i am completely well and thank you so much for all of your concern. i am so happy getting back to my own self. it was an unpleasant week getting sick and not able to do many things, except taking sneaky naps in the afternoon.

friday afternoon, i drove back home, in my own car. (it felt so grand and relaxing driving it again--i've missed it loads.) i put on a CD, turned up the volume and drove pretty fast to get away from friday traffic jam. when getting into the road leading to the village, i slowed down and enjoy the music more. at some points, i stopped on the roadside and snapped pictures of sunset.

first thing first when getting home was checking on my niece and nephew. py was away playing with her friends and phun was sleeping like a rock. not many things for him to do much lately, just eat and sleep.

on suturday morning, again, i was awake hearing py's calling my name. i wanted to linger in bed longer but i didn't think i had a chance. so i got up and went downstairs with her to check on phun. then, we changed to our running outfit and went out on the road to run around the village. the air was fresh and clean. after 1 round, we went into the temple to play and take some pictures. then, her mom picked us up and we headed to tienpae's home.

i walked around the house taking pictures while py and tienpae were playing. they were blowing balloons. later we got back home with bunch of colorful balloons for everyone.

we got back home in time for phun to take a morning bath. he was screaming out loud while being dipped into the warm water. he didn't scream that long, after getting used to the water, he remained calm and enjoyed the bath. py, being a big sister, watched him every move.

i took loads of pictures this morning. trying to practice more after reading the new book about photography. it seems like, i have a long way to go on this road and heaps of thing to learn..

now i am back to my shop relishing the quiet saturday afternoon. not so long, i am going to shut the door, go up stairs and run.. (if i don't change my mind and get lazy - i just wait for the sun to go down, it's way too hot to run now.). i have a company tonight. we will watch a few movies before hitting the sack. and i will devour sleep-in after he leaves for work in the morning..
