The word Alchemy points me to the notion of finding beauty in the ordinary and mundane. It is how I photograph - I strive to find the extraordinary, sometimes in unlikely places. In a recent workshop, I learned that my purpose and passion is to play and explore whatever is wonderful and authentic in this life journey, as well as to encourage and inspire others to do the same. Through this blog, I invite you to come along as I play and explore in my Wonderland!

Make Time For Friends
Regina is a friend I met during my university and church days. Since graduating, she's been quite the traveler... and I don't see very much of her at all. It's always a nice treat to hear from her every once in a while, when she happens to be in town.
Yesterday, I got a msg that she'll be in town until mid next week. However, since I'm going away this Friday... it was a bit tricky organizing to meet up in such a hurry. I am so glad we managed to make it work! It was great to see her and to catch up with each other even if for just an hour or so.
It is true what I read in The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin - that making time for friends is important, it contributes to one's happiness; that spending time with a girlfriend is healthy and comparable to going to the gym. So there, I've done my exercise for the day! =)
Take care my friend... until we see each other again!
