people change

the red shoe is not mine.

those shoes I borrow from google image bank in order to write this post.

love the pink baby shoe so much.

perhaps the shoes will show how we change, at least physically.

do you change ?

or, you’re still the same old you ?

lately, i could sense closely how people transform due to the wheel of change moves on.

the quote below anwers me :

we did not change as we grew older;
we just became more clearly ourselves.

See you

HAN - SIN - MDC - SIN - HAN

all our luggages are packed
me and cemara are ready to go tomorrow
that’s the itinerary of our trip
on monday our little family will reunite

mdc, with the palm trees, fresh air,
beach front, warm sands,
blue sky, good food,
and my better half next to me

see you . . .

What is Love ?

What is love?

As far as I can tell, it is :
1. passion,
2. admiration, and
3. respect.

If you have two, you have enough.
If you have all three, you don’t have to die to go to heaven.

(By William Wharton)

I read the above quote today in one of the articles at Marie Claire’s latest edition. A very powerful vitamin (read : quote) for couples.

Title : The Huc Bridge

This is the wooden red-painted bridge which connects to Ngoc Son Pagoda, located at the famous Hoan Kiem Lake in Hanoi. I had taken a lot of photos of this bridge every time I went there to take friends who visited me here in Hanoi. And I never got satisfied with the photos since I wanted to capture it without anybody passing by on the bridge in the middle of busy day at the pagoda. Finally, after more than a year living here in Hanoi and went to Ngoc Son Pagoda for 7 times, I managed to do it.

note : my camera is still kaputt

Title : Firewood

Don’t you agree that all the food cooked by firewood always tastes better? It will have an added distinguished fragrance. The photo was taken in Van Giang Village during my last photo hunting trip. Arrrggghhh… remembering the food cooked by firewood makes the missing feeling of home gets into my head again.

Home, I am counting the days . . .

An afternoon chat that I managed to capture between two ladies, exchanging stories before they headed home.
