Catalytical Confidence

Just a thought...

Confidence is a catalyst of the human character. It enhances workmanship and skill and allows a person to express his/her opinion, views and emotions untainted by the fear of sarcastic feedback.

Some people have it at birth, others acquire it naturally from their environment, some acquire it through hardship and few never possess it.

Confidence is a worthy trait to have so don't take it lightly and try to gain it if you lack it.

But remember not to be over-confident, because humbleness is also a virtue.

Confidence must be softened by humbleness and the ability to accept other points of views. Balance these characteristics carefully because a tilt to either extreme may destroy both.

LOL, I sound like a preacher....was just thinking out loud...

Photo Frenzy

I can honestly say I'm now an official addict of photography. I'm legally obsessed with the world of still-image capturing. :D

It's quite distracting actually. I'm still learning to control its power over me. I'm getting the hang of it!!!

I was actually selected as "Best of 2008 Photography" by an online competition @ www.photolaureates.org. My picture will be published in a coffee-table anthology along with other privileged photographers. I have been selected as a finalist for the grand prize of $6500. I doubt I'll win that because the picture I took (which you can see below) is not really a winner. It was an experiment and it turned our quite colorful and crisp but it isn't really that strange or awesome enough to win, or so I hope not....hehe.

Here's the pic:



Now I dream of what I may be able to do if I had a DSLR and a flight to an exotic destination...:D

Cheers!

Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For the very first time, I played on a Wii and absolutely loved it. Its one hell of a revolutionary gaming console. It just needs better graphics and will be sure to occupy the majority of the market if no other vendor catches up with this technology which has been around for a while.

I played Wii sports; boxing, tennis and bowling. I also played Rockband which is utterly amazing. I'm best on the drums when things don't get to messy and offbeat...:D and singing believe it or not. I scored 100% on a couple of songs and was labeled "Serious Skill" numerous times with scores in the 90s.

My arm is aching from the tennis. I hit the ball so hard. Although the ball doesn't move that accurately relative to my stroke its enjoyable all the same. Its more like doing the right gesture that the console interprets as a stroke which in reality is nothing like it.

Can't wait to check out Zelda and the rest of the games...

Night Shots

I've always adored the night's sky. So here's a bunch of pix I took with long exposure. Note: you got to click on each pic to see the stars!!!!!!!!!!!!!
