all photos were taken with a Canon PowerShot A95
i miss having a point-and-shoot digital camera. i miss having my Canon PowerShot A95 with me most of the time. its portablilty lets you bring it anywhere and at anytime take photos of anything that catches my fancy. it’s the kind of photography i like doing–the anything goes, whatever works and whatever rocks my boat kind of photo image capturing. i also refer to it as snapshot photography as it’s quick and painless rather than lugging around my DSLR and assembling its glass, attaching the speedlight and tinkering the settings to get that perfect shot. this will not let me spontaneously take photos as it happens and when it happens.
through the years, more and more digital cameras have been coming out with nifty features that are readily available in higher-end digital cameras. with that, it’s not hard to get images that are close to those that are taken professionally. after all, it’s not the camera, it’s the one holding it. if i’m at liberty to spend i’d like the PowerShot A series or the G series of Canon. i’ve been with Canon since 2004 and they’ve pretty much lived up to their slogan, “Delighting You Always.” when i’d be able to get a new point-and-shoot? that would be the day.
endnote: my Canon PowerShot A95 served me well and was highly dependable. it’s unfortunate that it drowned during the september 2009 flooding together with my lomo lc-a. i only got to save my Nikon D90. 
this 2010, i want to…
…be able to blog more than last year.
…be able to have less cluttered thoughts when blogging. with that i came up with 2 new blogs– http://picturesandbox.wordpress.com and http://urbandenizen.wordpress.com.
…be able to take more photos and use my camera more often.
…start living on my own *yikes*.
…have a healthier lifestyle by eating more and responsibly.
…read more books.
…travel at least once this year.
…explore cooking.
to be continued as this list will expand further.
since it’s the 31st of december and with that the last day of the year, here’s my last blog entry for 2009.
photo essay: a day in the life– last day of 2009.
sometimes I just want to smash this thing to pieces but today I was glad to have waken up to a bright and sunny morning to start the end or the last day of 2009.
twitter-ing in bed before anything else is the first item on my list of to-do's.
I have been tidying things up in my room for the longest time. the lack of shelves prevent things from being in order.
a morning stroll at a quaint park in the heart of the bustling city as I kill time waiting.
food is food.
this is my last on foot entry for 2009 and with this I have a guest! :D
the journey back home was dreadful with the scorching heat.
julie & julia movie marathon at home. this is the last movie i saw for 2009.
I was dragged to the mall for some quick errands. Bribe me with food and I'm wiling to be your slave.
my last Starbucks coffee for 2009. a late afternoon of tall hot latte.
a tour of the kitchen revealed a chaotic atmosphere as food were being prepared for the new year festivities.
last touch is to blog all that transpired today and with that is the last photo in this photo essay of sorts.
so i came across this over the weekend and decided to download and install these free mac applications. they’re on their last four days of giving away six mac applications for free so go sign-up and start downloading. these applications are as follows:
- ShoveBox: easily capture important bits of information
- WriteRoom: distraction-free writing
- Twitterific: Twitter application
- TinyGrab: splendidly simple screenshot sharing
- Hordes of Orcs: some game
- Mariner Write: the easiest to use Mac word processor
but wait! there’s more. after getting all six applications, you can also download and install VirusBarrier X5, the free antivirus application bundled with the MacHeist nanoBundle. 
today sony announces their project to assist owners of sony products that got damaged during the recent flooding. thank you, sony.
