My New Camera: Panasonic Lumix LX5
The reasons why I chose this camera are: first, I love art and photography is a form of art therefore I need a camera to do photography; second, I love to keep memories and taking pictures means you can preserve those memories not just in your mind but tangibly; third is because even though I already have cameras, the cameras that I have are old already and I even broke the auto focus of one of my cameras therefore it's not that accurate anymore and is hard to control; fourth is because this camera is compact unlike DSLRs, I can still place it inside my pocket or bring it anywhere easily; fifth is because this camera's picture quality is almost the same as DSLRs (of course DSLRs are much higher in terms of quality) and lastly, because it looks cool!
You can search it up on the web. Just type in Panasonic Lumix LX5. It's predecessor, Panasonic Lumix LX3 is also popular and was the top and best selling compact or point and shoot camera since its release 3 years ago and I think even until now.
Oh and if you're wondering what the black string is for, it came with the box and I have no idea what it is for so I used it as a string to hold the lens cap because it is very annoying to always hold the cap after taking it off just to take pictures worrying you might lose it. Panasonic should have provided an optional lens cap holder or at least a better string.

Maxim's Tea House
Maxim's Tea House is one of the best local Chinese restaurants for me in terms of taste. Their food is like comfort food, not the fast food type, since it is not a fast food restaurant but still not a fine dining one. The style of the restaurant reminds me of the restaurants during the early 90's, not that modern, and so maybe that's the reason why I find their food comforting. They serve the food quite fast and the food really tastes great, like it's homemade. The price is reasonable especially that they have combo meals now on their menu. Their combo meal which starts at around 90 pesos is like a lauriat with the viand, a vegetable side dish, rice and an iced tea. I guarantee that if you like Chinese food, go for Maxim's Tea House. They serve noodles, congee, dimsum, almost any famous Chinese dish, name it, they have it.

Events that happened to me recently.
Besides the fact that I got sick, lots of things happened the last two months.
I was actually transferred to a different account in our company which means I was trained again for 3 weeks.
Made some new friends.
I went to the province to retrieve something that really should be mine.
Bought a new camera. :D
I climbed the highest peak in Luzon which is also the 2nd highest peak in our country and my dream mountain.
Went to Manila Ocean Park.
Had a sleepover with my friends whom I haven't seen for the past 7 years.
Had a what we call "weight gain" party during the sleepover.
Celebrated Valentine's day with my family.
Started practicing swimming. *I still do not know how except to float*
Watched the World Pyro Olympics twice.
Been working on some legal (money) matters.
Org just had a new batch of future mountaineers.
Got addicted to colognes.
I cannot remember the rest but these are what I can remember. I try to make the most out of my weekend.

Back again
And I thought I will be able to update my blog last month.
I had my yearly flu last January.
I actually got sick for like 3 weeks. I was not bedridden but I had colds and I coughed for like weeks.
I use my voice in my line of work so it made my cough worse. I even asked my supervisor if I can work on other stuff without using my voice because I felt like my throat will bleed anytime soon. They did let me give my voice a rest but when the calls started queuing like crazy, I still had to take in calls which prolonged my cough....
It took almost a month before my cough went away. I actually had a slight fever but I still went to work. I was the only one working on my shift but I did not care that no one will be taking in calls because I really felt sick that time so for like almost a week I went to the clinic to ask permission to take a 1 hour rest. Everyday I also bring my own medicine because the nurse at our office does not know anything about medicine. I am not exactly sure why she is there.. maybe she is just a pretend nurse... hehe.. I actually told her I have a fever so my body is aching and guess what medicine she gave me.... she actually gave me.... Ibuprofen..... instead of paracetamol. Good thing she did not give me Mefenamic acid. Last time she gave my colleague who had a fever and sore throat Erythromicin. I was like.... "WTH?"
Anyways, my cough went away after 1 month. I was even able to climb the highest peak in Luzon while coughing along the trail. hehe! I don't get sick that often but almost every year I get sick before, during or after my birthday I think because of the weather. Before I actually thought it was almost like a curse but then I realized that the weather during my birth month is cold that's why I usually get sick during that time of the year.
I hope I don't get sick anymore since Summer is already near and it means lots of traveling like going to the beach, sports activities, get together with friends etc. I am hoping that I get to update my blog again like before. I had been to lots of places, events, and restaurants that I want to share them all. If only I can just think and then the blog will be instantly posted here. hehe!
