I regret that I haven’t updated this blog lately. I’m loving the portability of my iPhone and ease of using instagram that I’m getting used to posting my photos there. I will try to post some of them here as much as I can. For now, you can head to my tumblr or flickr page to see some of my recent photos.

As the lyrics of a classic song goes, love is a many splendored thing. It is simple yet complex as this photo depicts. This is a photo I took of two friends just relishing the company of each other, incidentally a jogger came in the picture. Whether it is just a coincidence or not, most of the time this is the case in some relationships and a cause of rift–3rd parties. But still love endures…

Last year in Bangkok before the big riot, despite the brewing trouble, everyone was in a festive mode, at least, trying to.

Personally, by the way, I’m in the band! yes, passed an audition to join my church’s praise and worship team. Although I wouldn’t mind joining this band, if only I have big lungs!

Make My Life a Prayer
By Keith Green

Make my life a prayer to you
I wanna do what you want me to
No empty words and no white lies
No token prayers no compromise

I wanna shine the light you gave
Thru your son you sent to save us
From ourselves and our despair
It comforts me to know you’re really there

Chorus
Well I wann thank you know
For being patient with me
Oh it’s so hard to see
When my eyes are on me
I guess I’ll have to trus
And just believe what you say
Oh you’re coming again
Coming to take me away

I wanna die and let you give
Your life to me so I might live
And share the hope you gave me
The love that set me free

I wanna tell the world out there
You’re not some fable or fairy tale
That I’ve made up inside my head
You’re God the son and you’ve risen from the dead

Chorus

I wanna die and let you give
Your life to me so I might live
And share the hope you gave me
The love that set me free

Hunger can be a place of darkness. For cows, it literally is. The cow’s hunger’s hollow, the one that you see here, means that he is starved hungry. Taken in Cambodia.

Longing for freedom that will never come. A chicken in Northern Lao PDR waits for customers…
