Happy New Year

I wish your health and happiness this year.
Fortunately I have some good freinds by internet. I wish keep in touch with them for long time, and have nice and comfortable conversation.

This year, I like to visit some country to meet and spend nice time with my friends.
I believe this visiting make us more understand and get closer as nice friend.

Also I like to know their culture, language and especially taste of cusine.
Of course I intend to take photographs of town and landscape.
I like to take and create my sense of visual scene to my photographs.
Hope you enjoy to see it.

Greensleeves

"Greensleeves" is well known as a one of the old folk songs from England.
But I didn’t know, it was written by Henry VIII: King of England.
Maybe there is the story of this song.

Someday, I like to walk in the countryside in England to see peaceful green fields, while humming this song.

Greensleeves
England Air
Alas my love you do me wrong to cast me off discourteously
And I have loved you so long, so long, delighting in your company.
Greensleeves was all my joy, Greensleeves was my delight.
Greensleeves was my heart of gold, and who but my lady Greensleeves.

Thy smock of silk both fair and white with gold embroidered gorgeously,
Thy petti-coat of sandal right, sendal right, And these I bought thee gladly.
Greensleeves was all my joy, Greensleeves was my delight.
Greensleeves was my heart of gold, and who but my lady Greensleeves.

Greensleeves farewell adieu adieu, and God I pray to prosper thee,
For I am still thy lover true, lover true, Come once again and love me.
Greensleeves was all my joy, Greensleeves was my delight.
Greensleeves was my heart of gold, and who but my lady Greensleeves.

a friend from Bangkok

I recieved one sentence from my close friend in Bangkok Thailand.
What is friendship?
It's easy to say just a friend even met in first time.

As you know, it's really not easy to find real good friend.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

I once had a friend who grew to be very close to me. Once when we were sitting at the edge of a swimming pool, she filled the palm of her hand with some water and held it before me, and said this:

"You see this water carefully contained on my hand? It symbolizes Love."

This was how I saw it: As long as you keep your hand caringly open and allow it to remain there, it will always be there. However, if you attempt to close your fingers round it and try to posses it, it will spill through the first cracks it finds.

This is the greatest mistake that people do when they meet love...they try to posses it, they demand, they expect... and just like the water spilling out of your hand, love will retrieve from you .

For love is meant to be free, you cannot change its nature. If there are people you love, allow them to be free beings.

Give and don't expect.
Advise, but don't order.
Ask, but never demand.

It might sound simple, but it is a lesson that may take a lifetime to truly practice. It is the secret to true love. To truly practice it, you must sincerely feel no expectations from those who you love, and yet an unconditional caring."

Passing thought... Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take;
but by the moments that take our breath away.....

Life is beautiful!!! Live it !!!

onsen - hot spring with classic hotel

Izu peninsula is located south west about 200km far from Tokyo.
Where covered by mountains.
It's famous to get relax at onsen(natural mineral bath),

Drive a car about 3 hours alongs the seaside.

The traditional hotel called "ryokan" was faced to the sea.
All day long, I listened the sound of surf.
It has natural and mineral hot spring bath inside and outside.

Wake up by the sound of surf... sunlight pierced the cloud.
Color has changed in every one minutes.
Waves.. reflections.. mountains.. cliffs.. also small flowers too.

" To Make You Feel My Love " -- Garth Brooks

" To Make You Feel My Love " -- Trisha Yearwood

We all have sorrow in our heart
When lonliness arrive
When sadness appear to you

share it with yourself
nobody share your sorrow

you will see stars in the sky
friends will touch to your heart

to make you feel my love

Cry on my shoulder

I recieved a lovely song from my friend in Vietname.
I like to say " thank you so much " to her again.
My heart is still deeply mooved from this song.
Beautiful melody with emotional taste... also the lyrics has nice poetry.
When I listen to this song, I always think my precious friends ...
I'm so happy that I have really good friends in this world.
Thank you! my friends.
(here you can listen this song to click title of " Cry on my shoulder " in another website.

- Cry on my shoulder -
If the hero never come to you
If you need some one you're feeling blue If you're away from love and you're alone if you call your friends and nobody's home You can run away but you can't hide
Through a storm and through a lonely night Then I show you there's a destiny
The best thing in life
They're free
But if you wanna cry
Cry on my shoulder If you need someone who cares for you
If you're feeling sad, your heart gets colder Yes I show you what real love can do
If your sky is grey oh let me know There's a place in heaven where we'll go If heaven is a million years away
Oh just call me and I make your day When the night are getting cold and blue When the days are getting hard for you I will always stay here by your side I promise you I'll never hide

composed by Dieter Bohlenplay by Superstar
(I think this melody is filled by tender and warm German taste)
I wish all people could have peacefull life and good friends ... no more war

aroma of green

summer is over . . . . . . park was filled with fresh green aroma.

feel the touch of breeze
touch with trunk of a tree
hear the small birds singing
walking slow with relax

join with the peacefull heart of tender green

Romana or Napoletana?

Pizza in Napoli style has good taste of course, I enjoyed the taste of it when I visit Napoli. but I really love to have Roman styled pizza. --- which was baked well and have crispy texture.

yes ... each pizzeria has different taste. most of the time I appreciate the talent of chef in Rome.
baked in high temparature by blick oven, it bring me a happy moment of taste pizza.

with light body red wine like " Aglianico vino rosso " ..... I'm always have great time with fun.
mmm ...... it's better to have pizza with more inexpensive red wine .... I think.
