Restless weekends

This weekend, my 2nd trip to Channel Island. Kayaking, Snorkelling, what else? Maybe hiking? It all depends on my mood, maybe just Kayak and the rest will be resting by the beach.

It's another restless weekend. Yes, I have been keeping myself busy since the Burningman weekend which falls on the labor day weekend. Ever since then, I have never rested at home. It's good though, because it prevents me from feeling emptiness, bored, and thought of useless issue.

Will post some pictures!

(续-1) Mt.Rainier- Camp Muir - WA

如果还记得的话，之前我有提过我们一年一度的Camping Trip -Mt. Rainier/Camp Muir。
到底我们的task有没有达到呢？事情的发生与经过是如何呢？

也许我的祈祷不够诚心，不够用力，老天爷其实一点都没有被我的真诚感动过。
计划上Camp Muir的那天，天气其实是我们预料中的，因为几天前，我们就一直查天气预测，预测都一直显示下雪，下雨，不过。。。再怎么想像，我们也没办法预料成这个样子啊！

拜托！六月了啦！雪，还能下成这样？？

心里想。。。没关系，应该还可以的，我一路上一直那样安慰自己。结果到达我们的出发点，看到的是这种情况。我的心也冷了。

队友们还是很positive的，所以我们拿了我们的配备，上山去！！

看看我们！还有那面国旗！！！
eh?怎么看不到自己的？哈哈，我拿相机嘛~（死要脸）

其实当时我并不在场，因为我大概爬了一点点我就打退堂鼓了，原因是我很辛苦，加上我的伤风还没痊愈，所以我就没有难为自己了。也或许我真的怕死，我的危机感马上敲我的脑袋，不要玩到陪上生命！小时候爸爸妈妈一直都会提点我这个，所以我的危机感特强，也因为这样很多时候我都很怕死，宁愿少玩一点。所以也错过了许多。

那一天的情况其实现在回想起来，我还是有点遗憾的。遗憾的是当朋友讲起当时的情况时，我没有参与感。对，遗憾的是那个感觉！

对了，其实我们离开当地回到公司上班的第一天，同队朋友寄来了这则新闻，读了还蛮欣慰大家没有用自己的命去赌自己的能力。适而可止，是对的。

PS 的功能

我一直以来都认为用PS (Photoshop)来edit照片的，都不是真功夫。会用技巧拍出好照片才是真功夫。虽然现在我还是这样认为，不过呢。。。开始有点contradict自己的理念。

那天我开始玩PS,发觉到，其实我如果不用PS，根本就是很难呈现以下照片的效果，我是不是该投降呢？

Mt. Rainier: Camp Muir, WA

I was there on Sept. 3rd 2006, I had a short hike with friends, but I didn't make it to the top. We were just site seeing and for photography.

See the snow? That's where I am going to achieve in less than a week.

Hi Miss Mt. Rainier,

After less than 2 years, I am coming back. I know this is going to be a tough hike/climb, but I will try my best to achieve it. I want to see you again, but this time, I am going to look from the top not from the bottom. Please...I beg you, I hope you will have good mood this coming weekend, me and the whole crew need your perfect weather, so, be good, and be cooperative I am sure we all will love you!

From,

A-climber-to-be
