Welcome to the Fourth week of FlickrPick! This week's theme is based on the song "Come Down Easy" by Spacemen 3...

For the theme "Come Down Easy" these are photos of birds in flight. That makes you dream on and wish that life is as easy as floating about the sky... And instead of flying away from life's problems, why don't you come down and take it easy...

Come Down Easy ~ Spacemen 3

In 1987 all I wanna do is fly
All I want for you to do is reach up to the sky
Well well well, and come down easy
Well well well, and come down easy
Lord I'm gonna shake it
Lord I'm gonna make it
Sure I'm gonna take it
‘Cos I feel, yeah I feel, alright, alright

In 1987 all I wanna do is get stoned
All I want for you to do is take my body home
Well well well, and come down easy
Well well well, come down easy
Lord I'm gonna shake it
Lord I'm gonna make it
Sure I'm gonna take it
‘Cos I feel, yeah I feel, alright, alright, alright

Meet me children meet me
Meet me at the top of the sky
All I want for you to do
Is take yourself a little higher
Well well well, and come down easy
Well well well, come down easy
Lord I'm gonna shake it
Lord I'm gonna make it
Sure I'm gonna take it
‘Cos I feel, yeah I feel, alright, alright, alright

Yeah I feel alright, alright, alright

Take it down, take it way down low
Down, down, down, down, down
Take it way down low
About as low as you can go

I don't know
I don't know
I don't know, but…
I don't know, but I shake it babe
Shake it babe, shake it babe
Shake it baby, shake it babe, shake it babe
Yeah so I can fly
Yeah, just take it a little higher now
Yeah, come down easy
Lord I'm gonna shake it
Lord I'm gonna make it
Sure I'm gonna take it
‘Cos I feel, yeah I feel, alright, alright, alright

Shake it babe…

Jesus Christ I was only shakin', Lord…

Shake it babe
Shake it baby
Shake it baby
Shake it babe

Kissed goodbye.. Goodbye in central london

Welcome to the Third week of FlickrPick! I decided to base the theme on the song "Missing the Moon" by The Field Mice...

For the theme "Missing the Moon" these are moon photos that makes you fall inlove from a distance.

Missing the Moon - The Field Mice

I believe as long as we
Two are in this world we'll be together
Time goes slow when we're apart
And races by when we're with one another

I know
The feelings change
But even those you think'll stay
But don't always
can go away
I do
I really do know for the best
I believe this love's to stay
I believe our love shall remain

I know you should be home
Home is far from where i am on this night
It is only
A matter of
A sense you wont know holding me down

I know
The feelings change
But even those you think'll stay
But don't always
can go away
I do
I really do know for the best
I believe this love's to stay
I believe our love shall remain

The night before
Christmas comes
We're sad, we are apart
we are so often
Earlier on
Today we kissed
Kissed goodbye
Goodbye in central london

I know
The feelings change
But even those you think'll stay
But don't always
can go away
I do
I really do know for the best
I believe this love's to stay
I believe our love shall remain

much more than the big bright moon...

Welcome to the Second week of FlickrPick! I decided to base the theme on the song "If I could Shine" by The Sweetest Ache...

For the theme "If I Could Shine" these are sunset photos that somehow tells a story.


Icarus undone
by: petervanallen ...Tokyo, Japan




Google failed me in searching for the lyrics of this song. So here, I tried to munch my ears off to listen to every word. I think I played this song over ten times today just to get all the words. I still doubt a couple of lines. But does it really matter? The song is beautiful in every aspect anyway. Although corrections are welcome!


If I could Shine ~ The Sweetest Ache

i saw you standing by the sea
with your hands clutched to you
i can see you over
if i could only want to scream
i will try i love to try
much more than big bright moon

if i could finally reach your hand
i could tell you what i feel
and tell you what is in me

if i could toil the rings of why
i could lay your hands to rest
i'd lay my hands upon your knee

if you could somehow i could be there
i could be the one to make you smile

i saw you standing by the sea
with your hands close to your knee
i could see it over

if i could only halt your scream
i could show you how to shine
much more than than the big bright moon

if i could shine.. if i could shine..

if you could somewhat i could be there
i could be the one to make you smile

burn our secret world...

