Flash Diffuser for Pop-up or Built-in Flash
Php 350.00
The Spirit Pop Up Flash Diffuser mounts in the hot-shoe slot of digital cameras with a pop-up flash, greatly softening the quality of light. It's great for portraits, grabshots of people and closeups of objects (great for ebay photos!) It packs completely flat for convenient storage in your camera bag (or pocket!) and has eight different mounting positions for the perfect fit for any popup flash camera.
If you use your pop-up flash with a wide angle lens and shade, you've probably seen a really weird half-circle dark shadow at the bottom of your image. That's the shadow from your lens shade. When you put on the Spirit Pop Up Flash diffuser, the shadow is nearly eliminated.

Canon Speedlite 430ex II
Php 14,500.00 – cash
Php 16,120.00– 6 months to pay
CANON LOCAL WARRANTY
New features
For maximum flexibility and ease of use, the Speedlite 430EX II incorporates a number of new features. Recycle times have been reduced by approximately 20%, with the recycle process performed silently to minimise distraction. A new metal mounting foot with redesigned connection pins provides ultra-stable communication between the camera and flash; for rapid connection to the camera, a new quick release and locking mechanism is also incorporated.
Used in Manual mode, the Speedlite 430EX II offers settings in 1/3 stop increments for increased precision of operation. Plus – when used with compatible EOS cameras – every setting on the Speedlite 430EX II can be controlled via the camera menu system, allowing rapid, intuitive alteration of settings.
System flash
The Speedlite 430EX II is a key component of the integrated flash system for both analogue and digital cameras, and is fully compatible with the distance-linked E-TTL II system found on recent EOS cameras. It can also be used as a slave unit when combined with a master unit in a wireless flash setup.
White balance compensation
Slight variations in a flash gun’s voltage and brightness can destabilise white balance in respective frames during continuous shooting. The Speedlite 430EX II compensates for this by transmitting colour information from the flash to the camera. This information is then used to optimise the white balance setting for each individual image. This function works with the camera set to Auto WB or Flash Mode.
Matching sensor size
When mounted to compatible EOS digital cameras, the Speedlite 430EX II detects whether the sensor is full frame, APS-C or APS-H. The flash’s zoom position is then automatically adjusted, optimising flash coverage and the amount of charge needed per shot.
Fully featured for full control
Other features on the Speedlite 430EX II include 1st and 2nd curtain flash synchronisation, exposure compensation, and an expanded range of nine custom functions.
Accessories
The Speedlite 430EX II can be used with the following optional accessories: the Canon OC-E3 off-camera shoe cord and the Speedlite bracket SB-E2. Featuring a handy quick release/locking mechanism, the OC-E3 adds wired, short-range positioning flexibility to the Speedlite 430EX II. The Speedlite bracket SB-E2 is designed specifically for wedding and press photography and allows the Speedlite 430EX II to be mounted to one side of the camera – removing the harsh, unnatural shadows that can occur to one side of the subject when shooting in portrait orientation with a camera-mounted flash.

As an Atenean, I found this very personal. Too personal actually. To attack the 14 professors simply because their view contradicted with the supposed view of a Catholic institution is just too personal. What right does the Varsitarian have to make such a claim in the first place? Even if the whole UST population is for the bill, what right do they have to make such a public issue about Ateneo's personal stand? In the first place, the stand wasn't even for the whole Ateneo! It's was just 14 profs! I find this very disrepectful and a taint the writers of the Varsitarian.
As a journalist student, I find this situation very troublesome. Even if you are students, you can still be considered as a journalist because you write in a publication. Their editorial caused a great deal of disrespect for our ADMU profs, and that as a journalist, is unethical. Where are their ethics now? Have they even read the whole RH Bill and the stand of the profs? To accuse the profs of being dishonest, mediocre and anti-poor just because they are for the bill is simply outrageous. I'd like to think that the Varsitarian could have done better and would do better. Despite being a small issue, I think this calls for an apology from the side of the Vartsitarian's staff. This after all was an editorial, and therefore represendted the whole Vartsitarian. As a criticism, it might have worked, but with name calling? Then this becomes a personal attack, and no journalist should ever stoop to such a level.
