Yowza!


I have to admit this is a very late post. In fact, three years late. Okaay, so I've been living under a rock haha. I was just going through some random songs on myspace when I heard Susan Boyle's version of Memory. I said, she really does have a lovely voice. So i looked her up on youtube to check out her audition tapes and chanced upon her very  first audition video for Britain's Got Talent in '09. I mean, I know her. I've heard of her and her songs but I've never watched THAT video. Wow! it is really is one of those wow moments. I can't help but cry during the vid. She truly is inspirational. I have to remind myself over and over again good looks isn't all that. Look for what's inside. Okay, it's a cliche but it's true though. So I thought of making this post about people and videos that made my hair stand on its end, in a good way. :) wow moments. Right now i can' t think of everything but Susan Boyle's video and this unforgettable scene from the movie The Pianist, i think, is an apt way to open this post.

The year is almost over!!

Yes, hard to believe right? This has been an amazing year, a loooot of exciting things happened! Thank you Lord! and to end the year, I got myself my first DSLR, a Nikon D5100  and a Japanese Language Exchange Partner!  Gambatte! :)

Got the cam two weeks ago but had been so busy I didn't had the time to go out and play around with it so during my day off from work I went to Clarkfield and took some shots. Not really familiar with the functions yet so i pretty much just switch from auto to manual mode and just clicked away.  At the same time, dropped by a restaurant that I like, Cafe Mesa. Too bad this time they're playing some classical music instead of A Walk To Remember OST like the last time I was there. So here are some pics:


PARADE GROUND


i miss jogging here. although I was never able to run its entire length  without stopping to rest :p




i have a thing for footballers lol and drummers haha i like Ki Sung Yueng

there's something melancholy about empty bleachers. reminds me of the book Friday Night Lights




CAFE MESA



The non-aircon area (smoking area? not so sure, I've never seen any patron smoke.





The Interior




for privacy, the restaurant has rooms separated by a wall like this one
