Emotion

 Painting & photo mixed by maya

Last for a few day I had to watch myself having a lot of anger and frustration in me. I guess I need more meditations... 

Editing

I had some fun with turning color photography into Sepia.

Nothing is wasted in HER garden

1/28/2011

It was rain for all last night through the morning.
I had to get up in the middle of night by drops of rain hitting on my forehead.
The house I am loving in living  has only tile roof, so when there is a lot of rain the drops of rain just kicks in. Is this the cost for living in the humble house or what? well, I guess we have to find a way not to have rain inside before it invading my house...

 The path I walk up and down at least once a day.

A funny story,

I was walking down to the town this morning. 

A car was coming toward me and stopping by me.

A lady, seemingly a mother of those kids in the car asking if they can take picture of me with them.

I felt funny to be asked for such thing like that.  But I ended up smiling at their small camera and answered to their question, "I am a Korean".

They've never seen CHINO before? ^^

yeah! to them all Asian is Chino.^^

hello sunset!

A view from my house.
It's been a while to see you.

we are settling.

There are so many thing we need to do around our new house; putting chicken fence so I can start gardening, we need flowers around house and greens to eat. But we will do one at a time, little by little.

last Night

 

It was very foggy, the mist was every where in the valley.

long exposure.

Progress

 hard working

 rewarding is coming.

 Feel blessed to have the house.

 we'll make a table with this wood.

Yasu is bring up the fresh cut wood from almost bottom of the mountain to up house, 

so heavy!

he made so many trips to bring up all the wood.

Kilala loves music

My Kilala loves listening to Papa's music.

moving again

I've been going up to my new humble house every day just to be more comfortable with hiking up and cleaning the chicken shits until we move in.^^ It will be all good once we make the chicken fence.
Friend of us Pedro put some shelves for me yesterday, he is very handy.
We'll move in on 15th of January 2011.

I realized that how much important to be in the place where I feel comfortable and creative.
About those 3 months I suffered from closed-phobia. So I am so looking forward to be in open surroundings.

while we were there the rain started pouring down for about 20min and every surrounding seemed greener and mythic in the mist.

 a view from the house, I can't wait to get up in the morning in this house.

2011 will be beautiful

You are almost here, I can see you now.

I am waiting for you.

We'll have great time together.

He is the one

He is going to live with us from early February.

Can't wait to have him in my life.

Ups and Downs

My cat Kilala's health seems on the roller-coaster.

One day he is doing great and next day not so good.  

Last night, at one point, Yasu and I thought we would loose him. 

Thank God. He pulled through it again. 

 Kilala didn't want to come inside for some reason
thus three of us all stayed outside.

 Especially, Yasu didn't leave one inch from Kilala and

applied energy healing on Kilala all night long.
It helped a lot, I think.

It was like,
all about love would not let us take our eyes off from our baby.

It's been like this since he got through the critical condition 3 weeks ago.

But after all he is better.

 moaning butterflies

I have an umbrella.

when it's rain I can be under it.

when the sun comes out I can play with it.

winter in Korea

There is no such a snow season in Vilcabamba, only dry and rainy season.

I am not saying I don't like it but,

once in a while I can't help myself from longing to see the snow.

This morning my sister in Korea emailed me saying  that

there has been a lot of snow causing problems.

well,,, again, come to think of the balance;
yin & yang, light & dark and sun & moon.
I am trying...

Every little is counted

Every little is counted. 

They are the masters of living and supporting each other harmonically.

The time has nothing to do with it,

it is embedded in you.

Sweet drops

It's raining, all the plants are happy in valley of Vilcabamba this morning.

New house we are moving in

The first day when I came up to this house to see weather it's livable or not,
there hundreds of big swallows were flying, rather dancing over the house, valley, and over my head. 
It was remarkable,  made me crying for its beauty. 
I would never forget what I felt and saw that day.

My husband and I decided to rent the house, I am very excited about this house. 

The view from the house is great, it opens my heart tuning into high vibration.

We are moving in on Jan 15, so looking forward to..
We will clean and fix what need to be fixed as we live in little by little.

 

Fencing around house to prevent free ranged chickens coming into house is the first project we'll start.

Rooted strong

It won’t be matter
How soon my leaves fall down
It won’t be matter as long as I am rooted strong
There will be anther time to bloom.
