I’m celebrating my 28th birthday today! I would like to thank Ros, my wife, for throwing a simple yet wonderful party. Time flies so fast that 2 years from now, I will be on my 30’s. OMG! I’m really getting old

Canon Speedlite 430EX II

Months after I purchased my first ever DSLR, I was able to play with it and use it especially during family gatherings. I’ve noticed that in some occasions where I need to take pictures under low light, I wasn’t able to get the exact brightness I want even if using my camera’s built-in flash. Of course, there are other techniques to get more light like increasing ISO, exposure, etc.

That is why Ros and I decided to get an external flash and we picked Canon Speedlite 430EX II.

Its main features are:

Superior build quality, including a metal foot for added strength
Approx. 20% faster recycling time, compared to previous 430EX
One-touch, quick-lock mechanism for easy attaching/detaching flash from camera
Full flash control possible on camera menu, with compatible EOS Digital SLR cameras
Virtually silent flash recycle
Full swivel, 180° in either direction
Zoom flash head covers range of 24-105mm; maximum guide number 141 ft./43m at ISO 100

Need to start playing with it to better understand how it works

I just read an interesting blog post in TechCrunch. ABS-CBN paid a staggering $5 million for 5% stake in Multiply! Good buy for ABS-CBN since Multiply is so popular here in the Philippines.

Happy Halloween!

Batman The Dark Knight Quick Review

gani — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 09:39:00 +0000

Batman is breaking box office record on its first week. Why? Aside from the fact that it’s a Batman movie, much of the interest builds up from the shocking death of Heath Ledger who played the role of The Joker. Ros and I watched the movie yesterday. I’m sure some or many of you will disagree if I say that the movie is a bit boring. IMHO, the only good thing about this movie is Heath Ledger period. I will give it 3/5 rating.
