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

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...

Welcome to my first week! I decided to base the theme on a Blueboy song "Cloud Babies"...

For the theme "Cloud babies" these are cloud photos with cute formations.

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

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!

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...
