Using the Sony point and shoot, we took a picture of the three of us today as we had our lunch in Hot Rocks. This has become like our Sunday lunch habit. We are all so into it that even as we passed by the area yesterday fresh from the Mind Museum event, the little guy was practically begging us to have lunch there.

I know I haven’t exactly gotten the hang of basic photography but I cannot help but admire spectacular lightning photography images from the photography sites that I frequent. I used to love daytime photography, where exposure settings are easier to figure out. But it really is an inconvenience for me. Here’s one of my favorites from LightningPhotography.com -

When I took teaching units in Marikina Polytechnic College, my original plan was to follow the footsteps of my cousin in law, who then recently flew to the land of milk and honey with a good paying job. But the Lord has obviously something in mind for me and my family. He got us to meet NeilMaranan.com and ushered us to the world of blogging and how to make money out of it.

So much for what I said yesterday that I’m not driving around until all this election hullabaloo is over and done with. My dear mom and sister wanted to go to the mall and so we went. Albeit to the mall nearest our place. It was a relief that it was not that traffic. Today is the last day for campaigning for the May 11 elections.
