I can't hold off anymore...

During the shoot earlier, Sid and Russ were talking about digicams. I was intently reading "The House that Crack Built", when I heard 'Canon G10'. My head snapped up and turned around. Then Sid showed off his latest pics taken with his 2-day old Panasonic Lumix LX3. The black and white shots were GORGEOUS! After a few more discussion points, we were both convinced.

Despite Chewy's neg review, Russ and I agreed that, coming from users themselves, the ayes outnumbered the nays (sorry Chew, but I still am a great fan of your work, grabe!). I hesitated slightly, thinking that I can just wait it out till my HK trip next weekend (yahoo!), but Russ swayed my decision again with points like "Hardly a big price difference," and "Insurance when buying it here." Then Sid enthused that he got a great package for a song. All that good news (plus Juned's input yesterday) was enough. The decision was forged.

So later today, Russ and I will hie off to shop for our LX3s. Sid will be there for support and vouch for our discount, yay!!

Oh--Anyone here rooting for the Canon G10 please? I still have about 12 hours to change my mind :-)

In which my expectations...

...seem to exceed what is being delivered, I find myself seeking change in the very current landscape of my life.


There are many things that are waiting to be discovered, yet I have chosen not to because I'd rather stick to my comfort zone and set my eyes on what I believe would bring me good. But then again, do I really know what's best for me?

So this time, I have to remind myself that I've been forgetting to trust the One who loved me first... the One whose gentle hand has been guiding me all along even if I don't see or feel it often... only because of late, I have chosen to stoically remain within the confines of my finite thoughts and being.

Teach me to look over and further beyond what my own stubborn heart and eyes can see.

One of the most gut wrenchingly sincere words crafted together... Kudos to Oriah Mountain Dreamer!

I may have read this in the past, in some forwarded mail or another.

But reading it again tonight, from out of the blue, it was... *kapow!*

<*yeowwwch!*>

Time to go back to basics, and free my mind (and heart) from the twistedness and drudgery of the past.

Thanks so much for the wake-up call (bop on the head?), Capolucci.

Let me know when I've gotten the for the final casting.