Cloud Babies ~ Blueboy

amethyst sunshine burns down
on a sea lions in the day
i've known people sell their soul
for a chance to see their own
stupid face if there is love
i've seen cloud babies fall
cloud babies fall cloud babies fall

a guitar and that alone
sounds like heaven is my friend
would you listen if you could
i would burn our secret world
i have seen the face of god
i've seen cloud babies fall
cloud babies fall cloud babies fall

"blog this" by: adria.richards

So what are my plans here at FlickrPick?

Every week, there would be a theme. The new theme will be announced every Sunday 1:00am EST (Eastern Standard Time). Every theme, I would post 7 photos. So one each day. But if I am in the mood for more lovin' (lol) I can even feature 7 photos in one day! How's that?

So if you would like to be featured, just CONTACT ME and don't forget to use the subject "Flickr Pick" or else it won't go straight to my email's flickr pick inbox folder. Aight?


What are the Advantages of being Featured at FlickPick?

1. Your Photo will have more exposure (erm, espose as in on cyberspace.. not the photo itself... err, I know.. bad joke)

2. I will link to both your flickr profile and your blog (if you have one)

3. For non-flickr members with awesome photos, You may still submit your shots or send me a link to your image or blog post where you placed it.

4. You get more traffic as I promote you!

5. For the non-blogger (which is almost impossible nowadays), but ok I can link to any or all of your social networking profiles! Or if you have an online store in amazon, cafe press or anywhere else..

6. If you are a member of any traffic exchange, I will link to your page as well. How's that for an offer?

7. If you request to be featured for a week, that would be awesome too! For now, I will do this for FREE so better hurry and contact me! Maybe in a few months I will have this feature as a paid advertisement? So grab this introductory offer! (Now that sounds too silly ~lol)


What are the conditions?

1. The photos you will send and get featured here are Your Originals.

2. Photos of art are considered only if the featured theme is about artworks.

3. I gotta love your work!

4. You gotta love me back (by placing a linky love!) This means when I feature you, make sure you place a link to this blog on your profile, page, site, blog.. or whatever place you own. (In a few days, I will make banners and badges that can be used).

5. For those I pick myself - I will ask permission to place your images here and of course credit you. You do not need to link back this blog, but if you do, thank you, that would be great!

6. If you like the theme of the week and posted about it on your blog together with your photo, you can place the link to your entry on my Sunday post!

7. I love comments! So just tell me your thoughts, suggestions, what was your dream last night, what your favorite color is, how much you love or hate spongebob or any violent reactions whatsoever. And I will visit your blog and comment too!!!

Today marks a Special Day in my life as I turn another year older! Woeha! And of course I have a gift for myself, as most of us do. I made another blog! Gee.. talk about being a blogging addict..

Please visit my other blog: Tales from a Team Lead

And since I am a frustrated ARTist (*cough*) this includes painting, drawing, sketching, making videos, writing literature, photography et.al.. I would like to dedicate this blog to all the Great and non-Great Artists out there!


"The world looks so good when..." by: Janoid

As I slowly build this new place, let me try some ad-ons to this blog.

I'll sign this up for Adgitize, Entrecards and BlogExplosion. As for Directories, I'd probably do that after my vacation.

Let me see this weekend too if I can make a 125x125 customized badge for EC and easy grabbing too! Maybe after I get a haircut or after I packed my luggage. Oh laundry! I need to gather my clothes for the laundry shop too! Gee.. so much to do ..so little time!

Now I leave you with a sneak peak on what this blog would look like...



Frame on Wall

Please come back on August 21, 2009, the Grand Opening of...

Pick a Flickr Pic A Day!

For my upcoming vacation, I have set up a pre-posted daily blog for you all!

Since I enjoy surfing through Flickr, and blog some found photos on my other site, Tales from a Team Lead, I came up with the idea of posting the Amazing photos I chance upon on Flickr separately.

My other blog's primary purpose was to be a place where I can vent out my rants, raves and tales about the life of people who work in call centers. So I would not like to mess it up by posting random photos I found interesting or beautiful. At the same time, I find such great images that I want to save and share to you all.

Thus, this blog is born.

I hope you enjoy the photos I share here. And as an added treat, I would not post random finds, but there would be a theme for each week. The details will be posted soon.

What I plan for now is that a fave song will be the basis of each theme.

So come back in a few weeks for the launching of this blog!

Here's the flickr pic for the day by ligionline...

more posts in a few days....
