My new toy: the Hipstamatic iPhone application. I feel like I acquired a beautiful, new camera for roughly the amount I spend for a meal. In McDonalds. 
I took it for a test drive, if you will, today. Pictures after the jump.
If there’s one thing that fascinates me about the human race, it’s our innate tendency to break the rules.

The most historic elections in our country has passed. The question is, what happens now? After all the excitement and fears over the automated counting, massive campaigns and everything in-between, where do the Filipino people find themselves? How far can a new administration take us?

I’ve been ogling Carlo’s iPad since he got it. Who wouldn’t? It’s sleek, absolutely sexy, and a hundred times more fun to carry around than a laptop. It took me a while to add “useful” into the list of descriptions I had for the iPad though. For a time it seemed more “fun” than anything else. In fact, my favorite application (app) was just that–fun!

While I was having dinner with my friends yesterday, flitting from one corner of the table to the next taking pictures, I realized something. Looking at my shots, I recognized an instinct to crop out all the “noise” in the environment before taking the picture. I suppose it’s because I thought it’d save me the time and effort of editing the image afterwards, since cropping does take a good percentage of the time I would have spent uploading the shots already. And so I contemplated a bit on the so-called “tight” shots.
