So.. I read the description for this book.. "Awaken". I know same old teen book.. "Ouuu Who's this interesting and different GUY who so HOT. Ouu, I must know him! So different and COOL."
but the idea of the type of society they live in is cool, because it's set in the year 2060 where people live in a very digital world, even their school is digital. They don't have to leave the house unless they want to. This made me look at our own world and look, we're practically half way there! Who knows, this could be us in 50 years!
Oh, by the way, I felt like such a kid again making this nest of my bed sheets and pillows. I used to do that when I was a kid. :3 before you laugh, try it! It's super comfy. (:

The Erewash Canal outside Sandiacre, in Derbyshire.
The canal was created following an act of parliament in 1777 with John Varley appointed as engineer and John and James Pinkerton the main contractors, it was completed in 1779 at a cost of £21,000 (£2,252,740 in modern money). It was a commercial success from the start mainly used to transport coal.
The canal's success kept it going far longer than many of its contemporaries in the face of competition from the railways. When the Grand Union Canal Company took over the running of the Erewash in 1932 it was still a going concern. The canal was nationalised in 1947. By this time the closure of feeder canals resulted in a loss of trade and competition from other forms of transport was making itself felt and the last commercial narrowboat delivered its cargo in 1952. In 1962 the British Transport Commission closed the top section of canal. However, it was kept in water to supply the lower half of the canal and it remained navigable.
In 1968 the Erewash Canal Preservation & Development Association (ECP&DA) was formed in response to a threat by the British Waterways Board to close the canal. One of the ECP&DA's achievements was the re-opening of the Great Northern Basin at Langley Mill. This canal basin was the point at which the Cromford, Erewash and Nottingham Canals met. The Langley Mill Boat Company formed in 1974 and based at the Great Northern Basin has cleared and put back into water a short section of the Cromford Canal connected to the basin.
Today the Erewash Canal is fully open and is actively used by pleasure cruisers. The towpath, which follows the eastern bank, carries Route 67 of the National Cycle Network between the Lawrence Street access and Stanton Lock where the cycle route diverges to follow the Nutbrook Valley. The canal is also regularly restocked with fish for anglers, and along the eastern tow path dozens of anglers are often seen.

Kijkje achter de schermen bij de neon-installaties van David Batchelor in het GEM te Den Haag. Bekijk deze installaties niet vanaf een afstand maar duik er gewoon middenin.
In het werk van David Batchelor (1955) draait het om de ervaring van kleuren van het moderne stadsleven.
Photograph from the objective and subjective series i did on my own neighborhood.

This probably would've been a good color photograph had more of the sunrise been visible. Oh well, I kinda like the black and white... even though a good majority of my photos lately have been monochromatic.

A few weeks ago I connected with a young man in Oakland who was cooking meals for people in his community through Josephine. They're an Oakland based organization that connects neighbors to make home cooked meals for each other. I dig their mission so much that I'm doing a weekly spotlight on the different cooks/members of their community every Wednesday for the next 10 weeks.