A lot of people have been angered by this seemingly personal attack. I do not deny that I am one of them, but even more than anger, I feel distressed that student journalists would be in this state. What will the future journalists of our country be if our generation is like this already?
I posted the article below. Judge it for yourself.
Dishonest, mediocre, anti-poor
BY ISSUING a statement supporting the population-control bill, Reproductive Health (RH) Bill 5043, the 14 faculty members of the other Catholic university—Ateneo de Manila– betray the canker that may eat into any Catholic institution that, while inherently holy, has tendencies toward evil. Star Wars calls it the Dark Side, St. Thomas Aquinas calls it concupiscence. We simply call it intellectual dishonesty.
Since they teach in a Catholic institution, the 14 should either have the readiness to defend the Catholic position or at least have the sensitivity to refrain from doing something that would divide the Church. But not only do these self-proclaimed Catholic educators break away from the Catholic position and urge Catholics to do so: they twist Catholic teachings to suit their self-serving position.
Their distortions of the Catholic teachings on freedom of conscience and the centrality of the human person are shocking. If these teachers indeed have conscience, as they claim to be practicing in disagreeing with the bishops, it will be what the catechism calls as erroneous conscience. And what centrality of the human person are they talking about when RH bill 5043 seeks to make available contraceptives and abortifacients and pave the way for legalizing abortion by the use of millions of pesos that could otherwise go to direct provisions for maternal health and poverty? Population-control measures like RH bill 5043 look at the poor not as persons but as rabbits whose propagation must be checked. How could the poor have freedom of choice and conscience when the state, backed by hundreds of millions of pesos, compels them to take contraceptives and limit their children to two per couple? Were the Filipino poor neutered by the Marcos dictatorship and the Chinese families forced into complying with the one-child rule by the communists allowed freedoms of information, choice and conscience?
Even more shocking is the academic mediocrity of the professors. Their support for the population-control bill is backed by the intellectual school of doomsday social science, whose methods and claims have been questioned by more cautious, less panic-prone, and more socially responsible schools. A cursory review of the endnotes of their statement would reveal that their review of literature is narrow and shallow. It is as if social science had stopped with Malthus and Ehrlich.
They claim, for instance, that “a close association exists between our country’s chronic poverty and rapid population growth… [thus] curbing out population growth rate is a requisite of sound economic policy and effective poverty reduction strategy,” and that the bill aims to control population growth to arrive at a so-called “healthy” economy.
Their statement should at least belie Rep. Edsel Lagman’s claim that RH bill 5043 is a “healthcare” bill; it is not, it’s a population-control measure that harks back to the days of the dictator Marcos who enshrined family planning in the 1973 Constitution and made it a centerpiece of his “constitutional authoritarianism.”
But going back to the claim of the 14 doomsday pundits that there’s correlation between “chronic poverty” and population growth, it’s astonishing that a claim should be made when most recent literature have shown there’s none. Despite being in the academe, they have missed – or intentionally excluded? – important and authoritative studies on population and poverty that deny any link between the two.
The New York Times, Asiaweek, Far Eastern Economic Review, and Economist have declared overpopulation as among of the greatest hoaxes of the last century. Nobel-winning economists themselves such as Simon Kuznets have denied any negative correlation between population and economic growth. Meanwhile, Amartya Sen and Gary Becker have recommended that funds for birth control would be better used in directly addressing poverty.
Anti-health
But after repeating the tired litany of doomsday population economics, the 14 Horsemen of the Apocalypse just as casually turn to the alleged health benefits of a birth-control program for women, even if not a single one of them has a medical degree or any diploma remotely connected to the health sciences.
But the doctors, nurses and health professionals of UST, Human Life International-Asia, and Pro-Life Philippines know better. Pre- and post-natal care for women has nothing to do with contraceptives and abortion. Medical science can deal with pregnancy complications. If there’s high maternal and infant mortality, it is not because of unwanted pregnancy or pregnancy complications: it is because of the lack of health services. In the same manner, while many Filipinos die of TB and dengue, the public health budgets for combating these diseases are low compared to the tens of millions used for birth control, which basically looks at babies as diseases that need to be checked, contracepted, aborted.
