Krisan's Photobook Project

Speaking of photos, something arrived in the mail the other day...

aNow I have two. When my first book arrived, I was too excited to see it so I forgot to take a photo. I only remembered after I ripped the package. Hehe!

I planned to create an album for the hundreds of photos that I have stored in my laptop, but I didn't want to just put them in a cheesy designed off-the-rack album. Sayang naman that my husband bought me a dSLR if I will just keep the photos in the computer. So I searched online for a photobook supplier in Bangkok and I found Photobook Thailand.

Everything is done online so you don't need to transact with anyone. Given the language barrier here in BKK, this was my primary concern. Baka hindi kami magkaintindihan at iba yung lumabas sa photobook at sayang lang yung bayad ko! What I love about this site is you do the layout yourself. You just need to download the software, and it's super easy to use! Parang you're using Windows Movie Maker lang. When you're done with your photobook, you just send the file to them, pay thru credit card, then they will mail it to you in a few days.

I just wish I knew about Picnik before I ordered them para mas may arte ang pictures. Oh well, next time then. By the way, one photobook has a minimum of 40 pages, and it should cost you around Thb1,400. Oh, and they ship to the Philippines too! For free I think.

I will bring my photobooks when we come home so I can share them with you :)

Ang Pagbabalik

Isang tulog na lang nandito na ulit si Richard!

So ano ba ang ginawa ko this week aside from the usual household chores like laba, luto and plantsa?

For starters, I blogged, then I blogged, and I blogged again. Obvious ba from the number of entries that I posted starting Monday? I like blogging because it keeps my mind off things. It's my outlet.

I also discovered a lot of new blogsites (which I love sharing with my online buddy, Fides) thru Our Awesome Planet. My favorite so far is Francis M's multiply site, A Free Mind, where he posts some of his amazing photos. Hindi ko alam na he's into photography pala at ang galing nya! Na-inspire tuloy ako. Which leads us to the next item...

I tried reading my camera's manual so I can play around with the different functions. I have yet to finish the entire manual.

Akala ko I can make it through the entire week without going to the mall, but after being locked up inside the house for three days, I decided to go out today and do some shopping. Truth be told, I'm so inggit at my husband for being able to have dinner with our friends back in Manila -- even with my mom and dad! So I said to myself, it's no use sulking at home; Yan and I should also go out and have fun. So I called up the driver and asked him to pick us up today and bring us to Central Chidlom. Ang ganda naman talaga ng timing namin because they were having a crazy sale -- 50-90% off on selected items! Ang saya saya!

But more on that tomorrow. Right now I have to go to bed.
