Cathy Nguyen

Have you ever heard of Cathy Nguyen? I've stumbled upon her videos on YouTube few months ago and I fell in love instantly. I've been enjoying her singing and songs for months (my husband Jonah is the one and only witness), they're really good and been on my Top 25 Most Play List on my iTunes :) Here are some of her videos on Youtube which I love so deep... Enjoy!

Letter to Sinus

Dear Sinus problem,

What is your beef with my poor nose? Why am I waking up sick this morning? You're so blocking my nose... and now my throat is just as worse.

I've noticed that your attacks come more frequently now. And I'm trying to lay off the Neozep, because if I were to take a pill every single time you come by, I'd be pretty much medicated all the time. So without medication, all I do is sneeze and sneeze and blow my nose and sneeze, and wait til you go away.

My nose threatens to fall off if the problem persists, which is why I'm writing this nice letter to you, please and thank you go away.

Cheers,
Amarantha

Oktoberfest

What is Oktoberfest? Oktoberfest is a 16-day drink-a-thon in Munich, originally began in 1810 as a commemoration of the marriage of Crown Prince Ludwig and Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen. Now an important part of Bavarian culture, the festival features good beer, hearty German food, and carnival rides for some reason. Here are some photos I gathered from Life.com --- one of my favorite websites for admiring beautiful photos.

Now, still wondering why I miss  Germany so much? 

I wanna go and wear dirndl and Jonah wears lederhosen! That would be fuuunnn... Anyone else is coming?

Falling Slowly

It is a song written and performed by Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová which also appeared in their 2007 film Once. Very lovely song. Kind of haunting, simple and it is one of my favorite songs ever. It is melancholically beautiful.

Clouds, Birds, Moon, Venus.

How great Thou art...

Explanation from the photographer, Isaac Gutiérrez Pascual,  who took this photo in the first week of September 2010 : 

"Sometimes the sky above can become quite a show. In this photo, thee Moon and Venus converged, creating quite a sight by itself for sky enthusiasts around the globe. From some locations, though, the sky was even more picturesque. In the above image taken last week from Spain, a crescent Moon and the planet Venus, on the far right, were captured during sunset posing against a deep blue sky. In the foreground, dark storm clouds loom across the image bottom, while a white anvil cloud shape appears above. Black specks dot the frame, caused by a flock of birds taking flight. Very soon after this picture was taken, however, the birds passed by, the storm ended, and Venus and the Moon set. The Moon and Venus have now separated, although Venus will remain visible at sunset for the rest of this month. "

One of the perks of living in Bali is that you get to see this kind of sunset like, everyday! The girl in the photo : yours truly who was trying to capture this beautiful sunset using digital pocket camera. Have a great weekend!

Sara Bareilles - Gravity

Yes, this is my second time posting this song. Click here to see the first post. The difference is, this one is the official video clip of the song and the earlier post is the song and lyrics. I thought the video clip is very beautiful, low-budget yet very arty. I can't help it, I'm just too much in love with this song and Sara Bareilles. I hope you enjoy the song and video as much as I do :) Have a good weekend!
