two steps behind

This post is all about Natt wants to show his photograph taken by his new wide-angle lenses. So he said I had to write something because this is a view from my balcony. Here we go!

Bangkok is called officially in Thai as “Krug Tep”. It means “the city of angels”.
That means “the heaven”, isn’t it?

***… and then she stop writing… (20 days later)
oh well… I guess if you want to know about Bangkok, you would need to do a little searching on the web yourselves

Bangkok… the place to be!

Last December has brought so much change into my life. The most intriguing part of the last December was a trip with my family, the Muangsiri to Phuket, Thailand. Because I was away for so long from Thailand and family, I couldn’t recognized half of the family members that were on the trip. Well, there were about 120 or so of us on 3 tour buses heading for a trip during Christmas break. The funny part is, Thai don’t celebrate Christmas, but I do! While the other see December 25, 2009 as another day, I see it as the best Christmas I ever had – to be among families (getting to know them and more of them)

This picture was taken at Phang Nga just hour after we have arrived from our 10 hours trip on the tour bus. It was our first stop for breakfast and to wash up, getting ready for the trip of the day – to the islands! before heading to Phuket in the evening.

Happy New Year 2010 to everyone. May this New Year brings everyone success in anything that you do with exuberant joy, health, wealth and most important of all… love!

P.S. Did anyone make a wish under the Blue Moon on New Year eve? Below is an interesting article about making wishes under the Blue Moon that I found just hours before the moonrise. Aside from it being the Blue Moon that only occur once in 20 years! It was also the most beautiful moons I have ever seen in years!

BLUE MOON MAGIC on New Year’s Eve 2009 by Ton Pascal

New Years Eve on December 31, 2009 will be more powerful than a super nova. This vibration will surpass space and time and will be in the seeds of ALL LIFE CREATIONS Be mindful of thoughts, they carry GREAT POWER. Take action, it has power & magic… Those into wishing, WISH BIG ~~~~ Know we are at the seat of our creations!!!

This super novas give us an energetic boost in whatever direction we are pointed…(rephrased by darlene)
Only once in every 20 years, the blue moon appears on New Year’s Eve, as it will this year. On a plain physical level what is happening is that the moon is out of phase with the days. For it to make its complete cycle it’s about 29.5 days. It doesn’t coincide with our month, and that’s why it is out of sync with our Julian calendar. It’s the occurrence of two full moons in one month, which happens every two years, hence the popular quotation “once in a Blue Moon” which means ‘not very often.’ On average, there will be 41 months that have two Full Moons in every century, so you could say that once in a Blue Moon actually means once every two-and-a-half years.

On December 31, 2009, we have a Blue Moon Lunar Eclipse.

On a spiritual level it is as if it asks us to ‘flash forward’ into the next two years to see what we can see. This is the most important New Years Eve we have ever been gifted in a long time. No matter how much you do not believe prophecy from time and earth, it will still affect your energy field and your choices.

This December 31, 2009, Partial Lunar Eclipse is numerically a 7/11 (#9) vibration

Cosmic and personal completion! Entering the next level of love of heart, of soul and service to the planetary evolution through healing self. Free-falling from the height of the nine into the next level of Light. Entry and exits all in the same breath. A quantum leap into unknown gifts comes through the nine. Are you ready to see and be more than you are at this minute of time? Nine is the photo finish on the heavenly line of multiple choices. If you believe you have won, you have. Your New Years resolutions on 12/31/2009 will be more powerful than a super nova. Their vibration will surpass space and time and land at the feet of God.

Be careful what you pray for, as it will come to past.

Much love,

Ton Pascal

My very first trip in Spain started during a midterm holiday / Easter holiday. The plan was to go to Origiva and then Granada. The plan changed just a night after, when my friend Simon wanted to go to Madrid instead. Hey, I am just a passenger with a camera… I am glad to go ANYWHERE and take pictures ^_^

So for this shot it was the first day of the trip after we left Marbella around 4Am to drop of our friend, Aude to the airport. I thought, perhaps we can get to Orgiva before the sunrise! That was how the race against the sunrise started.

In the end… a photo as you see below, in Orgiva collection. The sunrise in Orgiva, Spain. My very first sunrise shot… was processed with a simply request…

“I want a picture of a sunrise that brings happiness”

The New Beginning.

Arrived in Orgiva, Spain. Minutes before sunrise.

As requested, here is a photo taken just a few minutes after arriving at Orgiva, Spain where I stayed with my friend for a night before we drove up to Madrid. The house is surrounded by mountains that which ever direction I turned to… the view would be similar to today’s pick.

I am stuffed at the moment because I just came back from brunch, eating “just” a little bit too much. But isn’t that the idea… eating Breakfast + Lunch. Because of that, my brain is lacking Oxygen, resulting in me… just staring and blanking out at the picture and in my head, just “dot dot dot” ……….
