Whoever in DOTC initiated the thought of free SMS is joking.Giving a text for free is just like riding a bus for free. But if ever this will happen, a great abuse is expected. Even your maid who's down in her quarter will text you "hi sir, gud am, musta na?" And we'd expect a higher call rates too.

Was wandering around the house this morning to find some interesting subjects but couldn't find any except these.There are some points that aren't focused, I'm aware of that, I hope to hone my skill on turning my focusing ring and get the sharpest shot. I like the accuracy of manual focus over the auto.

Going over through the pages I only found seven (whole page) adds- these adds are placed in the first few pages while the rest are tucked at the last pages, no adds in between each article, no centerfold.Pretty cool, well arranged, systematic magazine, unlike other magazines that the adds are fixed anywhere the editor wants andhttp://donmciij.blogspot.com/2008/05/imagphotography-latest.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Glendon M.)4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27901071.post-5993357293332023923Thu, 29 May 2008 14:52:00 +00002008-05-30T10:43:26.951+08:00I started blogging last 2006 with www(dot)i(dot)ph and blogspot with only two entries in each blog.
