The Dreamy Diana Lens.
Nov 29, 2009 Wishlist
It’s a lovely plastic lens that transforms your beloved hunk of metal and glass into a digital toy camera. Yesiree you can now get that lovable Lo-fi “technology” on your digi cam from Lomography’s series of Diana plastic cameras.
Dianas are known for their low saturation, soft surreal blurs, and unpredictable colors.
I have been having second thoughts on trying out lomography as I do not want to spend on a new camera. Plus I still prefer digital since it’s cheaper because I don’t need to develop rolls of film to see the output. Now Photojojo just released Dreamy Diana lens that will add a retro mode to DSLR. I am loving this one. But as always, I will have to think long and hard before I make a decision whether to buy it or not. Besides, I still need to get phentermine for my SIL, so I don’t think I have that much extra cash.
Camera Phone Filters.
Nov 29, 2009 Interesting
Morph your otherwise low-res snapshots into something of a spectacle with kaleidoscopes, wide angles, and starbursts. Each filter is outfitted with a re-usable gummy ring so you can use it over and over again.
I came across these fun jelly phone filters over at Photojojo. I saw similar jelly filters from Powerbooks.

We passed by Richwell Sale on our way to my IL’s this afternoon. I was able to grab 2 Hotwheels toys. One of them will be a Christmas gift for DS. On our way home, we checked out Toytown’s sale in Eastwood Mall. The store was big enough, though we weren’t able to get a lot of toys save for a few Dora & Diego cars and some Tomy cars. They also have some discounted Christmas decors, gift tags and even holiday photo cards. Anyway, the Tomy cars were great deals as I only got each for 100 pesos, original price is 399 pesos. What’s nice about them is they accept CC payments. The Tomy cars will be perfect for the Tomy set that I plan to get him for Christmas.

Deck The Halls.
Nov 24, 2009 Everyday
We put out the decorations last week and we finally started preparing the house for Christmas. We are almost done since we didn’t put much decors out. All that is left to do is wrap the gifts and place them under the tree. And oh, I do need to look for the best appetite suppressant out there as I know there will be lots of eating this season. Maybe we will get a big lantern to hang outside. I hope we find one that isn’t too pricey.
Great Photoshop Actions.

I have been coming across several free Photoshop actions, as well as Lightroom presets. I have been itching to try them out. If only I could find the time to experiment. Maybe after I am done with my search for an affordable Medicare supplement insurance plan, I can have some free time on my hands.
Anyway, I stumbled upon these really nice Photoshop actions from Theroxor.

Workspace.
Nov 23, 2009 Etc.
I love this pretty work space. If only I can keep my little space as pretty and neat as this. Mine is most of the time cluttered with pieces of papers - mostly a list of to-do’s like the search for Oklahoma City lawyers for my cousin, projects for the house and more. I also have notebooks, pens and other knick-knacks in there. As small as it is, I can’t seem to keep it tidy. Anyway, I am planning to get a lamp and little plant for my desk soon. Hopefully, it will make my work area a little nicer.
