Photography with the HTC HD7
Nov 3rd
I used to take a lot of photos when I was younger. But to tell you the truth, these days I haven’t been indulging in my old hobby so much. I would like to tell you that it has simply been the case that I haven’t been able to find the time, but actually, the reality is that I simply haven’t been prepared to make the effort. But with any luck, all that is about to change.
Yesterday, my brand new HTC HD7 was couriered to me. I was convinced to get myself one by this HTC HD7 review. And like nearly all smartphones, the HTC HD7 has an impressive camera.
At 5MP, the HTC HD7′s camera isn’t exactly going to blow away your digital SLR. But it is going to perform perfectly adequately nonetheless.
And let’s not forget, the camera on the HTC HD7 does have a big advantage over a digital SLR – you will have it with you everywhere you go.

He disappeared from Filipino movies for more than 20 years and yet when he came back to the scene he is still as firm and alluring. His teleserye today in ABS-CBN is “Guns and Roses” where he teamed up with Bea Alonzo.

His marriage to Mariel Rodriguez became a sensation a while back and still is being talked until today. Pinoy movies in the action category will not be without the name Robin Padilla in it. He is considered one of the hottest action stars in Tagalog movies of today. His charm remained untouched and his acting skill remained firm even after disappearing for long.
Not a Single Complaint
Oct 18th
If I were to ask you if there is any product that would satisfy everybody, would you be able to tell me yes? Well, I’m here to tell you that there is a product that satisfies everybody, and that is the Yamaha P155 (read Yamaha P155 review here).
The Yamaha P155 has literally gotten no complaints. You can look at piano forums, Amazon, Sweet Water, Musician’s Friend, Guitar Center, etc. You will not find a single complaint about it anywhere, and that’s because this digital piano delivers a quality that is far beyond its price. Sometimes, I think Yamaha made a mistake on the price tag because it’s just too cheap. It’s twice as good as any other digital piano at the same price. It’s no wonder that it’s the most popular digital piano for $1000.
Popularity doesn’t always mean that the product is good, but if that popularity comes with no complaints, then you know you got something special in your hands. The Yamaha P155 is something special.
Searching Online for Landscape Photographers
Oct 12th
Last week my friend told me he was having trouble finding landscape photographers on the Internet which was surprising to me because I thought there would be many websites around. So because I am an expert on using the Internet for finding information I decided to help out my friend. I’m not sure what my friend was doing but I was able to find many different websites on landscape photographers and this surprised me a great deal. There were so many different people that had lots of amazing pictures and portfolios on the website and I ended up spending the next few hours browsing through these portfolios. It really inspired me to want to travel again because of all the photographs of different countries and different cultures. It reminded me of the reason I enjoyed travelling and I think this little events is going to force me to book another holiday soon.
Lane Kim and Gilmore Girl Lessons
Oct 10th
I think that there are a lot of things that you can learn on the show Gilmore Girls. I think that one of the more poignant characters on the show is going to be Rory’s best friend Lane. She always seems to be wise beyond her years. I think this has a lot to do with how her mother has raised her to be so responsible and so respectful. She really does have a lot of love for her mom, even though her mother is very strict and really even monitors what she eats and what kind of music she listens to.
I would really like to contrast this between what happens between Lorelai and Lane’s moms. Both of them kind of have to take a stand. I think when Lane starts to have her own children she really sees how wise her mother was and she still wants to go in a different direction with her own parenting. However, when she finds that raising children is too much she still does turn to her mother for help.
Contrast this with Lorelai. She basically ran away from her mother. Even when it comes to how she should raise Rory she just totally freaked out when her mom agrees with her. She doesn’t really seem to respect her. I think it has to do with the fact that Lane knows that Mrs. Kim loves her and that’s why she is so strict, but Lorelai always just kind of doubts her mother’s loyalty to her and this is the difference in the situation that is really very similar. I really love how this show isn’t like the typical sitcom where all of the parents look quite inadequate. Instead, it really explores this other side of what happens when parents just don’t give their kids enough freedom or enough room to grow.

