Me?

Eat. Shoot. Love.

The show is beautiful. Its refreshing and I’m going to do it! Not for a year to exotic places like in the show. Not that I’ll have the money nor courage to. But I am going to do it. Not alone. But with the man I love.

Everyday we wake up to this battle we fight to survive. We eat, work, sleep and sometime (once in a blue moon) gets some love. We face our low and very low. But each time we fight harder and we get stronger. (“Ruined is the beginning of transformation…“) But we forget ourselves. Who we are and what we want in our lives.

I was taught before to always take care of our PIES – Physical, Intellectual, Emotion and Spiritual self. All through my almost 30 years of life, I’ve never done either of these 100%. Never possible.

Few days come December, I’m going to try to do it, at least the PIE. No planning, no schedule, no INTERNET (very important!) and no thinking of work. I’m going to fly away with my love, and enjoy ourselves. I wished for longer getaways, but the battle we fight waits for no one. It just has to go on. Hiding it or running away from it for a couple of days is surely possibly.

We’re going to Eat. Shoot. Love.

And when we’re back? It’ll be Eat. Work. and more Work. Then of course, there’s the wedding to plan.

One day, I woke up and decided I shall have Sashimi for lunch. Instead, I had Sashimi for both lunch and dinner! It was a day of Sashimi Overload! Still failed to find fresher and juicier sashimi than those I had at Standing Sushi Bar at 8 Queen Street.

First stop was at Standing Sushi Bar at 1 Raffles Place, their first outlet. Though its still good, but I felt that the salmon sashimi was not as great as compared to those I had at 8Q. Perhaps its the quality of shipment that day? Still it was a good lunch, standing. :P

Whoever’s going to or coming back from Tokyo, you gotta bring back some of these yummilicious snacks for your friends! I’ve checked and these are not available in Singapore. Well at least not the real deal. Tried the similar kind, but nothing beats the real deal from Tokyo.

Finally I tried the new movie trailer feature on the iMovie’11. It took a little more time than I’d expected to create, due to the lack of clips but I still got it completed within minutes. It’s really very cool and simple to create attractive clips. My first clip is dedicated to HP Singapore‘s 40th Anniversary & Christmas Party. See if you catch yourself or someone you know from it…

This Christmas, if given the time and opportunity to, I would love to AMP (amplify) someone’s Christmas with a personal session of photo shoot with me! I promise to capture great shots of him/her or a lovely couple and they’ll get to keep the photos in digital and view them in a lovely album made just for them from me. Yap! That’s how I would like to AMP my Christmas. Who’s up to get AMP-ed by me? :P

Life’s not going to be the same (I hope) since I met Sol. Lesser shots with the iPhone 4, more shots with Sol. That’ll also means more photo posts with short blurbs here on this blog. Sorry if my mundane life bores you. Well this is me.

I am sooooo pissed!!! Cleared up the photos in my hdd to make space for more photos so I removed all albums from iPhoto. Not knowing that the flickr albums when deleted from iPhoto also means deleting from flickr, I removed it. And now I have NO way to get it back!

I’ve got too many of these showing on my blog now!! THIS IS DEPRESSING!!!

I do have all the original photos still in my backups but the pain is not the uploading part! Imagine going through all my blog posts to embed all the photos again!! I won’t even know which photos were used lah! This is the GREATEST FAIL in my digital life! I HATE YOU iPHOTO!!!!

I’m never going to sync iPhoto to flickr ever again! No matter how great your integration is going to be.

Hi! I’m the blog.

Claudia the Panda is busy and has not been updating me as regularly as before. And I’m sad.

Two years ago, she would share her adventures with me the very same night; or sometimes almost instantly as the event unfolds as she live blog. When she does that, I get many hits and link love. I was loving every moment of it then. But now, I get hit and missed almost as fast as you can read “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious”.

I sensed that many of my relatives are having the same problem too. The owner gets too busy with work or overwhelmed with the number of happenings around her, and we get ignored. When owners ignore us for too long, we die a silent and painful death.

You see, I come from a huge family of many even larger families. Our god (Google) is a very powerful one. We worship her religiously, without her shine of light on us, we will never get any hit at all. When that happens, we die. Many of my relatives died tragically and I don’t want that to happen to me. I want our god to keep shining her almighty light on me and keep me alive.

Claudia the Panda seemed to have diverted her attention to new sisters and brothers of mine which I never ever wished for! There is the one for ladies and tech, the one for rediscovering Singapore, the one where she post via email, the one for her and her man and the one where she doesn’t know what the hell she’s doing with. And I wonder what other siblings of mine are brewing in her mind! Why can’t she just focus on me alone? Aren’t I good enough for her?

I wish Claudia the Panda will keep posting content in me. Feed me with text love and help me get link love. I don’t want to die. I want to be loved like before. I want to get hit the moment she returns from an event. I want to get link love because of her lovely photos she takes of people at these great events. Ok, for this, I blame the my relative’s big brother (Facebook). Ever since he came into the world, Claudia the Panda only uploads photo to Facebook and tag people there, she no longer share it in me. My love and hits had all gone to the relative’s big brother. I’m sad.

If you are a friend of Claudia the Panda, please tell her to stop neglecting me. Tell her that she need to continue to love me and fill me up so that I can be kept alive.

Thank you very much for reading this.

Needing lots of content and love,
The Blog of Claudia the Panda
