I nicked this one from thisistheplan, who also happens to be my twin sister.

Copy/paste the first sentence or two from each month of this past year for your LJ Year in Review. This year, for the most part could easily be one of the most challenging years in my life. But we learned (oh, we learned). I think the best part of my year is my new job. Where I met a lot of great friends. Some of which, I really hold dear to my heart.

Here we go, the year in review:
( next year will be incredible )
Funny how we remember the things we choose to remember. I think this year had made me a really thankful person. I found a lot of things to be thankful for, despite everything. I will come to terms with religion, and faith. I guess, I am beginning to let go some of all the things which make me so angry all the time. Great for me, Happy New Year soon!

1001 Noisy Cameras in a nutshell
1001 Noisy Cameras is digital camera news, speculation, analysis, rumors, unique and off-beat features with a dose of humor. This is a mix-format blog, it's like having a dozen blogs trapped in one, or a photography forum compressed in a single page. Some of the core activities:

• chase rumors, engage in speculation, predictions
• cover hot topics, latest buzz and the latest news
• include comedy, parody, satire, silliness (think The Colbert Report for digital cameras)
• talk shopping, bargain hunting, pre-orders, price drops
• cover impact reviews, organize reviews
• gadgetology
• free market analysis blog-style (you get what you pay for!)

They Jeff and Lisa, a husband & wife photography team. Jeff writes most of the content, while Lisa edits and maintains the blog.

digiphototips   -

digital-photography-tips.net provides useful information about all aspects of digital photography. From buying the right digital camera, tips on taking beautiful photographs and advice on editing the results. There is even help on preparing your digital photographs for printing, and the best way to get quality print results.

HELP!

Can somebody please point me to a good graphics community. I need inspiration for my multiply header. Because the layout I have is just too, um, borrowed. So there. I need personalization in my life.

And if you happen to have multiply and you are reading this, go add me there as well. Assuming of course we are not yet friends, that is. And I like leaving comments in people's multiply posts. Because. But the reason and an extensive explanation for that must be reserved for some other time.

Good night, world.

/start rant

Dear Panget, aka as panget,

ampanget-panget mo. Hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit, kelan at paano tayo na-link. Spell kadiri. Oh my gosh, I know we are friends and all but ampanget mo pa rin.  Utang na loob, hallucinatory ka? Ano na itong naririnig ko na... Buti na lang may mga kaibigan ako para ipa-realize sa akin ang mga bagay-bagay gaya ng kapangitan mo. Hindi ko maintindihan talaga.

Masaya ako na nakahanap ka din ng katapat mo. /apir

Now that that is out of my system, we can both go to sleep now.

For the benefit of the LJ community, I syndicated a few feeds so that LJ users can now subscribe to lovely, lovely sites outside of LJ-dom.

Today, let me put the spotlight on two of them:

marocharim_vol7  and beyondmegapixel 

If you are from Baguio, UP Baguio, a heavy blog hopper/cum political activist you might have heard of Marocharim before. Marck Ronald Chang Rimorin is a UP alumnus. He has this to say for himself:

I won’t always write about what people will want to read, and over the years, some people have hated me for it.  But in the same way, some people respect me for it.  I would even go to jail - by my own free will - if it means standing by what I write.  Standing by what I write means that I stand by what I think of in the first place, before I even began to commit my thoughts into an entry.  A blogger faces two realities: while I am more free to write about what I like, the laws that protect journalists here do not apply to me.

I don't think I can ever give the guy some justice if I continue describing him. Better yet, just go to his blog, and know why I think it is interesting. And why you must add him in your daily subscription in your LJ friends list. I know someone who might like this one.

Beyond Megapixel is a Digital Photography Guide for the Beginners, Advanced Users and the like. I find it surprising that no one has ever sydicated their feed yet. Only to find out that their blog is relatively new. Hmmmn, thay might be the reason. They have this to say for themselves:

We are Jeff and Lisa, a husband & wife photography team. Jeff writes most of the content, while Lisa edits and maintains the blog. You can e-mail us at info at beyondmegapixels.com.

What to expect from us: beginner-friendly content, photography tips and tricks, Photoshop tips and tutorials, news and product releases, and other fun, geeky stuff.

So head on over to the feeds and subscribe today. You may just know what you are missing.

I feel so fickle, darling. Flavor of the month ang lay-outs ko. This is the third lay-out since May. But I am pretty sure, this one is to last longer than a month.

drum-roll please.
