A Day At Be Resorts Mactan

Mica came here to Cebu for a short vacation and Be Resorts invited her for a day tour. Fortunately, she tagged me along.

Trying Out My Canon 1000D: Backyard Test Shots

Last Wednesday I got the Canon EOS 1000D I ordered locally. Thanks to Iggy who inspired me into buying an entry-level DSLR, I can now pursue my photography frustrations. My EOS 1000D kit came in with the zoom lens EF-S18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS.

I am still a newbie DSLR-user so the shots may not be really awesome — plus our backyard’s not really good-looking too. (Note: I did not use manual mode in shooting, I adjusted the aperture and ISO myself.)

I am not yet really good at macro shots though.

Here is the complete set on Flickr:

Any suggestions? Comments? ;-)

Medicine Brands Tapping Social Media

It wasn’t much of a surprise when medicinal brands started seeping into social networking sites long ago. The day social networking was discovered to be an effective marketing weapon, brands and businesses of every type (from food to apparel and then medicine) has tried to establish a strong web presence and get hold of a large number of ‘fans’.

Medicine brands campaign using social media: the new cliche.

Take for example, Facebook. Facebook is not just your ordinary person’s favorite social network. It’s not just all about faces. Facebook is also a good advertising avenue. And medicinal brands didn’t lag behind.

Probably the noisiest medicinal brand in Facebook would be Alaxan FR.
