I STAND WITH ORLANDO This weekend we heard some devastating news from Orlando. 'The Voice' singer Christina Grimmie, who got gunned down by a killer when she was signing autographs after her concert. I didn't know who she was until I saw the news on Facebook because I don't watch TV. I heard one song and was hooked. Such an amazing talent wasted. Another day passed, 50 other people were killed in a gay nightclub by a terrorist in the same city. I dedicate this week's post to the victims of Orlando. These are our brothers, sisters, sons and daughters, neighbours, good Samaritans, academics, hard workers and all type of civilians. Here at LIFETIME, I promote LOVE for all kind of people. No Judgement. No discrimination. Spread the Love.
MOROCCO I spent 7 days in Morocco last year (2015). It is one of the most amazing place in the world. In fact I got sick after the third day, so don't consume the water and if people asks you 'is it okay out of taps?' JUST SAY NO. :D
FEELING SWAMPED? Do you sometimes feel that you are swamped with random activities in your life? Well from one busy person to the next.. I feel at times I don't have time to do everything. I do have great time management skills, often I find myself writing a list of tasks to be completed within a time frame. You know things need to get done, but perhaps one is more priority than the next. After working in a large corporate company for the last 5 years, it was very crucial, everyday was a different day. It works, especially if you are running two photography businesses like myself. I have never been confused with my target audience. Things are usually clear from my end. So start writing down things.
TAKE A LEAP Imagine if you have taken that 'one step', you probably ended up meeting another person, working in another job or buying another car. I guess you would never know.. but there is nothing worst than not taking the leap of faith.
WONDERFUL WORLD: ARASHIYAMA BAMBOO GROVE Each week I will share with you one place in the world that I have visited. Usually I spend quite a bit of time admiring, absorbing the spot before photographing it. This is the Bamboo Grove in Kyoto, Japan. I visited this place twice over 3 years. It is one of the most peaceful places i have ever been to, despite the fact there are a number of tourists visiting on a daily basis. But people in general have respect of the surrounding, if I could name it a colour, I would call it 'Tranquil"
SILENCE IS GOLDEN (or blue) I actually have a fear of water, I cannot swim but I do like getting into a private plunge pool in resorts. In fact, my asian name has the word 'sea' in it. Ironic. Once in awhile I like to spend time by the ocean, not necessarily to mediate, but visually you are transported to somewhere distant and it's calm at sea. It's also the best time to reflect. P.S. I should learn to swim, but that's another story for next week.
TURN OFF THE GPS Get in the car, turn off the GPS for one day, you would be amazed how liberating it is. One morning I decided to disregards the voice in the GPS while driving from Montpellier to Avignon in south of France, I got lost on the road then it got interesting. I found this great piece of land, the moment was divine.
