Parade of Dreams

I had no idea what to post that represented "Dream", so I browsed through my photos (or whatever I had left after a virus took over my computer), and found pictures of the Parade of Dreams at Disneyland.

P.S. I said I was only going to be on a hiatus and I have come back!

Perfect Setting (Sarcastic)

What a very odd place to plant these Global Warming advocates. That power plant is located close to Lake Powell in Utah.

Portion of Evolution

I decided to change the title. In the front, you see a 5-year old and in the back, you see a 13-year old. It's like a photo version of an Evolution chart, except this one has to do with a boy's age.

United We Sit

I know, the color's gross. Although most of the people visit the temple are Chinese, you can't forget that they all came to/live in America for a reason, whether it was for democracy, the nice Californian weather, etc.

Just Add Water

I don't like Aquafina, though. And no, all bottled water do not taste the same.

*Sorry for not updating very often anymore. I've been busy with schoolwork.

No Parking

I don't recall seeing one of these signs before in the past ten years of living in my current residence. They were everywhere in my neighborhood.

Emo Kid

He's really a fun-loving guy, despite his common sad appearances.

Always Look Up

PHEW! I got to the Photo Friday website before 10PM (Pacific Time) JUST in time to post the link to this "Self-Portrait" of me.

The Gentle Dragon

Just when I thought I didn't take any pictures of the lion dance that were worth posting on my blog because I sat so far away from the performers, I get near the "lions" AFTER the dance and wait for SOMETHING to happen. I saw how little kids were petting the lions and waited for the lion to be in a good position where I could capture its bright features and a cute kid to come up and pet it. This is the one. Happy last day of the Chinese New Year celebration!

*For the first time in my life, I am hoping for rain. You MIGHT see why later this week.

Together In Peace

I really like this photo. I tried to look for something...I guess beautiful and pleasant looking to photograph. I just saw the lanterns and took one random picture, not even steadying the camera. I notice I say "I" a lot in my blogs. How conceited of me.

Last Year's New Year

Happy New Year! So I don't know why Blogger is being a little evil. It doesn't allow me to add pictures using the dimensions that I put. I think it's working now, though. I took this photo last year at the Hsi Lai Temple during Chinese New Year.

Drama in Journalism

This building contains the drama room and journalism room (boo). The day was going to become a cloudy and rainy night.

*This is the last sky picture of the week (aren't you glad?).

Paint the Sky

Guess I'm still posting sky pictures. The sky looks like a painting.

*This year's Valentine's Day has been a really bad one, and no, it does not have anything to do with love and Valentines and mushy gushy stuff.
**Two out of two friends chose this photo to be submitted to PhotoFriday (I submitted at 9:59PM Pacific Time)!

Lift That Spirit

I like this picture. That's all. I think I'll put up a non-Sky picture tomorrow.

Look At the Bright Side

He wanted me to take an "emo" picture.

Hide and Seek

It kind of looks like the painting. The camera was under the night setting. Since pictures seem to turn out blurry when taken in the dark, this photo came out looking...odd but I like it. You can see the moon peeking out. This was taken during the Mid-Autumn Festival (watching for the full moon to come out).

*My sky pictures aren't that impressive-looking.

Laid-back

This week's PhotoFriday challenge is "Sky" and I have so many sky pictures, but I don't know which one to enter. So for the next few days, I will post Sky pictures. My birthday party had everything: friends, kites, fresh air, and the clear sky.
Equipment: Olympus D-580
*I really want to save up for a more professional digital camera.
**UPDATE: It is now April, and I just wanted to brighten this photo a bit. It looked too dark and "emo".

Right on La Monde

I was hoping to get a motion blur from that car but no. My cell phone camera's shutter speed

is pretty high.

*Visitors are great. Comments are great, too.

Flame On

I think this guy hates me now. Anyway, my mom gave me this lighter to light the candles on my birthday cake. For some reason, it just wouldn't light. The flame came out intermittently but the winds (we flew kites, too) just kept blowing it out. After about half an hour, the lighter worked semi-well with something to block the wind (eg. cup). The guys used it to do crazy things.
