View On Black. It's 10,000 better.
Or should I say, "Got Here". Today marks the 10000th view on my stream. It's a milestone for me and I want to thank everyone who has visited my photostream. Flickr is such a nurturing place. It's a great environment for learning, inspiration, and friendship as well. I am greatly humbled and once again, thank you my flickr friends.

GET HERE
You can reach me by railway, you can reach me by trailway
You can reach me on an airplane, you can reach me with your mind
You can reach me by caravan, cross the desert like an Arab man
I don't care how you get here, just - get here if you can
You can reach me by sail boat, climb a tree and swing rope to rope
Take a sled and slide down the slope, into these arms of mine
You can jump on a speedy colt, cross the border in a blaze of hope
I don't care how you get here, just - get here if you can
There are hills and mountains between us
Always something to get over
If I had my way, surely you would be closer
I need you closer
You can windsurf into my life, take me up on a carpet ride
You can make it in a big balloon, but you better make it soon
You can reach me by caravan, cross the desert like an Arab man
I don't care how you get here, just - get here if you can
I don't care how you get here, just -- get here if - you can.

When she first told me she is getting married with her best buddy from school, i remained calm, you know kids' talk, it is fun. The 2nd time she told me, i asked a few questions just to know what was in her mind:
Mommy: why do you want to marry him?
Mia: oh, he is a good marcher.
Mommy: why not other boys?
Mia: those boys are just funny. plus, he said so, he told me to marry him, so i will marry him. (see~ girls are soft hearted)
Mommy: okay, you can get married when you are big.
Mia: no, we are getting married right now. can you buy me a WEDDING DRESS (*gasp*) like yours? it is too big for me, i need a smaller one. (what?! she is not just talking but wants to put it in action?)
okay, let me ask you guys, is this normal for 4-year-old kids commit to each other at this young age? HAHAHA! it is fun to hear what they have to say and get suprised by how much they know, isn't it?
26 August 2019, Bra, Italy - Nazarena Lanza Slow Food head of the Office for Africa & Middle East, introduces herself to the beneficiaries of the joint FAO and Slow Food Project at Slow Food headquarters in the city of Bra. Slow Food and the Food and Agrlculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) are organizing a study tour this week in northwest Italy for a group of Syrian small-scale women farmers. The two organizations have teamed up to enhance the skills of small-scale women food producers from Syria, all with the aim of supporting crisis-affected communities to regain or boost their livelihoods and reviving the country's agriculture sector. Ten Syrian women will learn from farming communities in Piedmont and Liguria regions that produce and promote local organic and artisan foods marked by high quality and respect for traditions. They are expected to gain knowledge on all aspects of production, marketing and value chains of a range of products - including dairy, honey, oil, cereals, breads and vegetables - and to pass on this knowledge to other women farmers in their communities upon their return. They will also be included in the global Slow Food network of local farmers so that they can continue learning and sharing knowledge and experiences.

this week i was trying to work on my backgrounds, making them have depth and movement, this is only my second acrylic painting, so I like the background, I am not happy with the whole thing, but I always seem to be at the bottom of the U with my art....I am inspired by Penelope Dullaghan penelopeillustration.com/ I still need to get better control for fine lines, I am used to carving in clay for my main picture, so soft brushes are quite a jump!

Here I am all covered up in Doha, Qatar, relaxed after arriving at my destination.
In general, getting around is Qatar is tough when you don’t have your own car. The only reliable means of travel is by taxi. But don’t assume you can hail one on the street, because there are no sidewalks to speak of. Hailing a cab from the middle of a traffic circle can work, but it takes guts and a little mad inspiration, and you’re best off hailing cabs that are coming in your direction – no one will turn around to pick up a fare.
The best way to get a taxi is in front of one of the hotels or the malls. Karwa, as the company is called, is easily spotted by their pleasant seafoam green coloring, which sticks out from the black, silver, and white SUVs everyone else drives. Try to ignore the teenagers who cruise around mall parking lots trying to give you a ride.
Don’t get in any non-Karwa taxis unless you’re with a local, or at least someone who speaks Arabic well and can bargain the driver to a normal price. Karwas are safe to ride in if you’re traveling solo though, and are always metered. You can also call one in advance, which must be done at least three hours in advance if you’re planning to go somewhere or get picked up on the weekend. And whatever you do, don’t be fooled by the green Karwa minibuses. They are technically public transportation but are generally only used by day workers. It is considered highly strange suspicious for a Western tourist to use these buses.
From Chicagoist:
It’s been a quiet month since we last heard an update about Roger Ebert, the Chicago Sun-Times film critic and co-host of “Ebert and Roeper.” Back then, we posted some suggestions for putting out some good vibes to speed along the man’s recovery. But the best suggestion came from one of our commenters, FernLaPlante:
“I think we should all take Polaroids of ourselves flashing the Thumbs Up sign and mail them to Ebert and/or ABC-7. Sort of a Get Well/We Miss You thing.”
We promptly decided to steal this brilliant idea and make it our own.
We created a Flickr set called Get Well Roger and uploaded some pictures of the charming yet goofy Chicagoist writers throwing out the “thumbs up” sign to Rog. But it’s not enough! So get out your digital camera or your cell phone and snap a picture of yourself flashing the “thumbs up” sign then add it to our Get Well Roger photo group (click on the Join This Group? link in the lower right then select Add To Group on your uploaded picture). When we get enough pictures, we’ll send them on to Ebert to let him know we’re all thinking about him.
For our money, Ebert is the top dog of movie critics and quintessentially Chicago. So the least we can do is show we’re pulling for him.
So get those thumbs in the air and cameras flashing, people! Upload ‘em to Flickr and add ‘em to the Get Well Roger group, pronto.
And keep trying to destroy all those copies of North. It’s the right thing to do.

