I should have do this more often. Sit at the sidewalks while waiting for the bus, wear my very happy smile brought by beautiful scenes I saw at the lakeshore and take pictures from the ground. It doesn’t matter how long I walked.  It doesn’t matter if I made that wrong decision of leaving the bus stop two minutes before it came.

With that little ironic thing, I know I am living my life to the fullest.

–she’s like a fine day with fleecy clouds breezing in,  just when you’re expecting a storm– Barbara Nickel ( Hannah Waters and the daughters of Johann Sebastian Bach.)

Now:
•    I don’t care if the bus left me a hundredth of times.
•    I don’t care if I don’t have change for bus fare,
•    or I lost $10 and because of that I can never take a bus for that day.
•    I don’t care if I left, or if I lost my debit card again.
•    I don’t even care if I don’t have PIN for my credit card.
When I see how gorgeous my surrounding is…I don’t care no more.  I can walk anyway and take pictures.

I was trying to tweak them so they will look more presentable, adjust more exposure, use presets but I got used to film photos that once I scanned them, I post them.  I don’t think I will be comfortable to photo editing anymore after hooking up with film so I can only show you what I got or what I can do.

Sorry for filling your eyes with ducks. But if you want more, here to more ducks, and more ducks from my film

It is Remembrance Day. I don’t wear a poppy as some Canadians do, and I am not sure if I have seen Asian-Canadians wearing one. But the atmosphere was so strong as I’ve seen many people in uniforms when I was walking downtown.  There was grouped of people marching towards Centennial Park and at the hospital this morning, we were asked to give a moment of silence in remembrance of the soldiers, men and women who served and continues to serve during times of war or conflict of peace.

For me, I remember those young fallen soldiers in Afghanistan. I don’t understand why they are there.

i don’t know if i heard it right. i asked Ant’s nurse for a hospital gown before I left this evening, she asked me to check the third drawer where the gowns usually settled in.  of course, i know gowns always there but as a sign of respect, i always have to ask first.

when i turned my back and walked to Ant’s room, I heard she says “she should work here”
