I am in a situation right now that seems hopeless. My husband was in an accident and could not work for 3 months. He is back to work, but for less pay. We are up to our eyes in debt and tonight we ran out of oil for our furnace....

blue_star8 Hi dear. I know how that feels and I'd pray for you. I am from Asia (Manila, Philippines) and some people may consider it could be more bearable here because it's not so cold. I also lost a job contract recently (my last paycheck was Jan 31) because our global...

blue_star8 If you're single, you can schedule a day at the spa with your girlfriends (if you're a girl). If you're a single guy, maybe a stay-at-home party with your single buddies and play a fun game like Pictionary or Taboo. It also depends on your interest. For...

Hi everyone. I recently bought a Canon 400 D (Digital Rebel xti) kit and my next dream is to buy a nice lens for it. The lens that goes with the kit is ok but I like a better one. Which will you recommend for say, wide-angle lens?...

lenses for dlsrs

blue_star8 Thank you, whykay. I am interested in buying all of it but I can only buy one at a time. :) So I would probably prioritize a wide angle lens, at this time. Thank you!

blue_star8 Thanks, macxbebe! I'd keep that in mind. Yup, will see how this kit works and save up for a good lens later on. :) Happy clicking!

For photography enthusiasts, there is still a long-waging battle between Nikon SLR camers or Canon SLRs. Which do you think is best and why? I'd like to invest in a good SLR camera soon.

blue_star8 I think if budget is a concern, choose Canon because it's almost the same with Nikon but cheaper. Nikon seems to be ahead in terms of clarity but I think Canon does well, too, if you have a good lens. So if price is an issue, go get a Canon! :) Mine is.

blue_star8 I like it and trying to learn the ropes. I think it also teaches us about life - the need to look at the details so we can understand the full picture. We are all parts of a big universe and looking at and appreciating the smaller parts teaches us that we're...

I like traditional photography a lot more in some ways, but not in others. What do you prefer? The photograph which I have included is a picture taken using a Canon AE-1 - made in 1980, using a tripod and professional FujiChrome...

blue_star8 I also prefer traditional photography but nowadays, one can't seem to avoid using DLSRs because it's more practical, in a way. I still love film photography but I've noticed that it's less costlier to use DSLRs. For instance, with film photography, you buy...

blue_star8 Yes, I think we all are guilty of racism sometimes. But the good thing is that there are people like us who are conscious about it and take extra efforts to be more respectful of others who are not in the same race (or creed, gender, political belief, etc.). I...

Does anyone still make black and white photos? I find that shooting black and white takes a different eye. It's almost as if you have to see in shades of gray rather than color. I like the stories a black and white photo can...

blue_star8 Yes! My blog is even titled "Black & White Corner". I like B&W photogaphy because they have more depth and mystery. I've had a B&W exhibition of photos I took in Beijing, China and this is what I wrote in my invitation, "I would always feel its beauty lies in...

I'd love to have my own office. It'd be easier for me not to be disturbed. I think it'd be my own little private oaisis where I could retreat to work and maybe to relax. What about you?

blue_star8 I can understand your sentiment. Writing/working requires complete peace and quiet. Maybe you can convert part of your living room to a mini office? I used to have my study/office in my extra room here in my apartment but this new year, I brought my office...

tango

blue_star8 Yes, CDs can help but the best thing to do is really take formal lessons. You have to dance with a partner regularly. Tango is quite challenging because it needs precision and snappy turns and all and so it's better to perfect that timing when you're with...

blue_star8 I think so! Though it may not be necessarily be love, I think that initial "rush" can always lead to love. So what happened to you may be one of those moments. It could probably lead to love but perhaps, if it's really meant to be, you'd see her again...not...