Moreover, it does not follow that readily available contraceptives can improve the health of the people. Health experts say that pills, injectables, abortion suction, menstrual regulation machines, ligation, and vasectomy are in fact risky and could result in injuries, sickness, and even death.
It must be emphasized that “reproductive health” is not maternal health, which is the more embracing, the more medically correct concept to represent the holistic health care of women. RH bill 5043 is not a maternal health measure but a contraceptive measure: it looks at every pregnancy as “unwanted”; it looks at pregnancy as the cause and a compounding of poverty; it tries to check the fertility of women not because of any consideration for women’s health but for purposes of social engineering!
Anti-youth
Nor is the bill “pro-youth” for providing sex education to young people, as the 14 Wolf-criers claim. It would merely increase the chances of the youth engaging in the risky and reckless behavior that safe sex engenders.
Admittedly, information is the right of everyone. But could we expect quality and correct information and instruction from a government whose public education system are a shambles and whose health services are a disaster—and information and instruction for young people during their formative years? Moreover, since the paradigm and ideology of the bill itself are suspect, the course content of any instruction it seeks to provide is also suspect.
Leave sex education to the parents. They may not do a good job at it, but that’s all right since the state can’t seem to get anything right at all!
Pro-abortion, anti-life
Ah, but RH bill 5043 insists it promotes contraception to stop abortion. This is a bald-faced lie when one considers that most of the backers and their funders are pro-choice (read: pro-abortion). One of the signatories of the statement, Mary Racelis, claims in one article that “educated Catholics” should support the bill because it would curb abortions. She cites the “473,000” induced abortions allegedly performed in 2000 without even questioning the veracity of the figure. Worse, she cites the World Health Organization estimate that the abortions could have been double that figure—800,000 abortions!--without questioning how the UN body could have made such an extrapolation.
Any social scientist worth his salt or any Filipino with a modicum of education would easily make educated questions about such figures, considering that previous demographic estimates made in the name of birth control and safe sex have been widely off the mark, such as Thomas Malthus’s doomsday scenario in the 19th century of an overpopulated earth in the next century (“a libel inflicted on the human race,” said Karl Marx); Paul Ehrlich’s similar scenario in 1980 at the turn of the 21st century (he lost the wager with Julian Simon 10 years later, remember?); the projection by UN agencies and Philippine public health authorities in the early 1990’s that the Philippines would have some 10,000 HIV-Aids cases in 10 years because of low condom use (the country has only 3,000 now); the claim of gays they easily comprise 10% of the population (a projection exposed as limp); and the fantastic claim of the UN Fund for Population Assistance and the 1994 Cairo Conference that the “costed population package” to implement so-called reproductive health care services in developing countries by 2015 would total $77.7 billion with domestic contributions from the poor countries themselves who are supposedly beneficiaries of such services funding two-thirds of the cost!
Racelis and her fellow Ateneo divination experts should ask whether or not the same alarmist situation conjured by the UNFPA and Cairo is being used by the WHO, UNFPA and backers (or true authors?) of the Lagman bill to justify the initial tab to implement the RH bill—some P1.2 billion!
Jesuitical
The 14 themselves belong to an institution that has no apprehensions in getting funding from organizations that promote abortion. Together with the Packard Foundation, which promotes “safe and legal abortion” in other countries, Ateneo has put up the Health Unit—Ateneo Graduate School of Business in Leadership Innovations in Population Management. One wonders how Ateneo’s partnership with an abortion foundation dovetails with its setting up a medical school where students are supposed to make the Hippocratic Oath and uphold Catholic bioethics.
And the Ateneo Institute of Church and Social Studies has published a monograph with articles by social scientists from Ateneo and birth-control demographers from UP and other secular institutes (whose studies are cited by the Ateneo 14) that basically back the Lagman bill. The publication and the discussions were funded by a pro-choice organization.
