First and foremost, at last, we have power back up! It seems like my house was the last one to get it back up, damn that storm Basyang. There. 0000-RANT-EXIT. EXIT (Full-Stop).
Last Saturday, my string just gave up. Hahaha! Its been more than three months now since I replaced the string of my badminton racket. Maybe I'm not playing that hard, but I'm working on it, and people said I'm really getting better (what a diversion for crying out loud, enough said). This one is RSL and does prove to be as durable as Yonex - or almost as durable. Used to be buying Yonex's which is around 400 bucks, this RSL is just around a hundred bucks. I think I'll be going for another RSL later. One more thing that I like about RSL strings is that they have a variety of colors. That small thing is a big deal to artsy partsy people like me, hahaha!
By the way, badminton racket right here is Prince's Oversize Sky. That's 85 grams +/- 2 with max tension of 28. Its head heavy, so smashers should be loving this. Talking bout price, I got it at Php 3,200 - not bad for an intermediate player's racket and I actually got this one year ago. So this should be a lot cheaper right now. Soon, if I go pro, I'll buy one of those expensive ones, hahaha! Soon... just see! Hahah!
Some photo stuff again! Took this photo right after my last hit using my first RSL string. Light is on the right, from the courts. Did some perspective thingy here to emphasize the subject and give it a big part of the frame. On post processing, I did my usual - level tweak. And here, I put a vignette (darker sides), still in photoshop. It does give the drama that I want in this photo, and also some lomo effect. And there we have it! :D
