My Fisheye No. 2 White Knight Edition and my Lomography Ringflash are here! Yay!

Got them on February 4. My aunt and uncle brought it from the US. I ordered them at Amazon and had them delivered to my aunt’s house. I was supposed to buy it here in the Phil but it’s not available, even for ordering. Then I also tried the Lomography site but they only had the black one and they also didn’t have the ringflash. Finally, I tried Amazon and guess what! Both were on sale!!! At least 20% off each. I really hate paying using cc but I had to just to grab the great deal.

And now just a few pics to boast… :)

Now, I can’t wait to go to the beach this weekend to take some snaps. I’m also bringing my Holga so I can try it with the ringflash. I also loaded it with 2 35mm films. You’ll find out what I mean when it becomes successful. Also, I will be bringing the Oktomat too. The first the time I used it wasn’t successful, I didn’t realize I had to load it with an ASA 400 film. I just wasted 1 roll of slide film. But it’s okay… better luck next time. And I’m making sure of it! Haha!

Now, to figure out how to finish 3 rolls of film in the same sceneries in 5 days…

Very soon…

My cousin and my uncle went gaga over replica watches when they went on vacation here in the Philippines a couple of years ago, Rolex specifically. My uncle bought one for himself and my cousin bought two, one for her and one for her boyfriend. I’m not sure if the watches are still working but I’m pretty sure those are going to break easily. Next time they come here I’m going to suggest they buy from PerfectWatches.net.

They have replica rolex watches in any style you can think of. They also carry replicas of other famous brands. What’s nice is that their watches have the same high standards as the original so you don’t have to worry about it breaking down easily and feel like your money went to waste. They guarantee the best services with the best replica watches online. Go check them out!

In 1845, one of the great horologist of all time, by name Adolph Lange came up with a very special watch model known as the Sohne model of watch. He started this landmark project by establishing a watch company in the city of Saxony in Germany; where the original models are currently produced. But, the replica models are produced in the Swiss nation, where quality replica watches, such as A.Lange & Sohne replica, Breitling replica, Omega replica have continued to emerge. These replica models were made after the same technology and the features that are seen in the original models. They were manufactured as suitable option to ameliorate the hiking price of the original models. With this intention, they were made to be within the reach of the poor and the have-nots. At the same time, the quality for which the original models are known was not compromised in them. Thus, they are made with such robust technology as to offer their users the rare opportunity of enjoying a luxurious watch at a reasonable cost.

In the interior view of the watch lies the official insignia of the company, which is covered with a scratch proof glass made of the sapphire crystal element. This splendid outlook bestows the timepieces with such an enticing aesthetic beauty. Some of it models also has the inbuilt date system. A look at the sides shows the principal and the two additional dials. This particular feature is of an indispensable importance in steering the watches to accurate and optimum service.

Again, the mechanism is supported with the Japanese movement that gives it a robust frame and superb working functions. The automatic nature of the watches is guaranteed by the self-winding mechanism that put them to it. They are also powered with high water resistant and are very reliable.

Earlier today, my nephew and I took some baking lessons from my mom. She taught us how to bake her famous banana cake. We made two batches, one batch prepared by me, the second one by my nephew. We also threw in some impromptu carrot muffins. The recipe for the banana cake is a secret so I can only share  the photo.

Banana Cake

Looks yummy, don’t they? :D I like it with a little butter spread. Note: this is the only banana cake I eat. :)

The carrot muffins recipe I can share. Well, it’s actually carrot cake but we made muffins instead for the kids. It is Betty Crocker’s recipe and it’s supposed to have nuts and cream cheese frosting. We omitted the nuts because of the kids and we didn’t have cream cheese at the time so no frosting too, like what I said, it was impromptu. But it was still good! It’s so moist and not too sweet. Anyway, you can find the recipe and more info here.
