focus!

I am starting to feel I made a mistake in changing my schedule. First, my body is starting to complain, sending up migraines to the brain every so often. Second, I don’t know why but I have been eating more than ever. Probably to compensate for the tiredness. I am starting to gain the extra pounds, visibly! I definitely need a diet pill that works. Third, and worst of all, I’ve been doing things half-baked.

So last night, I promised myself that whatever I am doing, I will concentrate doing it. Like if it’s quality time with my family, I will clear my mind off and turn off my laptop. If it’s work, I will **try** not to open my Firefox. If it’s my ME time, then, I can blog, dance or shoot some pictures.

skipping snacks

This week, I had the difficulty of choosing what to wear for office. Not that I have gazillions of clothes to choose from. It’s just none of my slacks could fit me. So I opted to wear skirts and dresses this week. Either I start fasting now, take some diet pills or buy a whole new wardrobe. The last option is the most fun thing to do. But I really don’t like myself feeling heavy and looking stuffed up in pictures. So I guess I need to go easy on my food intake, skip snacks perhaps?

one of the things I will miss

Today is our last day in our office. Tomorrow, we will start using the new office somewhere in McKinley Hills. (So can we be called as the girls from the hills? Hehehe)

So today, we are committed on buying our favorite, Red Mango at Megamall. We won’t have this easy on the new office. I wonder if they have that on Serendra, huh?

Hmm, but if this is really yogurt, why do I feel guilty after each cup? :p

what angels do on weekdays

The reason I bought the 50mm f1.8 also known as the nifty fifty was because, as an amateur, I want to achieve bokeh on my photos.

But what is bokeh. It is a Japanese term for the subjective aesthetic quality of out-of-focus areas of an image projected by a camera lens. If you notice that any shiny item on the background, once taken out of focus, becomes a little dot of light? That’s a scientific phenomena and it’s always a circle dot. Cool huh?

The above photo was not taken with my 50mm. I took this using my kit lens. So how do you take bokeh pictures with a kit lens?

1. Make sure your subject is very near.
2. Make your background very far.
3. Zoom in (more than 50mm).
4. Use a large aperture (reason why the nifty fifty does it great. aperture is f1.8)

Try it!
