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!

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.

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.

Lift That Spirit

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

Everything You Need

Chinese New Year is taken seriously at Hawaii Supermarket. They have two or three aisles filled with food items for Chinese New Year.

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.

Please Just Smile...

My brother does not know how to smile. Whenever my family or I try to take a picture of him, he either makes a weird face or doesn't smile (maybe he wants to hide his braces). He looks really...unattractive (I'm being nice) in this picture but I kind of like how this photo turned out, the background all blurry and the focus is on him. This was taken by me in early January at Mount Baldy while going down the ski lift.
