Cherry Blossoms at High Park 2011

May is here and it is a month when Cherry Blossoms started to show its beauty. It is known as Japanese Cherry Hill CherryOriental Cherry or East Asian Cherry. It is sometimes called "Sakura".


Every year, many photo-journalist in Toronto would venture out and roam around in High Park at this time of  year to witness the blossoming wonders of the Cherry Blossoms. Yesterday, I went there equipped with my blissful camera. The weather was not that charming, but it doesn't mean that I could not take few pictures of the Cherry Blossoms. There were many people when I came, they were also taking photos and others were just sight seeing.

Here are my few takes without photoshop. Heaven knows how I don't like photoshop, but sometimes as the person explored the world of photography, photoshop is expected. However, the pictures below aren't photoshop because I wanted to post it originally as it taken. As I said earlier, weather was not that cooperative, it must have been great if the sun were shining and the sky was blue.





It was perfect timing when I took a shot of the bird above the Cherry Blossoms. 


The sky was smoky grey. 


I thought at first it's totally  pink, but it is slightly pinkish. 


yet...it's absolutely white. 



Lovers were also enjoying the view and forgive me if I sneaked. (just hoping that they would not stumble upon my blog :-) 


though the weather was not that great, the amazing Cherry Blossoms gave the whole park a glow. 


i definitely stole a shot when this girl pose for a picture. 


it was an amazing experience how this beautiful cherry blossoms smiled at my camera. 


totally loved its color..


i was really looking for a good focus when I stumbled on this one. 


I will definitely come back when some of the petals would turn to slightly pink or into more pinkish before it's gone. I hope the weather would also open up and shared its brightness for my next visit.

Romance vs. Reality

The first time I set my eyes upon him, I thought it was "Love at first sight". Geezz, geezz... that was I thought. Ahh, well? Who would not? Hot, gorgeous, Oh crap- tantalizing eyes that took my breath away. And, lips that could launch thousand lips (tsek!tsek!) Butterflies in my stomach (flipping inside and out), Heart beats like a tambourine (tsug! tsug!) and I can't take my eyes off him (whatta me?) Huh? The worse thing about Italians, they know that they are at the top attractive people on earth, according to the study of "Whose the most good looking, gorgeous hot specimen on earth". In the book "Eat, Pray and Love" by Elizabeth Gilbert, she described Italian as "Devishly attractive, Cruelly handsome and surprisingly muscular" (wow) And yes, I truly admit whole heartedly that I was once a victim of such cruelly handsome Italian guy (too cool to be real, as a matter of fact). But yeah, I was and yes too bad! Yo

The Rights of Women

...in simple terms, let's analyze and scrutinize all of these rights one by one..., you may be against or may agree with me, but well? i was reading this book, (very very very old book, 1976- yah! too old), 'how to be an assertive, not aggressive woman'. 1. the right to have rights and stand up for them (oh yes, women need this!) 2. the right to dignity and self-respect (every woman do) 3. the right to consider your own needs (yes, in proper perspectives) 4. the right to self-fulfillment (too brainy is not that bad, ehh?) 5. the right to accept challenges (so, i have a right to take risk, make mistakes, and learn from every life's challenges) Sounds cool! 6. the right to determine your own life-style (so, i don't have to apologize or to explain why I'm still single?) Hmnn-- 7. the right to change yourself, your behaviour, values, life situations ( well...? i don't have to feel guilty if i'm unpredictable or erratic?- okay, scapegoat- (heh

Weird Dream

Last night, I was up too late. My brain won't make me sleep. My eyes kept on glaring and staring at the walls. I tried to close it but my brain snapped it open. I reclined on my bed while my back leaning on the yellow paint wall and grabbed my laptop. I kept signing in and signing out. What was the used? I turned it off. Darkness invades. I switched on my night lamp to give me enough light. Midnight came. I went back to bed; hoping and wishing that sleep will claim me and sent me to nothingness. I knew that snowflakes kept on falling on my window pane. Turned. Flipped to one side. Then, the other side. I heard my heater's sound. I heard my brain talking, conversing the other side of my brain.  I closed my eyes, but my brain kept on saying something which I could n't grasped the words. Turning to one side, I kicked my blanket away. I hid my face on my pillow and controlled my breathing. Breathe. In. Out. Inhale. Exhale. I was thinking about the blue skies and th
