Life’s Lessons

For weeks we’ve got problem with Puto. He was scratching his ear as if it is so itchy but when I check it, there’s no flea or whatever that may have caused him discomfort. What pisses us is his loud cry as if he is really hurt or wanted to take off his ear at that instant. I found out that his ear is dirty. Yesterday, he was restless again so I checked on him and the back of his ear is already bleeding due to frequent scratching. I took some cotton buds to clean his ear but we had to fight before he lie down and behave so I could clean his ears. After a while, he won’t let me touch his ear and tried to bite me. He might have been hurt or it was really itchy. Since cleaning Puto’s ear is not 100% successful, I searched online for ways to clean a dog’s ear and found out I just need a pet ear’s cleaners. Will try to search for it from an oline dog supplies store for I am pretty sure it would be hard to get it in pet shops here unless we bring Puto to the pet groomer to have his ears cleaned.

I and Ace joined the Canon Image Nation Photo Safari conducted last Sunday at Gaisano Mall of Davao which was participated in by around 50 Canon users both amateurs and professionals. Actually, I am hesitant to join but Ace is so persistent so I gave in. The photo safari’s theme were only given before the event started and we had around 4 hours to shoot for the 4 different categories. Just imagine walking endlessly at the mall area looking for subjects that could fit in to the category given. Since we only have one camera, we took turns in getting a photo for our own entries. My feet really hurt for endless walking (the result of not having enough exercise) while Ace really enjoyed the activity. Read more… »

When Penchie (one of my HS classmate who’s influenced by my passion in photography) bought her Canon 450D, she got a one year insurance worth 40K for free! Though her cam’s worth is more than that insured amout, it’s still great for when her DSLR will be stolen (God forbid), she could at least receive something to buy another gear*lol*. In our case, our cam is not insured yet and if we upgrade or get other gears, we might as well consider having it insured so it would be helpful to check out for insurance quotes that’s being offered by non-life insurance companies. Who knows, we might need it soon.
