New Camera

At long last I got my new camera...an Olympus Stylus 1030sw. Waterproof up to 32.8 feet and shockproof, all for the price of Php 18,850.00 (converted from Malaysian Ringgit + Western union fees). Actually if you're gonna buy it here in Manila (malls), it would cost you Php 25,995.00, so since Malaysia and Singapore are gadget havens, I asked Joey (a friend of mine from KL) to check the price of the cam. And lo and behold...it's 8,000 cheaper. So I immediately told him that I'm gonna send him the money to buy me one, actually two, coz Niño, my teammate who first introduced me to the cam, would also like to buy 1 for himself.

After Joey canvassed the cam, it was RM 1,350.00 equivalent to Php 18,355.00

To cut it all short, I got the camera last Sunday! But not before I found out about the store in Robinson's Pioneer that sells the same camera for only Php 16,500.00. WTF! Yes, after all the canvassing and the kahihiyan to my friend to buy the cam for me, and to have him pakisuyo to one of his friends to bring it here, there's a freaking store that sells it cheaper than any store in Malaysia!

Although, I can't help but wonder why is it that cheap....uyyyyyyyy...pampalubag loob lang po!

Well moving on....I took quite a number of pictures the day that I got it ...but I'm not gonna post everything here, coz most of them I already deleted, dahil wala syang kwenta, you have to understand I'm still learning how to use it...

I haven't tried its under water feature though, my original plan was to jump into the pool the minute that I have it, but I had to see Lhen later that day, so I wasn't able to swim



The 1st picture I took was of Niño in Tender Bob's, where I waited for him so I could give him the camera. Then he took a picture of me using his camera, para kaming nanalo sa isang raffle holding the camera, sayang walang DTI rep to assist us.


Anyway, please look forward to lots of entries with pics from hereon.....especially my upcoming out-of-town trips....woot!
