are difficult.
One month left for me to head home. Saying goodbye to my few close friends will be difficult, but I guess thats how the game of life is played.
This BTW, was shot from the hip.
Guangzhou,China.
.
Finally, I finished my work.
And I could say goodbye to Hong Kong.
I had mixed feeling for this city.
While I worked here, I hated it so much.
I felt so tired and so lonely in the business trip during this spring.
But,
While I had just realized the beauty of the city, I gotta leave.
Special thanks to my dear friends, Teresa and Mike,
You guys took good care of me.
I'll never forget all the WONDERFUL memories of us.
Keep in touch.
LOVE YOU.

Sam the Record Man long ago closed, this sign came down last year and right now they are tearing down the building to make room for Ryerson University!
Tạm biệt..
Tạm biệt..
Tạm biệt..
Chia tay với quả đầu vàng này ở đây :((
dù k muốn nhưng cũng chịu thoy :((
Đi học lại thì phải nhuộm lại..
Mình thì chả thấy vấn đề gì về cái vụ tóc tai..
Đi học mang cái đầu như thế này cũng chả tê chút nào..
Để xem thử ông nào dám bắt mình..
Nhưng..
Mama bắt thì chịu thoy :-<
Mama bảo chơi thì chơi
Nhưng,,
Đã đến trường thì phải đàng hoàng
p/s : Hè đến mình lại đi nhuộm .. I'll miss this hair color :) Goodbye :-h
I had to say goodbye on November, 18 2022 to a beautiful little cat that my family had been feeding in the back yard for at least 15 years.
We called her Hemi or Little Missy and she was always a sweet little angel with eyeliner.

Oh don’t worry, it’s not as bad as it sounds. It’s just a journey. Today I’m going on a cruise with my dad for two and a half weeks. I will see several cities in China, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan and it will be so exciting. I don’t think that I will have access to the internet there, at least not very often, so I’m telling you goodbye for a while. But I will definitely miss uploading, that’s for sure. Well, I’ll be back on 18th September, so please expect a mass upload for this day and the following. Have a good time.
Oh, that cat was stalking me. Cats don't like me.
On Saturday 11th July, Plantsbrook School opened its doors to the public for an event celebrating the school building's rich past and its exciting future, where the school building will be demolished with an all-new school being gradually built in its place. Being a former pupil as well as a photographer/journalist sent to cover the event, I set about diligently capturing as much of the school on camera as possible. It's astounding to think that by 2017, everything in these photographs will be gone...
I can't say for sure that this will be the last poppy shot that I share, there are 100's to look through.
As we have moved through the months there have been fields carpeted with yellow Rape, Springs blossom blooms, woodlands of Bluebells, pink Campion, purple Foxgloves and not forgetting winters Snowdrops........... My little piece of Dorset has wonderful displays of wild flowers on verges and roundabouts, colour everywhere!

Celebrities mourn over Francis M’s death
03/07/2009 | 03:03 PM
MANILA, Philippines - The Philippine entertainment and music industry has definitely taken a hit with the loss of master rapper Francis Magalona, leaving many celebrities distraught and mourning over his death.
Q’s Balitanghali on Saturday reported that celebrities like Gary Valenciano and wife Angeli, Michael V., Ogie Alcasid, Tirso Cruz III, William Martinez, Ramon Christopher, Joey De Leon, and the Eat Bulaga family were all present during the first night of the rapper’s wake at the Christ the King Memorial Chapel in Green Meadows, Quezon City.
Magalona, 44, succumbed to multiple organ failure Friday noon. His body was taken out of the Medical City on Friday afternoon and brought to the Funeraria Paz at around 5 p.m.
Members of the music industry also flocked the Philippine rap icon’s wake to pay their respects.
Both Rapper Gloc 9 and Eraserheads drummer and Sandwich vocalist Raymond Marasigan came on Friday night but refused to give any comment as a sign of respect to Magalona’s family.
But the band Alamid, which collaborated with the rapper on the album “1896," just chose to relive what they remember most about him.
“Bilib na bilib kami kay Francis kasi on the spot ginawa niya agad yung lyrics nung rap niya sa 1896 na song, so talagang may talent talaga," said lead vocalist Gary Ignacio.
[We really were impressed by Francis when he came up with lyrics for his rap portion in “1896" on the spot, he really has talent]
The band Parokya ni Edgar said that they will not forget Magalona’s teachings.
“Para ko talaga siyang kuya kung magbigay ng payo from religion to how to live a rock and roll lifestyle with discipline," said lead vocalist Chito Miranda.
[He’s like an older brother to us when giving advice, whether it be about religion or how to live a rock and roll lifestyle with discipline]
On the other hand, the Master Rapper’s band, Hardware Syndrome, chose to remember him as a person who would always liven up things.
“Madedesrcibe ko si Francis M. as very inspirational, every time we play, never a dull moment pag tumutugtog kami," said guitarist Carlo Sison.
[I can describe Francis M. as very inspirational, every time we play there is never a dull moment]
Hardware Syndrome basist Francis Villanueva even said that Magalona still had so many plans.
“Gusto niyang magkaroon ng comeback concert pagkagaling niya, pinaplano na namin yan for him, marami pa eh, alam mo si francis marami yang idea eh," he said
[He wanted to have a comeback concert when he got better, we were planning it for him, Francis still had so many ideas]
Meanwhile, fans are welcome to visit the rapper’s wake during the public viewing from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. - Kimberly Jane T. Tan, www.gmanews.tv/story/151786/Celebrities-mourn-over-Franci...

