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! =)

the greek-jap weekend.

I have this ultimate love for Japanese food.  Had dinner over at Omakase last Sunday with the siblings and mom. “Ang sarap ng libre”. I love having dinner with my siblings plus the fact that we don’t have this chance as often as we could, I enjoyed every minute of it over fusion maki food. =) Greek food may be for some people but I know it isn’t for me. I am not a fan but I could eat Greek food once in like 10 years or so. I am a huge fan of garbanzos on my food but their garlic sauce is really something else. My brother loved the kebabs he had with rice pilaf =) I better start using my Canon again but I have yet to admit (the pictures in here), Nikon cameras really do give that certain “pop” in the images in terms of color. But I still love my 450D nonetheless. Need to have a new lens too and maybe an external flash to cap off the camera wishlist that I have yet to take note of.
