December 27-30, 2009

Yeah.. It’s been a while, I’ve been busy doing some geeky stuff, and I forgot to post updates. Anyway, it feels good to meet skimmers online, and feels good to discuss all things about skimboarding, and when it comes to that, there’s only one site that you can get fresh updates about what’s happening in our own Filipino skimboarding community, yes, it’s Padagata.com.

One of my favorite site to hangout is the cameralabs.com, and to my surprise, they posted a preview for the up coming mid-level DSLR from Canon, the Canon EOS 500D. I just can't wait to check its reviews by Mr. Gordon when it comes out, and its giving me thoughts about trading my current camera, 450D, with this. I know there's a lot of DSLRs to be considered like Canon 50D or Nikon D-whatever, but considering the budget this will be an option.

As usual, my parents went to Tacloban (again) to work on some papers, so I got the chance to hang out at Tanauan. When I arrived at the beach, there were skimmers already, Tals and Stephen (Longkoy’s brother), then we just start talking and skimming. An hour later, we moved to another spot, and Stephen insisted that I should try his board, man.. it was my first time to use a Victoria skimboard.. haha.. felt good.. hmm.. I was thinking of getting my own board too… I wonder how much it’ll cost.
