Why taking pictures?
Because there are countless precious images in the life time that we want to keep.

Departures

NYC 2009
Originally uploaded by S. Zachko

There are four friends from different areas leaving the firm in the same week. They all have worked in the same company either, 5, 6, or 10 years. Seeing those to be empty seats, I feel so sorry for our lost for such great talents while I wish my friends the best to pursue their happiness.

Sometimes, I took friends for granted. In reality, good friends and good colleges are equally precious good lovers. At the end, we are only human being.

So long my friends. Best Wishes for you...

Kiss a Girl - Keith Urban

I was not a country fan. But this is very funny one. You have to admit that Keith Urban is a professional singer..Interesting part here is that Keith was not even born in America and yet a great country singer..

Lifetime Journey

There are not always roses alone the way.
There are not always easy way to pass.
Lots of puddles,
Lots of detours,
So many distractions,
So many noises.
I am not always at my best dresses,
You are not always at your ears.
However,
We are just keeping walking,
Towards the same end,
Who know where.
Without hands in hands,
Likes birds can fly freely,
But still side by side.
I could trip
And you could fall.
But still,
We are still keeping walking with high spirits
On this lifetime journey..
Side by Side...

Walking around Wall Street area during the lunch break, I found an artist inviting me to write something on his artwork by asking me to write anything to Lloyd if I have ever chances to say to him

It is very complex feelings when asked on the spot. His name will be in the history for sure. What should I ask? What should I write on the board? Within seconds, I wrote down the following to be politically correct - What is your "China" Policy?

What would you ask?

Happy July 4th

This is the first time we went to friends' July 4th party in Hoboken! We were so happy to celebrate 400 anniversary for finding Hudson River! Girls had a ball! We had great time with old friends and new friends.

Chilaxing

Mango Ginger Mojito, Hoboken W
Originally uploaded by S. Zachko

W hotel is opened in the town. We brought the whole family to this new place for a different experience after girls' dancing recital.

While it was too early to seat us for the dinner, we were hanging in the lunge area to chill and relax. Looking into the menu, I saw the name of this drink (i.e. Mango Ginger Mojito) popped out and decided to give it a try.

Amazingly, the drink is surprised refreshing. With such as delicious drink at hand, seeing girls playing with fancy games in the lunge, I felt that we were in some sort of fancy European trip without spending any money on the air fair. Different from the feeling in New York, we enjoyed the slower pace and more friendly hospitality. It made me love to live here more...

New Lives in Hoboken

Life in Hoboken
Originally uploaded by S. Zachko

There are lots of new constructions in Hoboken. Residents try very hard to keep every piece of green park.

On the other hand, I found our friends are trying to couple with the new changes as well. They flew over and have their new generations born here, this mile square town, just like we have done..

Something in Hoboken attacks people all over the worlds. People (and all creatures) live in this little town peacefully. We don't have to always agree with each other. But we allow the differences and learn from each other and grow up together. I hope that we can bring up a president of USA or some sort of importance person from this place. Because it is a wonderful place, because this is how the whole world should be..

Live goes on..

Bronx Zoo, NYC 2009

It's mother's day. However, my big baby was not in the good mood for any reasons. Walking in the zoo, I am trying to wear down her moodiness by focusing on some routine stuff. I wondered if I have been ignoring all my frustrations and disappointments by focusing all the rational reactions. When bearing no more, I just hide in the private corners and cried it over to collect myself.

Live goes on no matter we like it or not. We can take a break to feel our own feeling and then move on. There is always something else that we can look forward. As a mother, I can slow down and wait for my girls ad ensure they are able to move on...

I am watching you...

Since both Aaron and I love to take pictures, we rarely have pictures together besides wedding pictures. However, we like to take pictures of each other. (I think he is cuter than I am).
