Hundred Million Suns

When I was young, I always like to tile head and look at the stars until my neck sores and I fell dizzy.  Seeing them and imagine little stories was much easier back then.  Then I forgot about them for a long, long time until I discover outdoor again.  Now days with the millions of man made lights shinning everywhere, I only got to see stars when I go on my travels, ones a year or twice a year if I am lucky.

The stars never fail to amaze me.  They shine like a hundred million suns across the sky in tiny little crystal dots. The beauty of camping, is that you got to enjoy the this amazing view any time you want to.  Especially during the middle of the night, when everyone is sleeping, I got the whole sky to myself.  It is seriously hard to get out of the warm sleeping bags during the middle of the night, but the view and feeling is just priceless.  Close your eyes and imagine, the whole world is quiet, the air is chill and clear; you smell the the dirt, and you look at the sky decorated with a hundred million suns. My tentmate thinks that I need to go use the potty, but in reality I just want to see the stars and enjoy a quiet moment all by myself.  For a little while, I relive the moment where I tiel my head and look at the star until I got dizzy.

Scissor Sisters


Scissor Sisters's concerts are always mind blowing good.  The energy and the vibe are some of the best I ever experience.  The recent show at Terminal 5, NYC is no exception.  As this was their last show in North America, and Del (lead guitarist), Ana (lead singer), Jake (lead singer), and Babydaddy (Bassist) are all from NYC, many of their friends and family came watched.  Ana salute her in-laws and that just make the show feels a little more intimate and special.  I love how she is always so confident about who she was and who is now.  I always pick up these little quotes people say and imprinted in my mind, so there is no exception when Jake said: " I don't believe in guilty pleasure, you like what you like and you hate what you hate" This is so true, it is just part of who you are, you like the things that others my not agree, but it is what defines you.
