and i just started reading.. need a space of some good place to start with... and since my summer school starts next Sunday, we got a problem..
but who cares,, i'm still reading again.. and more thing,, i'm still taking photos.. today was a dust-free day thank GOD for that.. and what better thing than photography, since i didn't do that for like 2 weeks.. had this shot..
Cropped.. thanks to a flickr comment to a bigger photo.. i was telling my mom today, it's nice to see the sun again.. ( Leo.. lol) haha..
ok now, back to reading.. then sleeping.. got some soap soccer tomorrow in the afternoon..
nyty nyte!
and i got loads of photos to upload,, but i got you some of them here..
usually when i go out, i take lots of photos, in an average of 100 photos for each day i go out for the sake of photography... and i keep them for the days i can't go out, so i just put then in the process of editing and then upload them to flickr or here.. ok,, enough crap!
i love this one... it's a masterpiece of everything, depth of field.. rule of 3rds, editing.. everything.. colors...
yea,, i didn't know what type of editing should i do to this photo... so i figured out that i keep the green and blue only.. though they're a bit dark..
but my friend's reflection on the water surface is nice..
and yea,, this is a photo i like..
i just love the smoke, the orange color behind it gives is better clarity.. :)
well, that was for photos.... i finished
days ago... and i like it so much,, recommended.. great story, great lessons.. great writing... very nice book to read... and an original story no doubt..
i went out hunting for a new book,, and this time it was Mitch Albom again.. ! :D
i bought the book before this one,,
and i read like 16 pages of it while i was in some very crowded street...
and i like it too.. i think that i will learn a lot from it... since it's a real story...
and i got my mind on the next book too.. i'm gonna read it when i finish this book... it's Paulo Coelho's Latest...
though i never heard a thing about it before...
i had a conversation with the woman workign there about what i like and what i dont.... and she recommended this to me...
let's see how it turns out..
well,, thanks to my friend Dave who brought this up,, but are we really happy?
i was reading in my last book, and i like how this man is writing,, inspirational stuff..
yet, it was somehow so true... i'm gonna quote some words from one of the main characters in the novel talking about the happiness we claim to search for..
Edda: " Everything is at once so simple and so complicated!, simple because all it takes is change of attitude : i'm not gonna look for happiness anymore in my life. and complicated because everyone has taught me that happiness is the ultimate goal worth pursuing..
after all what is happiness?
they say LOVE, but love is never has brought happiness, it's a constant state of anxiety, it's sleepless nights. it's asking ourselves all the time if we're doing the right thing. Real Love is composed of Ecstasy and agony.
All right then peace? Earth is never at peace ( it happens in the novel to call earth as the mother for a reason but im referring to it's name ) the winter does battle with the summer, the tiger chases the man who's afraid of the dog, who chases the cat, who chases the mouse, who frightens the man.
Money brings Happiness.in that case, everyone who earns enough to have a high standard of living would be able to stop work. but then, they're more troubled than ever, as if they were afraid of losing everything.
i spent my life looking for happiness, now what i want is joy. Joy is like sex - it begins and it ends. i want pleasure.
i asked people the most important question: " are you happy? ", and they all reply: " yes i am! " then i ask: " But don't you want more? Don't you want to keep on growing?" and they all reply: "Of course" then I say: " Then you're not Happy!" ..
we're surrounded by Universal Desire. It's not Happiness, It's Desire. and desires are never satisfied. because once desires are there, the are ceased to be desires.
When i read those words, i couldn't believe what i was thinking that happiness is what i'm looking for.. i was looking for joy, but i was saying for happiness.. but i didn't know that.
Amazing Paulo Coelho.. i got so much respect for the man..
what do you think? Are we Really Happy? according to these words, we can't be happy.. because we keep asking for more, but are we enjoying our lives? this should be the question.. we can't stop asking for more "happiness" which happens to mean here our "JOY" ... living each moment of happiness is enjoying them.. this is it exactly.. i don't know what to say.. i'm again in one of those crossroads where i have to stop and think a lot about my life.. im just in a state of losing my concentration because of the busy mind i carry wherever i go. I'm less focused now because problems keep popping along the way. once before i was more concentrated, that was like 2 months ago but change is the only constant thing, isn't it..
well,, because Ramadan is a holy month, worshiping is an essential thing in this month.. and our day starts somehow at 8 pm after all the prayers.. and yea,, at night i try to go out meet some friends,, go for a walk in a place.. do my business..
though all this worshiping, it didnt prevent me from my hobby.. ! ;) came back with some photos.. and i call these photos are my best ones.. by far ! so,, no introductions,, letting you enjoy,, and you can see it's all focused about the theme of Ramadan.. Quran, Worshiping... hope you find the photos as interesting as i see them... !
and the description for each photo is in the photo page.. ! so just enjoy.. here we go,,
here i gotta comment,, i worked so the the focus will be on the man reading Quran in the far corner... =)
i love the focus in this one.. AMAZING.. !
in this one,,, i love the levels of light coming from the windoe on the page and on the carpet...
and how the page are so new that they're reflecting the sun light ...
this guy is my friend..
what i like about this shot is the light reflection on his clothes... some brightness fixing made it better.. ;)
and my best one ever is the coming one... this photo is the most meaningful photo i took ever ( i guess ) ... no comments on this one,, just maximize it.. concentrate on the details.. and enjoy,, me, myself was somehow amazed how this shot turned out to be this good.. !
Ok,,, this is it... ! ;) i wanted to blog about something but there is nothing to blog about in this life except these days of amazing strengthening of the relationship with Allah...
Ok,, since there is not too much to write about these days.. coz they've been boring.. so,, i decided to add some taste to the music,,, ( what music?! ) ...
i bought a BOOK.. ! yess i did... bought a Novel.. the last of Paulo Coelho...
" The Witch of Portobello ".. it's said that this one is his best..well,, i didn start yet... but i guess i will tomorrow... or maybe tonight,, i dont know..emm,, and i got a book i didnt finish too.. so im hoping i can finish 2 books in one month..
soo,, after what i've been told from this woman workin in Virgin Megastore about the novel.. i think i should start readin it.. !
what else? yea,, my body is still itching,, i went to the doc and he gave me some medicine.. some pills... and my knee is shit too.. still hurts.. the wound is some ok.. but not so good i guess.. i should give it some more time to heal..
i guess im goin to see that Rat-tatouille movie ... yea,, i waited for it for quite some time now.. ;)
