But the truth is, I haven’t slept yet. Since I couldn’t sleep, I busied myself reading about these things:
Despite knowing that none of these cameras will make me a better photographer unless I actually go out and shoot with them, there is a pleasure in reading technical specs and feature lists, hoping that maybe one day, I’ll be shooting with one of these things. Or maybe two.
Indulge me a little — who wouldn’t dream of shooting with the Nikon D3? It basically kills the yet to be sold Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III, which would’ve been a fine camera if only Nikon didn’t spoil the party. But if Nikon could make a full–frame body that can do 9 frames per second on their first try, what has Canon been doing all these years? The Canon EOS-40D though is a fine camera, and I want one, but the Nikon D300 seems so inviting feature–wise, and dare I say, looks more manly and rugged and ready for battle. Maybe I’m a closet Nikon fan after all.
You didn’t think this entry was just an excuse to promote my other blog, or did you?
But back to my attempt at sleeping. No lousy movie could get me to close my eyes, so I went coding. My sister suggested that we build a site for PRC board results, since their webserver seems to be moving at a snail’s pace when she tried checking, most likely because their IT staff felt it was technically sound to distribute the results in a PDF file when a zipped text file would’ve saved bandwidth and all that comes with it. Go figure. So anyway, I did build the site, containing results for the Nursing Board Exam last June 2007. Of course that’s not another promotion, mind you.
And now I feel like sleeping.

In the spirit of the langaw mentality (our local version of the echo chamber) that plague us pinoy bloggers these days, here’s my take on the issue now officially labeled as “The Kid Blogger Affair”:
…
…
…
And you though I was actually gonna write something? I couldn’t be bothered to update this blog or hack on iPAP but then expect me to provide a “deconstruction” of the issue as if it was showbiz chismis like the Manny Pacquiao/Ara Mina love affair or the now nasty ABS–CBN/Angel Locsin/GMA–7 word war? Not that I think the pinoy blogosphere is any different compared to pinoy showbiz these days, but I just won’t.
Simply because vaes9 got that covered (with well–selected excerpts you’d think he had all day for research and prepare his entry), and making saw–saw the issue is so jologs. Parang high school. Let’s talk about something else instead, like my love–life (?), or better yet, Eugene & Karla’s matters of the heart, but not because they shared a ride home after the Microtel dinner. But you didn’t hear that from me. 
We just need something worthwhile to talk about. Desperately.
(Eugene and Karla are such good sports that they simply ignore the teasing they get from me. Besides, if you two are offended I promise to buy each of you extra rice come biggest blogger party, aka “selling to the devil event.” :P)
I wasn’t drunk when I wrote this. Promise. And to contradict myself, whatever the truth maybe, it’s the kid who has more to lose, though none of it was his fault. Think about that. Live and let live. I guess we can all agree to disagree, right?

It’s not everyday I get to see a sky like this. The photo couldn’t do it justice.

But when the night is falling
And you cannot find the light
If you feel your dream is dying
Hold tight.
