Dead Can Dance

thank you Dead Can Dance for a wonderful evening
last night at Humphreys by the Bay, your music is magic!

I saw you at the same venue in 2005,
and I thought such an amazing experience will never repeat and it did,
thank you!!

I truly enjoyed the new album pieces, and the beloved old tunes.
The Arab song from Andalucía, Spain,

and the "roughly translated as I am a Junkie" were a delight too,
we love you in San Diego, please keep coming back!!

Lisa Gerrard and Brendan Perry

busy with photos and work

my poor blog has been so abandoned!
i've been pretty busy at work
attending a conference where i took over 500 photos
here one of the hotel

you can see all the photos I took at the CASAS website here
http://www.casas.org/training-and-support/SI/gallery

and enjoy the video Jared made!
http://www.casas.org/training-and-support/SI
I did some of those interviews and the photos were taken by me
so see? i was just busy working, and sadly not blogging...
but, hey! i am back!

new casa

i've been living in my new home for about 6 months

but somehow it still feels new

every day that goes by, i am thankful to life and my mom

for being able to live in such a lovely little place

i love art but these days i cannot afford buying a lot of it

so i find comfort on having 'original' art

the idea of having 'original' art started with a gift from my friends

m&m... they enlarged and framed this photo of Herr Gato

as my house warming gift

the picture looked nice but it was missing a companion! so i enlarged a photo of a tree i took in Germany while visiting Herr Thilo

here is a link to the original photograph,

der Geist Baum auf Bielefeld

i also try to keep only natural plants in my home

a lovely orchid and some older plants i brought from the older home

and then i have this lovely enlargement that Insky sent me a while ago

both the Insky and the Herr Gato are originals too

for my bedroom these photos i took a while ago from  Julian
