Daily, K. Wasabi, Music, Plugs: Some of the things I wish for :P (Comments Off)

Due to the recent Italianni’s stint, I updated my DA with food shots!

I’ll probably scrap some or most of them next time. *lol*

I was browsing my H&B thick-ass catalog and saw what I didn’t really wanna see… Just because these are things I deeply want, but can’t afford. ~_~ First — the HASSELBLAD H3D-39 (picture on the left). Features:
39 Megapixels
50MB Filesize
Large format 48×36mm
Uses H system lenses
FlexColor workflow
Hasselblad natural color solution
“Instant” user interface
Choice of viewfinders

The camera is worth $31,994.95. I saw this before in an issue of American Photography. Back then, this was $39,000. @_@;;; Second in my wish list that I think I’ll be able to buy once I start starving myself (har-har) is the HASSELBLAD 503CW. Specifications:
36.7mm x 36.7mm Square image sensor
ISO 50-400
1.5x Lens Factor (of Hasselblad 6×6)
Lossless Hasselblad 3FR raw capture
22MB file size
2.2″ OLED display
CF Card or tethered operation
Manual focus, leaf shutter SLR
Interchangeable film back
Hasselblad bayonet lens mount
Shutter speed range 1 to 1/500th second
Accepts standard mechanical cable releases

With all the things I want in life, these are one of those I don’t think I’ll be able to buy. I can buy a lot of things with how much these are worth. DX I wish I would be rich to the point I won’t have to budget my money.

Anyway, I haven’t been blogging lately because of PLURK. I blame that site because after posting almost everything I want to say there, I start to feel lazy to talk about them here. ^_^V I must stop that since I don’t want to waste paid hosting. XD; Other than PLURK, I also don’t have an internet connection at home. I’m in an computer shop now. How sad~ I miss the internet and I have so much to post. -_-

We didn’t go to the gig last Friday at One Luv. Our bassist, at the last minute, informed me that he won’t make it. He said he messaged me. I didn’t get any message from him in my primary phone. When I checked my (sometimes used) prepaid, that’s where I saw it. I was really pissed because, first, we spent a lot of time practicing for it considering that one of us isn’t on a break unlike my brother; second, it was Carol’s first time with us!!! (nakakahiya rin sa kanya); and, last, I don’t want to embarrass myself to the organizer. Those are the top reasons why. The gig was scheduled a week before. I knew and believed he wouldn’t make other commitments or appointments because, of course, it was already scheduled early. XP Also, because we hadn’t performed with a female vocalist in months, we had a hard time deciding on the songs. Sheesh~

We ended up drinking that Friday night as a ~~late~~ celebration for Peli’s birthday and for Carol as the band’s new vocalist. Fufufu~ Details will be posted next time. ^_^ Here is a picture linked from Carol’s Multiply.
