External Flash: Nissin DI622

Last Christmas, my fiancée gave me an external flash for my DSLR camera. The truth is I was never a fan of photos taken using an external flash. I feel that the subject becomes too bright and the photo loses its artistic quality... but now, I change my mind. The external flash is an amazing accessory to help document our travels and night outs with friends and family. With this flash, you can capture the subject clearly and also the DSLR is now capable of taking a photo with the background in full color. Not only that, the lighting is balanced and can be controlled to ensure that the subjects are not burned out by the light. It also helps in taking macro shots of food. Thanks JingJong for the best and practical gift for 2010. I love you! :)

Here are some photos taken with the flash:

If you're a amateur photographer this flash is really a great investment! :)

Enjoy taking pictures!

Love,

Watchy Christmas

Last Christmas, our dad didn't have an idea on what to give us for Christmas.Since the Christmas rush was so bad, he just asked us what we wanted so it will be hassle free for him!  He still had it wrapped and we still opened it on Christmas Eve! Haha Funny!

Here are our Choices:

Cristalle: White and Gold Everlast Sports Watch

China: Fila Mother of Pearl face with Pastic Straps

Ivorie: Yellow Columbia Sports Watch

Is that all the watches we got? There's more!

Cristalle: I bought this in the Robinson's Galleria Tiangge (in front of the Supermarket) as extra Christmas gifts for us three (I bought one for myself too). How can you go wrong with 100 Peso swatch plastic watches? Cute for everyday casual wear. (Chi - white, Cris - Pink, Ivorie - Purple)

Ivorie: Giordano Neon plastic watches are just so cute and adds a nice twist to any plain outfit! These watches are from LJ (Ivorie's boyfriend). I've been wanting to buy these watches but never got a chance to. I like how sturdy the plastic is. It doesn't look like it will break easily. :)

China: Who knew that there was a watch brand called AXN? No, not the TV channel. It's Cristalle's Christmas gift to me and I loved it as soon as I saw it. The bronze color was just perfect for a more dressier occasion. Who cares about the brand right?

(AXN watches are sold in SM Department stores)

Now we can never be late and we'll always know the time! :)

More Gift/Christmas/New Year posts soon!

Love,

Cris, Chi and Ivorie

We're Back! Happy New Year! :)

We're back! :) With so many things going on, we didn't have time to blog anymore. But the holidays was the perfect time for us to dress up and show the world our outfits!

Christmas eve get-ups:

On China and Cristalle: Our mom asked our neighborhood seamstress to make these simple yet elegant shift dresses inspired by this dress worn by Marylin Monroe. (We kinda have to alter the dresses some more because we want the upper part of the dress to be lower and show more skin. Just like the picture below. haha)

 You can keep on wearing these for different occasions and it will always look good! We're planning to have more made in different colors.

On Ivorie: Looks like a one piece dress? Nope it's not! Got the layered top from a bazaar and paired it up with a black skirt from F21 (borrowed from Cris). Just a little bit of accessories and the outfit looks brand new!

New Year's Eve get-up:

On Cristalle: F21 skirt. Mango tank top.
On Ivorie: F21 top, skirt and shoes.
On China: The shift dress again. (still looks great!!)

More posts in the coming days! :) Happy New Year everyone! :)

Love,

Ivorie, Cristalle and China
