Something New About Me

I seldom make an update of what's keeping me busy lately these days and what's something new about me... So here it is--- ( kahit wala namang may nagtatanong lol! )

---Yellow Flag---

School Cross Walk Guard---I man twice a month in the morning when children are going to school. I go out with a yellow flag and spend about 30 to 40 minutes at the cross walk until 15 to 30 children leave the neighborhood. I have to tag along Haruka with me early in the morning, usually around 7:15 A.M. coz I don't want her to be left alone in the house. Wakaba and some of the kids in the neighborhood goes together to school here in our community and we, parents ( usually Moms ) must do the task ( given by the school ) twice a month. I don't know for some of the schools here in Japan but that's what they're doing here at our community.


---Haruka doing her part---
---We greet the kids as they pass at the cross walk. ' Ohayo Gozaimasu! '( Good morning! )---
--- On-going project---

Bazaar Project--- I'm starting (again) a bazaar project at Haruka's school together with some other Moms and this time we're making some cutie handicrafts to be sold at the bazaar early November this year. I'm not good at these needles and threads thingy but I'm trying to do my best on how this stuffs work. However, I'm enjoying for sometimes and that Moms at school is very patient of teaching me. It's just that my needle, thread and me ain't doing well together lol! ---Pamphlets/ Brochures---

Camera Hunting--- Camera hunting is driving me nuts!! I dunno what camera to choose for a beginner like me. The truth is I'm very much satisfied with my Canon IXY 930 IS digital camera( x-mas gift from hubby last year ) because of the compact size and it just fit our needs--not until when my daughter Wakaba's Sports Day at Primary School came and I realized that I need more ' room of the zoom ' but still undecided of what kind of camera that really suits us. The main: Money, I'm only after for cameras not exceeding to 100,000 japanese yen ( well, more or less ), it must have the 10 times zoom, not too much heavy and can record videos. Anybody helppp!!\(^0^)/

Dami mo pala pinagkakaabalahan dyan! Buti pa dyan may school crosswalk guard. Laki talaga naitutulong sa mga batang tumatawid.

OMG ate ang ganda naman sa community nyo..napak-peaceful yata.. dito im not sure kung meron sa amin nyan.

ANyway, about your camera.. my gosh na-excite naman ako sa yo.. First of all, anong klaseng cam ba ang gusto mo? Syempre pinaka-maganda sa lahat ang dslr, yun nga lang medyo bulky. Pero if you're after zoom na, yung mas mababa level kesa dslr, yung powershot series... Kung digicam naman, i recommend Canon S90 or Ricoh CX3 kasi ok sila sa low light, di masyado ma-noise.. Maganda rin ang Lumix LX3 kaso walang english.. Kung ok lang na Japanese, tignan nyo yung Lumix GF1 at Sony NEX, kasi kung bibili ako ng cam, Sony Nex ang bibilin ko.. compact dslr kasi... Ayan nagfeeling pro na naman ako hehe... Nagtitingin tingin din kasi ako dahil may plan ako mag-upgrade ng cam this year kaya share ko lang yung mga reviews ko hehe..
basta message me na lang or call me hehe.. Excited nako sa cam mo... Maganda rin pala pentax, mas mura pa.

you're busy pala, just like me (khit di mo din tanungin! :) i like the arts and crafts! enjoy daughter ko diyan. as for the dslr, I think Nikon is the best, though well-marketed lang un Canon kaya parang mas sikat ung Canon. :) Pero sa features, halos pareho lang at minsan, better pa un Nikon. :) Happy Thursday!

Beth said...

Pero oops! Ang bibilhin ko kasi Canon hahaha! E kasi natatakot akong gamitin naman un Nikon kasi parang mejo pang professional na talaga un dating niya! Hayy..hirap din mamili no? Lalo na pag restricted ng budget! :)

Clarissa said...

Ladies,thanks for dropping by!^_^
Out sa budget ko ang dslr--hanggang sampung lapad lang ang budget ko lol..Bagong labas ang Sony Nex di ba?
Kaya lang naman ako napa-praning kasi pare-pareho ng price ang gusto kong camera.Di ko akalain na mahirap palang pumili ng right camera-sobrang mahal kasi...
Thanks for the advices!Maghahanap uli ako^_^

I like the idea of of involving the citizen for community service like this.

For camera, hmmnn dunno kung ano mas maganda dyan sa Japan hehehe. Ako kuntwento na dito sa digital ko hehehe..

Dhemz said...

wow! I like the idea of the flag....nice one....:)

whoaaaa....ako din excited for you....hahahha....sarap kaya ng may DSLR....I prefer Nikon...madali lang kasi gamitin kesa Cannon....maganda din yung sony....looking forward to see your new baby mami Clang....:)

eden said...

That's nice, Mommy Clang! Ako din last year nag volunteer sa school just helping the teacher in the classroom.

About the camera, i dont have any idea of what is the best. Ginamit ko ngayon is just an ordinary cam. I have other one but I found it not handy when we do trips bulky kasi mas malaki kay sa isa ko.

Azumi's Mom ★ said...

Te ang sampung lapad mo ay may DSLR ka na.. SOny Nex ka nalang, 8 man lang yata.. kaso walang eigo =( Kung gusto mo may eigo, go for Nikon or Canon or Pentax, wag olympus..

Clarissa said...

Bambie and to all my friends,arigatou!Thanks for the advices--I have made up my choice na and I hope it'll be the right choice for a beginner like me. Hopefully,I'll buy the camera by next week.Thank you ladies,your advices helps a lot! ^_^
