Like I’ve mentioned on my other blog (and other WS entry) how uneventful my weekend was because of the rain and cold weather, photographing outside was impossible, oh well, of course it was possible but I dare not risk my camera getting wet, so I was on a lookout for something to photograph. Then came along this centipede. I was on the way upstairs to get something when I almost screamed when this little creature came to view. My initial reaction was to splat it, but hey wait, I told myself, ‘ go get your camera first! ‘
On so I did. On the first shot I used my lensbaby and +14Diopter for close up. Lensbaby gives that blur effect around the chosen sweet spot. What a mean looking creature, isn’t it?
On this second photo, I just used my macro lens, no more periphery blur. For the centipede to keep still, I kept blowing soft air on it.
After the photo shoot? Well, he went straight down the drainage.

Ah, I can already feel my vacation, hurrah! With few more days to go, I’ll be flying back to motherland. But of course with this homecoming comes along habilin (or wishes) by the siblings and my tons of nephews and nieces, ugh! I often hear from my family (or rather read, because we chat) ‘pasalubong ko ha, huwag kalimutan?!‘ (or don’t forget my gift!) Younger sister wants a mobile phone and laptop (which she’ll be getting, both second hand) kids mobile phones (second hand they’ll get too) and another sister blemish acne cream which has to be ordered online, and since she has no credit card and I do, well she’s getting it (cream) too.
There are numerous ‘hilings’ but for now I am writing this batch down so that I will not forget. hah! It’s sure is expensive to go on a holiday *lol!*

Some parts of Middle East are fast becoming favorites among travelers. Middle East countries such as Egypt and Dubai are among those that many Europeans are visiting and I myself has been dreaming of visiting these countries as well. As a teenager, I have always been fascinated by the pyramids and to see them has been my greatest dream. I’ve heard great travel stories from a family friend who frequents Egypt whenever she gets the chance too, so the more that I am becoming interested to see the country. My friend has never been to Dubai (which is her next targeted country to visit), we’re thinking of visiting it together in the near future. Middle East travel is giving great travel ideas/package for anyone wishing to travel to Middle East.

Last Friday while working, I saw my friend Rose in Yahoo chat so I stopped working for a while to ask how she was and her dad. You see, she’s very very worried about her father whom she hadn’t seen for 10 years, he’s at the hospital fighting for his life. Rose lives in Florida and her dad in another state and I knew that Rose was at her father’s when I saw her online that day.
But it felt like my world also collapsed when she told me that a short moment before our chat, her dad passed away. She’s told me the whole story, how he seemed to just waited for her to be on his side. How then quickly went away, with tears in his eyes.
Rose my dear friend, be strong. I wrote this to tell you that you’re in my thoughts and that I share your pain. Hang in there my little sister.
