Poking fun at emo kids. Man, that never gets old. Sorry Hyubs.

Because making fun of Sydrick is just so farkin’ easy.

We probably had my last inuman session with some of the gang last Saturday at Quattro and Jade Valley somewhere in Timog, so I made some quick captions to commemorate the event. I’ll be uploading the rest on my Flickr and Multiply pages when I can think up of more stuff to laugh about

Finally got myself a wireless flash trigger — no, not a Pocket Wizard™, just a cheap radio remote — and I can’t wait to try it on people!

I actually tried my hand at soldering a few wires to an old hotshoe connector I have, but was too scared to try it on my D40X, although it worked fine on my F60. Still, wires are bulky, and I know there’s an exposed wire somewhere because I got a mild jolt the first time I tried it.

I got mine from Gadget Infinity, though I’d advise that you wait ’till someone you know goes to Hong Kong first, or ships it to you from there, since their shipping costs don’t include the taxes. It’s not 100% reliable though, particularly when there’s a large obstacle, but it’ll do in a pinch

I don’t do this often — oh wait, I do — but not lately, so allow me this minor indulgence.

The hairs on the back of my neck are still standing, it’s just that good. Watch it, you’ll be amazed.

Glam/pop isn’t really my cup of tea, but tell me if the voice on that guy isn’t freaking awesome. By the way, that song, I’ve been told, is Alone by Heart:

I don’t say this too often, but dang the original didn’t do that cover justice. That said, there’s something about rocker chicks in black leather that just… um… yeah. *drool*

UPDATE: Here’s another local band doing that same song. Can you say LSS?
