Today, the temperature dropped down to minus 10 as they say. But it's quite bearable if you wear warmly.
The other day, I watched the movie American History X again. And like the first time I saw it, I was touched. Till the end of the movie when a quote I want to share here :
'We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.' [quoting Abraham Lincoln]
---
The weather is tough and it's yet tougher to live it everyday, all alone. Keep thinking about here every night and day, every single minute. Wishing to be with her all the time, every time I hear her on the phone, hear her laugh, imagine her smiling, hear her coughing, feeling her in good or bad shape, talking about all and anything, sharing time and moments, stories and life...
To You my Dear Darling, ATL

Dec 1st, Winter is showing its nose...
Hi to you, folks who are reading my blog!
Long time no write, already a month and a half has passed since my last post. Nothing important desserves a new post meantime, actually nothing I want to go public. (cos I cannot share my time and life everyday, I have my own secret gardens)
The good thing is I keep faith in future, in my tender and sweet lover I try to talk with as often as we can. Time shift doesn't help us. But I don't care and I can pay the price till the D day.
Late this evening, it was raining snows, yes u read it right, very weird! Ice was formed here and there. Very nice though ;) Of course, it was kinda freezing but not quite.
This is the moments not to stay alone, lonely and to have one's lover nearby to warm you up. I have to wait a little bit more before seeing and feeling her again.
On other hand, I still work for the same company since last year, but for how long I cannot tell. The jobs market is rude here comparing to what I've know in France, at least in Paris and surroundings. "Business is business" has its full meaning here, and to me, not for the Best! Humans are just economic factors, not human beings. I won't continue and develop some other things I can hardly bear on this new hosting land. Northern American standards of life irritate me somehow. Maybe, I'm more french than ever, more than I can think I am and I could become. Good for me, I'd like to say, for I'm crazy for a french woman ;)
Well, that's it for now. Maybe some photos here soon. It's been a while I haven't shot a single picture.
So long my dear readers. Enjoy the Winter Time ;)

Fall showing its Charm
Some pictures shot from a wonderful journey in a marvellous land on the weekend of October 7th to 9th.
Below are some others I've carefully selected from a series of 624 shots ;)
Leaves are falling. Trees getting undressed. Cold is back. Winter is coming pretty soon. I'm feeling lonely some days after my lover and me hanged up each other, saying goodbye and talk again the very next day.
Despite the long distance separing us, our love stands strong and I keep faith of tomorrow. Then I feel less lonely, happy like ever, like the very first days I feli in love with her. Besides, I'm lucky to have friends with whom I spend good times, helping me through the days of loneliness.
I'd like to rewrite the song "Goodbye my Lover, Goodbye my Friend" by James Blunt to read "Hello" instead, but I won't do that cos having too much respect for James ;) Thanks James, BTW for those good songs (You're Beautiful, High, Tears and Rain, No Bravery, Cry)
Take good care of yourself and people you love, folks and friends.

"You Could Be Happy" - Snow Patrol
Greetings folks,
a little composition of images I photographed weeks ago on a long weekend journey with friends. Hope you like it.
--- lyrics of a lovely song ---
You could be happy and I won't know
But you weren't happy the day I watched you go
And all the things that I wished I had not said
Are played on lips 'till it's madness in my head
Is it too late to remind you how we were
But not our last days of silence, screaming, blur
Most of what I remember makes me sure
I should have stopped you from walking out the door
You could be happy, I hope you are
You made me happier than I'd been by far
Somehow everything I own smells of you
And for the tiniest moment it's all not true
Do the things that you always wanted to
Without me there to hold you back, don't think, just do
More than anything I want to see you go
Take a glorious bite out of the whole world
---
LAter and take care of yourself.

