There are a lot of things we can learn from the nature around us. Take an example, ants.

They are hard worker, team player, and social creatures.

They stick together when life seems to be uphill…

And they work together when things in life going downhill…

Even when everything seems like doesn’t make sense and upside down.

Been in these kind of situation before? I believed we been through this many times in our life, and guess what?

Life still goes on!

Have a blessed day guys! :D

They’re both based on WW2 propaganda, one Soviet and the other American.

They’re probably too politically subversive, but you never know. You read about what I’ve been getting up to lately, artistically that is, here.

I often get this answers from them: too lazy, too busy, too tired, or they even claim not having the time to do it. Some of the girls has a very smart answer: I do shopping once in awhile, I walk all day from one shopping mall to another one, from 1st to 7fl (imagine wearing that high heels! They’re unbelievable! Sometimes I do admire them). But the complaining stop when the doctor finally tell them to do some routine workout :)

A little trick with Lumix DMC-FZ18, I know it’s not much, but some experiment could make me a better shooter -I hope :)

She was taking a breath when she saw me holding camera in front of her.

Immediately I gave her sign language, pointing to my camera and to her. She just smile and nodded.

I quickly took this photo…

Midnight Tailor

After that I gave her a thumbs up, bowed slightly thanking her and both of us returned to our separate own world.

It’s a bit difficult to take photos, as all passengers gathered at the left windows of the bus, and most of them were children.  :)

Using indigo dye, jeans are dyed to a blue color. About 20 million tons of dye are produced annually, but only a few grams of the dye are required for each pair of pants.

Blue jeans

I got few questions for all of you:

1. How many pairs of jeans you have currently?

2. How many times or how long you wear your jeans before it finally you washed it?

3. Do you preferred buttons or zippered jeans?

Yes, it always feels dreadful on Monday, after all the fun over and piles of work waiting on your desk in the office.

That’s why we give you this topic on Monday morning to help your eyes grew bigger and blood flowed slightly faster. :D

Remember last weekend when I shared about how I dragged my feet for almost whole week at night looking for nice buildings to shoot?

It turned out to be an interesting photo trip!

Just check this out!

PDA

These unique encounter happened for almost about 15-20 minutes.

Maybe these couple inspired by John Legend’s PDA (We Just Don’t Care) song?

For those who haven’t seen the lyrics, here it is:

Let’s go to the park
I wanna kiss you underneath the stars
Maybe we’ll go too far
We just don’t care
We just don’t care
We just don’t care

You know I love it when you’re loving me
But sometimes it’s better when it’s publicly
I’m not ashamed, I don’t care who sees
us hugging and kissing, a love exibition, oh

We’ll rendezvous out on the fire escape
I’d like to set off an alarm today
A love emergency don’t make me wait
Just follow, I’ll lead you
I urgently need you

…AND SO ON! :)

What is your opinion about PDA guys? God forbid? Love it? Or just knew it? Come on, shower me with your thoughts! :)

(Kids, don’t try this near home!)

Have a splendid week ahead! :D

Family, lover, friends, money, career, health? How about, time?

When you rush with something new, excited, something that you can’t be patient with it, when.. you feel that 24 hours a day isn’t enough.

watch

If I can freeze the time, if I can rewind everything, if I just could stay with the worries of 10 years old kid, a spirit of 20’s, the wisdom of 30’s, and the love of my life.. would you call me a daydreamer?

PS: And yes! This is definitely not Swiss Army ad :)
