Back from florida!

I just came back from florida yesterday. Had a pretty fun time even though I did get sick during my short stay there. Here are some pics from my short trip.

Above pictures were taken at this park, Paynes Prairie. Basically, its one huge area where there are no trees, and around it are forests. Pretty impressive, then along its border is one of the lakes which is part of the Univ of Florida campus.

Just a shot of Joy and I while strolling at the Epcot in Disney. It was a fun day checking the place out, though I didn't take that many pictures.

4th of July..

This year, I joined a few friends to watch the fireworks along the east river. I have it on video on my multiply site if you're interested in checking in out. Again, walked through central park and I took another set of pictures.

If there is one part of central park that I never get tired of, that would be the Mall. We actually spent almost a good 30 minutes just taking pictures of the area and playing around camera trying to get a really nice shot!

As is usually the case, I'll be posting them on multiply but since I haven't gotten to it, here are some of the shots I took during the day.

I was trying to imitate I shot I took of my dad when he was here a few months back. I just love how the perspective comes out.

I have no idea, who the couple were. But I just found it so sweet cause it was starting to rain and they cuddled up next to each other under the umbrella. Just had the impulse to take a picture of it =).

Trying to be artsy! Hehehe! (top picture - Karla, bottom picture - Chilai)

Grand Central at night, on the way back after the fireworks display.

Some pics from Joy's visit

As I said a few days ago, my cousin Joy was in town. Here are some pictures when we went around the city.

It was nice getting to stroll around central park again. Whenever I go stroll around, I really feel refresh and re-energized. I think just taking in the fresh air and just allowing yourself to relax and enjoy nature does wonders to our body and mind.

We visited the Apple store on 59th and 5th ave as well as the FAO Schwartz store. I just had to have Joy take this picture. (sort of an inside joke with me and franny)

from left to right : Joy, Kevin, Karla, Jonner and Chilai. We had a nice dinner at Dallas BBQ (I don't think we've ever had a bad experience there). Afterwards we hung out at Columbus Circle. You can view the other
pictures from my multiply site.

It was really great having Joy visit. Her timing was perfect since I was getting down just hanging around in my apartment.

left-brain or right-brain?







Are you a more right-brained or left-brained thinker?




You are a left-brained thinker! You tend to be very logically and analytical. You express yourself best through verbal communications and are not that creative. You have a good mind for math and a great concept of time. You set goals for yourself and solve problems slowly, step by step. You believe that something is either right or wrong with no inbetween grounds. Since you're organized, you're rarely late to anything. Overall, you are very smart and logical. Good for you!
