Bandung Street Documentary: The Largest "Bedroom" in The World!



So, you have bought the most expensive and comfortable matress the market has to offer, taken the sleep-help pills, and still have a problem having a good night sleep?

Not for this boy!

He may have the smallest "matress" in the world, but he has the largest and the most comfortable "bedroom" you can ever imagine. So, sleep tight and have a nice dream!

This Bandung Street Documentary photo series is brought to you by Bandung Daily Photo!

Bandung Braga Festival: Rope Walker



The rainy season has set in. It's been either cloudy or rainy the past few days. I haven't been able to take outdoors photographs for a few days now. So, today's photo is not exactly a recently taken photo.

I took this photo at The Braga Festival last year.

Braga Fest is one of Bandung's many annual cultural events and festivals. It is usually held towards the end of the year. Last year it was held from December 29 through 31. I have yet to find out the exact dates for this year's event.

November 08 CDPB Theme: Books - My Blogging and Internet Reference Books



These are some of the blogging and internet books I have been reading. Honesty, this kind of books never was my cup of tea. I never was interested in technical stuff simply because - I thought - they didn't contribute much to enlightening the mind. I would prefer reading literary works, phylosophical/religious books, biographies of great personalities, history books, and books about arts and photography. All that, however, changed when I got to know blogging and became hooked to it. At first, I bought and read these books out of necessity, that is to find answers to my questions and help me solve the problems I had with my blogging. Then, as I began to grasp the basics of it, I began to want more of it - not in the addictive sense, but rather because I began to see the possibilities of using the internet and blogging for my teaching, which is my job, and my photography, a hobby which I call "a love affair" because of the joy it has given me.

Anyway, this kind of books still are not the primary kind of books I would read. My home library (and my wife's and my children's), which I can proudly say quite sizeable, are still dominated by my cup of tea's books.

Just in case you are curious: How many internet and blogging books have I read? Not many. I'd say about 20 something.
