• Life is like photography. You use the negatives to develop. - Unknown
• Photography is the beauty of life, captured. - Tara Chisholm
• A good snapshot stops a moment from running away.  -Eudora Welty
• You don’t take a photograph, you make it.  -Ansel Adams
• We try to grab pieces of our lives as they speed past us. Photographs freeze those pieces and help us remember how we were. We don’t know these lost people but if you look around, you’ll find someone just like them. - Gene McSweeney
• Photographers deal in things which are continually vanishing and when they have vanished there is no contrivance on earth which can make them come back again. - Henri Cartier Bresson
• The virtue of the camera is not the power it has to transform the photographer into an artist, but the impulse it gives him to keep on looking. - Brooks Anderson
• After a few years, a photograph becomes the illusion of a moment in time.
• Photography is one of the most universal languages around, and you do not have to say a word.
• I always thought good photos were like good jokes. If you have to explain it, it just isn’t that good.
• A picture is worth a thousand words, but a thousand words cant describe a good picture.
• And if these pictures have anything important to say to future generations, it’s this: I was here. I existed. I was young, I was happy, and someone cared enough about me in this world to take my picture. - Sy Parrish, “One Hour Photo” (2002)
• The camera captures light, our minds capture images.
• If I could have put it into words I would have written it down. But I couldn’t, so I took a picture.

I have two baby birthday parties to attend this coming weekend. It’s the 1st birthday of the son of my best friend on Saturday, and on Sunday, it’s gonna be the birthday of my godson, the baby of my cousin. So now, I have to shop for baby gifts! I’m thinking I could give my godson a baby jogger stroller since he’s already 2 years old. It’s a perfect gift for him. And for my best friend’s son, I think I’m gonna give him a walker toy or push toy to tickle his fancy. I love kid birthday parties. It’s fun. Now if only I have my own kid to carry to these kids parties, that would be great too. Hehe.

I’ve written a post before about Mesothelioma, a form of cancer caused by repeated exposure to asbestos. Mesothelioma treatment involves a series of steps, but the disease is still difficult to treat. After years of treatment, there’s still no known cure for this type of cancer. But with recent technological advances, we can hope to bring about a cure for this disease finally. Although, prevention is always better than the cure.

My Brute is an online game where you get to create your own brute and you make it fight with other brutes in the arena. A friend of mine introduced this game to me today and it’s really quite interesting. Basically, you don’t have to do anything really, you just watch your brute fight another brute and wait to see who wins. It’s not gonna take up most of your time, because you only get to fight 3 times a day (6 times the first time you sign up).

Your brute gets to level up every time you win a fight, and even if you lose, you still gain 1 experience point. When you create your brute, you get a random weapon, or skill, or health points, and random stats too. So if you get a strong brute at start-up, lucky you. As a brute, you also get to recruit pupils and this in turn, adds to your experience. I’m just new at this, so I’m still learning. But if you guys want to check the game out, register as my pupil. On the resulting page, create your own brute and press validate. Try it guys, it’s fun!

Twitter is all the rage these days. It’s been a source of so many controversies today in Hollywood. WhoCelsbsTweet.com allows you to see what celebs are saying and who they’re saying it about. Are you aboard this hype too?

I love you for so many reasons
Big and small
And all of them are wonderful

I love you for all the special qualities
That makes you one of a kind…
The only one in the world for me.

I love you for the things you do
That bring such special meaning to my life
I love you for the silent times
When your eyes and arms tell me all I want to know

I love you
Just because I do

Because now
In the deepest part of my heart…
A place where there was nothing before
There is love.

Among the different states in the US, I’m particularly interested in California. I don’t why, really. But it seems like a really great place to live in. San Diego is the second largest city in California and the 8th largest city in the United States. If I were to go on a vacation there, I would probably stay in a posh San Diego hotel, roam the city for a day or two, then visit the tourist spots and take pictures of all its wonders. I would definitely have the time of my life even if I just had a week long vacation there. What about you, which state do you want to visit?

When it comes to our health, we can never be too careful. There are so many tips and advices out there that say a lot of things… this or that is good for the health, etc. There are all these types of cleanses, like colon cleansing, which they say is really good for our body. A lot of people are into it, some aren’t. But what do these cleanses really do to our body? Personally, I have no idea, since I haven’t tried any of it. But to those who have tried, and were satisfied by the results, they stand by what they’ve tried and tested to be effective. Hey, if it works for you, it works for you, right?

Acne has always been a struggle for a lot of people. If only there’s a treatment for acne that’s so effective and affordable that no one in this world will ever have to endure the negative effects of acne. To some, it may just be a shallow disease and unimportant compared to the other diseases in the world, but to those who are afflicted by it, they know all too well the negative impact of acne in one’s life. It doesn’t just affect the physical, it also affects the mental, emotional, and most importantly, the social.

Susan Boyle. Most of you probably know this woman by now, but for those who haven’t heard of her, she’s supposed to be the latest singing Web phenomenon after she wowed the judges and audience with her rendition of “I Dreamed A Dream” in Britain’s Got Talent. The first time I saw her video in YouTube, I was moved not only by her voice but also by her story. At first sight, you wouldn’t expect her to have an amazing voice, but like everyone else, the moment she opens her mouth to sing, you will be surprised. Even Simon Cowell can’t contain his admiration. The woman is really good! I got goosebumps listening to her sing. Watch her video, and see for yourself. For more of her beautiful voice, listen to this clip. Susan Boyle, you go girl!
