The Daily Matters

The Canon Normal EF 50mm f/1.8 II Autofocus Lens seems to take pretty good portrait shots. I wish to take practice more on taking portraits but my model seems to be uncooperative. LOL! He is too young to know what photo shoot is all about and sometimes runs towards the camera instead. I keep trying to be a bit distant just so I could take candid shots without his attention but for only a very short time. Hehehe. Kids are undeniably hard to take a good picture of especially with the young ones. Time comes and Casey will be old enough to become my model.

Gone are the analog age and here comes digital. Don’t be left out and get a digital radio whether you love country music or hip hop, get one for your car, home or in your vacation home.

Well, the following can be yours.

• CD-quality sound
• Crystal-clear reception
• No station drop-off
• No static, hiss or audio distortion

And with iPod tagging, you can never go wrong at downloading your favorite music from a high definition radio station to your iPod with the use of the iTunes Tagging enabled HD Radio™ receiver.

Have you heard the latest in radio technology? If there is such a thing as HDTV, radio is not behind at all. In fact, high definition radio is now ‘in’ and it’s what everyone must have especially those who love music everywhere they go may it be on vacation or even just around the house or at your backyard. If you’re tired of the old fashion radio stations’ receptions that go out of whack depending on your location, high definition radio is capable of AM and FM stations broadcasted digitally.

This is for sure the latest and greatest of its kind after the introduction of FM stereo over 50 years ago. From analog to digital is sure a great improvement. That means you will be able to listen to your favorite new radio stations loud and clear like a CD. Did you know that it has iTunes Tagging capability as well?

PolkAudio is the next best thing to the ordinary radio we have.

There are times when I feel the need to listen to country music. I am not a big fan of a specific band or singer and I am not very particular with any genres. I do listen when it’s good to my ears and it depends on the message or lyrics of the song. Anyway, I do check out new country music stations from time to time and find out whether it suits my taste. I have actually liked some songs that even though I don’t memorize, I could at least sing along with the tune.

If you are like me in one way or another when it comes to listening to music, you don’t need the latest albums of your favorite music because having the radio and tuning it to HD radio is the latest in technology. Whether you will be in your own home’s comfort while relaxing or on vacation down south, Florida High Definition Radio stations are capable of reaching your ears. This AM FM HD Radio technology is the real deal. They broadcast their programs digitally. How cool is that?! I must say, Polk Audio I-sonic ES2 is definitely a must have!

I like magic shows. Who doesn’t want to see unbelievable tricks and be amazed, anyway? Besides being entertained, seeing something different and something interesting is a good way to see life in another perspective. Harry Houdini did a lot of illusions and mastered his tricks that no one has ever done before. Today, a modern magician like Criss Angel has executed similar skills and it’s a good thing to witness since not everyone is familiar with Houdini’s works. While Harry Houdini had been tagged as a great escapologist, someone actually can do the same thing these days and I saw it at Criss Angel’s show on the television which he performed in New York. I saw his card tricks as well and the levitation thing is a cool one.

It’s good news for those who love his illusions and performances especially those who are going to be in Luxor Hotel Las Vegas because Criss Angel will be there. He is going to have a show with the Cirque du Soleil which is a good team-up I would imagine. I have seen Cirque du Soleil’s performance too and it’s going to be a great one with CRISS ANGEL Believe™. Did you know that there is a current Text Message contest to win 2 tickets to the Cirque du Soleil show featuring Criss Angel? Just text ‘Believe’ and send to 22122. Join now!

When I hear the hubby say, that’s the look I wanted from you. I think it gives me the idea that there’s something special in me which really makes his heart melt. LOL! Whether I’m being goofy, mad, or inquisitive, only the hubby knows what the “look” means more than anybody else. He is getting used to it since we’ve been together. I guess the person you spend more time with is able to read your face even without saying anything. And it’s common to married or dating couples. May it be the “look” for flirting or the “look” that sparks interest; it’s definitely a factor that leads one thing to another and achieve Victory Hair.

Some common non-verbal flirting that I know is touching your hair among women so as some men notice it. It’s a very popular flirting tactic I would guess, but I don’t think I’ve used it a lot though. I remember in my high school days, I simply take a glance at a classmate of mine with whom I had a big crush on whenever I get the chance like all day. Boy, did it make me want to come to school very happy just to see him. I get sad when he is not around. Yeah, those days! I think I could have won the Ultimate Flirting Championship.

Anyway, what is “Victory Hair”? For me, it’s when my husband brings me presents on ordinary days unexpectedly. I mean nothing fancy but something that reminds me how good my crowning glory looks that I deserve the praise through gifts. From there, it makes me want to make a really good dinner for the breadwinner of the family which will eventually mess my hair up. Got it? Good! Who doesn’t love the shower of presents anyway and a good dinner? I even have a step-by-step towards “Victory Hair” which is:

Step One: Buy VO5 Shampoo and Conditioner
Step Two: Shower before the hubby comes home from work.

Step Four: The hubby notices the hair.
Step Five: The next day expect a present and some messy hair follows.
