Shopping for Digital Cameras

Mar 7th 2010greenbucksDigital World & Money Watch & Philippines & Visualizations

It is now officially summer in the country and I am sure a LOT of people are now canvassing stores, browsing websites and asking those “in the know” about the best digital cameras available in the market today, within their budget of course.

I know a lot of people would drool over DSLR, thinking these cameras would make them great photographers. Hmmm… ok, I joined a group in Facebook that says: “Hindi Porke’t May DSLR ka ay Photographer Ka Na” which roughly translates to “Not because you have a DLSR means you are a photographer”

LOL, bitter.

Photography is one of the “in” things these days, aside from running a marathon, blogging and playing Plants Versus Zombies 😀

Still as they say, it is NOT the camera that makes you a photographer, its the way you take photos that makes you one.

Me? I’m not a photographer and I won’t even pretend that I am. I am a hobbyist 🙂

Have you tried Taco Pizza? The Taco Pizza in the pic below is a part of four flavored pizza from Burgoo.

Not exactly my favorite restaurant nor do I frequent the place, it just happened that I have several food photos from this place.

We love tacos. I remember making tacos before but I did not use tacos shells. I used tortilla chips instead.

Hmmm… I better look for a recipe again so we can have this on weekend.

Recipe-hunting would be more fun than reading about humidifier filters even if the need for the latter is greater 😉

PNR, “pwede na rin” for PhP49.00 😀

Just have a glass of Coke nearby just in case you are not too fond of anything spicy.

Roses and Kisses Cake, a Red Ribbon Valentine’s Day Cake

Sugar roses (yes, these are edible!) and Hershey’s milk chocolate Kisses come together in a unique heart-shaped chocolate pound cake with chocolate fudge filling sprinkled with chocolate chips.

Hurry pre-order these Red Ribbon Roses and Kisses cakes.

These cakes will be made available on February 12 – 14, 2009. You can however pre-order beginning today until February 9, 2010 to have your loved one’s name on it.

Price: PhP330.00

A different idea: for those wanting to propose their love to their loved one can give this cake as a gift and a carrier of something else. Wouldn’t it be nice to see loose diamonds on a ring on top of the cake? 😀 Woot!

Mojos and Garlic Dip

Mojos and zesty garlic dip from Shakey’s.

An absolute favorite of the kids. I admit I like it too (with ketchup and chili sauce) if not for the “deep fried” part. Anything deep-fried is a no-no to me 🙁

This is a wonderful side dish as long as the slices are well done and crispy and not soggy.
