Security Update 2005-003
Updating the system software has always been straight forward on the Mac. Software updates are easily completed and after a reboot, the computer will run without any problems.

Great weekends
The past two weekends have been great for us! We went on two very interesting outings with a couple of close friends and throughly enjoyed every bit of it.
We've shot lots of images and will be sharing them here once we're done processing them. :-P

MacGPS Pro
We were looking around for a Mac software that can provide a real-time moving map when we found MacGPS Pro. This software looks promising, but we'll have to consult our more experienced friend before taking the plunge. Do stay tuned for more updates on this. ;-P

A tribute to the BSKs
We've just found out from the threads posted on two local Internet forums that the pair of nesting Black-shouldered Kite we were observing for the past few weeks had suffered the lost of it's young.
This sad event just comes to show the fragility of life and nature. We're sure that the pair of BSK will move on from here and hope they'll be nesting in a safer location soon.
Meanwhile, we would like to share an image of a juvenile Black-shouldered Kite (shot sometime back) as a tribute to the lost young and poor parents.

Words Of Wisdom
We got this quote off a close friend's blog and thought it to be very meaningful and relevant to our lives. May we share with you, our readers this beautiful quote:
"People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful you will win some false friends and true enemies;
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you've got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway."
-Mother Teresa
