Because my memory has been less than spectacular, I need this blog to remember ……………….. things I did today. Or plan to do someday. Or want to remember one day.


When the lights are out…

….Last night, when I got home from the mall, all the lights were out and I was greeted by candles that lit the way from our kitchen all the way up the stairs and into my bedroom…It seemed that there had been a brown-out but I soon remembered that we were doing our share of the most-awaited global environmental event of the month – turning off our lights from 8-9pm to join millions of people around the world for Earth Hour!

….

….Earth Hour! The global environmental effort of the month that aims to raise awareness about global warming and climate change! Instead of just sleeping through it, I decided, what better time to finally try out what I’ve always wanted to do for a long time: Light painting/ light graffiti!

….

….So, with a tripod and my camera, coupled with a flashlight and some of Martin’s toys that had lights (like a handheld, battery-operated Mickey Mouse fan with colorful lights on the plastic rotating blades, and a pen that had a green and blue light at the end) , this is how we spent our Earth Hour:

….

We drew our planet Earth with some (giant) stars around it:

We tried to draw our home within the biosphere:

We drew our names in the dark:

Martin

We also attempted to draw a Christmas tree =)
