Life’s Lessons

Whew! I am almost halfway with my target. I hope to finish everything by tomorrow (I am crossing my fingers now). I am supposed to finish tonight if only I was not pre-occupied looking at online stores for photography gears and accessories. Yesterday, I already made up my mind to get a lens hood to prevent lens flare in my sunset and sunrise photos so I was looking for a good lens hood in the net. I and Ace wanted a petal lens hood but after searching for some reviews, I found out that the said lens hood will not work with our 18-55mm kit lens. Then I shifted on looking at the Canon-made lens hood but was in doubt if it will work with our lens at a wide angle setting. Will it not create vignetting? That’s what I still need to find out. With the limited suppliers here in Davao, the best choice to get gears and accessories at reasonably cheaper price is getting it at stores in Manila and the items will be shipped here.

I was off early because of abdominal cramps and I need to lay down so I asked Carol to sub for me during the last 3 hrs of my shift. Che2x was also home early. Yey! She will cook for our dinner. It also rained so hard so it’s a bit chilly. That helped me doze off easily. I wanted to sleep more but I need to get up and finish all pending tasks so that I could get some moolah for Che2x’s tuition and our camera gears.LOL.

Obsession in the DSLR is making me crazy that there’s no day I wouldn’t think of the lens, UV filters, bag, lens hood, memory card, battery, external flash, tripod…what else? I think I have mentioned everything. Weeks back,  I was planning to get a tripod from my earnings. Che2x’s tuition fee is just a portion of it so I have an extra for the tripod. But before I got hold of my money, Daddy texted me asking for some amount to pay for the piglets he got from my aunt.*pout*. He got 4 piglets and paid only 1 and asking me to pay for the 3 little pigs. Now I am torn between sending him the money or getting a tripod. I told Ace this morning that Daddy is asking if I was able to send the money and he said “tell Daddy you will send the money that you are supposedly spend for your birthday.” Waaaa…Ace doesn’t know that the money is for the tripod, not for my birthday. Per Che2x, will only send half of the total amount Daddy is asking. So I have until tomorrow to think and weigh things. My heart is into the tipod but my conscience is telling me to be a good daughter and set aside my wants.
