Believe it or not, that opening there on the left (with grills) is actually a window. Just not finished yet ... am wondering if it will ever be finished.
It has been like that for months now ...
Yup, am not connected to the internet most of the time these days since my computer's quite far from the wifi source in the house and so getting a signal here in the room has always been like "come and go". It gets to be tiring at times .. but what can I do, huh?! Am lucky i have connection right now! ;P
I do get to have the time to dabble with some of my pictures, though ... :)
WQ #26: How do you pursue peace in your life?
Admittedly, that's kind of a tough question for me. I try to pursue peace in my life and it is a constant struggle. lol. What I do is just not to be affected so much by the daily challenges (yeah, even small things sometimes gets to me ... sigh) and if ever I encounter situations wherein I can't do much (or anything) about it, then I try to accept it as it is. Then think no more if it, if possible. I try, too, to be content with what I have (except for my cameras and it's lenses, LOL) and instead strive to be more understanding and patient. :)
WQ #25: Who is the most annoying person that you (have been unfortunate to) have met in person?
Oh my ... when I was younger I had this supposedly "unending hatred" to another person because she was sooo bossy! Wherever I'd go she'd be there, telling me to do this and to do that. But as I got older (which, unfortunately, wasn't soon enough in my opinion), I realized that she was only guiding me; helping me become a much better person. :)
Sure, I still meet some annoying persons every now and then, but I try to pass them off as people who, like me, also needs guidance.
WQ #24: Who among your dearly departed hold(s) a special place in your heart?
I honestly don't know ...
My family and I lived far from our cousins so we grew up not really being that close to them. Sure, we had our usual summer visits but seeing each other rarely didn't give us any chance to be really close. My best friends are still around, too, and I am fortunate enough to be still having my parents with us (they are both almost 80yrs old now ...) and I hope it stays that way for a long long time! :)
... unless you can consider the death of Steve Irwin .. it affected me much. Another good soul who left us .... good thing there are other similarly minded individuals around, like Jeff Corwin (he's cute! lol).
WQ #23: What comes to your mind and what do you feel about the lyrics of the song “Welcome To My Life” by Simple Plan?
Simply another person asking for help ... :)
Not necessarily the singer, of course. Or the writer. lol.

My contribution to Monochrome Friday ...
That's my sister's family pet and his name's Paltik. He's not particularly fond of cameras, specially if it makes those clicking sounds. lol. Thank goodness for 12x optical zooms! :)
I’ve been tagged by Leah to do this meaningful tag. It’s a meme highlighting the threat of breast cancer and how important it is to practice early detection procedures like self breast examination.
* Breast cancer risk increases with age and every woman is at risk.
* Every 13 minutes a woman dies of breast cancer.
* Seventy-seven percent of women with breast cancer are over 50.
* Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in women between the ages of 15 and 54, and the second cause of cancer death in women 55 to 74.
* Risks for breast cancer include a family history, atypical hyperplasia, early menstruation (before age 12), late menopause (after age 55), current use or use in the last ten years of oral contraceptives, and daily consumption of alcohol.
* Early detection of breast cancer, through monthly breast self-exam and particularly yearly mammography after age 40, offers the best chance for survival.
