Carol of the Bells version of Celtic Woman is the best. It even made me feel as if angels were singing to me. Great voice and nice fiddler. I wish I could play like her. Oh, I miss my violin. This reminded me that since its holidays, I should play my violin before work and school consumed my time again.

Here are some of the images, put into a collage, I captured during yesterday’s shooting for the AVP to be shown on November 11′s inauguration.

We send my brother to the airport and boy I’m missing him already. I didn’t realize it would be this sad to part from him temporarily. We don’t get to see each other everyday since I started working but the fact that he’ll be flewing hundred miles apart from us is just sad.

Today is Kerie’s birthday! She’s in Japan so I couldn’t surprise her. You see we have this tradition of giving gifts on Christmases and birthdays and we would hand it in unexpected way possible.

♫ ♪ I’d build myself up,
And fly around in circles,
Waiting as my heart drops,
And my back begins to tingle
Finally could this be it or

Should I give up,
Or should I just keep chasing pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere,
Or would it be a waste?
Even if I knew my place should I leave it there? ♪ ♫

I always prided myself as a logical girl, that is head-over-feelings type of girl. I believed that I’m like that for a long time until comes the moment when my being not-emotional was put to the test.

I’m loving this song by Train. The melody is so simple and the message is so sweet it will melt your heart.

I’m deeply worried by the latest happenings in the world today. The chaos in the middle east is not yet resolved then Japan was hit by a 8.9 earthquake following a tsunami which claimed the lives of 10,000 people as of this writing.
