyes can be enhanced and can even be better than my 20/20 vision eye sight! =D

Hahaha!!!!

That was the story of the Mysterious Blurry Nikon. =D
