Moon Bathing

Most people sunbathe during their vacation. We moonbathe under the stars.

Now that’s the life.

Campsite under the starlight

Tuesday, September 11th, 2012 :: 10:42 pm

Just got back from my trip to Peru – it was simply amazing! For some reason, I’ve always wanted to visit Machu Picchu and hike the Inca trail. I loved the fact that we were pretty much the only group hiking the Inca Quarry trail, adding to the serenity and peacefulness of this hike.

As we stepped out of our dinner tent and looked up, we could see the stars & milky way ever so clearly, with the moonlight shining brightly above. Here’s a shot on the first night at our campsite, 3700m above sea level, pointing towards the south.

More to come.

“Fall” In Love: The Jayesslee Sisters in Vancouver

Sunday, November 6th, 2011 :: 4:31 pm

The YouTube sensation twin sisters from Australia, Janice and Sonia Lee, aka jayesslee, were in Vancouver last month on the 14th! After hearing their covers on YouTube, I couldn’t miss this chance to hear them live!

The concert started out with the string trio, Infinitus, moving on to Ezra Kwizera from Rwanda, and then the third special guest was Jay Calder on acoustic guitar (you can hear a bit of his music in the videos embedded in this post).

Then of course, everyone was thrilled when the the twins took the stage after about an hour and half into the show! Janice and Sonia kept the audience “in love” with their harmonious voices for the reminder of the time, even with a few songs that haven’t been released on their YouTube channel before! Their bubbly personalities, smiles, and interactions with the audience certainly make it a night to remember. Loved the set decoration. I’ve also included three of their videos at the end :-)

Hope they are back in Vancouver for another concert soon!

2011 Celebration of Light – Canada

Tuesday, August 9th, 2011 :: 11:40 pm

Following up with the last fireworks show of the summer is Canada with “Then and Now.” I must say they made some interesting music choices, but did quite well with syncing it up with the fireworks.
I still liked Spain better, and there wasn’t much wind this time around… which makes a bad photo-taking environment :-( Nonetheless, here’s a recap!