In all of these cozy and cash-rich sleeping-with-the-enemy arrangements, Ateneo’s jesuitic nature seems to be showing indeed.
Anti-development
In any case, by equating women’s health with birth control, the 14 Grim Reapers betray their enslavement to the population ideology of the UN and its agencies and the population-control industry. They betray at least their academic mediocrity—perhaps ingrained by their arrogance—for not considering very relevant and trenchant studies that question the blurring between development and population funding.
The Ateneo professors should at least stop calling themselves “Catholic educators” or “educated Catholics.” For a truly educated Catholic view on population control, here’s the view of Cecilia Hadley and Maria Sophia Aguirre of the Department of Business and Economics of the Catholic University of America as published in the International Journal of Social Economics (2005 Vol. 32, Issue 9):
“During the last decade increasingly large amounts of money have been spent on limiting population growth of underdeveloped countries. Population control is seen as the corner-stone of development and population activities. Thus, population control has become ‘population assistance,’ and birth control has become ‘reproductive health services.’ Population control is pursued at the expense of women’s rights and to the detriment of real economic growth and social improvement.”
Moreover:
“Rather than helping countries and peoples, the continual focus on population assistance has left them desperate for other forms of aid. This focus has actually infringed upon human rights especially upon many women who do not understand the contraceptives they are being given. The large amounts of funds that developing countries are now exhorted to provide for support population measures drain resources better spent elsewhere on such things as reducing malaria and educating women. In short, ‘population assistance’ has usurped a great deal of the energy and funds of the international community without even empirical justification for such an approach to development issues and has resulted in a neglect for other areas of real need.”
We enjoin Thomasians, Ateneans, and all Catholics to be truly themselves—discerning and critical of issues, always seeking the light amid the darkness foisted on them by shadowy figures that include those who call themselves Catholics, educated, and educators. Let us all fight the grand deception of the population-control complex and reject RH bill 5043.
When I didn't make it to the DL, i was expecting my mom to explode and blame Babble all over again. But then lo and behold she didn't.
But tonight, she once again proved me right! It was only a matter of time and situation before she would bring that up.
I got home early today since training ended at 7:30. But the moment i got home, I wished training ended later. My mother was home all day because she was sick. When we got home however, she was acting as if she wasn't sick at all. She was actually screaming like there's not tomorrow and scolding us all.
She brought everything up when it came to me. Babble, grades, etc. She was all angry because I came home "late" - take note i came home so much earlier than usual - and that I didnt study because all my grades are "failing" marks.For her, last sem was a messed up semester simply because I didnt make it to the prestigious DL so she can't brag that her daughter is this and that. BS...is grades everything you can brag about?!
How about the fact that I got purely terror profs the whole first semester and had how many commitments yet I maintained an above average standing! Why can't she brag about that? Because it's not empirical? Geez.
She spent the whole night making me feel worthless, ungrateful, stupid and irresponsible. I felt so terrible because none of it was true. I wanted to answer back so much but I couldn't. i wasn't raised to defend myself even if I needed too. Which is why I'm such a weak perseon. I can't stand up for myself or for what I believe in. Because I always end up thinking that I'm wrong and stupid like what my mother never fails to remind me.
I wanted to have dinner so badly but thanks to all her words, I felt full even before I could reach out for the food. She didnt' seem to care. Amazing how much loving my mother is...
My mother seems to enjoy making me lead a miserable life. Honestly,. Whenever I start to have fun in something she leads me away because it's not HER way. She cant seem to separate the fact that although we look like sisters, I'm her daughter not her freaking twin. Even if I was her twin, I definitely still wouldnt' be her! So what I like isnt the same as what she likes and what she finds as fulfilling isnt the same as mine.
The best favor my mother can ever do for me is really to just keep her big bad mouth shut. Having it open moves me away from my focus and my personal strategy.
For people who think my parents are supporting, do think again. I swear I'd trade them in for yours anytime...
I barely saw my blockmates the whole day really, but that didn't stop me from having a great day. My day started off with a bang when I saw my crush walk down SecWalk! Yes that made me smile haha.