See Things Flat
Aug 21st
If you want to know how to draw, or just learn how to draw better, you can take this one simple tip and go a very long way. Drawing is basically taking a three-dimensional object (whatever you are drawing, also called your “subject”) and recreating it on a two dimensional piece of paper. This change from 3-D to 2-D is difficult, but you are adding another step in the challenge because you want your two dimensional drawing to look like it is a three dimensional thing.
Most of us look at the paper and the lines on it and try to make that look 3-D, but actually the easier thing to do is to see the subject as a two dimensional thing. In other words, you try to see it as flat. By seeing it flat you can see the shapes of the image better, and you can copy them better.
Three Benefits of Online Singing Lessons
Aug 5th
No matter where you are in the spectrum of singing, whether a beginner or seasoned pro, singing lessons are a good idea to help you hone the craft of singing. And I feel that online singing lessons are the way to go. Here are three reasons why:
1. Online singing lessons are far more cost effective. Whether or not you are on a budget, getting the most out of your money is always a good thing, especially in these economic times.
2. Online singing lessons are much more convenient. Scheduling is never a problem with online lessons. They are always there waiting for you. You could do them in the middle of the night, if it fits your schedule.
3. With Online singing lessons your sessions are videos (if the product is a good one), so your lessons are always there to go back and look at again for review.
Weekly Slumber Party
Jul 12th
When I was an exchange student in Japan, I asked my mom to get me a subscription for UK TV abroad. I told her that I will surely get homesick for the first month and want something to remind me of home. The next day she told me that she paid my subscription for my whole stay in Japan. When I got there, my Japanese classmates were really welcoming that homesickness was shoved on the back of my mind. I did get to use my subscription because each week, we organize a slumber party and we go to different houses everytime. When it was my turn to host the party, I borrowed the projector in school and set it up for my laptop. Since my Japanese friends were a big fan of international shows, my slumber party was a hit. It was all everybody talked about when we went back to school on Monday. From then on, we regularly have the slumber party at my house.

Waterproof Cameras in the Arctic
Jun 23rd
As you might expect, as with any other consumer electrical product, all waterproof cameras are not created equally. Choosing the best one very much depends on your needs, with cameras varying in terms of both depth ratings and the temperature that they can withstand.
It is not really a case of some waterproof cameras being bad and some being good (although inevitably quality can vary between models), the question is more how they are going to be used. If you are planning a trip to the Arctic, then you will need one capable of working in very low temperatures. However, if you just want your camera to be able to survive the odd rain storm, then you are going to have a much wider selection of models to chose from.
Before clicking that buy button, it is worth sitting down for ten minutes with a pen and paper, and just listing all the circumstances you think you would use a waterproof camera in. This will make selecting the most appropriate model that much easier.
The Ideal Digital Compact Camera
Jun 14th
I have several compact cameras which I use on and off depending on what I have to do. I also have a large family so I often get back home to find that one or more are temporarily out somewhere. I don’t mind except that I have one model in particular which is truly exceptional, in fact it is the ideal compact. It is the best compact digital cameras and although I have only had it for a few weeks now, it is probably the best compact in the world well, in my humble opinion anyway. I have rarely enjoyed taking pictures as much before as I do now. What I don’t enjoy is the fact that everyone else at home seems to think so too and thebest compact digital cameras is the first out of my collection to go missing. Even my wife has started to take photos now and she is a total novice with all things electronic. It really must be an ideal camera to convince her to try it out!
The Importance of Music PR in the Music Business
Jun 11th
Choosing the right music pr company can affect a musician’s chances of success. If you’re signed with a major label, you will be under the umbrella of the label and they will arrange for promotion of your album.
When pr is done right, it can push your newest song into the public consciousness and make it zoom up the charts. You might listen to the radio and shake your head at the sheer banality of certain popular artists. How on earth did they ever get to be so popular?
In all likelihood, the artist owes his or her success to an excellent promotion campaign. Most of the promotional activity goes on behind the scenes, hidden from the average music buyer. Networking is key in this business. If the pr person knows the right folks and has established relationships with reviewers and radio programmers, he can use his connections to get an album reviewed in major publications and played on major radio stations
Communicating to Your Baby Through Your Love for Singing
May 4th
Do you seem afraid of lullabies? Do you feel that it’s helpful for your baby not to hear a song from you even if you love singing? Anyhow, aside from your mother, not one will adore your singing voice more than your baby. Never mind if you get brushed off the stage of a karaoke club as long as your offspring believes that whatever you hum is a chart topper. Your baby has in fact been all ears to your voice for quite some time, even inside the womb. Thus, when she listens as you communicate your love for singing she is soothed by a recognizable voice. The baby not only doesn’t mind what you hum but also she doesn’t bother how you sing it. Don’t be worried if you don’t have a collection of common lullabies. The baby will just be contented to hear you belt out those old 80′s songs. What’s essential is you need to grow into the habit of singing to the baby.
Book Clubs Are Great
Apr 28th
I joined the Black Expressions book club. I was surprised to find there was such a thing. I’ve enjoyed having a sector that deals specifically with black authors and subject matter. I found it odd at first, but have enjoyed how easy it is to peruse my favorite authors and subjects within the group. Never did I think I’d be one to join a book club, but I must admit that I have really enjoyed being a part of this. I can’t wait to crack open my book every day. I suppose it’s like checking email for some people. I love going to the park and reading next to the lake. Sometimes I pack a small picnic. It is so relaxing during the week days especially, when most people are at work. I am lucky enough to have retired early, so I enjoy the afternoons the most. I love my book club.
