It was supposed to be delivered Friday afternoon in my in-laws’ house but we had to go home and didn’t want the risk of the person who will deliver the package getting lost on the way to our home.

We went to get the gadget Friday around 8:30 pm but the store was already closed.

I was starting to be frustrated.

Saturday morning we sent an sms asking what time the store will open because I have a vacant schedule between 9 and 10am. They sent an sms back. 11am.

That can’t be! I am going to be extremely busy that time till 5pm and I don’t have time enough to tinker with it.

Hmph. Its as if it was not meant to be for me.

I sent another sms telling them I will cancel my order. So hubby and I started to look for that other seller in the net, that one who also lives nearby.

But, they called. Saying they are on their way to deliver my stuff.

Hooray! (If only I can put the Plurk banana dance here, I will) :D

Noon time, I sneaked a little time and I went to the third floor stairs and took this photo:

Then I tried to use the zoom button on the building hidden behind the trees.

I got this:

And still I tried to push the zoom button harder and got this:

Not bad for me.

Hmmm, I may get me an extension lens someday, after I have done a lot of work that will let me earn some moolah to do it, without spending what I earn from my real work.

Now, it was not just me who earned the money for this new camera. I also owe thanks to you, my supportive friends, real-life and virtual, for helping me keep the blog alive through your interactive comments and your links, of course.

I have a new gadget that makes taking photographs more fun and what more, I earned this through blogging :)

Which got me thinking, I still haven’t written a post about the other things that blogging has bought and paid for.

[...] I have written about my new camera in my other blog. When we got this new camera yesterday, I was so excited I sneaked a few minutes from work and took some photo which can be seen here. [...]

Woohoo! Congrats sa new gadget, Julie. That’s some powerful zoom. What camera is it? come on, don’t be too shy and modest. Flaunt your new toy. hehe

Seriously, I’m sure you will be taking more spectacular photos with this new camera. I look forward to them. :)

Chateau, nothing special naman, its a Canon Powershot. Can’t afford dslr paraphernalia so I settled with this cam.

Thanks for the encouragement, hiya naman ako :)

You said it right, Cess, “katas ng blogging” :D

Actually, I was thinking about writing what else blogging has bought and paid for.

That includes the new Nikon you got two months ago? Galing naman!

Yes, I plan to maximize the use of this camera in blogging too :)

Thanks, Geri, nothing fancy with this cam, its the zoom that I like.

Baka maging paparazzi ako :D

Feng, its 12x zoom. But can be stretched pa way beyond. I won’t be able to afford that lens kasi with a dslr that’s why I got this.

I also plan to write about that blogging bought and paid for but I haven’t yet, baka akala ng iba, nagyayabang :D

Thank you Wenchie.

Sinabi mo. Now the kids see the “fruits” of my tapping on the keyboard, they know when they say, “May work ako sa blog” and they would let me use the pc ;)
