no parking

A day after theSpring shopping mall was officiated, something caught my eye when I was walking past the residential area.

Read the text in the paragraph below "No Parking!"

This picture was taken with my W810i, while I was making my way through the residential area near theSpring. Apparently someone had had enough, and decided to make it clear with this home-made sign board, and display it just outside the house.

one month after 2008

Without much realization, it's been already a month since we all ushered in year 2008.

Mou mou.

There are still so much to do. And I surely ain't moving at the right pace.

And, I'm thinking of a change to this blog. I hope that will come soon enough.

Syncretism

I believe in Christian and Catholic exceptionalism: Only the Catholic Church possess the fullness of truth in God's revelation. The search is over. Jesus has called us to the way, the truth, and the life.

Any other way is at at least partially false or incomplete.Those that "reconsider Christian practices" do so at the peril of their immortal soul.

Catholic World News: Two Jesuits, two ways

green in sarawak

I was digging in my old archives in my PC, and I found these. These were taken back in year on 1st January 2007, when we were on our way back from Palm Beach Resort, Semantan.

It was drizzling, and the weather was really cool back then. It didn't feel like typical Malaysian weather back then, instead, it was nice and cool.

Strange Parallel


When I saw a picture of Heath Ledger in Joker makeup, I thought of the odd similarity to Brandon Lee in his Crow makeup. Ledger is currently assumed to have committed suicide. Brandon Lee was the son of Bruce Lee. Brandon did not commit suicide, but there's a controversy over whether he was accidentally killed or murdered. He died when the cap from a blank cartridge penetrated his jacket and embedded into his abdomen which was not detected for several hours.

There's media frenzy in New York City over his death. The mainstream media say that there's demand for it. It gets ratings. I think he was a good actor but I've seen it so often: John Lennon, Princess Di, John Kennedy Jr., etc. Enough is enough. The death of a celebrity ought to have more dignity than this.

r.i.p. heath ledger (1979 - 2008)

When I heard the news over the radio, I was rather shocked. Brokeback Mountain star Heath Ledger was found dead in his apartment in New York City on 22nd January 2008. He was only 28.

It appears that his last act would be The Joker in the upcoming Batman movie -- The Dark Knight.

Anyone but McCain

McCain is still wrong on immigration, free speech, campaign financing, taxes, the role of government, health care, global warming, and the "long war" -- the need to be on offense against creeping socialism as the Dems has been pushing since FDR.

He's right on the global war on terror.

A suggestion that I mailed top amazon.com

I suggest that you add "Reviewer has purchased the book at Amazon" where this is the case in order to let the reader of the review have an indication whether the reviewer may actually own the book.

So many reviews look like discussion board entries with the 1 or 5 stars being given to influence the rating.

People dancing in those Flash ads

I wonder if there's a human being somewhere who's collecting one billionth of a cent when the ad is displayed. Perhaps it was entirely animated. Or perhaps it's in the public domain which could explain why it is so ubiquitous.

What's up with Peggy Noonan and Newt Gingrich?

I often think that she has harbored resentment that she wasn't brought into the inner circle in the administration of George H.W. Bush after her start as a speechwriter for Ronald Reagan in the middle 80's and then out of the White House in 1989. Her bio starts at age 35 with getting to Buchanan's office and since 1989, it is almost she's been living three or four years over and over again. Does she ever direct that rhetoric in order to advance some elected officials who support the agenda she supports? Talk about shooting the wounded...

At some level there's a disappointment that no Republican has a triple crown of being right on national security, the economy, and culture/social issues. It is another thing to add the cry of despair that the without Reagan, Woe is us.

I am suspicious that the media still are building up McCain. McCain is electable but I think it's time (maybe past time) for McCain to tone down the maverick stuff and get on board with the conservatives. I have another clothespin labeled McCain ready for the general election in November.

Hindu hard-liners attack churches in India Associated Press

Hindu extremists attacked Christians celebrating Christmas in eastern India, ransacking and burning six churches after a dispute over a holiday cultural program that some Hindus believed encouraged conversion, officials said Wednesday.

Father Thomas Kallumady, the pastor of Holy Innocents parish in Manhattan mentioned this at the Afternoon of Reflection given today by Fr. Benedict Groeschel, CFR.

my privilege book launch - finale i.

Short Note: This is a long post with a lot of photos uploaded. Hahaha.. Paiseh.


The last part on my event coverage will be on the parade of bridal wear from Great Wall Photo. The gorgeous models donned the elegant, and beautiful bridal gown, paraded down the red-carpet runway.



I must say, at this point of the event, I was running low on ammo (CF storage), and low on power (both the Speedlite and my battery pack). I had to make do without the Speedlight towards the end.

Post Finale

After the finale walk, it was time for the group photos, and a closing to the day's event. Well, I was shooting with EF 50mm F/1.8 all day long, so I couldn't get a wide view of the group. What to do?

Well, to make up for that, I just trigger my shutter away. Fire-at-will style. And the result as shown below.