Longing for her return...
Hi folks,
Long time no update, again sorry for that and to those whose expect some updates from me.
Back in Montreal since last July 8th. That makes exactly a month I left family and her to come back here, in my second host country, back to work and routine. A chance I have my loving woman on the phone everyday and twice a day. Thank you darling!
I try to live normally and I cannot help thinking of her every minute, night n day. Hard to live that way. Anyway, I try to keep up and share sweets moments (hours) talking to her on the phone. And also, I try to see friends and go out with them to try to feel a little better.
The last weekend was a busy one. You can see few pictures here :
Hope you'll like them, take care and later on

1 Week Later, After Having Tasted to Love and Happiness
Hi Folks,
Long time no blogged, sorry about that, to those of you who expect more updates from me.
Let me thank you for your visits and inputs.
As you might already know, a week ago, I was back to France for 3 weeks to visit family and especially to see my dear love again. We have had such good times. But unfortunately, life sometimes shortens good things and moments, maybe that's the reason why the moments are so intense and good to live, to feel and to remember. But now, back to routine and kind of reality till WE find each other again and hopefully for a better, even happier and the longest journey of life.
In meanwhile, some pictures of OUR trip I'd like to share with you and the world.
2 regions of France I had been visiting were Lorraine/Alsace and the Normandy.
Cathedral of Metz
Volerie des aigles de Kintzheim
Mont St-Michel
More will follow...
Goodbye for now.
Farewell.

Long Time No Blog
Hi folks,
How is life? It's been a while I haven't been here to update and add new things, telling steps of my life. Actually, too busy and no pictures to show along with my words.
Few weeks ago, I went to Ottawa with few friends for the Canadian Tulip Festival and few pcitures of that one-day trip on a rainy day came out.
Then 2 weeks ago, I went to visit my aunt's family in Toronto and got some pics too. Out of which, these orchids raised by my aunt, indoor.
That's it for now, I might come back here later to complete the post. Sorry to be short this time.
So Long Folks!

Always with Me, Always with You
G'Day everyone,
Long time no write. I've been through hard times since my Love had to leave me to go back to France. I have had some comforts from friends and I'm always keeping in touch with Her everyday. I have to be strong and keep faith. Trying to focus in what I have to do everyday at work, to kick out of my mind sad and bad thoughts to keep only good memories and hope that the time will heal me and the period of time won't be too long to handle before the Day I will be with her again and hopefully for a long long time.
Otherwise, I've been kept busy with work, and try to meet friends as often as I can here and there in Montreal. This year 2006 winter is not as rough as I expected, unless so far. Even if today is March 20th, the Spring day. Yesterday with some friends I could see the St-Patrick day parade. It was fun and so colorful, breathing life and good life. Only sad not to attend that event with Her for she talked me about that so much and unfortunately she'd never lived one.
So I took my camera and shot a lot to show her and tell her a little bit the event.
Here is a simple picture out of my 443 photos I took that afternoon.
All the Best close and distant friends,

February 19th, 2006 - Moments
Hi faithful readers,
It's been a while I've been posting nothing. Sorry about that.
I've been living up and down moments meantime but lately, I feel love overwhelming me.
Professionally speaking, things are alright, lots of work and responsabilities, at my level. I'll be back soon to show you few pictures and tell you a little more about my recent evolution ;)
Best to you all and ...

More than 6 Months have passed...
Hello World folks,
As my last posting said, time goes by so fast, making me scared of living, spending time or worse wasting it, missing and passing by so many things, so many things I'd like to do, to be able to accomplish, should do but can, couldn't or would maybe never have done them... Little confusing isn't it? That exactly the feeling I have these days.
At the same time, I try to convince myself just to live the present and do the best I can, try not to stress myself or freak myself out without real reasons. The past days spent almost alone far away from home, from my countries (France and Viet-Nam) and above all from my big whole family was kinda funny, strange and worrying for myself and somehow for my family members for which I'm always in their mind, which comforts me alots.
This is already the 4th, 2006. I wish you all who are reading these lines All the Best, a Iron Health, Fortune and Best of Luck and Success whatever you do, are about to do and wherever you are, can be and could be. As a radio guy said on the radio another day, wish people cherish what they have instead of loking at the next door people and always desiring for more and to realize that "more" will never be enough. the thing is we hve to learn to enjoy the happiness and all we've already had.
The weather is getting realy cold here but nothing unbearable yet ;) As long as we are well covered... The coldest temperature some day could gets under minus 23 degrees Celcius. You'd better be in or not stay for too outside, still, waiting for a hypothetical bus getting you on.
As to me, I would try to hold on, hang to my choice of life, my simple and adventurous way of living, all alone, by myself. I keep on doing photographs, seeing new friends here and enjoying music, cinema and communicating with family and friends as often as I can.
Once again, My Best Wishes go to you, right into your heart and all your dearest people.

PS: Winter photos coming soon, I hope but not promised any date ;)
