Went to see the Telectroscope today ^_^ for those of you in London I'm sure that you've heard about this before but it's an art piece that connects in real time, fiberoptic video of people in NYC and London ^_^ and you can communicate with the ppl on the other side with a white board ^^ although there werent many ppl when i went cuz it was 11 in the morning here and 4 in the afternoon in London it was cool ^_^

 front  back  what you see inside the lens ^_^ 

View from the dock

so since the Telectroscope was in Brooklyn, we walked across the Brooklyn Bridge to walk along the East River in Manhattan ^_^

The Manhattan Bridge (as seen from the Brooklyn Bridge) ^_^ you can see the Empire State Building in the bg of the first pic ^_^

This was at one of the pedestrian entrances to the Brooklyn Bridge, it looked cute so i had to take a pic ^_^

The Brooklyn Bridge

From parks along the East River

the first pic is a broken trumpet and second is a broken guitar the third is the Statue of Liberty ^^

The World Financial Center

in the last pic, I know it doesnt look like it but its a LOT of stairs to climb up of! when my friend and iI first came here we wanted to go up to the top to look out and see Ground Zero, we thought it would be a few stair cases up, nothing big, it turned out to be a long walk up @_@ but its cool how there's palm trees indoors ^_^ its the closest to palm trees I'll ever get in the city haha 

View of New Jersey from NYC

Random architecture in the city while we walked along the river

As you can all see I walked A LOT today and I would really appreciate it if no one would take my pictures without my permission since it's all due to my hard work and stupidity.  I dont bite, really, just ask ^_^ ....... unless you take my pics without my permission then I'll be nasty about it ^_^

its been raining for a few days but a bit of spring made it inside the house to brighten things up while studying and writing papers >< only 3 more weeks before the semester is completly over ahhh ><

clickie and save without permission; ill cry

sakura sake in the city ^_^ yay!

sakura sake boku no mune no naka ni
mebaeta na mo naki yumetachi
furimuku na ushiro ni wa asu wa nai kara
mae he mae he

Cherry blossoms bloom inside my heart.
Dreams without names started to grow.
Don't look back, because there's no tomorrow behind you.
To the future, to the future.

its really amazing the difference a week can make, last week none of the trees were blooming but this week everythings pink and white ^_^  and yes the building might look familiar to HanaDan fans cuz it's the Flat Iron Building ^^ yah know where Domyouji and Makino bumped into each other when she went to NYC in the first eps ^^ ahh im still upset i missed the filming of that!! >< the pics from this entry and the previous one were taken from the park that Makino and Rui were talking in before she went across the street to get them hotdogs ^^

of course i started playin with colors ^^
    

look i found a friend ^^
   

i like how the white and pink tree branches came together ^_^ its like theyre friends holding hands ^^

other flowers around ^_^
    

im sure my pics are "right clickable" but please dont take them, theyre the result of my personal creativity and if you really want to save them please ask me first

dont know why but i felt like sharin some pics ^^ things have been rough but taking pics helps me relax a bit, so i guess you can say these few pics are the result of all the stress thats been goin on in my life for the past two months

this daffodil reminded me of the yellow panda cub that aiba chan was supporting on the TSD SP, kindda shy... 

for these pics i started playin with the color accents so only a certain color is shown and the rest is black and white ^^ so these are all pure yellow daffodils and pink tulips ^^
  

i think my pics are "right clickable" but please dont take them or ill cry T_T

sorry to disappoint by this is gonna be used for my random pictures of land and city scapes so there wont be much to read here... sorry ^^; but enjoy the pics as the slowly come up ^^  

btw I think that these pics are "right clickable" since I dont know how to disable that function but PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THEM, this is all a result of my creativity and time and they're all really important to me so if you feel the strong urge to save them PLEASE ASK ME FIRST, thanks ^_^
