Reading is good. Reading makes you think. Thinking makes you alive.

I am quite a bad and a slow reader. I tend to read word for word and for me to finish a book would take a long time. Not to mention that there are plenty of distraction out here. I may enjoy surfing the web more than reading. I may end up watching some show on my computer than reading. Heck, I would be rather editing one of my favourite photo or attempt to host a podcast . But with the recently packed schedule, I wouldn’t have time to spend time exclusively to read. I would like to read….. . *cross finger*

I commute a lot. Simply because I stay quite a distance from where I need to travel most of the day. I spent easily more than an hour a day, in my car. Driving is quite mundane if you ask me, and radio has always been a life saver. I’ve got my ipod hooked up with a FM transmitter, and it works like a charm.

I consume a lot of podcast to keep myself up to date with the geek news and entertainment news. Nothing too dry – at least for me. Recently, this podcast that I am listening got me going on to Audiobook @ Audible. They were giving away free audio book by signing on as a member. Odd that they did say it was meant for the US residence only. Heck, I signed up and got my audiobook.

There is this book that I wanted to read for quite sometime. I know, some of you would say fanboy, but hey, he’s quite an inspiring character. I’ve downloaded iCon – Steve Job, the man who co-founded Apple, got outcasted, came up with nExt ,and PIXAR and made his grand entry back to the apple computers. Audio was 3 hours ++ long, to my surprise, I complete listening to the book within 2 days. Not bad that for someone who would not finish a book in months! I thought.

I’ve just completed my second book that I bought for USD$10++. Slightly less than 2 weeks. And I am looking for another book now over at audible. It isn’t really expensive for something that works for me, I think.

The thing I did not speak about, which was my bad – is that I’ve made a resolution to finish 1 book a month! Which by this time of the year, I am already 7 books behind. I thought I will single handedly fail this resolution. I think it might not be after all. :) .

So, if you are like me, who cannot sit still and just read a book, audiobooks is the answer – While doing something mundane, *read* a book. It may not be great for avid season readers, I reckon – whatever which works.

You may try signing up an audible account here. Though I don’t think the free book thingy still works.

Taiwan

It’s been almost a year since I visited Taiwan for a photography assignment. I probably didn’t showcase many of the photos taken there – May be I should. The photo above was taken in Xi Men Ting, somewhere outside the train station.

This is my model friend. Travel with us. Look at her eyes. Sparkles with shine with no eye bag – simply because it was our first day arrival in Taiwan.

I’ve got a taste of the basic capoeira last tuesday after my class. Ah, Jingga Gingga! Kicks. I looked like a noob. Oh wait, I am a noob.

Interesting. A lot of core muscle movement. A lot of lunges when comes to jinggas ginggas. A lot of spinning around.

I was at Jaya 33 where there were some demos going on. Check out some action taken.
