well, it's been a fun run. but as they say "all good things must come to an end"... or at least put on the backburner indefinitely.
in the meantime, check out my latest venture in the world of Arts Photography at my new personal website. HTTP://WWW.NINO-ROY.COM peace out cubscouts mercredi, septembre 08, 2004
due to the my lack of time i have for myself and for others, i've temporarily stopped blogging for the time being. i think i may have to resort to the old fashion way of communicating with others by way of going face-to-face. it's an old way but hey! it works for me.
i am however, updating my gallery from time to time. i've been quite the shutterbug for the past couple of weeks so i should get some of these pics up for sharing. i suppose that's where the trade off is. see you someday lundi, août 23, 2004
i wish myself and good and hearty welcome back to the wonderful world of blogging! been quite awhile since i've entered things in here, 2 weeks of it mostly due to me being on my travel alberta - mountain adventure vacation. mind you, for those 2 weeks i did make a journal but i did it in the traditional form of pen and paper! i don't think i'll be re-typing it as i think it will lose its appeal with all scratched out typpos and such.
but in case you're wondering, i did have a blast. you can check out just SOME of the pics that i took in my gallery section. i also had 3 rolls fo film developed - mostly my from my 2 white water rafting trips. digital camera + water = unlikely happening. since i dont have access to a scanner, just ask me to bring my photo album if you were to see me. better off this way so i can tell my stories. better to hear from me than what i'd type. that's all i've got for the time being. i got more stuff that i should be typing but it'll remain in my wee little head for now. there's a little thing called "sleep" tht i should be investing son as i haven't been doing that for that past couple of days. damn these late night olympic telecasts! so will i finally get back on track with this journal of mine this week? stay tuned and find out cause not even i will know! can you just taste the suspense? no.. wait.. just some winterfresh colgate aftertaste. mercredi, juillet 28, 2004
holy cow! it's been awhile since i last posted here. i guess that could only mean one thing: i'm too busy SCHEMING things at the moment to jot something down in this journal!! and it will be quite awhile until i post something here again
today is the 1st day of my week and half vacation. i'll be "heading for the hills" as they say except replace "hills" with "mountains." i thought giving myself 2-3 weeks planning time would give men enough to get organized in terms of setting out an itinerary and accomdations. but just my luck i realized that right in between my vacation is a long weekend. and long weekend usually spell "crowdedness" and "no vacancy". bleh but luckily a couple of inquires i made last week have finally been responded to within the last 72 hrs. which means i finally get some (more than decent) accomodations and rentals set in place. whew! i'm glad that's settled so in a nutshell my vacation looks like this: sounds like quite the "travel alberta" trip eh? and i hear the weather is gonna be hella awesome leading up to the long weekend and maybe even past that. so if you don't hear from me in while, this is why. toodles mercredi, juillet 21, 2004
roy's wknd pt 2...
now where was i from before? as yes: nelly furtado's concert  
now i saw her perform unexpectedly @ the stampede grounds the night before her concert in edmonton. that was a just a bonus as i didn't know she was performing there. but whether it was the calgary concert or the edmonton concert, she is truly quite the entertainer. and really cute too! the weird thing about performing in a venue like the winspear centre, it kind of seems like a stuffy place where one would expect to listen to an orchestra, let alone a pop-rock concert. the intial atmosphere as that everyone was groovin but you just wanted to get up and groove. instead, the majority of the crowd was just groovin in their seats as if they were driving in their cars, listening to her live. seemed like people were thinking "gee..i would like to get up and dance on top of my seat but people around me might look at me funny" finally she got the people to dance up and stay up throughout the whole night (a little "forca" anyone?). even through some of the slower songs, it still had that live and vibrant edge to keep you up. truly one of the best performers to hear live and i can't wait until she releases a live conert dvd. i have tons of pics but it'll be awhile before i get them posted. but trust me they'll be up in early august when i return back from my vacation. oh.. and to top the night off after her 1st of 2 concerts in our city, my friend and i were walking towards my car when we saw some people waiting in the back. so we're thinking "hmm.. you think she's still here? there's a couple of budget rentavans still waiting in the back.. lets go hang out for a while and who knows?" that "who knows" turned into a "waddyaknow.." she did come out shortly thereafter to sign a couple of autographs and take a few pictures. there was only a small number of us waiting, like under 15 or so, o she was able to accommodate us all. i think i was so enamoured by her case she really looks beautiful in real life, that i forgot to mention "oh hi nelly! i loved your concert today.. as well as the one in calgary the night before." she even signed my ticket stub "to ROY  NELLY!" truly an awesome night to cap off a busy weekend

what a busy weekend i just had - so many things happening in the last 48 hrs so i'll try to type up whatever i can recall
and to those that complain that the ticket prices were too much, i'd tell them to get with it. i mean, i bought the cheapest seat online for $75.00 + s/c but there's no bad seat in the house. i was closer to the stage than i antcipated. and to see the performers perform they way they do, with such mastery, fluidity and control - it was totally worth the price of going. these guys train hard but they make it look so effortless - truly an amazing show if you get the chance to see it. with that in mind, i would mind checking out the other cirque shows in vegas "o" and "mystere" i'll type more about this concert later on this week. right i have to look at investing in this concept called "rest" as i'm sure this will be another busy week. toodles mercredi, juillet 14, 2004
i place this entry to show that i'm still kicking around... somewhat.
