Day 82: Partially Retiring

Not much imagination, but today I'd like to pay homage to what made me survive the first 76 days of this project - my phone.  I have this habit of giving my inanimate object names.  This is Eight.  I called it so because it's a Nokia N82, and I've probably dropped it at least eight times since I got it. 

Eight has served me well, though.  I am not officially retiring him.  I cannot really lug Nino around everyday, you know.  I'm just probably going to focus on using Eight for other things.  Like, I don't know, being a phone maybe?

Day 76: Nino

So, guess who got herself a spankin' new toy to play with? 

Meet Nino.  My new baby. :)

Let's now start taking a Picture of You (Boyzone).

Day 67: Blue Sky Dreaming

There's a lot of things I'm anticipating recently.  One, it's almost summer!  Despite the weather being completely unpredictable the last couple of weeks, I can stilll smell summer approaching.  The heat is beginning to get scalding, and the skies are getting bluer.  At least, from this vantage point it does.  I've learned to love summer because, other than the Christmas season, I think this season defines my country's beauty best.

Two, I'm closer to getting myself a real camera (misty eyes).  I love my N82 to bits and pieces, but I am definitely looking forward to playing with an actual lens again.  And yes, play.  I'm an enthusiast, not a professional.  In all those times I have taken random photos, I have really just been playing.  I have no real intent of going pro.  I only want to take pictures that I want to see. 

Three, I just found out that Cirque du Soleil is coming to Manila.  Oh.  My.  God....  That's a blue-sky dream, right there.  I have always wanted to see 'O' at the Bellagio, but Vegas is too far away.  When I was in Macau, I regret not being able to book tickets to see 'Zaia'.  My friends who've seen it say it isn't as good as the Canadian and Vegas Cirque du Soleil shows, but this is still CIRQUE DU SOLEIL we're talking about!  This is like the greatest performing acrobatic troupe in the world today!  So, finding out that they're bringing the grand chapiteau to Rizal Park in June is just plain phenomenal! (Insert more superlatives)

There are simply so many things to look forward to.  All of them just in time for the First of Summer (Urbandub).