When a dynamic asian city needs new facilities for its Supreme Court and Parliament, what should it do? Most cities would demolish the old and rebuild something new, getting more space out of the same footprint.
But Singapore is remarkable in their ability to see the long game, and as the old buildings were side-by-side, the 2 classic Colonial-era buildings have been connected and are now collectively the National Gallery Singapore, housing the nation's art collection that includes Asian art over 200 years old.
From the outside it looks the same, except they've added a lattice structure at the front and rear entrances - the modern metal work compliments the iconic old masonry built in 1937. It's worth a visit if you have a few hours to spare!
Somewhere... sometime... spirits are all connected... synchronized... that everyone is made for the others...
Like a hidden guard, shares your thoughts, shares your feelings, and is there for you to give you encouragement, support and advices, or even just make you feel better...
For every matter shown on your way, there will be always a healing spirit knows what you feel... sometimes maybe because they’re more wise or with more experiences, or sometimes just because they’re being them !!
As the lovely lady I’ve met in my new job, I’m new there, a little confused, and want to show them what I can do... for some reason she discovered me, she’s there for me, to give that dose of words to make me speak... at the same time, I’m there for her, as she feels that she can’t open her heart to anyone except me...
As a lot of my friends here... always make me feel happy........ and I always make them smile....... I wonder why !!! .... why ? :))
Every meeting in our lives is arranged for some reason, more we are connected... more we can make our lives better and joyful... so, don’t worry about anything, be sure that whatever you face in your life, there is always a soul can feel you, and will be there for you just in the right time... at the same time, YOU are the healing spirit for another... even if you didn’t know that... and so on...
And Life is Beautiful ♥ ... Connect it :)
From the Wikipedia entries:
"Deer Isle is an island in Hancock County, Maine, United States. There are two communities on the island, Deer Isle and Stonington. It is on the eastern side of Penobscot Bay, connected by road to the Maine mainland through Little Deer Isle. Its only vehicular connection to the mainland is State Route 15 over Deer Isle Bridge.
The first people to live on Deer Isle, as early as 6,100 years ago, were Native Americans. Their descendants were known to early French explorers as Etchemins; some continued to live on the island even after Anglo-Americans established settlements. The first European to venture into the region was Estevan Gomez, a Portuguese working for the Spanish Crown. Gomez sailed his ship La Anunciada up Eggemoggin Reach, which divides Deer Isle from the mainland. The French, however, would be the most active in the region, establishing a fort in Castine and intermarrying with Abenaki natives. A body buried in full armor (believed to be French) was discovered on nearby Campbell Island.
Toward the end of the French and Indian War, Deer Isle was settled by New England colonists around 1760. From Berwick came descendants of Scots Covenanter George Gray, a prisoner of war taken at the 1650 Battle of Dunbar and shipped to America, his grandchildren (Joshua and Andrew) populated the area. Sailors on the island became noted for maritime skills, some even serving as crew in the America's Cup Races of 1895 and 1899. Ironically, their ancestors hadn't come looking for a life on the sea, but on the land. Following a southerly migration from the mainland above, the first settlers established farms and built cabins on the northern part of Deer Island. On the southern part, Green's Landing (as Stonington was initially known) would be settled after 1800.
Soil became exhausted from over farming and deforestation, so inhabitants of Deer Isle took to the sea. They became active in shipbuilding, seafaring and fishing. Green's Landing, a sparsely populated fishing village, didn't change much until the granite boom after 1870, when quarrying became a major occupation. Stone excavated here was used to build important structures across the country, including the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Europeans, mainly from Italy, were imported as stonecutters. Some were housed in barracks on Crotch Island, while others lived in hotels and large boarding houses built for that purpose. Many of the original buildings have been transformed since into restaurants, galleries and shops.
On February 18, 1897, Green's Landing was set off and incorporated by the Maine State Legislature as Stonington, named for its granite quarries. To the west of the main harbor lies Steamboat Wharf, now home to the Isle au Haut Boat Company. Prior to that it was a sardine factory. Before the Deer Isle-Sedgwick Bridge connected to the mainland in 1939, the wharf was an essential link to Deer Isle in general, and Stonington in particular. Steamboats arrived daily from ports such as Rockland, transporting freight and passengers from as far as Boston. The harbor has long been filled with Friendship Sloops, which are powered by sail only. Lobstermen once used them to haul traps. Most of their trips were to the outer islands (like York Island) near Isle au Haut, fishing during the week and returning to the harbor on weekends. This changed with the advent of gasoline or diesel engines, along with new hull designs, which enabled fishermen to make day trips to fishing grounds in Penobscot Bay."
Deer Isle is a spectacular island community of 24,000 acres and 112 miles of shoreline, comprising the towns of Deer Isle and Stonington and outlying islands.
Island Heritage Trust is a community-based, non-profit land trust contributing to the well-being of the island community by conserving its distinctive landscape and natural resources, maintaining public access to valued trails, shoreline and islands, and by providing educational programming for all ages.

mika-san was introduced to me by jason in tokyo. all connected by our love for film photography.
mika-san was jolly, happy, and always smiling. one of the most pleasant persons i've met. i suppose that what positive dispositions tend to do, creating a sense of familiarity between people who were strangers until a few minutes ago, and now someone you feel that you can trust.
she happily explained, in her own words the subtleties of japanese culture. and it was then i realised that her talent was bridging gaps between different cultures, because she had a personality kind enough to understand every other culture aside from her own. and that sort of spirit reflects nothing more than a great human being.
