The hive of lost memories

It’s been a long long time since I wrote on my blog.  I ran out of ideas.  No motivation.  However, in my own defense, I’ve been “tweeting” more on FB because I don’t see a point to blog with only one or two sentences.  Unfortunately, FB is only for people on the friend list.  Somehow [...]

In my dream…
I was a FBI special agent responded to the call of duty to save our beautiful city – Seattle and its space needle from the terrorist attack.  The attack plan was armed and it can happen in any moment.  I was picked up at the airport by 3 local agents and briefed about [...]

Finally got around to upload some “abstract” images I took at the Riviera Jazz Fest in Playa.  Spyro Gyra on 11/27 was the best night of all.

5 days, 15 dives…not as much as I wanted to but I got a good glimpse of what Mexico has got to offer: the varieties, the technicallity, the challenges, the adventure and the heart racing.
There are shore divings, cave divings, cavern divings, wreck divings, reef divings…you name it.  That is why I was able to [...]

Sound interesting and exciting…can’t wait.  This is what my potential dive buddy said about the pit:
Details of THE PIT:
*cave/cavern with  maximum depth of 138 ft
*You can see “halocline” effect ( where fresh and salt water mix)
*At the bottom You can also see human bones.
I like the human bones part of the dive…awesome!

We changed our biking routine this weekend by taking it to Lake Tahoe.  We started out at the rim trail head on the 50 near 89 by Spooner Lake heading south via Kingberry.

This I believe the summit for Kingberry trail.

Beside beautiful landscaping, Lake Tahoe offers a varieties of trails and difficulties but be prepared to [...]

It’s a tough choice – giving up cycling or photography?  Weekend is shorter now with addition chores and obligations.  Biking has always been a part of my life since the age of 8.  Growing up in Viet Nam, that was ‘the’ way to get around.  Even on a date.    I remember in my 6th grade, [...]

Happy New Year!
Starting today I am moving so I am just going to keep this post brief and to the point…there are lot of packing and unpacking to do.  Furthermore, I don’t see myself posting anything anytime soon due time constraint.
Personally and worldly 2008 was one heck of a year.  Personally, I am addicted to [...]

Taken at Hai Hau, Nam Dinh in Viet Nam where my ancetor was from.  The setting was untouched, I left everything exactly the way it was.  The bike was real.  It was ridden by an old man in the village.  Normally I would take at least 3 exposures for each setting but with this one [...]
