One Rich Guy, Many Poor Nations

2009-06-25T09:20:00.003+08:00

The flags of the world look on
As one man's power rises

This guy has probably more money than many countries in the world.

Memories of a War

2009-06-24T06:08:00.003+08:00

If I had more time to be reflective, while I was here
I would read the names, trace some of them with my fingers
Or just stand quiet.
I do not know you,
but I pray
that your deaths are not in vain.

Reaching for the Moon

2009-06-24T05:43:00.003+08:00

Reflection on the command module of the first manned mission to land on the moon.

Find me, where,
Maybe on the moon,
Where the shadows are many,
And the sun gone too soon.

Playing with Mirrors at Novotel Suvarnabhumi

2008-02-05T22:34:00.000+08:00

Thai Airlines has been treating its passengers in transit in Thailand to an overnight stay at Novotel in Suvarnabhumi Airport - Thailand's spanking new international airport.

It was quite a treat! And it's free!
And there's free buffet breakfast too... yummy!

Here, I played around with the shiny things in the bathroom - the mirrors, of course - and the faucet.

Friends, Mirrors and the Soul

2008-01-04T19:00:00.000+08:00

There was this really nice message that got forwarded way back, I can't remember when.. and I probably have that message kept somewhere.. I just can't look for it now. But it says that friends are a mirror to our soul and each friend reflects a different facet of us.

Here's celebrating the friendships of then and now... and friends to come... as the soul continues its journey of growth and being found.

Mirror Projects at the US of A

2007-12-12T21:54:00.000+08:00

This one was at Florida's Magic Kingdom. I'm really not sure what the sign is for -- maybe a clothing shop.

The next four photos were taken with Christmas balls. The first three were from MGM Studios, Florida, I think - we went to at least five theme parks, I just remember that in this photo, it was the theme park where "The Mummy" roller coaster ride was. I didn't ride. I made sure to ask if it was a ride or a show. The attendant said "The Mummy" was a ride. No more roller coasters for me. Ever. The theme parks had these huge Christmas trees with huge Christmas balls -- and I had a ball taking mirror projects. The fourth photo in this series was from Islands of Adventure.

These two shots were taken from "The Bean" - that famous (?) sculpture (?) at Chicago's Millennium Park. It was nice, actually.

Bangkok Mirror Project

2007-09-16T21:56:00.000+08:00

Most of the "projects" here were taken from the Grand Palace. Everything there was so elaborately decorated with tiles, glass, other shining, shimmering things --- lots of gold coating.

Can you find me?

I don't think you'll find me here -- but you can see Clark Kent somewhere.

This one was on a tuktuk, Bangkok's version of the rickshaw, or of our own tricycle. It is a widely used form of urban transport in Bangkok . The driver was supposed to take us to some great temple. He did take us to a temple - but it was a minor one that didn't seem to be in the tourist map.

Mirror Projects at Singapore

Mirror Projects at the National Planetarium, KL

2007-08-27T09:35:00.000+08:00

There was this astronaut suit at the National Planetarium in Kuala Lumpur. It was very friendly -- allowed us to take photos of ourselves with his helmet. :)

Mirrors (Can't remember what it is) at the National Planetarium, KL.

I think this was some device to demonstrate lasers, or infrared rays or something. I guess I didn't take notes. :)

Aceh Mirror Project

2007-08-25T13:17:00.000+08:00

The husband and I did a seven-month stay at Aceh, Indonesia where we stayed in a small room rented out by a nice grandmother we call Nenek (Acehnese for Grandmother). Our small room had a mirror which afforded us an opportunity to do some mirror projects. The photo below is our "Indonesian look."

Shades Project

2007-07-05T22:05:00.000+08:00

This is my shades project -- mirror projects with shades.

I can't remember where I got these ones.

But this one was taken from The Grand Palace, Bangkok, Thailand.

Inside a moving tricycle. The colors mix well. Find me on the side mirror.

Meeting Distraction

2005-12-16T20:27:00.000+08:00

I made myself busy while my officemates discussed the relevance of project based monitoring and evaluation to the organization's mandate. The shiny metal legs of our tables and my officemate's camera phone was a breather.
