97

I don't remember if we celebrated grandma's 97 last year or did I miss her actual age. To be blunt and honest with you, no one in the family knows her exact age. So year after year, we just keep on counting the number. Whether she is 95, 96, 97, or 100, only God knows. Did she get a birth certificate almost 100 years ago? who knows.. Even if she did have it, bringing a piece of paper along with you to the United States of America 30-40 years ago doesn't seem to make sense. So, why bother with the actual age when we can celebrate the fact that we're alive?

In my experience, after receiving a kidney transplant, everyday is a brand new day. A lot of people say, "same shit different day," and "same old same old. But for me, everyday is a brand new day to celebrate life! Whether i'll be doing something to make progress towards something bigger or doing something new, everyday, in a sense, is a birthday for me.

summer camping

it is safe to say that my pictures and my photography skill are slowly diminishing. these busy days, my passion for cameras are fading away. on top of that, time is becoming more precious by the second. with that being said, my pictures are less crisp, more crooked, and kind of out of focus. it is what it is, i suppose.

anyways, this year's church camp was at miller canyon in hesperia. although the weather was high and the air was dry, it wasn't too hot and it wasn't too cold. the campsite was more like los angeles, but a bit hotter during the day and colder during the night. we didn't get a chance to go to the lake because it was very packed, so we take alot of time relaxing here. overall, labor day weekend camping was really fun, educational, and at the same time quite tiring.

until next time.

august kicks

august was one heck of a busy month. weekends after weekends, there was always something or an event that occurred. because of that reason alone, i missed out on so many shoes and other limited releases. just yesterday, (september 1) i got back from my church's summer camp. but you know what? these events were so fun that getting shoes every weekend is not that fun anymore. so it's time to squeeze down and be picky at what to buy from now on.

enjoy just some of the shoes i picked up in the month of august.
