Today is Valentine day 2006. Instead of roses, I select the love fishes to celebrate this day with Flickr member. This fish,in Japan, is called "Koi" which means Love. It's quite difficult to take photo of fast moving fishes with sunlight in shade. Photo is taken at Chok Chai farm house, Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand.
To take this shot, I inclined more than half body over the pond and my friend just held my hand preventing me falling down to the pond. However, I dropped skylight filter into the water, but got it back later.
Which love fish do you like ?
... A lasting investment till the tide comes in but please don't tell anyone that.
Up for grabs : A vast expanse of real estate gound overlooking the sea at Royan in France. Ideal for building castles on or hotels if you're into Monopoly.
Prices : Negotiable at low tide and when the coast is clear.
For further details, please contact Sandy & Co., Honest Brokers.
Beware of sharks at all times and in all forms!
And remember, if your finances do dry up, running water is yours for the taking twice a day to tide you over.
And, major tax cuts are on the horizon. Just imagine, you'll be able to see your tax cuts every day!
Shot on location near the sea, would you believe.

My first language is Cebuano and I thought my vocabulary of the language is adequate. Was I wrong. Recently, in the Cebu Pool, we discussed the meaning of mabulokon, as in the traditional greeting Mabulokong Bag-ong Tuig for the new year. I argued that the word means meaningful. Later on, I learned mabulokon really means colorful. So to you all, Mabulokong Bag-ong Tuig! (And we have 5 hours more left here in New York- tick tock...)

Ramena beach is popular to both tourists and locals. Situated in just one of the 3 gigantic bays of Diego Suarez, the immaculate white sand coast of Ramena is among the numerous pristine beaches that enveigle the senses of sunlovers. For locals however, public buses are scarce except during Sunday when day beach trips become regular for those who want to partake of a piece of paradise. We took a taxi to this beach on a Sunday and with 20 kilometers of beach to choose, empty stretches are the rule and crowds are non-existent.
For the nearly 3 hours that we were there, I chose to skip taking a dip. I practiced with my Rebel camera as the lighting was perfect and the people could not be any more generous with their smiles- or in the case of this child leaning on her napping mother, her lazy stare.

Of the countless frolicking children competing for my attention, these two are just those whom you could not refuse. They may have little in life but are rich in energy and hope. Pure in spirit and boundless with charm, they appreciate their beach like no other.

Sing with her:
Shiny happy people laughing
Meet me in the crowd
People, people
Throw your love around
Love me, love me
Take it into town
Happy, happy
Put it in the ground
Where the flowers grow
Gold and silver shine
(chorus)
Shiny happy people holding hands
Shiny happy people holding hands
Shiny happy people laughing
Everyone around, love them, love them
Put it in your hands
Take it, take it
There's no time to cry
Happy, happy
Put it in your heart
Where tomorrow shines
Gold and silver shine
(repeat chorus)
Hey, here we go!
Shiny Happy People

The cookie on the saucer is a Madeleine, which Proust immortalized in Remembrance of Things Past.
Neste dia de mar e nevoeiro
É tão próximo o teu rosto
São os longos horizontes
Os ritmos soltos dos ventos
E aquelas aves
Que desde o princÃpio das estações
Fizeram ninhos e emigraram
Para que num dia inverso tu as visses
Aquelas aves que tinham
uma memória eterna do teu rosto
E voam sempre dentro do teu sonho
Como se o teu olhar as sustentasse
(Neste dia de Mar e Nevoeiro – Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen)
Miami Dolphins Cheerleaders
"Miami has the Dolphins,
The greatest football team!
We take the ball from goal to goal,
Like no one's ever seen!
We're in the air,
We're on the ground,
We're always in control.
So when you say Miami,
You're talking Super Bowl!
Cause we're the Miami Dolphins,
Miami Dolphins,
Miami Dolphins Number 1
Yes we're the Miami Dolphins,
Miami Dolphins,
Miami Dolphins Number 1."

"Somewhere over the rainbow...way up high
There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow...skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.
Someday I'll wish upon a star and wake up where the clouds are
far behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops away above the chimney
tops...
That's where you'll find me.
Somewhere over the rainbow... blue birds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow--why then oh, why can't I?
If happy little blue birds fly beyond the rainbow...
Why oh, why can't I?"
"Somewhere over the Rainbow"
Judy Garland
"And I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors, true colors
True colors are shining through
I see your true colors
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow..."
"True colors"
Cindy Lauper
"Suppose I were to tell you that the meaning of dreams
is not all that it seems and the ultimate truth is a lie.
Looking at me you see yourself
I am a mirror.Every face is someone else.
Look at me smile and you're the clown. And if I dance you turn around.
Look in my eyes and see your tears until the music disappears.
And the meaning of life is a mystery though we live it from day to day.
But the music of live should be harmony so that anyone here can play."
"I am a mirror"
Alan Parsons Project
