.....city sunset

                                                

"A moment, and its glory was no more. The sun went down beneath the long dark lines of hill and cloud which piled up in the west an airy city, wall heaped on wall, and battlement on battlement; the light was all withdrawn; the shining church turned cold and dark; the stream forgot to smile; the birds were silent; and the gloom of winter dwelt on everything." -charles dickens

let's get wet @ cijin.....

....

hello everyone it's wednesday again time is running so fast that i can't almost feel the day and date....this photos were taken @ cijin beach one rainy sunday afternoon....i enjoyed clicking thought it is already raining because i don't want to miss any single opportunity to catch those lovely waves and to enjoy the scenery in front of me....on sunny day a lot of foreigners and locals were here to freshen up and others to enjoy surfing,i may post it next time i just need to be confident putting those foreigners picture here without their permission lol!

"a person should go out on the water on a fine day to a small distance from a beautiful coast, if he would see Nature really smile.  Never does she look so delightful, as when the sun is brightly reflected by the water, while the waves are gently rippling, and the prospect receives life and animation from the glancing transit of an occasional row-boat, and the quieter motion of a few small vessels.  But the land must be well in sight; not only for its own sake, but because the immensity and awfulness of a mere sea-view would ill accord with the other parts of the glittering and joyous scene.  ~Augustus William Hare and Julius Charles Hare, Guesses at Truth, by Two Brothers"

another sunset @ cheng ching lake (2)

A gem is not polished without rubbing, nor a man perfected without trials.

If you are patient in one moment of anger, you will escape a hundred days of sorrow.

"For me optimism is two lovers walking into the sunset arm in arm. Or maybe into the sunrise - whatever appeals to you. "Krzysztof Kieslowski

Know what you want to do, hold the thought firmly, and do every day what should be done, and every sunset will see you that much nearer the goal. (Quote by - Elbert Hubbard)

If I can put one touch of rosy sunset into the life of any man or woman, I shall feel that I have worked with God. (Quote by - Gilbert Keith Chesterton)

"I never saw a discontented tree. They grip the ground as though they liked it, and though fast rooted they travel about as far as we do. They go wandering forth in all directions with every wind, going and coming like ourselves, traveling with us around the sun two million miles a day, and through space heaven knows how fast and far"~John Muir

"Keep all special thoughts and memories for lifetimes to come. Share these keepsakes with others to inspire hope and build from the past, which can bridge to the future"-mattie stepanek

"Poetry is not only dream and vision; it is the skeleton architecture of our lives. It lays the foundations for a future of change, a bridge across our fears of what has never been before." -Audre Lorde

...don't and never give up.....

after all the trials,the pain,the sufferings there are still lot of good things i must be thankful for...my family friends,all the things around me now giving me much more time to enjoy my life whenever i got chance to see all the amazing things He created for us  "im still very lucky" not all have chance to see or experienced anything like i do... lucky i am for having a very very nice boss who just announced my salary increased...im not always into salary because i always believed "what you reap is what you sow".i just told myself i don't have to give up and i must keep moving for life is beautiful the fact that being alone makes me feel sad sometimes...i know everything will gonna be alright...   

~Defeat may test you; it need not stop you. If at first you don't succeed, try another way. For every obstacle there is a solution. Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. The greatest mistake is giving up.~

"Between you and every goal that you wish to achieve, there is a series of obstacles, and the bigger the goal, the bigger the obstacles. Your decision to be, have and do something out of the ordinary entails facing difficulties and challenges that are out of the ordinary as well. Sometimes your greatest asset is simply your ability to stay with it longer than anyone else."
~ Brian Tracy

"Perseverance is a great element of success. If you knock long enough and loud enough at the gate, you are sure to wake up somebody."~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

For death is but a passing phase of Life;

 A change of dress, a disrobing;
A birth into the unborn again;
 A commencing where we ended;
 A starting where we stopped to rest;
  A crossroad of Eternity;
A giving up of something
to possess all things.
 The end of the unreal,
 the beginning of the real.

 EDWIN LEIBFREED, "The Song of the Soul

 
                           

Life is what you celebrate. All of it. Even its end

Death is a natural part of life. Rejoice for those around you who transform into the Force