Afterwards, I kinda feel asleep in Sci10 because it was so cold and our prof's teacher was like a lullaby or something. Anyway, I think it's also credited to the fact that I had to get up really early to show up for PE. Even if I'm in babble I have to show up for PE on the first day to tell our teacher that I wasn't going to attend. I didn't mind only it kinda took a toll on my morning class with Sir Marquez. Anyway, will make sure I'm up next time.
After an hour of trying hard not to fall asleep, I ran to Bellarmine for my Chinese Language and Culture class. OH MY STARS okay. Our teacher was a girl pala, and guess what, she seems really nice. Also, the book we're using was the exact same one I used when I studied chinese 1. The coverage is the exact same thing too! I'm amazed at the same time oh so thankful because that gave me an edge. Also, I don't have to worry so much since I've been through it before. It's just a matter of totally mastering it now. God is so good!
I had a great time with Maxi during lunch. We ate at Sizzling pepper steak! My fave restaurant in katipunan! haha. He was having a hard time lately so to cheer him up we had a lunch date. Nothing serious, just a little sibling bonding. I'm glad it made him feel better.
My next class was News Writing with Ma'am Chay Hofilena. Okay, I gotta admit I was scared for this class, because it was 3-hours straight. But guess what, she wasn't at all dragging. Or maybe I just really liked her subject haha. Most of us are guidoneers there so it's kinda awkward, but I intend on stepping up. First thing I volunteered to be class beadle. I praise God for giving the courage to raise up my hand before anyone did. There are only 18 of us in class so I hope I'll do well as the beadle. It can't be that hard.
I ended the day with a trip to the gym! Planet Infinity I'm back! And I had so much fun with Kuya Aries, the trainer who designed my program. He's pretty amusing in a cute way hahaha. So anyway there. I have a great and tiring program but it's perfect because I can actually do a lot of it at home. I'm thinking of doing some stretching on TTH mornings before heading to school. That should keep me perky for my Sci10 class.
YEEEE Lord I am so excited for this sem! I feel good vibes!!
Praise God for a wonderful start!
I've experienced exploding once and it wasn't exactly the best experience. I was so suicidal that if I didnt have people to talk to I would probably have died by my own hand. I hate thinking about suicide, because it never solves anything. Then again, when you think about it logically, there are some things that people face which make them think that it's the last and sadly, the only thing they can do to escape their situation. It just like what our theo121 prof said in class, you can't really say if suicide is a sin because you don't know what people were thinking when they committed suicide.
At this very moment, i'm a jumble of emotions. So many things are happening. So many things that make me angry and hate people. But at the same time, I don't like hating the world. I don't like holding on to negative emotions. Hence, I try to see the brighter side of things. But even so, I can't let go. For some reason the world just won't make me forget why I have these negative things in me. I'm trying to be better I really am. But all the negativity in my life is just too much to bear already.
I'm on the brink of losing my sister already. She's been so attached to that person (not in love kay) that she barely listens to me already. I'm so tired of trying to show her that too much is too much, that I've decided to give up already. If she needs to learn the hard way, then fine. I'm tired of battling things out for her. She's a strong girl, she can make it through. However, I think that this situation may also be a period of reflection for me. I've always been protective of the people I care about. Although I take care not to boss them around - because I know how that feels and its definitely not the best thing in the world - I protect them too much from things that might hurt them. I protect them from people who try to break them. And maybe this is where my fault lies. I can't protect people if they don't want it in the first place. Maybe I should follow my own advice and let people fall down. I guess a lesson for me here is that I can't protect everyone, and I really should let them make their own mistakes. They'll surely learn in the end...
