Camera

The first camera I ever used was a blue bar film camera which made grainy pictures. But it was a camera, nonetheless, and I was always excited to shoot anything with it, though I was more excited to be the subject of the shoot. Then came highschool, my aunt abroad sent me a solar powered film camera. It was really light but it did what it supposed to do. The pictures were better than grainy. And then my mom got a Canon Autoboy. The pictures were perfect! (at least at that time it was) I could almost see my pores in the photos. Well, almost. From then on, my mom and I got really serious with taking pictures that we even bought coffee table photo books and learned everything on our own. I was her model, and my mom prided in herself that she could take a more-than-decent shot. 

It's been a long time since my mom and I got crazy over taking pictures. But my longing to have a good camera didn't fade. I want to take up photography classes and hopefully invest in a good camera body and a couple of lenses. 
This is a Canon EOS Rebel XSi EF-S. I haven't really digested the specs and all but I have seen the end results and heard that this one's really good. It's tagged at $699, a mouthful really, and to say that I can't afford this is an understatement.
Now this what I call a dream. A 12 megapixel digital cam that can go underwater as deep as 10 meters. I can only imagine the things I can do with this and the places I can go with this.
This one's a real dream. When I was a kid, I could only wish for a Polaroid and now that I'm a grown up all I could ever do is still wish for a Polaroid. Hahaha. It's tagged at $200. I will get this as soon as I have saved money from oDesk.

If I had all these 3 cameras... The Polaroid will be used on spontaneous events, the D10 for my adventures and the DSLR for those planned shoots. I will, of course, also use them interchangeably. Hahaha! So much for fantasizing. 
How about you? What's your kind of camera? Hit me with your thoughts. Cheers!

Havaianas

Thursday night, 6pm, my mom's pad. My pair of black slim Havaianas got stolen. Yes. There were 3 pairs of slippers outside of my mom's door and mine was the one that got stolen. Who steals slippers anyways?? Today, I met with Mom and asked her if she saw anybody in her building wearing my slippers, she said no and laughed and told me she'll get me a new one. Oooo. I love it!

I know it's so unlikely of me to get something of this color combination. I am usually inclined to get things in black or gray, but my Mom encouraged me to try a new color. Well, I think my feet loves it. (I feel so shallow now) So much about slippers, I'll be writing another post. Cheers!
