He came home tired and sick. The call to join Magnum never came.</i><br />
<i>Yet
the same day he was ill in Rio de Janeiro, a cat was born in New York
City. Before long, in one of those twists, Hiroyuki — a carefree art
student — had better luck with the cat than with <a href="http://lens.blogs.nytimes.com/author/hiroyuki-ito/">his camera</a>.</i><br />

I have finally complete one of the items that i have on my to do list.<br />
And that is to go to watch an overseas concert.<br />
I would like to thank my dear cousin who is a TVXQ's fan for asking me if I'm interested to join her to go watch JYJ's concert :))<br />
<br />
True enough the trip turns our pretty INTERESTING!!!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">1Apr:<br /><br />10.20am:</span> reached the Airport waiting for cousin to check in together... still a little sleepy as i slept at ard 3am..<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">10.35am:</span> cousin came and we went to checked in, it is only then that I found out that I brought the OLD PASSPORT and had to RUSH HOME to get it as the last check in is at 11.45~!!! Thanks to the Adrenaline Rush <span style="font-weight: bold;">I AM NOW FULLY AWAKE</span>.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">10.45am:</span> finally got on the taxi and started call my bro and mom (who was in the office) asking them for help to see if they know where's my passport.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">11.05am:</span> reached home to only find out that the passport is no where to be found and both my bro and I suspected that my mom took it and kept it in her drawer LOCKED...<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">11.15am:</span> mom came home and True Enough it was in her drawer... and thank God that she made it home this early...<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">11.40am:</span> Reach airport. Rush to the check-in counter.. and was happy that I finally made it before the counter close~~<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">3pm+:</span> reached BKK~<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">5pm+:</span> Reach hotel~ P2 Boutique. Not bad it a relatively new hotel, nice customer service and clean hotel room :))<br />

He had done many great things to help out the poor, the children, and people who were ill. I cant imagine someone like him would actually went to Iraq to visit the wounded during a time of war. It never did once crossed my mind.<br /><br />Yet all those who were blinded by the press and those who cant accept people who are different, thinks that Michael is crazy, psycho, and a child molester. Because they cant accept or believe that anyone can be this great, selfless and remain child like through out their life. Micheal was not perfect, he had his problems. He never had a normal childhood since the age of 5. And he wasn't really emotion stable.<br /><br />Granted, I'm not a hardcore fan and I didnt follow his news till he passed away. But I for one, never believe media's allegations towards him nor do i bad mouthed him. Because I believe that <span style="font-weight: bold;">a man will remain innocent unless proven otherwise</span><br /><br />But still I cant believe how evil a man can be.<br />To make money, press and media try to find ways to bring him down because gossip sells and everyone wants to dig dirt out of him even if it's non existence. Parents of the cancer children whom Michael open his home and heart to, turned against him by accusing him of child molestation. And now after he had passed on to the lights, the media starts making allegations that his children weren't his.<br /><br />God, how hurtful these can be?<br />I dont know. And I hope I will never get to experience such injustice and betrayal through out my life. I only prayed that Michael will finally be able to rest in peace and hope that no harm will go to his family and children.<br /><br /><br />Here's one of the video that his fan made, and I really like how happy he seems to be.<br /><object height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/1-vzr57-tec&hl=en&fs=1&"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/1-vzr57-tec&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="344" width="425"></embed></object>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7242012.post-64648462412813389142009-06-05T11:53:00.003+08:002009-06-05T11:57:12.647+08:00Time-Lapse<object width="420" height="260"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/UrGcd6PN7EE&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/UrGcd6PN7EE&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="420" height="260"></embed></object><br /><br />Got to know about time-lapse recently... it's a series of photo taken at the exact scene over a period of time.. and then compile it into a film.<br />din know tat's how some films are taken... haha i guess i still quite a noob when comes to photography.. it's really nice.. love the BGM<br /><br />The song is: "The Departure by Michael Nyman"Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7242012.post-72114043011042103482009-05-21T14:41:00.007+08:002009-05-22T09:44:14.721+08:00Coldplay - Fix you<object width="425" height="280"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/gBuD1qsBdIw&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/gBuD1qsBdIw&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="280"></embed></object><br /><br />When you try your best but you don't succeed<br />When you get what you want but not what you need<br />When you feel so tired but you can't sleep<br />Stuck in reverse.<br /><br />And the tears come streaming down your face<br />When you lose something you can't replace<br />When you love someone but it goes to waste<br />Could it be worse?<br /><br />Lights will guide you home<br />And ignite your bones<br />And I will try to fix you<br /><br />And high up above or down below<br />When you're too in love to let it go<br />But if you never try you'll never know<br />Just what you're worth<br /><br />Lights will guide you home<br />And ignite your bones<br />And I will try to fix you<br /><br />Tears stream, down your face<br />When you lose something you cannot replace<br />Tears stream down your face and I...<br /><br /><br />Tears stream, down on your face<br />I promise you I will learn from my mistakes<br />Tears stream down your face and I...<br /><br /><br />Lights will guide you home<br />And ignite your bones<br />And I will try to fix you.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7242012.post-54024085781970927802009-05-13T14:57:00.001+08:002009-05-13T15:11:07.653+08:00MTV Japan - Usavich<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJu3SPMhWWRORnaLpWF6N7Ob75-xw3WrY_TNjgFdpQamyjbzPx5fxaRhlBoIzWzEE7oriEp443zbMz8C5YwjLf3zevhYNPFDDRllCmluu2qskbh3RtgeUQoUEpMdwUcTqikXv7/s1600-h/288718_usavich.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 208px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJu3SPMhWWRORnaLpWF6N7Ob75-xw3WrY_TNjgFdpQamyjbzPx5fxaRhlBoIzWzEE7oriEp443zbMz8C5YwjLf3zevhYNPFDDRllCmluu2qskbh3RtgeUQoUEpMdwUcTqikXv7/s320/288718_usavich.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335188277624594338" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />hehehe...~ Came across this while surfing the net for MTV rabbit.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(58, 158, 158);">Synopsis:</span><br />Usavich is a series of animated short films about an odd couple of rabbits being imprisoned in an russian prison.
