CDR King Camera Flash TT520 Review

Some might say that photography is an expensive art to practice. Somehow the statement is true, but for those who are passionate about photography, it's not expensive. Since I am not planning for practicing photography in full time, I've decided to purchase some gears that might help me get a better shot compared with just using Adobe Photoshop to improve my image quality.  Last 2013, While browsing for a decent USB flash disk in CDR King at SM Clark, my eyes stumbled upon a familiar looking item. It's a external camera flash for DSLR, without any hesitations, I asked the store clerk to show me the item. It's a CDR King Camera Flash TT520. I have trust issues when it comes to items that has been purchased at CDR King since most of the items I bought is... a huge f***ing failure. So for 3 years of using CDR King's TT520 external flash, i'll give my own personal review on the so-called "first photography gear released by CDR King. Physical Built...

The Reason why I don't Install Anti-Virus Program in my Desktop PC

When I was new to desktops and computers, local technicians and computer (shops) parts sellers always recommend having anti-virus software to prevent my computers from viruses and malware. As a kid, I don't have any luxury of purchasing premium anti-virus software such as AVG, Kaspersky, or Avira anti-virus software. Computer software such as AVG or Avira cost like 2500-4000 pesos. And as an average class B student like me who had an average of 1000 pesos allowance per week cannot afford software like that. The only choice I can make before is to get free version of Anti-virus software like AVG or Avira free version.
