Reply to Homemaking is a "Real" Job in Home & Family JoeUser Forums

I work from 8 to 5. In the weekend, with a trekload of 15kg of camping and photography equipment, I trek anything between 15 to 30km. By the time I got home, the only thing that interest me is the remote and TV. And how I wish someone to do the housework. Its not that my walkup apartment is messy beyond belief. It is just not a "home". Or an "office". Or a "studio". What am I driving at. All these three place needs certain amount of works called "job" to make it work. Without the "job

Thanks Karma. I don't get to see Ansell Adam but I sure love his works. He kinda inspired me, something like to shoot nature, you have to be a part of it. And loving it. Thanks also for the suggestion. Get to it later today. I am looking forward to see and read your next article.

Reply to Nikon N80 and Fuji S2 Pro in Professional Work JoeUser Forums

You got my vote Karmagirl. But if only. S2 Pro is pretty expensive in this neck of the wood. The body alone cost RM8888, which is probably about USD2000. Tell you what though, I have been hustling around with this cheap plastic camera and it works just fine, resolution wise. Canon EOS 300D or Digital Rebel back in the state. Here in North Borneo, the 300D is RM4000, which is about USD1000. Its sensor is 6MP and I just love the battery. A full charge could take me up to 180 images of 6MP before i

Let see now, Sex=Male + Female. (This equation is valid in most countries). If we removed Female, you think we could be free from Sex. Or is Sex really a bad thing ? And if we removed this equation all together, would this world or society for that matter, would be better off. Try extinct. Sex is good. Sex is fun. In fact just about anything which moved in this planet, performs sex in one way or another. I mean, what else other than sex, for procreation purpose, its fun to keep on doing

Reply to The lone soldier in Art JoeUser Forums

I was a military cadet for two years. At first, being a kid and all, being a soldier is about protecting one country and what's in it. But throughout boot camp, we were trained to believe, that being a soldier is really about protecting yourself, the next guys beside you and then your country. We wondered why it was that, throughout the training. It was after through it, we learnt the truth. You have to live and survive, to protect the next guy and we need a lot of guys, including mysel

Nature Photography in Photography JoeUser Forums

I need to remind myself. To be a good nature photographer, I would believe the most important thing is patience. Patience is a virtue that requires constant, if not daily,practise. Going back into my catalogs of images, I noticed the good looking images were those that were taken when I actually spent more than a minute, tweaking and adjusting the camera's position and exposure. While others, if they are in the viewfinder, just adjust the exposure and click. A little bit more than just poin

Reply to Do you have Faith? in Pure Technology JoeUser Forums

Is it wrong for the religiously weak willed to find and accept God. It actually takes a lot more effort and time to find God. And probably a lot more to justify the believe. And some, after so much times and efforts, couldn't find the justification. A long time ago, someone told me this. The way to God, is through your heart. Get it clean up.

Yes, Muggaz, the simplest explaination is often right. Maybe the world would be a better place to live in if we just stick to simple answers, instead of finding other esoteric reasonings. That requires more explaination. You know, its nice to have something tangible to believe in. Even though we might not be able to explain it sometimes.

Muggaz...I believe there is. I mean,I asked myself why I was bornt in this century. Why not in the 19th, or 18th or better yet, either during 1AD or 500 years later. You see, just about anything and everything that we see, has a reason to being. Nothing is by chance or it just happened to be there. I am not saying that God had planned exactly what each and everyone of us needs to do. All I am saying, all of us is parts of a scheme of thing. To

Reply to Do you have Faith? in Pure Technology JoeUser Forums

Do I have faith? Yes I do. What is it that I believe? I believe in myself. Am I a God? No I am not. Do I believe that there is a God. Yes I do. Then if there is a God, where is He? In my heart. How a person believed his religion, dictates how he or she, lives/behaves/acts/decides. It is all about believe. A person who believes in no religion, or doesn't believe in the existence of God, still believe. Just like I don't believe that 10,000 years ago, our ancestor was inserted on

Reply to Sex And Love in Blogging JoeUser Forums

I prefer sex and devotion. Pretty ancient methodology but so is our biology/physiology but not our psychology. I would like to find a woman, who knows how to be loved and knows how to appreciate it. And who knows how to adapt and improve based on what I feel for her. Remember the first girl you took an interest a long time ago. You practically improved on just about anything on you just so the girl liked you. Sex is not an offer, a reward or a trade. Its a symbiosis. I made love a long

There is an old saying; Its better to die a million times in love than never to die at all without knowing what loves is. And the past is neither a guarantee nor a confirmation of the future. You just got to play it by the ears. Who knows the second one is better than the first one. Or it could be a lot more painful. Or a lot more wonders. The only way for you to find out, is just go and do it. Either way, win or fail, at least you know. For being hurt in love is a lot worthwhile than never to k

I am a muslim. Right about now, being a muslim is a dangerous thing. For the last few years, other so called muslims have done grave things to others. I am begining to wonder what is their God really, even though our God's name is Allah. The truth is, hurting others let alone killing, is never written anywhere in all the good books.For whatever reason. The thing is, believers have misinterpreted. In fact in just about any religions, even though they all have more or less the same general idea ab

Sex And Love in Blogging JoeUser Forums

The question is, can we have sex without love? Or can we love without sex? Why am I asking this? I don't know. It's just that, sometimes I came across statements,coming from women saying that men need sex more than women.And the other day, a woman asked me whether sex could be "not" in the male+female equation. But another woman said, if a man didn't want to have sexual relationship with the woman he loved, probably there is something wrong with him. Then again, it might be a good or ideal s

Reply to If I could save time in a bottle.... in Misc JoeUser Forums

Yeah...I had that too. I was on the mountain last year in North Borneo. I was walking down the trail in the early morning when I had this funny sensation, as if, someone had called my name and a feeling as if I was being followed. Kinda creepy especially in the early hour of the morning, walking alone on a mountain trail. At home in the evening, my mum called me that my uncle passed away the day before. He had an accident and everyone tried to get hold of me. But the mountain is a dead

Codeworks in Software Development JoeUser Forums

It used to be, very compact. Years ago, if anyone could write the least number of codes to make a prog, he is the Grand Kahuna. But, while everything else in this world gets smaller, faster and leaner, how come application development don't. How comes you have to get SDKs and/or 3rd party libraries to get your code to work. But they don't actually make your prog smaller. In fact most progs nowadays have bigger footprint and even if they don't, their links to libraries could put any octopus to sh

imajinit got a point there about being "still". In fact, a lot of good could have had happened if only those "people" could just sit still. Maybe...and just maybe, a lot of mistake and wars could have been "not" started if they had kept quiet and be still. Still is good. It's a one on one, with yourself. As long as, you have more you like about yourself than not.
