Aperture Wonders

Tried out this programme called Aperture on these photos in school and the result is goood.
For best view, turn your monitor to 100% brightness for mac users.

It lingers for awhile

Sometimes life just goes spiraling down and we all complain that life has as much obstacles as the numerous thorns on the cactus


However, if we view the obstacles that we go through from another angle, the process is beautiful as it shows opportunity for growth and maturity


So, always try to view things from a different angle. Be a little different from the rest.


Esplanade esplanade esplanade.

A rather random post in which i used some of the photos that I've taken from today to form a little philosophy.

More and more

My Favourite Things in my House

Very good for destressing :D


Titled: Bouquet.




To conclude,
I love red and green! ^ ___ ^

Mad painting

So i did my "mad" painting work and yet again blogged at a crazy timing and it just proved that I must be becoming an insomniac.


When the heat becomes too much for me,
You are the one I that depend on.
When it starts to get gloomy,
You are the one I depend on.
When it starts to get fine,
I put you aside.

The years went by,
Again and again, I depended on you when I am in need
Not realizing you're getting worn out.
I took you for granted
The stormy day came
I took you out
and realized what's wrong with you

So now,
take your deserved rest for all these years
For you're irreplaceable
You are one of a kind
You are my mother.


I came out with this sort of a poem thing while i was on the mrt, thinking about Mother's Day. Right then, I also thought about how my mom as been through with me all these years. Then I also remembered how my mom would always dye a hair black recently just to hide her grey hairs(shhh!), fall so easily asleep on the sofa while watching tv and it just daunted on me that she's no longer young (even though she's still young at heart).

I remembered the days that we played "police and thief", except that this time the police carries her baton-the cane that when we were a kid hates. Of course, no matter how nice a person is, he/she would surely have a time where they hate their mother for their naggyness etc...but there are also time where you appreciated them without really realizing it because we took them for granted.

All of us hate it when our parents reprimand us, however if we can look deeper, the only reason that majority of our parents scold us is because they love us and they really love us then what we all imagined. Besides, which parent on Earth don't love their own child? Even though there may be a generation gap between us and them, we have to remember that they're a parent for their first time! When we turned 5 years old, they're being a first time parent to a 5 year old, when we turned 13, it's also their first time being a parent of a 15 year old kid and so on. So therefore, all of us should be patient with them because they're still learning.

Have any of us wondered how life would be if your parents isn't around anymore?

No more free food that magically appears in the fridge, no one reminding you to sleep early, no one to force you to eat your fruits and veggie, no one to stand your tantrum when you really have to throw one, and no one to correct you when you're wrong when you're really wrong.

Humans are weird. We only learn how valuable is something that we detested and dread after it's gone. It's a common mistake that we all do because we never realize that one day they can just disappear from the face of the Earth without warning.
Perhaps the reason why there's such a thing called death in this world, is to teach us how to treasure the people around us because their lives aren't permanent.

Honor our parents no matter what.

All that I have

This is all I have, though this gift is small, it doesn't mean that it's not good. Whoever says that being a lawyer or a doctor is the only way of living well? At the end of the day, will it make you happy working in something you don't like? Most parents would tell their kids that when they grow up, they should become a doctor or a lawyer or a professor, how many would encourage their children to be an artist, a musician, a game designer or even a photographer? Does money or working in white collar companies equate to happiness?

Living in a world that is so stereotyped in what is good or not, we often committed the same mistake of following our peers or people in doing things that we THINK is good and forgo things that we love to do. The way that an object is designed determines it's destiny. The stripes, design of it's claws and teeth on the tiger means that it's destined to be a predator. The wings on an eagle shows that it's destined to fly high and mightily in the sky, and it would be funny to see it instead of flying, it's pecking corns all day with the chickens.


Similarly, the way that we're "designed", the talents that we have and what we really like to do, determines our destiny. What are you created for? Don't know? Then ask the one above. Everyone has something that they're good at, and there's no exception. All it takes is a leap of faith.

Life and crashes

Sometimes I wonder what lies ahead
How long till my hunger is fed
They say it's hard to make it in this part of town
So many people on this merry-go-round

Some folks try astrology
Some turn to crystal balls
To find an answer,
To get through it all
I just fall on my knees and I try to pray
In the silence I can hear Him say

The river runs and the river hides
Out to the ocean and under the sky
I promise you, the answer will come
Hold on to patience and watch for the sign
Everything in its time

I often feel like I'm two steps behind
Somebody must have moved that finish line
There are a thousand reasons
Why I should give up
But I'm stubborn in the things I believe

The river runs and the river hides
Out to the ocean and under the sky
I promise you, the answer will come
Hold on to patience and watch for the sign

'cause maybe there's another plan
One I still can't see
A little surprise, like your love in my life
Funny how time changes how we see

The river runs and the river hides
Out to the ocean and under the sky
I promise you, the answer will come
Hold on to patience and watch for the sign
Everything in its time
Everything in its time
