70-200 Nikon Old School Lens
I just bought today my second lens and it’s 70-200mm Nikon Old School Lens that was came from Film SLR. It was quite inexpensive 1,300 pesos ($30) that is why I bought it immediately and the seller is a great person a good friend of mine Badjo (Jobenick Badiola). The lens is just fit for me as of now since I am only studying DSLR Photography I just bought my DSLR 300d last November and I rarely use it due to my hectic schedule.
My Review: 70-200mm Nikon Old School Film SLR Lens
1) It’s a bit heavy because it was made from steel unlike the lenses nowadays it was lighter. Since it was made from steel it’s more durable.
2) Good for street photography (I am now learning it)
3) Since it was used from film DSLR, you can use it only for manual settings also the flash needs to set to manual or else you will recieve some errors like “no lens detected” but it’s good to practice manual mode.
4) I can not use my close up filter lens well maybe I will just buy reverse ring for macro
All in all it was a good buy from my friend. I will put the picture later..

PBB Double Up Kuyas Darlings
After the shocking battle between the ex-housemates and the in-housemates in kuya’s house which they called resbak attack there’s another twist again that Pinoy Big Brother fans will surely enjoy. They called it Kuya’s Darlings.
Princess, Rica and Yuri were told to enter the main house as houseplayers. They were to pretend to be regular housemates. Big Brother revealed that the last HOH of the season (Tibo) will also serve as the Hand Grenade User, where he will have the power of automatic nomination.
They ask to form 2 groups which the leader of both teams will choose their members. Team Paul Jake chose Tibo, Mariel, Melissa and Rica while team Yohan chose Jason, Princess, Yuri, Kath. They will battle for a weekly task.
The good thing about the 3 kuya’s darlings is the people can vote what the kuya’s darlings want them to do.

Daily Planner
I just bought today a 2010 daily planner in National Bookstore for the main reason of unorganized daily works that I have. I have a lot of things to do and since I have no boss but myself alone I don’t have enough perseverance to strive harder. Now that I will list down all the future task that I’m assigning to myself, I have no option but to follow all the things I need to do in everyday. Aside from that you can write down notes in there as well as other future appointments you have and the most important thing is the phone book, you can list all the contacts you have for back up reason if you miss your phone.
So for individual like me that have lots of things to do but do not have enough perseverance I’m recommending you to buy a daily planner it will cost you only 3 to 5 bucks. It’s for your own good too.

It’s too early to predict there are 8 housemates more in Pinoy Big Brother’s House but for me the resbak attack made by Big Brother was a big test in their determination to win and to stand for their beliefs.
In 8 remaining housemates for me the weakest link after the resbak attack made by housemate last January 17-23, 2010 are:
I chose 3 weakest link or may I say do not have enough determination to win and it would be better if they were all evicted in the Big Brother’s house.

1) Jason
2) Melai
3) Hermes
So have you seen the weakest link? So now let’s move on my top 5:
1) Mariel
2) Paul Jake
3) Mommy Kat
4) Tatay Tibo
5) Yohan
They were all determined to win and will do anything just to finished the task of big brother.

Kobe Bryant 2009-2010 MVP
Yeah I know it’s very early to mention the NBA teams are only approaching 40 games for every teams but many would agree to me especially the millions of Kobe Bryant fans out there that this season’s MVP belongs to him. Why? For the simple reason of toughness. Aside from the statistics I think Kobe Bryant has a lot of heart that few players possess. He plays with broken finger, there’s nothing new about it because he used to play 2007-2008 with broken finger as well, he played hundreds of game that season until finals with Boston Celtics and after that he even played in the FIBA USA and Olympics after wards. He plays with back spasm together with broken finger because he wants to help his team win rather than the individual stats/awards.
I will update this post later since I feel sleepy now.

Pinoy Big Brother Double Up Resback Attack
Honestly I don’t watch Pinoy Big Brother before but now I’m one of the big fan. It’s just started when I first glance and timing that big brother is not there it was big utol who took charge for a week. I enjoy big utol rather than big brother because big utol is like tado when speaks and the way he punished and make fun of the housemate it’s very enjoyable to watch.

Now big brother is here again he makes ex-housemates as instrument to see the true color of remaining 8 housemates.
They were later assigned their first mission: assault House A and mess up the place while the housemates were sleeping. The housemates woke up to survey the damage and thought those who raided House A came from a “House C.” After Hermes’ announcement that he would nominate himself, Big Brother played the Resbak Attack team’s commentaries, which sparked some tension between the remaining housemates. They also theorized that the ex-housemates were actually on the other house.The weekly task for the housemates was to protect an egg and to build two towers of dominoes. If the eggs were broken, PHP 20,000 of the Big Four’s pot money would be given to charity. Ex-housemates entered House A in the order of Delio, Rica/Cathy, Yuri/Patrick, and Princess/Rob in a bid to test the housemates’ emotions and mental stability. The housemates thought the visitors were trying to put down their guard so someone else could sneak in and destroy the towers. Tom voluntarily exited and was replaced by Kenny. Because House A lacked food, Sharon Cuneta came in to provide the housemates with food. The housemates, dressed as flies, competed against the ex-housemates, handling large swatters, and lost, costing them PHP 45,000 from the Big Four pot money. In the evening, the ex-housemates made another push against the housemates and succeeded in destroying both of the domino towers. While helping rebuild the towers, Hermes inadvertently broke his egg, resulting in another PHP 20,000 deducted from the total grand prize pot.
-quoted @ wikipedia
For this week I don’t think any nominated are deserve to be evicted, you can see all their effort in battling for survival. Sorry for MelaSon but I think your 2 idols Jason and Melissa are the weakest link this weak but fortunately they are both not nominated.
Sikat ang Pinoy SEO Contest
I started the year by joining my second SEO contest. The first SEO contest I have joined was last October to December 2008 and gladly rank 5th overall. This “sikat ang pinoy” SEO contest I hope that I can get at least a place just like the first. I’m not always joining the SEO contest because for me it’s time consuming and I don’t have enough time to pursue it (I even have no time to breathe LOL!). I only select the SEO contest I am joining the first criteria I’m looking for is the rules (I like the rules by Alfredo Palconit SEO contest), second is the uniqueness of the contest like this “sikat ang pinoy” contest by Alwin Clores because it focuses only in tagalog language and for me it’s good to take a shot since I don’t have any pure tagalog site.
I started working my entry last December and gladly after weeks I accomplished the first rank but it only took 2 days and after a month it returns to rank 1 but sadly it lasts only a week. The main problem with me is I stop working when I got the number 1 but the fact that I need to work double because it’s very critical maintaining the top position than aiming though.
As of now my rank is 6 but Google indexing very quick the result change a lot. Keeping my fingers cross and let’s see in my next post what will happen.
