wait for me - aspetammi

several months ago i was introduced to the music of pink martini, a new york based group of music. they played, composed various kind of music into a very nice blended new atmosphere rich tunes for me, which is not overdo .... it is just nice! perfect nice....!

thomas f. lauderdale is the leader of the band, china forbes is their wonderful lady singer. one of my favorite tune is aspetammi (wait for me).

i was just back from a trip from a country where people wouldn't think i will come to visit. but finally i did. out of expectations, i could not explore much. my best friend who happened staying there for a 2 years period of 'giving back' service, was very sick. dengue..... the day i arrived was the first day of the bad fever started, followed by a painful headache....

everything happens for a reason....., i meant to be there, at the right time, at the right place ... even for the occasion that no one would like to be in. i meant to be here, to write a note again for my blog... sharing beautiful music and short story a chapter of my life.

one day, i will be back to that country.... i will walk along the beach, i will explore the surroundings, i will observe the people - many of them still living in poverties. lack of education, the government still struggling in finding the right formula to run the country... they are growing, they are developing, a process that will never end until the day when the world stop spinning....

on the aircraft that brought us out of the country, i looked at my friend face who tried to hold the pain, then i looked far away outside the window of the plane which start speeding to take off.....

aspetammi...., wait for me...., one day i come back to you....

bridge over troubled water

life is so unfriendly lately, but who cares..... this is just a station of transit.
live the life - i only have - the only chance nicely.., get the best out of everything.
i know in many cases i am not that optimistic..., but i am learning to be stronger and stronger everyday.

i will always remember friends in difficulties, friends who forget me in my difficulties, and friends who created difficulties for me.

emphasizing friends in difficulties, i found (not many) who truly like "bridge over troubled water", a legendary song by simon and garfunkel , released as a single in 26th january 1970, and in just a month and 2 days it sat at number one billboard 100 chart for six weeks. the single was sold around 6 million copies around the world.



early morning, 4 sept 2012. i was alone and decided to take some photographs of a river which i like very much. wanted to try my new kenko kb-67nd8 67mm standard coated neutral density filter 8X.

i like the result pretty much, but need more time to explore on using it. it was a working day, and i was not having enough time to 'play with'. will do again shortly, can be at the same river different spot, or totally different object.

see you, and be always optimistic, this world is just a station of transit, while we are here, harness that!