I used www.picmonkey.com/tell_a_friend
to make this.
Most of today was spent editing on a few projects I shot this week, so I didn't get out to shoot again. Since I still need to practice and learn more about the new gear I got this month, I thought I'd try some shots around the new lens's minimum focusing distance and wider apertures (bokehlicious!). Experimenting with new gear, of course, means photographing the cats some more, so we get a closeup portrait of Victor today.
On most days they don't get along. But every now and then, they act like they do.
Naiara: Smile!
Miró: I'm smiling! I'm smiling! *grumbles*
Toralei looked so cute with all that foam in her hair.
In the few minutes it took to get the camera ready, the foam was mostly gone.
Lesson learned: Sometimes even in doll photography you have to be faster. :-)
Come on, and get me out!

Payday cash advances are considered an undesirable option by a lot of people. Cash advance loans, however, are not a bad thing to get. These kinds of loans can be an option worth taking into consideration for many different borrowers. Would you like to know more? Continue reading to learn more on payday loans.
Know just what it is you will need to pay. You know you need money but be smart about signing with a payday loan agency. Be sure the payday lender gives you a list of all pertinent fees. Make sure you find out that information prior to signing anything.
Only get one payday loan. Do not get one from multiple lenders at once. Never visit multiple firms at the same time. This will put you in a place where you won't be able to get the money paid back, no matter what salary you're making.
You must know that most payday loan lenders require you to pay them back within two weeks of loan. You may be unable to pay back your loan when it is due because of an emergency, but you shouldn't worry about being late. A lender may offer the option to roll over or extend payments but there are extra costs to doing that.
Check out the fees on your loan. This will give you the best glimpse of the money that you will have to pay. Consumers are protected by a number of interest rate regulations. Extra fees tacked onto the loan are certainly one way creditors skirt these regulations. This can add significantly to the cost of borrowing money. This should help you figure out if getting a loan is an absolute necessity.
If you are taking out financing, try to have a decent amount of money to pay it back within the next month. Companies will be very persistent to get back their cash unless you meet the deadline. If you overdraft your bank account, your bank will charge you fees on top of the extra money you will now owe the payday lender. Insure you have the money in your bank account so you don't lose control of your finances.
With what you have learned, you will be able to make better informed choices about your financial future. Be careful, however, as payday advances are risky. Avoid becoming stressed over cash advances. With the information presented here, you will be able to accomplish smart payday loan use easily. www.christmasloanssameday.com
Getting old is such a hilarious thing to happen to you. You get up in the morning and you look in the mirror and you bust out laughing, you just can't believe it happened to you. The more you look the more you see one of your parents looking back at you, usually the one that you didn't like, or the least attractive one. P.S. I don't have a bald spot on my head, it just looks that way in the picture because my hair is so white and I had a lamp hanging right over my head illuminating all imperfections, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

SP 98 - Wed, Apr 8
Angry, I know! This is in response to the cackling bitch at work who has nothing better to do but make up stories about other people's lives only because she's miserable and bored!
I'm a pacifist and I hate gossip. I don't engage in conversations that damage the reputation of people. I will not help spread unfounded rumours to entertain myself. I HATE THAT about some women. Why do we do it? I hate being a woman sometimes because I get painted with the same stereotypical brush as these catty, cackling bitches.
On a different note, my finger looks really big. wow... I have discovered quite a few things during these self portrait sessions.
