Surprisingly some pictures turn out nice. The raw picture was dark grayish, I was about to scrap it away. Curiously, I slide some buttons to brighten it, and suddenly got this beautiful picture:

And this is, I think, my next best shot, and also my favorite:

In a totally unrelated subject, I love pink rose:

This beautiful song Falling Slowly that somehow makes me think of the main characters in Twilight series.

I don’t know you but I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me and always fool me
And I can’t react

And games that never amount
To more than they’re meant
Will play themselves out

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We’ve still got time
Raise your hopeful voice, you have a choice
You’ll make it now

Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can’t go back
The moods that take me and erase me
And I’m painted black

You have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It’s time that you won

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We’ve still got time
Raise your hopeful voice, you have a choice
You’ve made it now

Falling slowly sing your melody
I’ll sing along

It was upon a summer’s shiny day,

When Titan fair his beams did display,

In a fresh fountain, far from all men’s view,

She bathed her breast, the boiling heat to allay;

She bathed with roses red, and violets blue,

And all the sweetest flowers, that in the forest grew.

- Sir Edmund Spenser

AJ got me a new Nokia n79, since my old cellphone died a long while ago. I’m very excited with this new one, and hopefully I’ll remember to bring this everyday… I’m famous for forgetting my phone at home or not answering calls.

Our friend D & E got married on Mother’s Day, May 10. Here’s our runaway bride:

On the other note, My dad started gardening at his backyard last year. The flowers are beautiful. My favorite colour of a tall bearded Iris from the garden:

Oh, and I love the new Star Trek movie! We watched it a few weeks ago. We’ve also watched Angels and Demon. Definitely need to re-read the book.

We went to watch Disney on Ice on December 26, 2008 with some friends. The Incredibles saved the day in Disneyland park, saving Mickey and Minnie from the villain Syndrome.

Here is Donald Duck, one of my favorite Disney characters

and Mickey Mouse!

I pray You’ll be our eyes
And watch us where we go
And help us to be wise
In times when we don’t know

Let this be our prayer
As we go our way
Lead us to a place
Guide us with Your Grace
To a place where we’ll be safe

Lyrics from The Prayer - Celine Dion & Andrea Bocelli. I think, one of my many favorites Christmas song.

And here is our Christmas tree shot, taken just before we opened our presents on Christmas Eve

Here’s a picture of our Christmas tree from last year with the presents

Here is some pictures taken on the Remembrance Day 2007, at the Niagara Parks Heritage Trail.
