Listen to the waves.

When you see this, I will be looking across the sea, with millions of sardines swimming beneath my webbed feet. Some things are better alive than canned.
Always love this part of the gardens. Makes me happy just walking through them. Now I wonder if I can grow them indoors.
It was an extremely enjoyable wedding last night. Lots of laughter, tears and adrenaline overdrive. Being able to witness moments like this makes the little lack of sleep all worth it. Ended off the night with a beautiful drive home, as always.
In other news, I managed to set up the new AC router and get them to work *wipes sweat*. Inter-no-bottle-neck is now awesome. Coming week, a little more tweaking and I will be done with the system overhaul. *Feeling accomplished* Have a great weekend!:)
Something’s keeping me awake. But I know in afew hour’s time, I’ll be enjoying another shoot. This kind of pre-shoot adrenaline never go away for the past 10 years. Since I’m trying to minimize my stay on Facebook, I hope the updates here gets a little more frequent. After all, the voice has to go somewhere:D
This is day 6. Well, I might as well just say something about it since I’m blogging. This is day 6 without facebook. I only logged in twice to check on some email notifications, approved some friend adds and liked an image. That’s pretty much it for the past 6 days. Some years back, a friend told me a patient in his deathbed spoke about regrets in life. One of the things that I remembered was, ‘don’t spend your time watching useless videos’. It didn’t occur to me how much time I spent on useless entertainment, mostly from facebook. It was fun, for awhile. While I managed to maintain pretty alright relationships with my facebook friends, sometimes I felt that news, information and propaganda tend to be a little overbearing. Knowing that some of your friends are not what you think they are when you see them can be quite disconcerting. Online personas can be so scary sometimes. I like this verse from Savage Garden’s ‘Santa Monica’
But on the telephone line I am anyone,
I am anything I want to be
I could be a super model or Norman Mailer
And you wouldn’t know the difference
On the telephone line I am any height, I am any age I want to be
I could be a caped crusader, or space invader
And you wouldn’t know the difference
Or would you?
This week, I have seen productivity increased in levels I have never seen before. And I’m not even pushing myself over the edge. It was a comfortable and enjoyable pace. I did my work, shop a little on Amazon and Qoo10, set up a new kickass minimalist PC system, enjoyed moments in my mini garden (while keeping them alive) and read some news. I didn’t have to find out what my friends were doing. When I needed to, we went out for a beer and lunch. It was awesome. I stopped tapping on the Facebook icon on my phone because I deleted it. I still can’t get over life without WiFi, but I guess, we take it one step at the time. That said, I will log onto facebook next Monday, just to see what I missed (or not missed). Life is awesome, only if you know how to enjoy it.
Here’s a little something I took a few weeks back. I love the trailing hand from the father of the bride after giving the bride away in front of the altar. Little hand gestures say alot sometimes. One just have to look out and appreciate it.
I’ll post more on Day 8.
