CANON 450D ( DSLR ENTRY LEVEL)

Here is Canon's entry level dslr. I do have friends and officemates that have Canon dslr's and was fortunate enough to try them out. And although I personally own a Nikon dslr (D3000), I do have a Canon IXY 25 IS for a Digital Camera. So, I do have the best of both worlds with those cameras. But again, I always suggest to find the camera that fits you base on its features or specifications. I hope videos like this one could help you choice your first dslr.

NIKON D3000 (ENTRY LEVEL DSLR)

Here is Nikon's DSLR Entry Level Camera. This dslr is for those who are starting or beginners in photography. I person own one however, I would recommend that you search the best possible dslr that fits you. Canon, Pentax, and Olympus has entry level dslr that you might find more suitable for you. Features are the most important thing to consider in choosing your dslr. You might want to consider the warranty and service center or after-sales service that particular brand is offering. I will be posting videos of other brands to help you pick your very first dslr.

THE POWER OF FAITH

Good day!!!! Here's another uplifting song to inspire you. Like everyone else, we all have dreams, the only difference is how focused and determined we are to pursue those dreams and make them a reality. Keep on dreaming and mostly importantly, BELIEVE.

I BELIEVE
Singer: Fantasia Barrino

Have you ever reached a rainbow's end
And did you find your pot of gold
Ever catch a shooting star
And tell me how high did you soar
Ever felt like you were dreaming
Just to find that you're awake
And the magic that surrounds you
Can lift you up and guide you on your way

[Chorus:]
I can see it in the stars across the sky
Dreamed a hundred thousand dreams before
Now I finally realize
You see I've waited all my life for this moment to arrive
And finally, I believe

When you look out in the distance
You see it never was that far
Ohhh No
Heaven knows your existance
And leads you to be everything you are
Ohhh
There's a time for every soul to fly
It's in the eyes of every child
It's the hope, the love that saves the world
And, ohhh, we should never let it go

[Chorus]

I believe in the impossible
If I reach deep within my heart
Overcome any obstacle
Won't let this dream fall apart
See I strive to be the very best
Shine my light for all to see
Cause anything is possible
When you believe yeah

[Chorus]

Ohh Yeah

Love keeps liftin me higher
Liftin me higher
Love keeps liftin me higher
I said love keeps liften
Love keeps liften me
I said Love keeps liften
Love keeps liften me higher
Said love keeps liften me higher
I said love keeps liften me high

A VIEW OF MAKATI CITY, PHILIPPINES

Whenever I have the time, I like to take pictures of various subjects. I love to bring along my digicam or dslr and take pictures of certain landscape, happening or people. Here are some pictures I took with my digital camera ( CANON IXY 25 IS) of the beautiful business district of MAKATI CITY, PHILIPPINES.

This is a shot I took at V.A. Rufino Street (formerly known as Herrera Street) corner Ayala Avenue which is the main road in Makati City. Almost all of the big buildings are located here in Ayala Avenue and is considered as the heart of the business district here in the Philippines.

Another picture I took was Dela Rosa Street which is parallel to Ayala Avenue. It here some of the oldest buildings dating back to the 1970’s and 1980’s are located. That is why when you by the streets of Ayala Avenue and Dela Rosa Street which are a few steps apart, you will definitely see a contrast in designs of the buildings. It is like time travel from the present time going back to the 1970’s and 1980’s.

This is a picture I took at a park located at the centre of the business district and is also where a lot of middle to high rise condominium buildings are sited. Nice thing about this particular location is that you can experience the fast life of the business district and at the same time enjoy a peaceful walk or jog at the park or just simple retreat to your condominium right around the corner from your office to get ready for the next day of business life.

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES

It is nice to greet a new day with something that would inspire me and give me a positive attitude. They say that positive thinking attracts positive vibes. That is why I always start my day reading inspirational or motivational stories and quotes. I would also try to avoid reading and watching the daily news (coz most news are negative). I would really suggest that find inspirational quotes, as a start, to begin your day so that you will carry the positive message that quote is trying to convey and empower you for the rest of the day. Here's one I would like to share with you right now.

Lord, are you trying to tell me something?
For...

Failure does not mean I'm a failure;
It does mean I have not yet succeeded.

Failure does not mean I have accomplished nothing;
It does mean I have learned something.

Failure does not mean I have been a fool;
It does mean I had enough faith to experiment.

Failure does not mean I have disgraced;
It does mean I have dared to try.

Failure does not mean I don't have it;
It does mean I have something to do in a different way.

Failure does not mean I am inferior;
It does mean I am not perfect.

Failure does not mean I have wasted my life;
It does mean that I have an excuse to start over.

Failure does not mean that I should give up;
It does mean that I should try harder.

Failure does not mean that I will never make it;
It does mean that I need more practice.

Failure does not mean that you have abandoned me;
It does mean that you must have a better idea.

A Must See Place

Pretty morbid title huh?! Well, I just want to pressure myself to always aim or aspire the best things in life. 'Coz I believe that it is a very effective way of motivating oneself. After all, the best things in life always are given to those who pursue them.

One of the most beautiful places that I have dreamed of going to is Santorini in Greece.

Santorini is a small circular archipelago of volcanic islands located in the southern Aegean Sea. The island name comes from ‘Santa Irini’ and it is officially called Thera. It is considered as one of the most popular destinations of Greece and is known as the home of one of the most spectacular landscapes in the world.

You can’t help but admire the beautiful houses of the traditional villages of the Cyclades that surround the Caldera or the Volcano’s Crater which is situated in the middle of a 32 square miles basin of water (that's a lot of water). The houses that are all painted in white, are magnificently contrasted with blue roofs and windows that give the island a picturesque landscape that would leave anyone breathless. Just imagine yourself looking like Brad Pitt and being Achilles!!!

It is recommended that while residing in Santorini, you should visit Ancient Thira in Mesa Vouno meaning ‘the inside mountain’, the archaeological space of Akrotiri, the Archaeological and Folklore museums of the island. Santorini is famous for its vineyards and the varieties of wine; therefore you should also visit the museum of wine, while, simultaneously, you may sample wines, making sure to taste the ‘Visanto’. On top of these sites, sailing, scuba diving, going to restuarants (Greeks are know as excellent cooks) and the night life are some of the activities you might also like to consider.

As early as now, I have been searching at travel sites looking for great deals for plane tickets and accommodation for that dream trip to Santorini (nothing wrong to plan ahead for a trip scheduled 10 years from now).

Definitely one of the most beautiful landscapes to behold. Just the thought of going there fills me with energy, boost me up to strive even harder, to attract more positive things, to be in focus of my plans and goals, to be inspired.

So guys, see you in Santorini in a couple of years!!!!!!