Today's my dad's birthday and guess what its the perfect time for my mom to lose her temper on all of us! It's all the maids' fault for always pissing her off. They've been here for how long already and they still haven't learned! I mean hello, I can do everything they do so much better, except probably cook and do the laundry. kASI NAMAN! Paano kaya nila maayos tong bahay eh wala silang ginawa kung hindi magtext ng magtext maghapon magdamag! Gosh! Daig pa ko magtext eh! So diba hello naman! Paano nga naman nila maayos yung bahay with that kind of work ethics diba?! Hay...geez. My mom's been taking out all her frustrations on us again and it's not really funny. For one, besides renewing her old speech: piano, quitting babble, walang ginawa kung hindi makipagsocialize (which I dont understand why this is bad?!), etc etc, she also started talking about how much all we do is spend money for gimmicks and yet for school supplies we make them pay. That kinda pissed me off considering it was them who said that we shouldn't pay for our school supplies but they won't spend for our pocket money when we go out with friends. That's exactly what we've done since high school! And just so she knows, I spend almost one-third of my allowance everyweek on school readings, and other school related expenses! Geez. I felt so betrayed when she started that. I don't see why she would do that. Okay I wanted to watch a concert with my friends, but I'm paying for it with the money I saved up specifically for that! Can anyone tell me what's wrong with that?! Honestly, that's just stupid. AND hello I MISSED ONE DAY OF PRACTICE! Gahd I've been practicing my piano throughout the whole sembreak! ONE DAY OKAY?! ONE FREAKING DAY! What is ONE DAY of missing that?! It's not like I'll get any better! I don't care about my piano or any instrument I've handled! I never had that much fun with them anyway. The only reason I'm holdling on to Babble is because its an escape from a life of responsibilities! And guess what, she hates that. I really can't understand my mother anymore. I don't see why she's so illogical. She bursts every single time she's angry without thinking about what she's saying. I guess that goes to show what her real personality is about.
Now she wants me to quit babble AGAIN. For the nth time since i started in babble she's been saying that! I just knew that this would come up again. She is ever so predictable. Once nasumbatan ka na about something, rest assured that it's only the beginning of a never ending series. Goodness. If there's one thing my mom should have done, it's read parentin manuals! All she's ever done is boss me around and force a diamond to turn into ruby! I'm like a fake ruby already okay! Stained with so much anger that I'm bloody red...
I honestly don't know what I'm supposed to learn from this. Maybe this is my personal journey to parenthood haha. Even at the age of 6 I already knew i wouldn't want to raise my kids like she did. it's just too painful and conditional. It's like unless you're absolutely flawlessly perfect, you won't be loved. Unfortumately, the only thing perfect about me is that i am the perfect definition of complete and utter imperfection for her. I actually acknowledge that. I know I'm imperfect, and guess what I love that I'm like that. I love that I'm not perfect, that I have flaws, and I rejoice in it. She on the other hand makes me feel so worthless. I don't understand why any mother would try to make their own child feel worthless just because she's not what they want. I'm everything she hates. I love going out, socializing, and going to parties. just because she's a homebody doesnt mean that I have to be stuck living a life like her, who's only joy is in watching koreanovelas and shopping for clothes that she sometimes doesnt even wear - which by the way totally pisses everyone in the family off. I'm just different from her traditional concept. I've always hated stereotypes and all my life all I've done is break them. She obviously doesn't approve. I must be such a messed up kid to have my own mother hate me, not to mention every other person I meet.
Geez God was I created to be hated all these years...its raining outside and I feel that it's always so timely. Whenever I'm depressed but can't cry, the rain comes by and washes my pain away just as tears would release the despair I feel inside...
This sembreak I actually went to do some stuff like that seminar in UST, and the Guidon outing, as well as Julia's 18th bday in Subic.
I got my first real photoshoot with her friends too. Haha. It wasnt expected actually. I didnt even know her friends up until that day we met. But hey, an SLR and willing models? How can you not have a photoshoot right?
I love the photos i took! Okay they're probably so amature-ish and all that, but hey, its the first time i actually took some photos that proved I learned something from my photography workshop last summer! I had so much fun that I can't wait for another photoshoot heehee.
I definitely want to invest on an external flash, a telephoto lens, and a kit lens with a 1.8 aperture! That will definitely give me the flexibility of taking photos for events. It's so hard to take photos in events when you don't have an external flash. Honestly, I think the internal flash of my camera just isn't strong enough.
Anyway, comment on my photos! They're in my multiply anyway. haha
