Since group buying sites have been popularized in the Philippines, I would find myself buying deals even though I know I don’t need it. Talk about being an impulsive shopper. So anyway, one of the deals that caught my attention was the bargain for a toy camera in Cashcashpinoy!

Uhuh, only for 350 pesos, I got two Vivitar EZ35! I am not really sure what is the real price for this kind of toy camera but sure it’s a bargain! I decided to give the other one to J. Hihi lol
I am not a professional photographer yet I love taking pictures, may it be an ant or a portrait. It’s such a joy for me keeping moments through capture images. I have thought (long ago) of really engaging into photography but it is an expensive hobby… So I’d probably make that happen when I have a good paying job already. lol
Oh, I got the cameras a week before the delivery date they posted. I was shocked that someone knocked on our gate because I wasn’t expecting any package. Anyway, when I held the package pouch, I was even more shocked that it weighed like nothing.

So anyway, I bought 36 shots film two weeks ago and had J developed it and convert it into digital photos just last week. I’ve been looking for a Digiprint branch but the one in Megamall is closed already (oh, correct me if I’m wrong but the information desk lady said there’s no longer Digiprint in their list, what!). J had it done in Photoline in Rob Forum instead (formerly Pioneer).
He’s going to get the cds today and I really hope that there are real shots in there!!! Just so you know, this toy camera doesn’t need battery to operate. It has that wheel where you have to rotate so the film will roll inside. What can I say, it spells old and vintage.

Also, it doesn’t have auto film rewind so I had to do the work. However, having no idea about real old cameras, I probably would had exposed the film because.. Hmm, when I tried rewinding the film with the cover closed, the film tears up. ): and so I had to open it and lift the square holes from the wheel so it wont tear. Oh, I just hope the film money and digitalizing the photos wont go to waste. Grr.

Yes, you can add a flash by the way! Oh, let’s just keep our fingers crossed for my film to have something in there. lol all the photos’ subject was our cat, Percy hahaha! I’ll be posting the photos (my fingers are crossed!!!) once it’s out! TTFN.
