To be honest with you, It's been a long time since I heading toward B&W. My brain just couldn't process how to shoot in color any more. So I just shot this in B&W Style(Just thrown a stack of NDs and shoot . It's very refreshing though and I think the result quite amazingly fun indeed.

 

I just went on trip last weekend(memorial's day) to Las Vegas. Just before I took off. My phone rang and It was Noi-Waleetorn Called and ask to join the trip to Las Vegas to visit one of my friend Komkrit for his Solo Photography Show at "Spring Preserve Las Vegas"Komkrit's Exhibition,Komkrit's Blog

  

So we drove through the traffic and get there around almost 10:00 pm. and met up with my friend before head to bed at around 2:45 am. The next morning we start at his show which is quite amazing and I'm not saying this because he is my friend. If you guys've got a chance should go see it by yourself.

 

I'll write more about this trip soon, since this is one of the amazing trip I've had for a while and I would love to Blog this on my flickr for sharing with you guys, Thanks for reading ;-) There is more to come.

Lifetime Dream # 57 of my list of 155: I will completely quit smoking, improving my health and physical endurance. I will be able to beat any and all cravings that come into my life, never having to be under the influence of nicotine and its damaging effects on the body again.

Completed On: January 5, 2006, and August 28, 2009

 

I did not begin smoking until I was in college, and I started up for all the wrong reasons (stress, boredom, friends, etc.). I knew at the time that smoking was addictive, but I really didn’t know the “scale” of addiction. Sugar and carbs are addictive, but nicotine is the second most addictive substance known to man. Wow… had I known that I probably would have thought twice about starting.

 

Cigarettes were my friend through a lot of dark times, a lot of fun times. Through many road trips, road gigs, and good times… but it was a dark stain that I really loved and hated all in the same breath of smoke. I still remember thinking “I envy those people who never started, because they have no idea the battle that this is…” We all have our battles in life… some just more than others.

 

I tried everything to quit. Cold turkey. Hypnosis. Nicorette gum. The Patch. I even locked myself in my parent’s house to break the addiction and get the chemicals out of my body. In the end, the miracle was will power, Chantix, and United Healthcare. I had been feeling very, very poor. I felt a stroke was coming at every breath, and yet I couldn’t seem to muster the strength to quit on my own. The company that I work for, United Healthcare, decided to cover the quit smoking medication at 100%. Had they not done that, I’m not sure that I ever would have quit.

 

It wasn’t a breeze, but it was much easier. I had every side effect possible, but it was worth it. I put on weight but it was worth it. This was always a gateway dream: a dream that I had to complete if I ever wanted to complete some of the others on my list… thanks again United Healthcare!

April 7, 2010-- Currently my nails are longer than they have ever been, other than when I had acryllic nails. This is because I haven't bitten my nails in 3 weeks. :)

I haven't worn a tie for around 8 years. I hate the feeling around my neck. But maybe, just maybe, I might start again. It was funny seeing people who've never seen me wear a tie. I've been friends with Colin 7 years now and he's never seen me in a tie. I wanted something to match this beautiful delicate floral shirt. I like this suit too.

 

It was a dreadfully hot day, Caroline drove me but luckily her car has efficient air-con. We got stuck in terrible traffic on the M25 and arrived just as the doors were closing 2 minutes ahead of the bride. Phew!
