I was having fun in the beach when I noticed the sky.. That weekend had rained a lot and I guess it was the weekend for rainbows. I don't know how this form in the sky.. but I wish I did. It was beautiful in person!
For a class i have to take a self portrait defining who we are. i decided to go against the typical layout of a sp and try this instead. like it? And after this i really really need to invest in a sturdy tripod
But lend me your heart
and I'll just let you fall
Lend me your eyes
I can change what you see
But your soul you must keep totally free-mumford and sons

Most of my presents this year were not particularly photogenic items (books, CDs, DVDs etc)
But Lego *alway* deserves a photo.

I took this shot from Fort Baker looking out towards the Bay Bridge in San Francisco just as the sun was coming up over the horizon.

“Stay awake, for you know neither the day nor the hour.” (Matthew 25:13)
MEDITATION
“… it’s not about going to a store to stock up on supplies. Staying awake means looking at how we spend our time and making sure that we’re putting the Lord first and cultivating our Love for Jesus, our Bridegroom.
“Look back over this past week. Think about the decisions you made and how they reveal what is important to you. Is there one priority you could reshape that would help you be closer to where you need to be when the Bridegroom returns?
PRAYER
“Jesus, thank You for inviting me to Your wedding feast! Help me be ready for You!”
Excerpt #meditation and #prayer from @wordamongus complete reflection @ www.wau.org
—————-
Jesus said to HIS disciples: "Stay Awake! For you do not know on which day your Lord will come. Be sure of this: if the master of the house had known the hour of night when the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake
and not let his house be broken into.
So too, you also must be prepared, for at an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come." ~ Matthew 24:42-51
MEDITATION
"The Lord Jesus calls us to be vigilant in watching for HIS return and to be ready to meet HIM when HE calls us to HIMSELF. The Lord gives us HIS Holy Spirit so that we may have the wisdom, help, and strength we need to turn away from sin to embrace God's way of Love, Justice, and Holiness.
“The Lord's warning of judgment causes dismay for those who are unprepared, but it brings Joyful Hope to those who eagerly wait for HIS return in glory. God's judgment is good news for those who are ready to meet HIM. Their reward is God HIMSELF, the source of all Truth, Beauty, Goodness, Love and Everlasting Life."
PRAYER
“Lord Jesus, You have captured my heart and it is Yours. Take it that I may have You alone as my treasure and joy. Make me strong in Faith, steadfast in Hope, and generous in Love that I may seek to please You in all things and bring You glory.”

"letting go gives us freedom, and freedom is the only condition for happiness. if, in our heart, we still cling to anything - anger, anxiety, or possessions - we cannot be free"
-Thich Nhat Hanh
that was an excerpt from a book called The Heart of the Buddha's Teaching i've been reading. finish the first Hunger Games but hasn't had time to start on the second one yet. i am still clinging on to my goal of not tending to any media an hour before bed time (eg., tv, computer.) it's been working out really great! with all the events that i been going through this past week today was a much needed relaxation.
courage is the power of letting go of the familiar...
"Awake"
South Korea
Went to Seoul for vacation last December, we stay at a Seoul Backpacker Hostel, it was a convenience location, near to subway, lot of eating place, most important, it was 2 steps away from Namdaemun Market (is the biggest traditional market in Korea selling children's clothing, men & women's clothing, ... -- my wife love it!)
Along the way out from the hostel, it was a narrow street, passing by some 3 stories houses, cables connecting from building to building, electric poses every way...

Tom Otterness (b. 1952 in Wichita, Kansas) is an American sculptor whose works adorn parks in New York---
most notably in Rockefeller Park in Battery Park City and in the 14th Street/8th Avenue subway station---and other cities around the world. His style is very cartoonish and cheerful, and the forms of his sculptures often consist of many blobs and pipes, giving them a humorous look. These sculptures depict, among other things, huge pennies, pudgy characters in business suits with moneybag heads, helmeted workers holding giant tools, and crocodiles crawling out from under sewer covers. The main theme of his work seems to be the struggle of the little man against the Capitalist machine in a difficult and strange city.
As primarily a public artist, Otterness' has shown popular exhibitions in locations across the United States, including New York City, Indianapolis, and Beverly Hills. His studio is located in the DUMBO neighborhood in Brooklyn.
His most recent exhibition of public sculpture in Grand Rapids, Michigan is his largest to date, featuring more than 40 works across two miles of the city's downtown area and at Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park.
Otterness is best known to New Yorkers for his "Life Underground" series of sculptures, which are primarily located in the 14th St/8th Avenue subway station, which was commissioned in 2000 and fully installed by 2002.
Journalist Gary Indiana criticized Otterness for an independent work done while part of the East Village art scene in the mid-eighties called "Shot Dog Piece", in which Otterness allegedly "adopted a dog and then shot it to death for the fun of recording his infantile, sadistic depravity on film." When student Matthew Goad, a candidate for student government president at Wichita State University, learned of this act, Wichita State began questioning a USD$450,000 commission, which would cost an additional USD$150,000 for shipping, however, at present it looks as if the project continued may as planned. Otterness commented that "In 1977, I was a young artist having a very rough time. I had anger at myself and at the world. What I did was symbolic of how I was feeling internally and it is something I would never do today.

Awake - Every morning I normally wake up much earlier than the rest of the house to get ahead. It normally involves me snooping around in the dark to make a large coffee and getting out my laptop to get on with some editing and emails. It's probably the only quiet moment I get all day, unless my little man is at nursery and hubby is at work. I'm knackered, but I enjoy the quiet time. And I often can be super productive - once that coffee is down my neck!
