# 15 Let's Celebrate

It's almost Halloween.  We don't really celebrate Halloween here.  Kids do not don on ghoulish costumes and go begging door-to-door.  No trick or treats or jack-o-lantern on the window sills.  But the retailers do try their best to celebrate the occasion. 

# 14 Look down again

On the sixth floor of the mall, I looked down and took this image.  I like the lines it created, dotted with little red seats like specks of polka dots.  Didn't realized the couple sitting on the top row.

Photo 8 - Wall Art

Continuation of wall art.  I must admit, Bangkok is not an artistic city.  At least not in the western scene.  In the lankiness, darkness, and murkiness, we do have some glimpse of color and aesthetics.  Here is my take on wall art.

Photo 5 - Garden Top

With the building going upwards and no garden area on ground, the tree go up with the building.  Trees on a corner of a building complex.

Photo 3 - I am I blue. . .

"Look at me," this little softy toy said to me.  " oh, oh take my picture"  See that subtle up turn at the corner of the lips.  What do you think?

Photo 2 - Umbrellas

No, it not the popular song from Rhiana but it's raining this morning.  so the umbrellas came out and left outside before the people entered the office, littering the hall way with umbrellas.

Photo 1 - Egypt

For the new years, 2010, I went to Egypt.  I have this ambition - to see all the great wonders of the world.  There were seven wonders to begin with but since they held and announced the new seven wonders, here is my list:

• The Great Wall of China
• Angkor Wat, Cambodia
• Great Pyramids of Giza
• Petra, Jordan (new 7 wonders)
• Leaning Tower of Pisa
• Taj Mahal
• Stonehenge
• Macchu Picchu, Peru (new 7 wonders)
• Chichen Itza, Mexico (new 7 wonders)
• Colosseum, Rome (new 7 wonders)
• Christ the Redeemer, Brazil (new 7 wonders)

So far, I have been to 5 of 11 wonders.  Woo Hoo.  I just want to travel more.

The tourist gather to see the Sphinx with the pyramid at the background.

Lazy Saturdays

My lazy Saturdays means laundry and nothing else.  I stayed home and did laundry and surfed the net.  The only saving grace is while surfing the net, I advertised on the net.  I will grow my online business.

And I watched Ugly Betty.  Alas, it's her last season and I am enjoying it again.

I am not enjoying lazy Saturdays because of the word 'lazy'.  I was just not in the mood to get out the house.

The photos of the day:

Buildings around the office.  This is what Bangkok has become - city of skyscrapers.

I did it

I am grateful that I went to yoga today.  I haven't go to yoga since Monday, but it a different kind of yoga.  I can feel my stiff limbering up a bit.  I really need to get limber so I more much movement.  Feel much better about yoga now because I am much stronger -strong planks, reverse planks, etc.

I am grateful that I forgot my sneakers which gave me the opportunity to go to yoga.  So I have to call Sprite to find out that we going to get together again on Sunday.  Gave me time to plan next week out (at least in my mind) because next week is vegetarian week.  And then I went shopping.

I clear my paper on my desk. I need to do more but I am all caught up. About the apartment - heck that's another deal all together.

I went to the market yesterday and took some good photos.  I decided that I will be carrying my Nikon camera in conjunction with my handy-dandy Sony.  Yeah, my weight in my junk bag.  Definitely need to divide conquer!!!

These are just a couple of the stuff, but the photo of the day:

T'is the eve of a new . . .

T'is the eve of a new month - October.  This will be a busy month on so many levels; personal, work and others.  The vegetarian festival will start on October 7 and go on for ten days, Hence I willed myself to eat vegetarian food for ten days.  Tens days without any animal flesh of any sort, however I still take eggs and milk.

Hopefully my full time job will be stable enough to so that I could pursue my sideline in peace (and bits and pieces).  It's the sideline that is overwhelming and at the moment, I am not quite sure if my efforts will be successful.  But I really believe that I will be successful enough so that I can pursue other things in life.

Physically, I appear to be in health and well-being, but internally, I my eyesight is failing me - I need to see an ophthalmologist; my neck and shoulder is sore - so sore that I need to see a specialist; and my stomach is too sensitive for my liking.  But, hey, what do you expect from mid-aged person thinking that she's still in her 20s!
I go to the gym 5 times a week and do weights like a body builder.  Serve me right for all this soreness - should learn to take it easy.

So this is the eve of 365 day of tomorrows that I promise to

• take more photos and post them
• do yoga and meditation
• watch less TV and play less games on the net.

And now, let's see how long this will last. . . 5555
