Bangkok airport
In: personal| photography
24 Jun 2010This is a part of the Bangkok airport where I lay over for almost 4 hours. It is a very nice airport. There was some problems with the system of the Ethiopnian Airways that time so we waited for about an hour. The staff were all very good to us. It took time for me to figure out the gate but to my surprise the number that was written on it was not the gate it was the abbrevaition of the airlines.. oh my gosh.. It was already 12am and she should be boarding on 12:05am. I was very nervous. I thought I will miss the flight. It took me awhile to find an airport staff to ask. He said…

Taking photo tips
In: personal| photography
3 Jun 2010Taking pictures is a lot of fun. I really like taking pictures. But before taking one, I make sure that scene is great and perfect. When someone decides to take happy snaps and you want to look your best, remember that when the light hits the person from directly above, it creates shadows on his/her face. So, to be picture perfect have the sun behind and avoid overhead lights if he/she is inside. If you are the one taking pictures for someone do not just take picture as is. You need to make sure that the shots are good and the pleasant. It will take credit on you if you got great photo shots.
Individual petals
In: gardening| photography
25 May 2009This is one of my favorite pictures I shot a week ago. It is so beautiful, full and colorful, and fragrant, even when it is withering. Perhaps it is because of it that the individual petals are showing each beauty it fills my heart even just by looking at the whole flower.

4gb micro sd
5 Mar 2009Photography is one of my passions. Most of the time, I have my digital camera with me wherever I go. I want to be sure that I do not miss the great things that capture my attention. I can take pictures as much I want since I have a 4gb micro sd on my camera. I do not have to worry that I may out of space and miss the important one that I need to take a shot.
WW: Pineapple
In: jewel garden| living| photography
14 Feb 2009I spotted this amazing arranged pineapple skin. Isn’t this great! I love pineapple. It tastes so delicious.
The fruit of a pineapple are arranged in two interlocking spirals, eight spirals in one direction, thirteen in the other; each being a Fibonacci number(In mathematics, the Fibonacci numbers are a sequence of numbers named after Leonardo of Pisa, known as Fibonacci). Pineapple contains a proteolytic enzyme bromelain, which breaks down protein. Pineapple juice can thus be used as a marinade and tenderizer for meat. The enzymes in pineapples can interfere with the preparation of some foods, such as jelly or other gelatin-based desserts. It has a good fiber in it so it helps to have a regular bowel movement.

A blue butterfly that was ‘courting’ my pink roses. This was taken more than a year ago. I wonder where is this beautiful winged creature now.

WW: Digging turtle
In: animal garden| photography
16 Jul 2008I was going up the hill from my garden when I noticed the land turtle. I was momentarily shocked for it was unexpected. It is the second turtle I saw here, and maybe, might be the same one, anyway. It is so cute and pretty site there on the ground.
When I examined it closely, I found out that it was over a small hole but when I observed it for several minutes after being immobile because it noticed me at first, the turtle was actually digging a hole in the ground. I watched the way it moved. Something struck me. As it was there with just its feet digging back and forth and getting a just a fraction of a…

A friend’s garden
In: gardening| photography
25 Jun 2008
This is one of my friend’s very healthy backyard garden. It is such her joy and pride and the food we cooked that day straight from her garden was just so tasty and delicious, a homegrown flavor. If you look closely, she is behind one of the plants.

Another way to cook cucumbers
2 Jun 2008I usually eat cucumbers fresh, peeled and dipped with some vinegar and soy sauce, mouth watering, yummy, but you could actually cook it too. Just like with eggplants, you can dip largely sliced cucumber into breadcrumbs and beaten eggs and fry. Give it a try and tell me if you like it. Next time I will share some other recipes where cucumbers are cooked differently.
