Leigh’s Paradise

… turned into ashes ?

*speechless*

Well, when I stumbled with a Vietnamese Photographer of NatGeo *which I forgot his exact name but I’m so sure that I found his profile over the NG website* few months ago, I could say he has stunning captures in which to my initial impression and opinion plus my confidence in photography, I can do what he does *sudden thunders in the background*

Few weeks after, my eyes were wandering in NatGeo and NASA websites to find …. jobs that are POSSIBLE for me to apply.

It’s good to dream once in a while though.

See this?

of course you do. Chasing tornadoes and gazing volcanic eruptions are just two of the interesting tasks a noble photographer can do.

That’s motivation. Pictures and shivers!

Unfortunately, I don’t own a digital camera as of the moment. My Casio Exilim was dead, few seconds after I made the last shot of myself in my bedroom *poor self*

Flyleaf … Paramore and here comes Within Temptation. (Well, Flyleaf and Paramore are emo bands so I kinda hate that kind of music EXCEPT! Red Jumpsuit Apparatus *because hmmm of the member who sits at the back always*)

Anyway, Sharon Den Adel or Amy Lee?…. Hmmm Within Temptation or Evanescence?

Within Temptation

Evanescence

Of course AMY LEE !

A what? ….. copycat?

Martin Amm aka Struller, divulge the inner beauty of insects. This is the most captivating photo that I have ever seen. Love the details and most esp, I could really figure out how Martin took this picture (He used rodenstock rodagon 80mm f/4 lense for the capture, D200 camera)

P.S.

Cute avatar. Hihihihi.

BIG THANKS to Makstyle. I loooveee it so much! I gotta print this.

Yes Ron, ADVANCED Merry Xmas!

Found this picture in a flickr photostream and can’t resist myself not to post this as the POTW (Picture of the Week). Nice color theme and good quality. The thing is, it’s taken using an Apple iPhone without any post processing.

Why POTW? Coz it’s pboz’ new art style. Bah!

Nice theme on worpdress dashboard btw though it gave me confusion at first. Hehehe

Just recently, Clarence decided to finally leave DA, the means of not posting anymore deviations in his gallery the way Crazycool also did on his account.

To be honest, it’s really weird. I can’t figure out exactly why they have to leave DA.

Samurai X’s Ending Track. Download the song here:

kimi ga namida ni yureru toki
dou sureba ii n’ darou
sora wo miagete mo,kokoro ga

kizutsukanakute ii KOTO ni
daremo ga furete shimau
mizu no tsumetasa ni odoroku

tonari ni iru dake de
nanimo dekinai kedo
arittake no egao kimi dake ni
kakaete okuru yo, donna toki mo

shinjite ii yo, yume wa yatte kuru
kimi no tame dake ni
naite mo ii yo, donna kanashimi mo
tsubasa ni kawaru no sa

[Instrumental]

dareka wo mamoru koto nante

dakedo akirametaku wa nai
chippoke na yuuki demo
itsuka hontou no tsuyosa ni

chiisa na chou de sae

“itsuka, kitto” sonna kotoba shika
ienai jibun ga kuyashii kedo

[Instrumental]

sou sa kanarazu, yume wa yatte kuru

shinjite ii yo, yume wa yatte kuru
kimi no tame dake ni
naite mo ii yo, donna kanashimi mo
tsubasa ni kawaru no sa

English:

When you are shaken by tears,
I don’t know what to do.
I look up at the sky, and my heart
hurts.

Sooner or later, everyone gets hurt
by something they thought wouldn’t hurt them.
It’s like when you’re surprised by
how cold the water really is.

Even though I can’t do anything more
than stay by your side,
I’ll give you an embrace anytime you need,
with my utmost smile on my face, just for you.

It’s OK to believe; your dreams are coming
just for you.
It’s OK to cry; any kind of sadness
will turn into wings
for your heart.

[Instrumental]

Protecting someone
is simply impossible to do, isn’t it?
I can’t even stop the rain that falls on you.

But I don’t wanna give up,
even with only a little courage.
Someday, if I become used to
my real strength…

Even a small butterfly
can cross an ocean.
“Someday, for sure,” is all I can tell you,
but that is so frustrating to me.

It’s OK to believe; a rainbow is coming
to the tips of your toes.
It’s OK to believe; your time will come
soon, in the middle of
a new breeze.

[Instrumental]

So yes, your dreams are definitely coming.
Spread your arms open wide.
With no doubt, your tears know that;
they came from tomorrow
to tell you.

It’s OK to believe; your dreams are coming
Just for you.
It’s OK to cry; any kind of sadness
will turn into wings
for your heart.

Currently hooked with the old Cranberries song entitled “When You’re Gone”

And in the night,
I could be helpless
I could be lonely,
sleeping without you …

Hehehe
