Pamparo in Toronto

Although it is hard for me to admit, summer is officially gone. Not because it is past the 21st of September. I have proven it myself. Tonight, me & my wife went out to grab some sushi & sashimi. I’ve gotten used to going out wearing short-sleeve shirt & my favorite slippers. But not tonight. I had to wear my fleece sweatshirt, AGAIN …

Oh well, what can we do! I guess nothing but to enjoy it as much as we can. Hello Fall — show me all those beautiful leaves!

Photography has always fascinated me. So much so that I bought a fully-manual Nikon FM2N around 5 years ago. Now, I finally gave in to my temptation: Digital SLR. It seems all logical to me. Ever since I bought an Olympus C50Z point-and-shoot digital camera, I hardly use my SLR. I guess it was just the turn-around time to see what the pictures look like & how easy it is to share my photos on the net. Unfortunately, there are consequences. I can’t seem to get the best photos that I wanted with a small digicam. What’s the solution for me? Nikon D50. I am skeptical about the quality of a digital photo compared to a film. I still am. Well, for the convenience and for my own use, a DSLR is more than enough. Ok, Ok. You might say that I’ m justifying what I have. And that is true. This is the only way I can force myself to give up film for digital. I still have my beloved FM2N and I don’t have any plans of getting rid of it. But for now, I will enjoy myself shooting with my new Nikon D50!

Finally had a chance to upload photos from our 1000 Island trip last month which can be found here.

I find myself listening to Jeremy Camp more & more. I found his voice really good & the song arrangements superb. Not to mention the deep love that he has for God that just dissipates from the lyrics. I should say that I’ve been blessed by songs like, I Lay Down My Pride, This Man, Breathe, Take You Back & Restored. Hopefully I don’t get into trouble posting the lyrics of the Restored here. Please read & understand what the message is … you’ll be blessed.

Restored

All this time I’ve wandered around searching for the things I’ll never know
I’ve been searching for this answer that only will be found in your love
And I feel it
My heart is being mended by your touch
And I hear it
Your voice that’s shown my purpose in this world

(Chorus)
You have restored me from my feeble and broken soul
You have restored me

I’ve only come to realize my strength will be made perfect at your throne
Laying all reflections down to see the precious beauty that you’ve shown
And I feel it
My heart is being mended by your touch
And I hear it
Your voice thats shown my purpose in this world.

(Bridge)
Laying all these questions down youve answered what I need
Youve given more than I deserve your making me complete
You give me all these open doors I’m humbled at your feet
To show me what youve done for me.

All this time I’ve wandered around searching for the things I’ll never know.

Thanks for all the people who were involved in setting up the GBC camp this year, you know who you are. I also would like to thank all people who attended. It was such a blessing to see a lot of members supporting this ministry. ‘Til next year! God Bless …
