Who amongst you have watched the I Am Number Four? Yeah Alex Pettyfer is cute and yeah he has a great body but what attracted me in the movie was Agron's collection of vintage cameras. By the way, Dianna really looked like a sissy in that movie. I would really much to be like Number Six. The red bike really said everything. The girl's got spunk. Anyways, did some research and found some of the cameras that were used in the movie. I hope that my days to go outstation will come soon so I can get hold of a SX-70 & Canon A-1. Maybe a birthday with tulips around perhaps. So, checkout the cameras:

2. Hasselblad 500 C/M 120mm SLR (1964-Present); The character is shown holding this very expensive camera (or a similar Hassy) in a rather anachronistic fully decked out camera store in her small rural town. Check out the large Kodak boxes on the shelf behind the counter!

3. Canonet 28 series 35mm Rangefinder (1962-1980); She gives this one to the main character to take his own photos along with a roll of B&W film in a _metal_ canister...talk about retro. She also describes the cool way it's "light leaks" affects it's photos. Even lomography gets mentioned in this movie!

4. Ricoh XR-X 3PF (possibly some other newish 35mm SLR; not sure) (1964-1977); She is shown taking photos at the fair with this camera.

Feeling down in the dumps. This feeling is too overwhelming. It's sad to end something great and yet I know the other side is just as great and even better. Still it's a gamble, it's uncertain and it's my turn to roll the dice. Everyday my heart is beating faster and sheesh...I feel weird and scared. Scared of the unknown. God give me strength. In conjunction with Maal Hijrah and this new year, let's pray for the best in whatever undertakings we will be taking in the future.

"Nothing thicker than a knife's blade separates happiness from melancholy."

I wish to be and serene again

How the environment in OU looked like when everyone was playing hide n seek.

Been listening to my man Jared Leto screaming out Closer to the Edge. Damn the drums are super cool...try listening at 01:27min and you'll know what I mean. I'm blasting it up with this headset...wish I had Dr Dre's Beats (costs only $199 for the basic one honey). I want a customized one by the way. One of the many things in my wish list:

Shannon Leto rocks big time! I love the morphing of the rythms and gosh, with 7-8 hours practice daily no wonder he's damn good. *Excuse me for all the swearing..hahaha* By the way, he uses Vic-Firth 5an drum sticks. =)

The guitar print really got me into the mood. I found some other great prints for inspiration too! Check them out...

I know that this entry is a bit late but it's never too late to show love...especially to our beloved FATHERs. Happy Belated Father's Day to all the dads out there!

I was going through the net last week and stumbled upon this very touching photo journal - Days With My Father by Philip Toledano.


The pictures are simple yet each picture brought a deluge of tears and at the end was the big ugly cry - as per one of the comments said. I was fighting back the tears in the office when I was reading this journal *yeah I read it while I was at the office*. It was a wonderful tribute that Philip made for his ailing father for the last 3 years of his life. I strongly recommend everyone to read Philip's journal. It's definitely a wake-up call for all of us - to cherish all our loved ones and for us to be reminded that we have these wonderful people we call our parents to be here with us now. This is our chance to show them as much love as we can since we never know what tomorrow holds.

I may not have the world's best relationship with my dad but I love him for everything that he has done for our family and for all the great advice he has given me all this while. He is the foundation of our family and my role model. Hey I even wrote an essay about him in Form 5 and got 40/40 peeps! Keep your feet on the ground - that's what he would say when something good happens like me getting a job with Oracle, getting my Oracle Certification, etc. The main thing that I have learned from my dad - no matter how high you get or become, don't forget your roots and be humble. Thanks dad for these priceless life lessons. No words can express how much I love you.

This year I wished my dad happy father's day via email. I shared with him this link and told him how much he means to me and that I love him so much. His reply:

Dibah,

I read it and felt deeply touched. Luv ya very much.

Luv
Ayah

For those who still have their dads around, get your butt moving and don't be afraid to hug your dad, give him a kiss on the cheeks and say I Love You. Prayers to those whom fathers have gone. Forever they stay in our minds and hearts. Don't worry - they may be gone in this world today, but they will always be in our hearts forever.

Lastly I leave you with what Nicholas D. Kristof wrote in his New York Times article:
Celebrate the bequest of fatherhood with something simpler, deeper and truer than an artificial verse on a store-bought card. Speak and hug from your heart and soul — while there is still time.

~Ayah, You are the King of My Heart~

Damn, someone get me a tissue to wipe away these tears...
