I got 2 web cameras now installed in my pc. I found the new
one, a4tech, from my late sister
lyza’s box of mementos. I thought I rather have it fixed in the computer than
keep it there inside the box. I noticed it has better resolution than my old Creative webcam. I took some samples, web
shots of myself and applied soft focus
effect in my lips. I tried also some black
and white effect in my partially covered face.

Imagine the following:
You have just made it through your wedding ceremony and step out onto  the church steps. The photographer raises his camera. Following your family tradition, both of you hold white doves which you will release  together. You and your new bride stand shoulder to shoulder with a dove in your hands as your friends and relatives eagerly wait. The  photographer gives the ready signal and you open your hands toward the sky. Not a dry eye in the house, the camera flashes; the moment is saved for eternity…. 

NOW SCROLL DOWN

By the time the Lord made woman,
He was into his sixth day of working overtime..

An angel appeared and said,
"Why are you spending so much time on this one?"
And the Lord answered, "Have you seen my spec sheet on her?
She has to be completely washable, but not plastic,
Have over 200 movable parts, all replaceable
And able to run on diet coke and leftovers,
               

Have a lap that can hold four children at one time,
Have a kiss that can cure anything from a scraped knee to a broken heart
-and she will do everything with only two hands."

The angel was astounded at the requirements.

"Only two hands!? No way!
And that’s just on the standard model?
That’s too much work for one day.
Wait until tomorrow to finish."

But I won’t," the Lord protested.
"I am so close to finishing this creation that is so close to my own heart.
She already heals herself when she is sick
AND can work 18 hour days."

The angel moved closer and touched the woman.
"But you have made her so soft, Lord."

"She is soft," the Lord agreed,

"but I have also made her tough.

You have no idea what she can endure or accomplish."

"Will she be able to think?" asked the angel.

The Lord replied,

"Not only will she be able to think,

She will be able to reason and negotiate."

The angel then noticed something,
And reaching out, touched the woman’s cheek.
"Oops, it looks like you have a leak in this model.
I told you that you were trying to put too much into this
one."

"That’s not a
leak,"

The Lord corrected,

"that’s a tear!"

"What’s the tear
for?" the angel asked.

The Lord said, "The tear is her way of expressing her
joy,

Her sorrow, her pain, her disappointment, her love,
Her loneliness, her grief and her pride."
The angel was impressed.

"You are a genius, Lord.
You thought of everything!

Woman is truly amazing."