Francis M, Pinoy rap king, passes away
By Kaye Villagomez
March 07, 2009
“I want to be a crooner when I reach the age of 50,” Francis Magalona told the Manila Bulletin in a previous interview. He clearly saw himself around the business for a very long time.
But after a long and hard battle against leukemia, the warrior in Magalona succumbed to cancer at noon yesterday at Medical City Hospital in Pasig City. The Master Rapper was 44.
The news of Magalona’s death was first announced on the noontime show “Eat Bulaga,” which the ‘Man from Manila’ (title of one of Magalona’s popular rap hits) co-hosted before he was diagnosed with Acute Myelogenous Leukemia in August 2008.
“I don’t want a media circus. I want privacy with my family. What I’d rather talk about is how we can solicit blood donations to replace the supply that I have consumed in the hospital,” Magalona said when he found out of his illness.
Vic Sotto, “Eat Bulaga” host and close friend of Magalona, yesterday led the show’s cast in offering a moment of silence after having to cut regular programming to disclose the sad news that left co-hosts crying while footages of the King of Rap alternated on screen. Sotto announced, “Francis Magalona passed away just this noon. Nakikiramay po kami kay Pia Magalona (Magalona’s wife). Join us in a moment of silence for the eternal repose of his soul.”
Aside from his wife, Magalona was survived by his eight children: Unna, Nicolo, Francis Jr., Elmo, Arkin, Clara, and actresses Maxene and Saab. As of press time, Magalona’s wife and children asked for the media’s understanding because they could not grant interviews and disclose details leading to the Master Rapper’s death.
Among those who were present moments after Magalona died are TV personality and comedian Michael V and former actor and Quezon City Vice Mayor Herbert Bautista who said he will be of support to Magalona’s family during these difficult times.
Magalona started Philippine rap music revolution in the 1990s. Definitely, one of the most idolized figures in the music industry, Francism (as Magalona is nicknamed) crossed-over from being a teen actor into iconic status via his breakout hit “Mga Kababayan” in 1990. Magalona spawned the nationalistic rap genre and went on to score chart-toppers with songs like “Cold Summer Nights,” “Mga Praning,” “Meron Akong Ano,” and “Man From Manila.” He further strengthened his niche with hits in “Kaleidoscope World,” “Ito Ang Gusto Ko” and “Mahiwagang Kamote.”
The son of the late Philippine movie screen legends Pancho Magalona and Tita Duran, Magalona started his entertainment career as a breakdancer in the ‘80s before he went into movies and became part of the youth-oriented variety show “That’s Entertainment.” Magalona’s achievements in the rap and hip-hop genres led to his international prominence having been featured in several international hip hop publications including the “All Music Guide to Hip-Hop: The Definitive Guide to Rap and Hip-Hop” published in 2003 and the May 2004 issue of the U.S. based publication “The Source.” In 2005, Magalona was honored the Pioneer Hall of Fame Award by Empire Entertainment at the 1st Annual Philippine Hip-Hop Music Awards.
In 2006, Magalona was chosen by Fremantle Media to sit as one of the judges in “Philippine Idol” where Francism co-judged with the Maestro Ryan Cayabyab and ‘Asia’s Queen of Songs’ Pilita Corrales. Prior to his death, Magalona was working on a collaboration album with another music icon Ely Buendia and various OPM artists in 2009, dubbed as “The Sickos Project.”
In Magalona’s recent blog, he had been updating his supporters about the progress of this project. Magalona’s passing came as a shock to his peers in the entertainment industry and his supporters as he had been actively documenting the progress of his chemotherapy via francismagalona.multiply.com and happybattle.multiply.com. Francism has written in his entries that one of his doctors have called him a mutant for miraculously bouncing back from crucial points of his illness. To Francism’s supporters, he was just that and more.
We all have a time to go, and although some of us will never get the chance to say goodbye, we can all say " I love You " right now! I love you! Thanks for your visit and your friendship.
Star, our nearly 11-year-old Lab, passed away at 2 AM today. We are so sad to say goodbye to this gentle, sweet spirit. She was the best!
A last view and temporary goodbye to the vast and nearly unspoilt wilderness that is Gorongosa National Park
Back home at last after six and a half weeks of fantastic time at Gorongosa National Park again. Many, many thanks to all who made it all happen and all who are such brilliant and fabulous company to be and work with.
I probably have used up all my designated luck to win the lottery for a long time again by having the great fortune to be spared the horrific 4+ hours drive to Beira as, for the second time this trip I was able to hitch a quick, comfortable and awesome ride on the helicopter .
Saying goodbye to mommy as we prepare to leave for camp. It's going to be a long week without mommy snuggles but camp is an awful big adventure to try and miss out on.
The gutted shell of Greyfriars Bus Station, Northampton on the 12th of March 2015. All openings and gaps appear to be sealed with huge padded sheet, presumably this will help contain debris when controlled explosions will bring the building down on Sunday the 15th of March 2015.
i vow that its goodbye to the old ways
those stories were a good read
they were dumb as well
i could never be seen
falling down on my knees crawling
o no, talk about a sell
o as the heavens shudder baby
i belong to you
o they said you get what you deserve
and all they said was true
so is this what its come to?
am I cold or just a little bit warm?
o well
give me an easy life
and a peaceful death
- the sundays

And thanks for the memories. Since opened in 1958 to replace the 'temporary' bus station in Union Street a vast array of buses and coaches have passed through your entrance. A small selection of them was represented at the cavalcade and closing ceremony 16/7/2016. Of course, in the photo is MOD 571P, a good bus of the south west which was new to NBC Devon General in Torquay as a standard closed top bus. She was sold to Provincial for spares but was found to be too good to scrap and was converted to open top for Weymouth services. Spent last couple of years as 'Beach Bus' for First Cymru.
