The Joy of Collecting: Model Cars

Things that give us pleasure.  We do tend to collect them.  We are talking about material objects here, okay?  For me at least, on the things I collect, they give me immense pleasure just by looking at them.  Something like a visual therapy.  My stress relieved.  My worries gone for a bit.  It recharges me.  It revitalizes me.

A Legit Cactito

 

Hear ye, hear ye!  Let it be known by all people walking on the face of this planet: I coined the term CACTITO.

The lockdowns enforced by governments because of this pandemic has brought all sorts of things.  There was a change on how we do our daily office work.  There was a change on how we communicate with one another.  There was a change on how we plan our groceries and prepare our meals.  There was basically a change in almost every aspect of our daily living.  To some, mental health has been affected in varying degrees depending on how big the change was on their lives.  One way of coping is engaging in a hobby that can take away the stress of this confinement from the four corners of the house. 

One hobby that is currently enjoyed by many is growing different kinds of exotic plants at home.  The growers are what we call "plantitos" and "plantitas".  I am one of these plantitos you see, but I am a special kind of plantito.  I specilize in cactus.  I therefore, is what you call a CACTITO.  Gets?

The Pinoy Shutterbug: Moon Edition 1

One of my favourite subjects is the moon.  We had a SUPERMOON the other night but I was not able to capture it.  Fortunately, tonight the moon is still big and bright.  So, I took some shots with my Samsung NX2000 with the 50-200 OIS telephoto lens.
