The Times we Smile




Life Goes On.
"Hope is like the sun, which, as we journey toward it, casts the shadow of our burden behind us." -Samuel Smiles
We're often so caught up with living that we tend to forget the purpose of what we do. Life is a simple journey, just that not every step is easy. Think of it this way: a journey without cause only becomes a journey without effect.











 Survival is not an instinct, it's a right.
To people like us, this bowl of noodles that costs $0.50 cents serves us well enough for a meal or two, but to people in third world countries, this bowl symbolizes the struggle between life and death.











Nothing lasts forever, that's why this moment is the most precious. 
Personally, I've always been fond of the colorful appeal of nature's blossoms, it's calm and soothing aroma delights my emotions in every little sense - until it perishes with the season.













You're Beautiful no matter What They Say

I find it terribly depressing to learn that the modern sympathy of what is beautiful and what is not resides in one's eyes. Although I agree appearance sells, one must also not forget that only beauty within the heart never grows old.














Life is a Gamble only if you chose to Bet.

Friends are those who let you think out loud, because they're there for who you are. It would be my pleasure to take this opportunity to thank you for being there.













Life is more than meets the eye.

Humans have five senses: Sight, Smell, Taste, Touch and Hearing. But we'd be an animal if we didn't know to think.















Not everything has a Safety Net

Before you make your decision to choose what action to take, just remember that in the end of the day, you have two goals: safety and success.














A friend in the dark, is better than being alone in the light.

I had a really comforting feeling as I was securing the final moments on the shutter button, perhaps it was because I was spending time with a few friends that I haven't seen in quite a while. It feels as though as time passes, we grow further apart from who we used to be, from the innocence we used to grasp. In essence, the lampshades felt like a warm fireplace on a chilling winter day.














Magic of Technology

From the era of film cameras, to slrs, dslrs, m43s, what great innovations has been brought into our world; go on now, *Free Your Imagination*

*Thanks to Kevin L. for the GF1 for this shot, I also featured your slogan.










Creativity is Priceless

When Fate Hands you a sour lemon, go on and make a lemonade. When Fate hands you a strip of leather, be creative.


















No one is Perfect.

Although I am not an admirable billiard or snooker player, I find it very amusing to spend time learning.













Practice Makes Perfect

I used to never be a fan of billiards nor snooker as I found it to be time consumingly boring, but then I realized for games like these, including Poker, victory usually follows the player who's most perserving - truly, a test of patience.













Hope is to be made, not chased.

They say that often or not, "practice makes perfect". I tend to agree as you revisit history, that many of the wildest achievements were indisputably carried out by distressed men and women who never stopped working. Other's argue that luck plays a grant part in success, then I'd like to reply that Success is the journey of effort, not a distination.












A picture can paint a thousand words. A melody can bring a rainbow of colors to silence.

As you do, I have my own particular instances of loniness, wonders, sorrow, love, joy, hope and other sensitivities - but no matter how different our experience proves to be, music becomes an universal medicine.
