birthdays and more

After months of not cooking, I got to cook last weekend. I cooked again the usual party staple in family/friends gathering..Lasagna. Hehhe.

I cooked a record breaking 4 hours! What. Why did I cook for 4 hours?? I didn’t notice the time too. I cooked 4 batches of lasagna for my sister’s dinner party at home. I was supposed to go to a friend’s house for dinner but I opted not to go..first, my sister needed all the help she could get from us and I was dead tired from all that cooking. Oh well.

I was also in a download frenzy last weekend. Hahaha. I downloaded new songs. I need a new ipod case too. Crap. My case is peeling like crazy.  Cheap ass case that my sister gave me. I like it though but well…it’s one overused gadget, time to retire the case.

My mom, auntie sister and J have been asking me what I want for my birthday…or my plans. Ooohh. I didn’t get to celebrate my silver (25th) last year unlike some friends who had a big bash since it’s another milestone (eeek oldness) for them/us. I am not thinking of having a party though.. (I might join the other february-march celebrants for a joint party though…hehehe). I still don’t have any idea what I want or what I want to do on my birthday..which falls on a weekday. I might take a 2 day leave hehehe.  I will cross the bridge when my birthday comes. =)

25+1! here I come!

new lens and birthdays

I am already done counting the days before Christmas and starting to count the days before my 26th (oh gawd) birthday. Since I didn’t get to have the cash (and guts) to get myself a gift for my silver anniversary, I might get a pretty nice gift for myself next year. I might get an EF 85mm F/1.8 USM lens. It’s not that expensive (teka teka..bago humirit…) compared to the other good telephoto lens in the market. It’s cheap-ER since it does not have an Image Stablizer. Not yet sure though. I am not into portraits and landscapes but I am interested in street/candid/no acting type of shots. Does that mean I need a faster lens? I guess. But for now, I am happy and contented with my kit lens and I need tons of practicing. I just hope J is still willing to be my test subject when I get to practice some more.

Speaking of birthdays…tomorrow is Nicole’s birthday! Nix! Where have you been hiding! Message me! or better yet…I’ll message you! =)
