AND THAT CONCLUDES MY BAGUIO TRIP

Why I love Photoshop... :D

The first time I actually loved Adobe Photoshop was last year. Years before that, maybe like 8 or 9, when I was then interested in computer and graphics, I always wanted to own a Adobe Photoshop program. When I saw a program name on my cousin's laptop that says "Adobe Photoshop 7" I said to him: "Hey, can you give me the program installer of Photoshop?", then he agreed to install Photoshop in my laptop. I was very happy, because for the first time I was able to use Adobe Photoshop. I loved it, I loved editing with it. It was the basis of my "Photoshop Education". Months passed and I learned a lot from the Adobe Photoshop 7. But I was still not satisfied, because I wanted to have Photoshop CS3, the latest and best version. I was still using the Photoshop 7, until my laptop broke. I lost my files and more especially the Photoshop. Time passed because my laptop was being repaired. When the laptop was fixed I was taking real good care of it. Weeks passed and I missed using Photoshop for fun and learning. I then found out about a torrent sharing site. I looked up Adobe Photoshop CS3 and then I found and it took 3 days to download. I was also happy because I downloaded the Extended version instead so it was more advanced. Until now I still use the program and loving it.
