I knew the end day would come for my free website pages...Guys start reviewing the links I nhad put for artist residencies... After the broadcast for almost five years you won't hear from me again about any of the details I had included in my webpages... I hid alot of links for galleries, grants, commissions, search engines, artists, art works and other art details. It would be a sorry sight if they would not be available for you anymore... Chances are lost forever... Choices never made would haunt you in the end. Recession has even hit the biggest free web pages provider... I hope they don't affect the free email too... We do have to face changes and realities... Changes may not always be for the better but changes will always happen. The increase in social websites, changes in the habits of computer users and recession have affected the longer running free web pages and they are going to charge to update to a paid subscription and keep your files...They are giving notices now

The Eruptions January 8, 2000 In the lightest of gestures I see so much meaning; That I could only hold until, A fiery blast so consumes me; a shortness of breath to gasp air, unfocused eyes and throbbing breast; deep sojourns and tall peaks, From a mountain and to a grave; From the highest I loose myself, To the deep crevasse I hide And in this darkness that I bring myself into; I would not overcome alone, without my arms around you Sobbing… Crying… in my racking tremors and weakening eruptions.

I wonder what would this new chapter bring? I am excited for the run. A thrill for the unexpected and a high for the journey. I am back in Manila for a long time. There are some changes that are here to stay. I've looked back in the past and have had my share of hangups, insecurities, confrontations and challenges. Perhaps I have counted what I had missed rather than what I have gained. Material commodities and security are gains that one could expound when one had them. I appreciate my journey more for having them. Knowing what you are capable of and understanding the playing field. Just doing your research is a big contentment for me. I rather felt guilty that I opted for a hiatus when everyone was finally sitting down and working. Stress brings out the best in me or rather the stubborn facet in me. I had stretched myself far and distanced too long for comfort in these few years. A long meditation of three years seems to be a good idea then. I appreciate it now even more being th

SBW One could sum up the number of artists struggling to be recognized in the Philippine art scene and find out that it would stretch almost infinitely. From the earliest I could remember in the 1990's we were aggressive. We were always up to the dare. We were focused perhaps because there were also equally good and better young artists around us to measure ourselves with. The artist group Salingpusa and Sanggawa were both breakthroughs. The equally strong response and competitions from the Chabet conceptual artists were a pleasurable view. Both overlapping and producing more good exhibitions that we waited with rapt attention to. So many artists were also accorded recognition in the Thirteen Artists Award and figured in prestigious and not so known art competitions. We knew all of them and we knew that within the group everyone had the potential to be better. There were exceptional young individuals charting on their own too. These young artists were rare and easily supported by t
