post it note tuesday

I got this idea from here.

Today until tomorrow, I am supposed to be so super busy for we are bound to have our four day camping trip at the Algonquin Park.

I don’t want to leave this blog unattended since it’s quite new.  If I were to ask, I want somebody to do a guest blog for me while I am away.  I have not guts to ask some of my favorite bloggers though.  I guess this is one of my attitudes that I need to work out.

This girl on my photos is Anthony’s niece, all taken from our very first camping this season.  Isn’t she pretty?

There are lots of photos that have yet to post but since I got crazy taking photos with film, I missed posting some of my digital photos.

I write like her and million little pieces

Did I tell you that I shoot most of the times in the van, and most of the times it is running too? Sometimes I get so upset because I want to stop and linger for a moment or maybe for the day. I want to wander on the road and unfold the beauty of the surrounding, often times the one with me cannot see.

It is just a tree, he will say. And when I show him the photo, edited or not, it will always be a mere picture.

But for me, a mere picture or not, just like flowers it commences me to my right to serenity.

PS.

This post was one of my drafts that I didn’t publish, I decided to remove the latter part for some personal reasons. And I removed the picture too.  But if you want to see a picture, you can visit my photo-journal here.

Also, today I saw this site.  It’s interesting because the site says I write like Margaret Atwood after I post the first paragraph of this post.  In another post I made, I write like the different writer and the other one is another writer.  Even though they don’t exactly giving me one that I write like, it is still interesting nonetheless.

My current reading is quite interesting too, the author likes the “and” word, it’s like he doesn’t want to end his sentences, sometimes I want to imitate him, and I imitate him.  I imitate him.  I imitate him. :P

still at the roadshow 400 antique's mall

I couldn’t get enough of them, my blackberry was really doing great even at low light but if  my Yashica has a flash, I wouldn’t resist to use it either.  that is if I am allowed to.

on the other side of note

every before or after monday, i received an email from Manic Monday, a weekly monday post topic, none of them, I did.  This week, some bloggers tackled about books

I read books, a habit that I learned to practice just recently, sometimes I feel that I don’t have the authority to talk about books, but I know one person who definitely has.

when you read kala’s post on good nights,bad nights on a perfect day for bananafish, you will have the feeling that you are reading your favorite book.  I love that girl.

it is tuesday but you can still answer these questions from manic monday meme”

Has reading a book ever changed your life? Which one and why, if yes?

Name one book you had to read but hated, and explain why you hated it.

If you could pick a book you’ve read to make into a movie, which one would you choose?

I only want to answer the third.  I guess Tara Road movie is better than on that book, it wasn’t interesting when I was reading it, i just feel obliged to finish it.

Did I answer the third or you pretty much know my answer on the second? :)

Just finished The Pilot’s Wife and I like it.

I remember only the good things

Like this poem I saw when we enter the arena to see more of the crafts they are selling at the festival.

The hair of this kid and his ice cream when I was about to take pictures of the mascot and the little girl.

The plastic flower ornament infront of the once a sleepy shop.

The fund drive for Haiti.

This old man wearing a clown suit and was making the children happy with his baloon creation.  He actually smiled and waved at me when he realized that I was taking a photo of him, and so he became one of my favorites at the Elmvale Maple Syrup Festival.

The huge booksale at the library.  All book sale are at a dollar price. I heart this library so much.

And this man serenading the book lovers while perusing on the book sale.

And they are my favorites, the good things I will remember.  I experienced all of them at the Elmvale Maple Syrup Festival last Saturday.  They are also the reason why I want to visit all the festival of all small town nearby.

Their arts, their culture and all little things.
