Overwhelmed

Have you ever felt overwhelmed by your dreams? Like you want to do a lot of different things at once?

Well, that's exactly how I feel right now. I feel like I've so much I want to do that 24 hours in a day isn't enough. First off, I want to learn photography, may be join a class. In connection with that, I'd like to take a trip to different places and just take pictures - lots of pictures. A Digital SLR camera is already in the works and I may be getting that around the end of this year but that's not an essential. I have my S3 and I want to put that to good use first. I guess I've been bitten by the photography bug huh?

Second on my list is HipHop dance classes. I know, I know, it's quite far out but really, I'd like to try joining a class one of these days. Anyone know any classes?

Third on my list is kick boxing. It interests me because I'd realy love to lose these extra weight.

And last but not the least, is learn how to drive. Well, a car is in plan but not in the nearest future. But hey, it's not bad to learn while the car isnt here - isn't it?

tsk tsk, overwhelming wants. I don't even know if I need these lol!

Monday and Ilocos

It's another manic Monday! :) How was your weekend? I've nothing to show for my weekend except me and the husband watching the 6th season of 24. We've just begun watching Heroes too and may I say it's another one in the favorites. Just a few more days until our Ilocos trip and I am excited. Haven't been to Ilocos yet so we'll be visiting a lot of places and sites. Pagudpud, Vigan and lots more! Time to put the S3 IS to the test! :) Apart from visiting a new place, I am ecstatic at the prospect of finally using the S3. I don't use it often because I commute to work and it's quite bulky. Makes me think about the EOS 400D, how am I supposed to lugger it around? :( Hah! I'd find a way somehow.

The Next Big Thing

Note: This is not a paid post :)

I am no photography expert so this is not really a review but more of an exciting post of a new find.

It has been my long time dream to learn photography. I've been playing around with my camera recently but I am just at the very teeny tip of the photography iceberg. Such is my attraction to it that when I see good photography, (good for me means the colors and subjects are alive and the photos move me - that's just for me though, I know there are many other factors.) I get excited and happy. :)

We have a lot of good photogaphers here in the Philippines. Just visit any Bridal fair and you will have a hard time choosing. {I know I did 2 years ago :P) Today, there emerges a new breed of photographers that will really catch your eye.

The one that stood out to me is Metro Photography by Oly Ruiz. You should see his portfolio. This guy has a really great eye! The common things that we usually take forgranted, common expressions, common places, he turns into a photograph that you will cherish. The colors of his photographs are vibrant, alive and amazing!

I also like how he's good in capturing various aspects of life like people, food, pets etc. Some photographers sometimes have a certain expertise, like one is good in taking food pictures, some with kids and some with weddings and events, but not Oly. His shots transcends the normal and ordinary - all with amazing quality and vibrant colors!

I really think Metro Photography is the next big thing. Oly Ruiz is one hell of a photographer. I feel bad that I wasn't aware of his talent when we were planning for our wedding. Maybe on our 25th.

Visit his portfolio and see what I am talking about. Take note of the portraits he took, see how alive the eyes of his subjects are! Truly amazing!
