TAHALIA ST., Riyadh - In the wide open space where you can be whatever you want, whoever you want, is like getting a hold of brushes and oil color paints to stroke some expounding pieces inside your mind in a totally complete colorless canvass. Call it an act of letting go off something within your troubled or not-so troubled consciousness. Or, maybe perhaps we have to, to let your inner guts wander in the kaleidoscopic world of illusive realm of creativeness.

While with the outstanding Pinoy designers here in Riyadh, the silence were conked out by the cherished words and inspiring music of John Lennon…imagine there's no heaven…no hell below us…above us only skies…imagine all the people living in life in peace. Yeah man, a pompous dream of peace Lennon wants when he was still here wandering in the unruliness. But to the moral men, these word of whispers were just a clear of present delusions so as John's figments of imagination. A word of whispers in our heart that will disseminate hopes within our senses atleast in a song, in a very powerful and intimate song only a true-born peacemaker can imagine…imagine there's no country…nothing to kill or die for…and no religion too.

No wonder, Lennon was cold shot dead, imagine if Lennon's mental pictures were true an can set into a bold action into the open, and we dreamers of peace, brotherhood of diplomacy and the new offsprings of the hippie-ish humanity will goin' to thrust and embrace that brawny conviction, most probably the hollier-than-thou will get nothing from their dyed-in-the-wool yet wide-of-the-mark prophetic juxtaposition of the science of the truth and holiness infusing within our tired and pious psyche. Imagine the greedy builders of every nation will starve to death and will die in the pariah without the helpless attendance of the benign preys. Just imagine all of these paranois within will goin' to get in touch with their radical hearts, Lennon's howling through, wanting the realm, the mundane sphere will be as one…living their lives in peace, no unwillingness creed, vindictive tyranny, no imbalanced possessions, no starvation nor killings of misunderstanding and pains of hatred. Above us only ONE up in the skies.

Now, you can shut the mouth in my mind howlin' back like Ginsberg the pieces of peace Lennon's delirium before…be still, be aware and imagine the peace of John's troubled dream ressurects within…you may say I'm a dreamer but I'm not tyhe only one…I hope someday you'll join us…

TAHALIA ST., Riyadh - For barely a week we experience the fury of the sand storms here in Riyadh and after the sky clears the entire city we climb up in the height of a rooftop to take a closer look at the beauty of the city after the storm, and we find nothing but the the true and unexplainable wonders of the really great city of Riyadh.

From the distance you can see the great landmarks here in Riyadh, the two amazing towers the Saudians bulit to make their land a remarkable one, using my Panasonic Lumix Digicam 7.2 megapixels, I captured these two great landmarks, the towering Faisaliah Tower and Kingdom Come Tower located in Olaya in the heart of the city. Looking at this great two really brings an elated feelings in my not-really loneliness but something else that I really can't explain crawlin' down deep inside my beingness. So, everytime that rub-a-dub goes inside me, I go up here in the rooftop where you can be free from the hassles and dazzles the fast and furious mundane world brings. Sometimes its good to be free from the busy world where you can relax and be focus of what is happening around.

Sometimes it's good to be alone in the rooftop and feel the serenity of being free. Anyway, the pictures will tell how beautiful the city is, not only after the storn but as well as everytime you trek for a peacefulness place, alone and free from anything, or atleast trying to be free and away from reality, or even perhaps, a time for a reflection up here on the nice and cool place, up here on the roof.
